New match in a new subforum!

I was playing Heroclix the other day, and building my team, I had 103 points left. I looked at my selection and realized that U HT Batman and R IC Hulk both cost the same. This got me thinking. Just because they are Heroclix equals doesn’t translate back translate back to comics. I think most of us would agree that Hulk could beat Batman in a fight.

That is the idea for this tournament. Every entry will be close to the same amount of points Heroclix wise, but this will be their comic forms fighting!

Rules:
This will be a standard single elimination tournament with 32 combatants. There will be 2 to a fight. They get no knowledge of each other (unless they have fought in the past). The only thing they get is the Heroclix figure of there enemies, and a PAC so they know what the opponent looks like and a bit about what they can do (this can be misleading however, like if they face Electro and think he will try to poison them). They will have 5 minutes to prepare. This is a fight to the death or KO, whichever happens first, and they must fight (no waiting for the opponent to die of starvation). They have with them what they normally carry and what there fig has if it is different. (Like how Bullseye doesn’t carry a gun, but he has one on the fig). If the fig that is being used is the rookie, you do NOT have to treat the fighter like that. (unless the characters powers change dramatically ie: Rouge)

When you vote, please try to justify your answer. You don’t have to write an essay, just a short explanation will do.

Terrain
There are 10 terrains that are all 5 miles in diameter. They will be chosen randomly.
With out further delay…

Jean Grey
fig from IC, 31pts.
vs.
Sgt. Rock
fig from CJ, 35pts.

Terrain:
Purgatory by Magnito
This could quite possibly be the emptiest terrain ever. There is nothing. Not a tree, not a building, not a ground. It appears to be a big white room, except with no ceiling or floor. The fighters will be suspended in the air as if they are flying or swimming. Those that fly or swim will feel at home, those who usually walk, may have to take some time to get used to it.

21-25pts. winner: Live Wire
26-30pts. winner: Zatanna

Round 1
Poison Ivy vs. Havok: Havok
Silver Sable vs. Ultimate Spider-Man: Silver Sable

JEAN GREY
A powerful telepath second only to Professor Xavier, Jean is a founding member of the X-men. Originally dubbed Marvel Girl, Jean used her telekenetic powers against the threat of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants led by Magneto. She fell in love with team member Cyclops but happiness was short-lived when Jean was placed in suspended animation by the cosmic being, Phoenix Force, who assumed her identity. When the Phoenix committed suicide, the X-men assumed it was Jean who had died. However, she was later recovered by the Avengers and rejoined her mutant family where she continues her fight to protect human and mutant-kind.

SGT. ROCK
Enlisting when Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Frank Rock was assigned to the newly formed Easy Company. After fighting against Rommel in Africa, Rock earned his stripes at the battle of Three Stripes Hill. Though he would be offered promotions over the years, Sgt. Rock would refuse them all, preferring to stay on the battlefield with his men. Rock and Easy Co. would fight their way across Europe occasionally battling the #### Iron Major, but all in all, he was just a soldier doing his job. Years later and now a general, Rock was appointed Secretary of Defense in President Lex Luthor's cabinet. When Imperiex attacked Earth, General Rock seemingly gave his life to defend his
country one last time.

NOTE: Obviously, this is pre-Phoenix Jean.

I'll cast my vote. I think this match is obvious, but maybe someone can argue the other side. First off, Jean has the mobility. She can TK herself around with ease while Rock tries to get the hang if moving in this place. She can also shield herself against Rock with her TK shield, and knock him out with her mental powers. Also, he has no where to hide in this, the most anti-stealth terrain ever. My vote...
JEAN GREY

Jean Grey doesn't have anything to throw at Sgt. Rock. Rock starts shooting at her, but she makes a force field. Then, he starts chucking grenades, which break the force field, because if this Grey is pre-Phoenix then her telekinetic powers aren't as strong and she can't maintain a bubble that well.

My vote: Sgt. Rock.

BTW, yes I hate Cyke and Jean, why do you ask?

If this were the total rookie Jean from the start of the Xmen, Rock could maybe, maybe surprise her and win.

It's not though, and she'll man handle Rock (shame to, because I like Rock a lot better).

One question here - how does this Jean have telepathic/mental powers if her Heroclix versions are obviously geared as "TK" Marvel Girl, only? :)

Other than all of the things Rock is carrying of course.
Ie. grenades, guns, etc, etc, etc.
Jean wins.

####it. Rock got the short end of the stick here. Jean for a fairly easy but uninspiring win.

Hah, can't always trust your heroclix. Jean Grey will win this battle 100% of the time Rock can't hurt her, can't suprise her, and can't run from her.

Yea, Jean wins. Mind-to-mind KO, TK KO, disarm and then hang him upsidedown so he gets really dizzy KO (Ok, that last one's not a KO), she has her choice.

Jean will win this (see, I am participating in other battles!). Even if she cannot throw anything at Rock, she can throw him around like a rag doll and there is nothing Rock can do to stop her. Then while in the air, she can make the pins leave his grenades to blow him up. Go Jean! Jean to the next round.

I really hate Jean. I'd vote for Sgt. Rock but I don't think he'd win. Sgt. Rock is so much cooler than Jean though, so maybe he's got an ace up his sleeve, or maybe not.
