Since Dray told me that voting is technically not over...

BG1's "My First MvDC Vote" Edge:

After reading through the powers/abilities, weapons and skills the warriors bring to the table, I am definitely (even though this might not affect the final result) going to back Black Panther on this one. For one thing he has a more intelligent and sane mind which allows him to formulate strategies faster, in a precise manner and on-the-fly; T'Challa also has equipment specifically balanced to his liking ie he has lighter armour and special goggles that will allow him to stealthily hide and sneak around Azrael and get the jump on him when he least expects it. Sure Azrael has weaponry of fire that can cause significant harm and has a longer range than any of T'Challa's weaponry (to the point that the weapons will be rendered useless/burnt to a crisp) but if T'Challa can get his blades past the armour Azrael is wearing, that's it - the Panther can just destroy the systems within the armour that control the weapons (effectively disarming him). Strength-wise and H2H-wise, Black Panther again gets the edge since he is more trained than Jean in terms of H2H styles and countermeasures - combine that with the fact that T'Challa has faced off against opponents who also possessed superhuman strength, his super-intuitive mind and his edges in agility and speed and you got yourself one deadly superhero.

PS I understand that Jean-Paul is "Azrael, the Angel of Death" but this shouldn't be unnerving for T'Challa since he himself has encountered some supernatural/celestial foes before (e.g. Merlin - otherwise where could he have gotten the Ebony Blade?)
