Greatest Marvel Character Ever!

[SpideyFan914]

It's time! After Greatest Superhero, Greatest Supervillain, and Greatest DC Character, now we shall have -

GREATEST MARVEL CHARACTER EVER!

Spider-Man wins.
But it'll be fun anyway! I think we all know the rules by now - there will be matches of four, rank them in your own personal order, the top two move on. The point system will be my usual (4 for 1st, 3 for 2nd, etc.). Six rounds, each one halving the number of contestants. In the first two, I'll have two simultaneous matches per day. When we've found our four finalists, it'll be onto the Finals, where we'll rank them 1-4.

[SpideyFan914]

ROUND ONE, MATCH ONE

Contestants are....

Polaris

Dagger

Mr. Fantastic

Mysterio (Quentin Beck)


ROUND ONE, MATCH TWO

Contestants are....

Ka-Zar

Slapstick

Fin Fang Foom (Nextwave)

Dirk Anger


Again, that's:

Match One
Polaris
Dagger
Mr. Fantastic
Mysterio (Quentin Beck)

Match Two
Ka-Zar
Slapstick
Fin Fang Foom (Nextwave)
Dirk Anger


My vote:
1. Polaris (I love the original run on the X-Men.)
2. Mysterio (Fun Spidey villain.)
3. Mr. Fantastic (He's okay, but I prefer the Beast as far as nerdy scientists go....)
4. Dagger (Outclassed.)

Saving my vote on the second one. I don't really know most of them, but I throw my support to Ka-Zar.

 

[Bloody Marquis]

Fantastic
Dagger
Mysterio
Polaris

Fin Fang Foom
Dirk Anger (Essentially Nick Fury with suicidal, homicidal, and freudian tendencies. The reason he was even created was because Marvel wouldn't let Ellis use Nick Fury for Nextwave.)
Ka-Zar
Slapstick

 

[cradleman]

1. Mr. Fantastic: I'm a science nerd, so he gets the vote
2. Mysterio: oh, man, I love him.
3. Dagger: Cool, though i must say that Cloak > Dagger
4. Polaris: Never cared for her, though i did like her in Wolverine and the X-Men.

only voting on the second because i don't want Ka-Zar gone yet.

1. Ka-Zar: i think he's cool
2. Fin Fang Foom: the normal version is awesome, so I'm assuming the Nextwave version is too.
3. Dirk Anger: Like the name
4. Slapstick: yeah, i don't know him.

 

[HEATXZ]

Match 1
Mysterio
Mr. Fantastic
Dagger
Polaris

Match 2
Slapstick
Fin Fang Foom (Nextwave)
Dirk Anger
Ka Zar

 

[jph139]

Match 1!

1. Mr. Fantastic ~ Such a cool character; a family man and a brilliant scientist, balancing his heroics with his oft-questionable experiments. One of my favorite pictures ever is THIS one; classic, all around.
2. Mysterio ~ One of the most fun Spidey villains, I think.
3. Dagger ~ Cloak and Dagger - a fun team.
4. Polaris ~ Not familiar with her.

Match 2!

1. Fin Fang Foom ~ He's a giant alien dragon. That fights Iron Man for some reason.
2. Slapstick ~ HI-larious!
3. Dirk Anger ~ Looks like an... interesting guy.
4. Ka-Zar ~ Also not familiar with him.

 

[The Cartoon]

I would have nominated some but by the time I got to the thread, I didn't know many Marvel characters who hadn't already been nominated.

1. Mysterio (My favorite Spidey villain as I've said before)
2. Mr. Fantastic
3. Polaris
4. Dagger

1. Fin Fang Foom
2. Ka-Zar
3. Slapstick
4. Dick Anger

 

[JAG]

Mr. Fantastic: No contest. Leader of the Fantastic Four and one of the comic world's greatest nerds.
Mysterio: I think I had a bowl of MysteriOs for breakfast this morning...
Polaris: A classic X-Man, but I don't really know her.
Dagger: I know she was in Ultimate Alliance II, but I don't know her at all.

 

[Gold Guy]

Match 1!

1. Polaris ~ Not familiar with her.

You have got to watch Wolverine and the X-Men! She kicks butt there.


