    Spider-Gwen TRUMPED with Miles Morales vs Groot

    Okay so we've got the adorable Spider-couple here in Miles and Gwen, a duo that has worked together a few times and work together pretty well. Groot is tough but is able to be taken down - and I think this duo can accomplish this. Miles is the key here - his Spider-sense will keep him from getting hit, and he probably won't even have to worry too much about that because he will use his camouflage ability to go invisible. Gwen can run interference (and probably get a few good licks in herself when needed) while Miles goes on the offensive, with Groot being unable to see him. And Miles is a powerful fighter, he's super strong and has a lethal venom blast that has been shown to take down very powerful opponents - here is a good example of him taking down Blackheart, who had just knocked out Thor, She-Hulk, and Iron Man:

    Miles' list of accomplishments in the Ultimate Universe and in the 616 universe are pretty great, taking out Venoms, knocking out Spider-Man, Ultimate Green Goblin, etc. Gwen isn't as powerful but can certainly hold her own. Teaming up they are a formidable duo who have the skills and abilities to take out Groot.

    The close quarters of an office environment are your greatest threat to victory here, IMO. Groot's ability to grow and grow and grow and occupy space, regenerate anything that comes off him, and just occupy that space with endless amounts of himself. In the great wide open? in the streets of New York? I'd like your chances more. In a confined space ... not so much

    Miles' venom blast should prevent that though, no? It effects the nervous system, shutting that all down....I assume Groot has a nervous system of some sort that should be affected, preventing a lot of what makes him tough to beat.

    I'm unaware of any blast / weapon / tech / power ever limiting Groot's ability to grow/regenerate. After all, futuility is beneath Groot. I

    'll leave it up to the judges to decide if your argument that Miles "should" be able to prevent is enough to counter him literally always being able to keep growing and regenerating.

    What I mean is he'd be unconscious from the blast....he wouldn't keep growing if he's knocked out right? Miles blast when he doesn't hold back takes out some pretty powerful foes - I mean taking out Blackheart like that - he's a demon/son of Satan with all sorts of weird magic powers and such.

    I'll go first I guess.

    Hyperion (Earth 13034)
    vs Storm TRUMPED with Nightcrawler
    I'm satisfied that Hyperion can take at least one lightning bolt fro Storm, and probably wouldn't get tagged very much by it (not because I've seen his combat speed to be so fast, but his flight speed is, and it would be difficult for her to pinpoint him). So Hyperion

    Namor vs Morg
    Probably Morg is just a bit too much for Namor, although a solid fight.

    Spider-Gwen TRUMPED with Miles Morales vs Groot
    I think I have to give it to the spiders here. Groot is stronger than either and can do a lot of cool things, but I think this trump is uniquely qualified to handle the kind of attacks Groot is capable of, and the venom thing definitely helps, if it doesn't fully incapacitate him. Trump

    Fin Fang Foom
    vs Stardust *forfeit*

    Gladiator vs Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)
    I'm going with Kamala. She's got the strength of a giant-man type with the agility/dodging/stretching of a Mr. Fantastic mixed with Spider Man, and a healing factor close to Wolverine. Gladiator suffers from performance issues, so I have no problem thinking he'll eventually waver when she doesn't go down as quick as he'd like. Marvel

    Ghost Rider (I forgot which) vs Hela
    Hoo boy that penance stare is going to do a number on her. Ghost Rider.
    Jessica Drew *forfeit* vs Sasquatch
    Dr. Voodoo *prepared* vs Avril *forfeit*

    Hm... Interesting. I didn’t expect that.

    I was reading a comic last night where Ms. Marvel got beaten by a wannabe Godzilla. All he had to do was strangle her. Gladiator is insane. He’s got the strength, the skill, the stamina and is a great tactical fighter. Hell, he was brought in as the last resort to take down Thanos and nailed him. An injured Thanos, yes, but a Thanos that had just destroyed countless powerful superheroes. He was too much for all the Guardians and X-Men combined. One stretchy gurl ain’t standing in his way.

    Blaze wins then. Hela puts the hurt on the host, AFAIK the spirit kicks in. With Hela on Earth, and not at full strength I’m going Ghost Rider

    I will agree with all but...
    Going Groot. I don't think the venom is enough to win, Blackheart feat or no. Seems to be a unique situation.
    Also, there you again bein so disrespectful to the Shiar MVP, Gladiator

    Anti-Man (Connor Sims) vs Enchantress

    Partial-herald level vs. a mind-controlling sorceress. I don't believe he has any mental or magical defenses, and should easily fall under Amora's sway.

    Quasar vs Maker (Reed Richards)(prep)

    Considering Quasar's entire body is energy, that should be well-within Maker's capabilities to figure out how to capture/dissipate in 24 hours, even without his "take something from any other Reed in any universe" power...

    Punk: "As a being of pure quantum energy," I can only go by the Marvel Wiki, as the Quasar I recall isn't the current Quasar (in terms of powerset)... I seem to recall giant green heads? :p
