The Avengers, the Earth's mightiest heroes who faced Loki and his alien Invasion

VS

The elite force of Time Space Administration Bureau who fought to keep highly dangerous magical artifacts out of the wrong hands.

=The Avengers= The Avengers were the brainchild of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nicholas Fury, who envisioned a team that might work together as a response team in the event that a threat would prove so powerful that no single hero could face it alone. The catalysts for this plan were the appearances of beings with personal levels of power that vastly exceeded conventional military capabilities. He named his plan the "Avenger Initiative".

The Avengers formed gradually through circumstance and reactive planning. Fury initially considered Tony Stark for a role on the team, but discarded this idea due to Stark's unpredictable nature. Eventually the plan was scrapped altogether and Fury refocused his attention on military assets in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. instead. However, circumstances proved to be the guiding force that brought the disparate membership of the team together when Loki made a surprise appearance at a S.H.I.E.L.D. research facility, killed a number of soldiers, and escaped with Agent Barton and Professor Selvig under his control, taking the Tesseract with him.

The threat posed by the Tesseract in the hands of Loki forced Fury to reprise his earlier idea and activate a group of people with incredible capabilities. Fury called the time-displaced World War II hero, Captain America back into service, while Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner were brought in for their scientific expertise. When Loki made a public appearance, Stark (with his Iron Man armor) and Captain America rushed to intercept, accompanied by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Natasha Romanoff, the "Black Widow". The three of them confronted and captured the Asgardian, although in the effort to bring him into custody they were in turn confronted by Loki's adoptive brother, Thor. This resulted in an altercation when Thor extracted Loki, but once the men had wasted time and effort in a fruitless clash of egos, they resumed the trip together.

Once on board the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, the clashes continued, to some extent as a result of Loki's goading. Even though their agendas were largely aligned, their egos and the growing unease surrounding Fury's actions had the group in a frequent state of tension. This persisted until Loki sprang his trap and used a surprise attack from Clinton Barton, still under control, to trigger a new round of falling out within the ranks. The attack left parts of the Helicarrier in ruin, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson dead by Loki's hand before Loki himself fled. His killing of Coulson, proved to be his undoing however, because Director Fury used the incident to motivate the remaining people into action. Captain America and Iron Man wanted justice for Coulson; Barton, who had been pulled from Loki's control, simply wanted to put him down; and Romanoff had her own debts to settle. After chasing Loki to New York City they were soon joined by Thor and Banner, both of whom had fallen from the carrier in the attack. Finally, together as a team, the group calling themselves the Avengers assembled to fight off a threat that was larger than any one of them alone.

The hunt for Loki became a battle for New York when Loki opened a dimensional rift above the city to a waiting Chitauri invasion forced stationed on the other side. The Chitauri attacked without hesitation, pouring through in a vast horde of ground troops with air support. The Avengers stood fast against the assault, at first confronting the attacking warriors, and then shifting focus to other prominent target objectives. Not only was there Loki and his alien army to contend with, there were also the Chitauri's leviathans, colossal flying beasts that were as much agents of destruction as they were a mode of transportation. The Avengers were split even further on more fronts dealing with the rift and the technology holding it open, not to mention a nuclear warhead that that had also been deployed to the area at the behest of Earth's governments. They ultimately triumphed when Iron Man redirected the missile through the portal and into the ranks of even more invaders waiting beyond.

In the aftermath of the fight, the Avengers gathered for the departure of Thor, and his now-captive brother, back to Asgard where Loki and the Tesseract would be safely removed from humanity. When the Asgardians had gone, the remainder of the team said their good byes and went their separate ways as well. Fury, musing on their dissolution, observed that some day the Avengers might again reassemble. There may come a time when they would need to.

"The Powerhouse": The Incredible Hulk
The Hulk is a fictional character, a superhero in the Marvel Comics Universe. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962). The Hulk is cast as the emotional and impulsive alter ego of the withdrawn and reserved physicist Dr. Bruce Banner. The Hulk appears shortly after Banner is accidentally exposed to the blast of a test detonation of a gamma bomb he invented. Subsequently, Banner will involuntarily transform into the Hulk, depicted as a giant, raging, humanoid monster, leading to extreme complications in Banner's life. Lee said the Hulk's creation was inspired by a combination of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein. Although the Hulk's coloration has varied throughout the character's publication history, the most consistent shade is green. As the Hulk, Banner is capable of significant feats of strength, which increases in direct proportion to the character's anger. As the character himself puts it, "The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets!" Strong emotions such as anger, terror and grief are also triggers for forcing Banner's transformation into the Hulk. A common storyline is the pursuit of both Banner and the Hulk by the U.S. armed forces, because of all the destruction that he causes. The character has since been depicted in various other media, most notably by Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk in the live action television series, five made-for-television movies, and an animated series; through the use of CGI in Hulk (2003) and The Incredible Hulk (2008), as well as in three animated series and various video games. The Hulk appeared in the 2012 film The Avengers.

