[Wild Card13]

Invisible Woman-How on Earth did she make it this far? Honestly, how?
Rogue-See above.
Super-Skrull-A personal favorite of mine, but he's outclassed here. He's a real powerhouse, but compared to two Olympians, a Herald of Galactus, an Asgardian, and a living Deus Ex Machina, he doesn't stand much of a chance.
Hulk-It was either him or Hercules here. I give the edge to Hercules because he's smarter than the Hulk is and is capable of strategies more complicated than "smash anything in my way".

Immunity goes to...Beta Ray Bill. He's stronger than either Ares or Hercules, and his powers are far more versatile, so he outclasses both of them. Plus, I think he stands an all right chance against Sentry or Silver Surfer (because basically, this entire thing is going to boil down to a fight between Sentry and Silver Surfer).

Immunity to Hercules... while the action is on he is downing some brews.


Beta Ray Bill admits he is a poor replication of Thor and lays down his mallet.

Invisible Woman... I'm with you Wild card...force fields and invisiblity are good tools but against some of the guys left... not a chance.

Rogue .. tries to steal the hulks powers can't contain them and pops a brain cell or two million.

Super-Skrull .. tries to flame on and stretch at the same time and turns into putty.

Ares
Hercules (Olympians might not die, but they can be beat)
Hulk
Rogue

Immunity: Invisible Woman (you folks just don't know how bad-@$$ she can be when she's pissed)

I have to agree that it should come down to Sentry Vs. Surfer, with the Void totally confusing things.

Came down to Herc, Hulk, or IW... Hulk has the most power and IW has the best defense out of the three, but it could go either way

Question: In the next contest can you put strong ones like Gladiator, Titan, Thanos, Galactus, Thor etc in it, or were they allready in previous rounds?

[mattbib]

Question: In the next contest can you put strong ones like Gladiator, Titan, Thanos, Galactus, Thor etc in it, or were they allready in previous rounds?Most of those were in the Cosmic round some time ago. We could eventually do another, similar theme.

[Blackcat]

So you have Champions and cosmic rounds?

[mattbib]

So you have Champions and cosmic rounds?No. Some of the Contest of Champions have had themes: cosmic characters, animal characters, Avengers, women, young heroes, robots, etc.

No. Some of the Contest of Champions have had themes: cosmic characters, animal characters, Avengers, women, young heroes, robots, etc.

[Robbie Baldwin]

Sorry that I don't have anything as good as last time but, here we go:

Round 6

The Clashes between these powers vaporize the atmosphere/planet they're fighting in/on. So, who can survive longest/fight best in space?

Here are the first four losers

Rogue: I know she's tough, but I don't think there's anyone left who's powers are within her range to absorb. That said, I don't think she can survive in space.

Ares: I think Olympians can survive in space, but I don't think he could hold up in a space fight with BRB, Surfer or even Super Skrull.

Hercules: Same as Ares.

Hulk: Same as Ares/Hercules.

Immunity: Invisible Woman:She can enclose alot of air in her shields, still fight in space with invisible constructs, and she's just awesome tough anyway. (But obviously even if she get through this round, she'll never get past the next.)

[mattbib]

Another hour or so of voting!

[F4 4EVER]

I just found these forums and had to join to play this game.

My picks are:

Ares
Hercules
Hulk
Super-Skrull

immunity: Invisble Woman

I think it's interesting though that people will probably have a better opinion of the powers/abilities/toughness of the characters they've read the most/longest. Like me, I haven't read much about the Olympians, so even though I know them, I don't think they're all that tough. But on the other hand, since my FF run goes back to v. 1 #250, I think The Invisble Woman is way tougher than most of you do...anyways...
