Moa's "Superpowered Showdown" Edges:

Skullduggery Pleasant vs. Iron Man: I'm going to have to partially agree with Appelmonkey on this one. While Skullduggery would originally be at a disadvantage when his revolver and sword lack effectiveness against Iron Man's armor and his less powerful elemental magics have little effect on Tony. However, I don't think Vile would really trump Tony. If Tony had Hulkbuster, I'd say he could easily defeat Vile. Without it, I see the battle being a lot closer between the two. In the end, my very slight edge goes to Iron Man. I think his armor's durability will see him through.

Edge: Dead Men

Ghastly Bespoke vs. Captain America: Cap is the better hand-to-hand combatant and while Ghastly will definitely prove a challenge, Cap's shield negates any advantage Ghastly has with his magic. Edge: Avengers

Anton Shudder vs. Hulk: Third time's a charm, right? Appelmonkey hit what I was thinking right on the head. Anton Shudder doesn't appear to be actually capable of harming the Hulk outside of Gist form. A minute of Gist against the indefinite amounts of time that Banner can remain as Hulk?

Major Edge: Avengers

Valkyrie Cain vs. Black Widow: I had trouble deciding on this one but I think I give it to Valkyrie Cain. Her armor will protect her from Black Widow's gunshots and with all her gadgets and gizmos, Black Widow has nothing to contend with Cain's necromancy.

Edge: Dead Men

Saracen Rue vs. Hawkeye: TBC

Dexter Vex vs. Thor: TBC

X-Factors: TBD

Overall Winner: TBD
