Based on ArizonaTeach’s idea from [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=10003138#post10003138) The rules are simple. Pick one competitor in each match-up - the one with the higher total goes on to the next round and the losers get dumped in the dollar bin. You can base your vote on any criteria you like. You can pass on a match-up if you choose. Anyone is eligible to play in any or all rounds but you can only vote once in each round. The voting for this round will end at 11:00 pm (EST) on Saturday (I moved it up 24 hours as most of the voting seemed to be at the beginning or end anyway). The numbers are the results from Round 1.

I’ll use as my personal voting criteria: Who would win a fight between the two (with no time to prepare in advance)? My votes in bold: **Professor X** beats Batman by mindblast. **Wally West** beats the intangible Shadowcat by running in circles and creating a tornado that sucks the air out of the room. Pass on Nightcrawler vs. The Tick, because I know almost nothing about the Tick. **Wonder Woman** punches out Hawkeye after his arrows bounce harmlessly off her indestructible body. Wolverine impales Rogue, but **Rogue** grabs him and drains his healing factor to recover, and keeps draining until he passes out. **Thor** melts Plastic Man with a lightning bolt. **Green Arrow** knocks out the Question with an arrow that turns into a boxing glove. **Martian Manhunter** phases through Swamp Thing’s attacks and fries him with his Martian vision **Spider-Man** avoids all Rorschach’s attacks with his spider-like agility, then snares him in a web. **Doctor Manhattan** vaporizes Iron Man’s armor with a casual thought. Storm zaps Hal Jordan with some yellow lightning bolts. Too bad for her he’s not vulnerable to yellow anymore. **Hal Jordan** blocks her attack with a forcefield, and knocks her out with a burst of emerald energy. Mr. Fantastic tries to wrap himself around the Hulk, but the **Hulk** just keeps stretching him until he snaps in two. Daredevil’s billy club snaps against Superman’s unbreakable skin, and **Superman** sends him flying with a burst of super-breath. Barry Allen manages to dodge some of Captain Marvel’s punches with his speed (or vibrate himself right through them), but eventually **Captain Marvel** lands a blow that knocks him out cold. **Silver Surfer** flies past Dick Grayson and blasts him with the Power Cosmic. I don’t know much about Hellboy, so I’ll pass on Hellboy vs. Captain America. ---
