Marvel Earth and DC Earth must each choose one champion to represent them in a standard Khazan duel. Neither side gets to know in advance whom the other side has picked. The identities of the two champions will not be known until they are both teleported into the arena.

Which superhero should each side choose? Only Earth-based heroes are eligible (let's say the Inhumans are included in this too).

What if instead the Earths had to choose a super-villain champion?

To make things a tiny bit more fair for Marvel Earth, lets say each champion gets a few seconds prep time before teleporting into the arena, so that they can put up their defenses if they have any.

Why would things be needed to be made more even for Marvel???

They Have Sentry, Thor, Molecule Man, Quasar, and Nova Prime who all hail from Earth.

Just because DC has the Big Seven JLAers on thier side people forget that Marvel has just as many heavy hitters and if you include Cosmics its no contest Marvel has more powerful characters than DC.

Super villain champion is Doom. No doubt.

obadiah horn · 07-12-2009, 07:58 PM

Over Dormammu , Nefaria, Loki, Mephisto, Anti Man, Korvac, Proteus ect... Sure Doom's smart and a great sorcerer but on the pure power scale he's mid tier at best.

Marvel Earth excludes alot of those guys though. But i see you point.

I feel the need to point out that out of the four villains that I know among those you listed, three of them aren't based on Earth.

If we were talking a duel happening in the comics, I'd agree with you, but in the Rumbles forum the DC speed-blitz is a pretty serious advantage.

Also, by specifying Earth I'd hoped to exclude the Cosmics. Is Molecule Man still alive? Last I knew of him he had merged with the Beyonder to form a cosmic cube...?

Siriel · 07-12-2009, 08:04 PM

Please don't mention speedblitz when talking about DC villain. It makes me think of Zolomon.

OK well who in DC is Blitzing Sentry??? pretty sure you are right about Molecule Man he's dead just like Martina Manhunter one of DC's few heavy hitters. As for some of the people I listed not being based on earth? So does that mean for DC we arent counting Superman and GL?

Superman is based on Earth. I'm pretty sure there's still a GL there too, but I don't follow that, so I wouldn't know.

Mephisto operates from his own realm. So does Dormammu.

As for who's blitzing Sentry? Flash. Superman. Such people. It's just that they can't drop him fast enough.

So Superman's no longer on New Krypton( serious question since I don't follow Supes' titles) And GL's are responsible for quadrants and Earth just happens to be in one. Yeah they have their own realms but are almost exclusively shown interacting with the Earth Realm (as in they have very little to no play in cosmic titles). But again I don't really have a problem with them not being included.

Oh and if they can't drop him then its not really a blitz then is it ( in the connotation we use here) I mean Spiderman is greatly faster than Colossus but he's not said to be able to blitz him since he's not strong enough to really effect him.

Beats me, I generally gave up on DC a while ago.

But while they take care of quadrants, when one of them live on Earth and only goes out when there's a major problem, I usually consider that 'based on Earth'.

Marvel is probably going to pick Sentry or Thor. They have others certainly, but both of them are heavy hitters and extremely versitile. But they may pick an off the wall choice like Reed with [incert plot device]. Without MM, DC should pick Flash or the Atom. Also for their versitility. But they'll probably pick Superman because they usually do when put in this situation.

As for villains Marvel will pick Doom. Okay, they might not, and probably shouldn't...but they will. Such is the Will of Doom. I think Zoom is depowered at the moment, so DC's obvious choice is down. The Cyborg Superman is a nice alternative though. An insane power output, and since Marvel WILL pick Doom it's nice to have someone that can screw up his armor..

Yes, they depowered Zolomon.:rolleyes:

No, I'm still not over it.

Anyway, Cyborg Superman hasn't been based on Earth since the Sinestro Corps thing, IIRC. Unless he came back recently.