Abilities
The Hulk has greater endurance and durability than anyone else in the Marvel cinematic universe, as well as ultra-human strength. Hulk is capable of picking up objects such as cars and using them as both melee weapons and thrown projectiles. He is also capable of jumping several stories into the air and climbing skyscrapers. The most dangerous ability of the Hulk, however, is the ability to increase in strength proportional to the level of anger.

The Heavy Artillery: Iron Man
Tony Stark was a selfish, womanizing, billionaire inventor and the CEO of Stark Industries, a weapons manufacturing company that he inherited from his father, Howard. Stark, guided by his father's friend Obidiah Stane, became a national super star with the best weaponry on the market, but when he went to the middle east to demonstrate his new Jericho Missile System, his convoy was attacked by a terrorist group known as the Ten Rings. Trapped in a dingy cave, Tony was forced by the terrorists to build their own Jericho, but a fellow prisoner named Yensin helped him construct a special suit of armor from the scraps, the Mark 1 Iron Man armor, which he used to escape the Ten Rings. On his way out, Yensin sacrificed himself to allow Stark to return home, an act that deeply affected the mind of the inventor-genius.

Returning home, Stark began to perfect his disguise, and shut down any and all weapons manufacturing within Stark Industries. Disgruntled by his decision, Stane recovered the Mark 1 suit and built his own from the example, becoming the Iron Monger. He revealed that he was the one responsible for the terrorists getting Stark, but he was killed in his battle with Iron Man. Shortly afterwards, Iron Man was contacted by Nick Fury about the Avenger's Initiative. After an attack by the soviet villain Whiplash, and his best friend taking up the mantle of War Machine, Stark would join with The Avengers to battle Loki and his Chitauri army.

Weapons/Abilities
Iron Man's suit is heavily armored, capable of surviving impacts from most military hardware, and even attacks from powerful adversaries such as Loki and his Chitauri Army. The suit is even durable enough to survive attacks from the opponents such as Thor or the Hulk. Iron Man's suit is also equipped with thrusters that allow him to fly at supersonic speeds with far greater maneuverability than a fighter jet. Iron Man's suit is armed with a variety of weapons, including various small arms, as well as missile launchers hidden in the wrist and in several other locations. These missiles impact with enough force to destroy a main battle tank, and can be fired in large barrages. The suit also has a type of directed energy weapon called a Repulsor Beam mounted in the palm of the hand. Most lethally, the arc reactor in his chest is equipped with a powerful directed energy weapon, called the Unibeam, capable of causing devastating damage.

"The Hammer": Thor
The young Thor was raised alongside Loki, who had been adopted by Odin after Loki's father, the Frost Giant Laufey, had been killed in battle. From childhood Loki was jealous of Thor, and his hatred of Thor grew over the years to a wish to destroy him. Thus began Loki's enmity for Thor, which persists to this day. At one point, Adolf Hitler succeeded in contacting Thor and deceived him into aiding the cause of the Germans, the descendants of the people who had once worshiped him, in the current war. Thor therefore clashed with the Invaders and nearly killed the second Union Jack with a blast of lightning from his enchanted hammer. Learning that Hitler was evil, Thor vowed to aid him no more, and withdrew most of the electricity in Union Jack's body back into his hammer, somehow restoring him to health in the process. The second Union Jack now possessed the superhuman power to discharge electrical bolts from his body. Odin decided that it was time Thor learned humility. Odin had Thor surrender his hammer to him, and then sent him to Earth in the mortal guise of a crippled young medical student named Donald Blake, stripped of his memory (again) of his true identity. As Blake, Thor learned the value of humble perseverance in dealing with his injured leg, and he came to care for the sick and dying, first as a medical student, and later as a successful physician. After leaving medical school, Blake opened a private practice in New York, and quickly gained renown as a great surgeon. After Thor had spent ten years in the role of Blake, Odin planted within Blake's mind the suggestion to take a vacation in Norway. There Blake encountered a party of alien Kronans, also known as the Stone Men from Saturn. Blake fled from the Kronans into a cavern, the very same one that had served as Thor's birthplace millennia ago, where Odin had left Thor's hammer in the enchanted form of a wooden cane. Trapped in the cavern by a great boulder, Blake struck the boulder with the cane in frustrated anger, and was transformed back into his true godly form of Thor. As Thor he escaped the cavern and drove off the Kronans. At first Thor still had no memory of his past life as an Asgardian god, although as months passed, more of his memories returned. Finally, a few years later, Odin revealed to him the false nature of the Blake identity and the reason for it.(From Marvel Database)

