The last match of round 1, and look, they drew the last terrain that hasn't been used yet.

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…

Black Cat
fig from CT, 32pts.
vs.
Natalia Kassle

Terrain:
Free Falling by Goblin_Avenger
Combatants are "Poofed" far above the earth and fall downward as "Free Falling" by Tom Petty plays. When the song ends (4 minutes 9 seconds) the combatants hit ground, or if they apply themselves they can manage to land in a lake. The terrain on the ground has a farm house in the center, corn fields to the NW, Cotton fields to the SW, a decidous (sp?) forest to the NE, and a broad, 20ft deep lake to the SE. (Editor’s Note: No contestant will be killed or KOed on impact, although they may be injured. This can only be won by fighting after all)

BLACK CAT
Taking after her father, Felicia Hardy became a cat burglar; training in martial arts and acrobatics. To re-enforce her unlucky name, Black Cat would rig accidents to make her enemies think she had probability control powers. She fought and was eventually caught by Spider-Man. She later escaped and ended up fighting crime alongside her "Spider." The two became romantically linked but after she was wounded by Doctor Octopus, Spidey forbade her from her crime-fighting career. Black Cat made a deal with the Kingpin to attain true super powers, getting the ability to bring bad luck to anyone she was near. In part to this new power, Spidey and Black Cat ended their relationship.

NATALIA KASSLE
A former agent of the Russian intelligence, Natalia is an expert in hand-to-hand combat and her skill with knives is uncanny. She joined the Danger Girls but thanks to her cold demeanor, never really fit in with the other girls. Natalia was seemingly killed while on a mission. She later resurfaces as a prominent member of the Hammer Empire involved in a scheme to use three artifacts that could grant god-like powers. Abby realized she had been used by Natalia to recover the artifacts, and went to stop her one-time ally. Their fight was interrupted by the resurrection of an evil dead Atlantean king. The two teamed up to destroy the undead creature and once he was defeated, Natalia tried to kill Abby once more in the fighter plane they were in. But Natalia fell to her death and is presumably dead.

Black Cat is agile enough to land the right place and make sure Natalia lands in the wrong place with her probability manipulation.

My vote: Black Cat.

Black Cat is based on luck and Natalie as it seems to be basing on unluck. Luck means alive and unluck means won't survive. So Black Cat has a high chance of being staying alive in the game than Natalie Kassel. Winner : Black Cat.

Cats always land on their feet. Black Cat will have the luck needed to land in the right spot. Natalia's only chance is to kill BC before they hit the ground, and that is not going to be easy, (considering they're 5 miles apart). My vote...
BLACK CAT

As always, these Round 1 matches will stay open for 1 more day. Tommorow, I will start round 2. If you havn't voted for a match that isn't going the way you think it should, vote now.

Skillwise, they're not far, Black Cat maybe a little more, but Nat has knives to make up for it. It really comes down to luck.


Which really, really sucks for Nat since BC controls that too.


My vote: Felicia
