User blog comment:Thundrtri/Comic book team tourney round 1 match 1: Drayco90 VS Beastman14/@comment-5232784-20121124011027

Very, very interesting. Normally I wouldn't give much credence to hero vs villians fights, due to the fact that heroes are often better quality fighters in the comics. But here, you use some very heavy hitting villians, two fo which are strong enough to fight a team of heroes by themselves.

So lets take a look:

1. Captain America vs Todd Ingram

Really no contest here. Captain America would have as much a chance against a highly powerful telekinetic warrior as Sabertooth did when he got wupped by Jean Grey, a very powerful telekinetic as well (though she is also a telepath, she did not use mental assaults on Saber: just mind over matter). Though Captain's vibranium shield might be durable enough to withstand Ingram's telekinetic attacks, and may prove durable enough to slice through any telekinetic shield Ingram can make, I think he'll take Cap out before he could utilize his shield.

EDGE: Ingram

2. Batman vs Sabertooth

A very interesting matchup. Batman will be hard pressed to defeat sabertooth: saber is freakishly strong, tough, fast, agile, heals fast, and in some cases has an adamantium laced skeleton, which, altough weakens his healing factor, strengthens his resistance to injury. Lets not forget his heighteed senses, which could hinder Batman's stealth capabilities. Yes, Killer Croc is also strong and heals fast, and Batman has beaten him numerous times, Sabertooth would be faster and more agile, and far more bloodthirsy than him. Still, Batman has defeated far more powerful opponents (some of the Clayfaces he has beaten were very, very powerful, potentially making Sabertooth a snack. Orca is a powerhouse Batman has defeated. Lets not forget the werewolves (Like Anthony Romulus) and the giant Man-Bats that Batman has beaten).

Edge: Batman (but not by much. He will not be up to par after a fight with Sabertooth, and will prove of less than adequate help in the final clashes of this battle)

3. Animal Man vs Killer Croc:

No contest. Animal man has only to make himself as strong as a T Rex or shoot lightning from his face like the alien animal he can mimic, and Croc will be a special Cajun Dish, buck 95.

Edge: ANIMAL MAN!

4. Blackhand vs Deadpool

Correct me if Im wrong, but I think that Deadpool can teleport. If so, Blackhand could be in trouble. But nevertheless Blackhand can summon powers on par with the power rings: Deadpool cant joke his way around them.

Edge: Blackhand

Ultimate edge:BEASTMAN14

Beastman's team includes a powerful telekinetic and a guy with power on par with the power rings (Green Lantern...?). Drayco's team is all Melee fighters. Even if Ingram was the last of Beastie boy's team standing, he could have a good chance of victory. If Jean Grey fought Batman and Animal Man at the same time, and she used only her telekinetic abilities, she would clean house with them.

Beastman14 will mop the floor with Drayco's heroes!