Weapons/Abilities
As an Asgardian god, Thor possesses superhuman strength, speed, and durability. His most powerful abilities, however, are granted by his hammer, Mjolnir. In addition to being lethal in close combat, the hammer gives him the ability to control the weather, allowing him to summon lighting and even tornadoes to attack his enemies. In addition, Thor is able to spin the hammer at high enough speeds for it to act like a helicopter blade, allowing flight.

"The Shield": Captain America
Captain Steven "Steve" Rogers was the only successful test subject of the Super Soldier Serum developed by Abraham Erskine during the Second World War. He was given the title of Captain America and fought against the Nazis, specifically HYDRA. Rogers was frozen for nearly seventy years and awoke in the twenty-first century, where he joined the Avengers as their team leader.

Weapons/Abilities
Captain America possesses superhuman strength and speed, but not to the level of some of his teammates. He is also a highly accomplished tactician and a skilled marksman, for the purpose of this match, he will have several firearms, including a Noveske Rifle Works N4, a Thompson Submachine Gun, an M1 Garand, an M1911, and M67 Grenades available to him. Captain America's most powerful weapon, however, is his practically indestructible Vibranium shield, which can deflect bullets and even energy weapons, and can also be thrown as a projectile.

The Marksman: Hawkeye
Hawkeye (Clint Barton), also known as Goliath and Ronin, is a fictional character that appears in the comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Tales of Suspense #57 (Sept. 1964) and was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck. Hawkeye joined the Avengers in Avengers Vol. 1 #16 (May. 1965) and has been a prominent member of the team ever since. The mantle has been taken up both by a member of the Young Avengers during and after the Civil War, and by Bullseye as part of Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers. Hawkeye also made an appearance in the 2012 film version of The Avengers, fighting against Loki's Chitauri Army alongside the rest of the Avengers.

Weapons/Abilities
Hawkeye is an exceedingly skilled archer, being capable of scoring trick shots like firing an arrow down a gun barrel or hitting a moving Chitauri aircraft. Hawkeye also has a number of specialized arrows such as explosive arrows and electrified arrows.

"The Gunslinger:" Black Widow
Natasha Romanoff, also known as the Black Widow, is a former Russian spy and a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., the international counterintelligence agency. Even in her short career at S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Romanoff has turned covert espionage into an art form. Armed with an extensive complement of "widow stings" and cluster bombs, as well as a vast repertoire of martial arts and wushu training, Romanoff's skill-set seems to know no bounds.

Natasha was born in Russia and went on to become a world-class spy. She reportedly began training towards the life of an assassin when she was just a child, and her ruthless effectiveness in later years earned her the codename, "Black Widow". At some point this life underwent a dramatic change when she was targeted for assassination herself, and the agent sent to kill her was the similarly gifted soldier, Clinton Barton. Instead of killing her, Barton spared her life and the pair developed a lasting partnership from that moment on. Following Barton, the Black Widow was drawn into a new life as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Weapons/Abilities
Black Widow has no real super powers, but she is a highly trained spy and assassin, being skilled in unarmed and melee combat, firearms, and explosives. For the purposes of this match, she will have a combat knife, a Heckler & Koch USP compact, and a Glock 26, and a variety of explosive devices.

=Mobile Section Six= Lost Property Riot Force 6 (古代遺物管理部機動六課 Kodai Ibutsu Kanribu Kidō Rokka, lit. "Antiquities Administration Department Mobile Section 6"),[1] commonly shortened to simply Riot Force 6 (機動六課 Kidō Rokka, also "Mobile Section 6"), is the subdivision of the Time-Space Administration Bureau that Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS focuses on.

The main goal of Riot Force 6 is to train the Forwards, and at the same time, stop Jail Scaglietti from obtaining all the Relics. Riot Force 6 has faced heavy criticism from other branches of the TSAB because of the fact that their captain is Hayate Yagami, owner of the Book of Darkness, and a former criminal. Riot Force 6 is also criticized because they have Hayate, Nanoha, and Fate on their team, and normally such powerful mages would not be put in a single section to spare the time-space continuum the enormous strain created by their magical activity. To address the latter problem, Hayate, Nanoha, Fate, Signum, and Vita all had powerful limiters placed upon them until the very last stages of the JS Incident.

While formally part of TSAB Ground Forces, the Riot Force 6 reported back directly to the TSAB Headquarters, raising the suspicion of the Ground Forces's commander Regius Gaiz even further.

At the end of StrikerS, Riot Force 6 was disbanded because with Jail Scaglietti defeated, there was no reason for its continued existence.

'''Notice: Characters are listed based on their "role", rather than rank. Mainly as Hayate Yagami's powers somewhat outclass Captain America's. Also, due to a greater number of characters than the Avengers, not all of Mobile Section Six will appear in this match'''

"The Powerhouse": Hayate Yagami
Hayate Yagami seemed to be normal girl living in Uminari Japan, who was confined to wheelchair due to a debilitating illness. Yagami, however, was suffering from a curse from an old book on her bookshelf, really an alien magical artifact (magic is actually an alien technology) called the "Book of Darkness". Yagami is later freed from the grip of the "Book of Darkness" by Nanoha Takamachi, becomes a powerful magic user, and becomes part of a sort of alien-magical interdimensional military called the Time Space Administration Bureau. Hayate's magic is extremely powerful, being most useful for bombarding an area, with her attacks causing damage rivaling carpet bombing raids and even tactical nuclear weapons.

Abilities
Hayate's magic powers are extremely powerful, inheriting many of the abilities from The Book of Darkness. She has the highest mana output of any mage in the series, and often has a limiter active to prevent her from inadvertently damaging the space-time continuum. Hayate excels at using powerful, long-range "bombardment spells", some, such as "Ragnarok" hitting with the force of a nuclear weapon. She is also capable of cryokinesis, both directly freezing enemies in blocks of ice, and by summoning entire icebergs hundreds of meters in height and dropping them on enemies. While powerful, Hayate's spells have long cast times, making her a poor close-range combatants. This may be less of an issue, however as Hayate is capable of supersonic flight. Finally, like the "Will" of the Book of Darkness, Hayate is able to mimic an enemy magic attack.

"The Heavy Artillery": Nanoha Takamachi
Originally a minor character (protagonist's younger sister) of in an esoteric Japanese dating sim, Triangle Heart. Nanoha Takamachi saw her main debut when her creators decided to (as other visual novel creators have) turn Nanoha into a "magical girl" in a spinoff series. However, this spinoff series become more popular than the original. In the spinoff series. Nanoha was girl in the city of Uminari, Japan, until, at eight years of age, Nanoha finds a magical artifact, an "intelligent device" known as "Raising Heart" which takes the form of a red jewel in a necklace capable of transforming into a staff capable of firing devastating energy attacks. Raising Heart reveals to her that "magic" is actually an alien technology, and that she is one of the few humans capable of using it. She later encounters another magic user, a humanoid alien named Fate Testarossa (it is implied they by the time Nanoha reaches adulthood they are more than friends, and they are widely viewed to be lovers by the fanbase). Nanoha and Fate are initially hostile, until Nanoha defeats fate and the two subsequently become close friends. A subsequent series describe Nanoha's battle free a girl named Hayate Yagami from the grip of an evil artifact known as "The Book of Darkness". A third anime season features a 19-year old Nanoha as part of a magical military organization known as the Time-Space Administration Bureau. Nanoha has spawned a couple internet memes, her fan nickname of "The White Devil" for her costume appearance that is similarly colored to that of a mecha from the Gundam series. The fact that Nanoha's enemies end up becoming her friends has led to the meme of "Your going to get befriended!", in this case, "befriend" meaning to blast with powerful energy attacks.

Abilities
Nanoha possess a powerful magical device named "Raising Heart", which takes the form of a staff when used in combat. The weapon has the power fire a number powerful energy attacks, most notable being the Axel Shooter, which fires off several guided energy balls, each impacting with at least the force of an RPG, the "Divine Buster", a powerful beam attack which hits with the force of a large bomb, and the "Starlight Breaker", a massively powerful beam of energy impacting with the force of a small nuclear weapon. Nanoha is also capable of creating magical shields, which can efficiently protect from magical attacks, but are apparently less effective against "mass-based weapons" (missiles, bullets etc). That said, Nanoha is such a powerful mage that most likely nothing less than heavy firepower would be able to pierce her shield. Nanoha is also able fly at supersonic speeds.

A full list of Nanoha's abilities is available here

"The Hammer": Vita
Vita (ヴィータ Vīta) is a character in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's, voiced by Asami Sanada. She appears in neither the previous series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha nor the later story Triangle Heart, but she does appear in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Vita is one of the Wolkenritter, a creation of the Book of Darkness. She is the most devoted of the four to Hayate Yagami, their mistress. Vita's weapon is a mallet called Graf Eisen, and as a magical creation, she has no familiar. Vita appears to be a child, but is actually as old as The Book of Darkness itself, perhaps thousands of years old.

Weapons/Abilities
Vita's device, Graf Eisen, takes the form of a long-handled hammer. Vita uses Eisen mostly as a melee weapon, striking at foes with superhuman strength. In addition, Graf Eisen can increase the force of impact, both by sprouting a rocket motor in the back and sending Vita into a devastating rocket-powered hammer tornado. In addition, the hammer can extend its handle and grow its head to comically large proportions, the head being several times larger than Vita is tall, though thanks to her superhuman strength and the hammer's magical properties, she can still wield it. At its most ridiculously powerful, Vita can combine the variable size and rocket boost of the hammer to devastating effect. She can also summon explosive metal balls, which she can launch by striking them with the hammer. These balls may have a heat-seeking ability. Like many other TSAB mages, Vita is able to fly at high, likely supersonic speeds and put up powerful magic shields.

"The Iron Fist:" Subaru Nakajima
Subaru Nakajima (スバル・ナカジマ Subaru Nakajima) is a character in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, voiced by Chiwa Saito. She's completely original to the series, not appearing in any of the previous series in the franchise. Subaru has a deep-rooted admiration of Nanoha Takamachi, aspiring to be just like her. Subaru even made her own version of Nanoha's "Divine Buster" attack.

(From Nanoha wiki)

Subaru was an orphan who was illegally converted into a combat cyborg as a child, before being rescued from the facility, and adopted by the Nakajima family. After being rescued from a fire by Nanoha Takamachi as child, she resolved to join the TSAB to be like her savior and idol, joining the Mobile Section Six as a melee combat expert.

Abilities
Nakajima's magical device, "Mach Caliber" is a combined set of magically powered rollerblades and metal knuckles. The rollerblade component allows her to move at extremely high speeds along the ground, as well as create a glowing "road of energy" in midair at will, allowing her to achieve a form of flight of sorts, but much more limited than that of Nanoha or Hayate. Offensively, Subaru can punch through a concrete wall, and even fire ranged magic attacks from her metal knuckles. Mach Caliber can also create a magic shield around Subaru.

"The Marksman": Vice Granscenic
Vice Granscenic (ヴァイス・グランセニック Vaisu Guransenikku) first appears in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. He is a helicopter pilot for the Riot Force 6 and a former elite sniper. During the series, he develops a firm friendship with a fellow sharpshooter Teana Lanster, which apparently continues after the events of StrikerS. Vice's Device is named Storm Raider, and is similar in appearance to an SVD Dragunov sniper rifle.

Before joining Riot Force 6 as a helicopter pilot, Vice was a Ground Forces sniper and a subordinate of Signum. However, in a hostage-taking incident some time before StrikerS, Vice accidentally shot a hostage in the eye while targeting a criminal. His guilt was worsened by the fact that the hostage was his own little sister, Laguna Granscenic, and eventually led him to give up the sniper career.

Weapons/Abilities
Vice's weapon is a magical device that resembles a Dragunov Sniper Rifle, and functions as a sniper rifle. Vice is capable of using the weapon to fire magic bullets with great accuracy from long ranges. He is not capable of flight (hence the need to fly a helicopter) and he will not have access to his helicopter in this match.

"The Gunslinger:" Teana Lanster
Teana Lanster (ティアナ・ランスター Tiana Ransutā) is a character in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Along with Subaru Nakajima, Teana is the leader of the forwards. She is a young mage skilled in long range magic, armed with a magical device named "Cross Mirage", which can take the form of one or two handguns, or two energy daggers. Teana is initially somewhat insecure and desperate to prove herself as a mage so that she can show that her family's style of magic is worthwhile, especially in comparison to the powerful members of Riot Force Six. She is often fairly blunt and has difficulty opening up to others, but is close to the friends she has. Around her best friend, Subaru, Teana is typically somewhat irritable, and disliked her before learning more about her. She holds Subaru in high regard and is grateful that she is her friend, but because Subaru would find it strange for her to openly admit it, she does not tell her.

Weapons/Abilities
Teana's magic device, Cross Mirage can split itself into two handguns, capable of firing both standard energy "bullets", as well as magic-shield piercing shots, heavy "bombardment attacks", including Nanoha's "Starlight Breaker" (though not as powerful as Nanoha's version). Teana can also turn Cross Mirage into a pair of daggers, as well as perform various forms of illusion magic capable of creating decoys, and create magic shields. Teana is NOT, however, able to fly. =X-Factors=