Polaris
Cloak
Mysterio
Fantastic

Pass

 

[SpideyFan914]

You have got to watch Wolverine and the X-Men! She kicks butt there.


Polaris
Cloak
Mysterio
Fantastic

Pass

Cloak's not competing - Dagger is. I'll let you change your vote if that changes your mind (though in all honesty it probably doesn't make a difference). Or else, I'm counting it as Dagger.

 

[SpideyFan914]

I'm gonna vote on the second match after all. Or else, it would be a tie!

1. Ka-Zar (Tiebreaker! )
2. FFF (Moving on anyway.)
3. Slapstick (Better luck next time.)
4. Dirk Anger (Buh-bye!)


Match One
Polaris- 16
Dagger- 15
Mr. Fantastic- 25
Mysterio (Quentin Beck)- 24

Reed and Beck move on.


Match Two
Ka-Zar- 15
Slapstick- 13
Fin Fang Foom (Nextwave)- 21
Dirk Anger- 11

FFF and Ka-Zar move on.


ROUND ONE, MATCH THREE

Contestants are....

Moira Mactaggert

Beast

Professor X

Kang the Conqueror


ROUND ONE, MATCH FOUR

Contestants are....

Morlun

X-Man (Nate Grey)

The Skrulls

Blob


Again, that's:

Match Three
Moira Mactaggert
Beast
Professor X
Kang the Conqueror

Match Four
Morlun
X-Man (Nate Grey)
The Skrulls
Blob


My vote:
1. Beast (Original X-Man! It would be a shame for him to lose in Round One, and he may need the help.)
2. Professor X (No, duh!)
3. Moira Mactaggert (What can I say - I'm an X-Fan!)
4. Kang the Conqueror (Don't really know him that well, and he may be a threat to Beast....)

1. Nate Grey (If I understood his origin correctly, he's the man who would be Cable from an alternate timeline.... Interesting.... In any case, I loved his appearances in Amazing Spider-Man.)
2. The Skrulls (Tough choice between them and Morlun, but.... I've got a soft spot for the little cheesy green guys....)
3. Morlun (He's really cool, but that's about it.)
4. Blob (Never was much of a fan....)

 

[cradleman]

this first match is hard. I like 3 of these characters alot

1. Beast: Science Nerd! With Superpowers! yeah, he's got my vote
2. Prof X: can be dry at time, but a genuine icon
3. Kang: He's cool, but as the only thing i really know him from is the Time's Arrow novel trilogy, he takes 3rd spot.
4. Moira: cool, but not as cool as the others

1. Blob: love the fat guy.
2. X-Man: yeah, you've somewhat sorta got it spidey. it's confusing for sure. but i do know he's frikken cool
3. Morlun: still need to read those issues of ASM. Although, i read a novel with his family that was darn awesome, and it explained the story pretty well. definitely has cool powers.
4. Skrulls: hate those little green men. darn annoying.

 

[jph139]

Match 3!

1. Professor X ~ He and Magneto... perhaps the best pair in comic book history.
2. Kang the Conquerer ~ Classic Avengers baddie.
3. Beast ~ I'm a fan; wouldn't mind seeing him go on.
4. Moira Mactaggert ~ I kinda know her. Sorta.

Match 4!

1. Skrulls ~ Marvel aliens are pretty awesome, overall.
2. Nate Grey ~ Seems... interesting, I guess.
3. Blob ~ Eh.
4. Morlun ~ Not really a fan.

 

[JAG]

Beast: One of my favorite X-Men.
Prof. X: Prof. X.
Skrulls: Don't really know them.
Kang: Don't really care.

Morlun
Blob
Moira
X-Man

 

[HEATXZ]

Kang: Don't really care.

Morlun
Blob
Moira
X-Man

....
Heheh.... You, uh, mixed and matched the rounds a bit.... Skrulls are in the second match, Moira in the first. Since you put both in 3rd, I'm just gonna count it as such, but if you wanna change anything and that affects the outcome, I'll let you get away with it.

 

[SpideyFan914]

Match Three
Moira Mactaggert- 7
Beast- 22
Professor X- 17
Kang the Conqueror- 13

Beast and Wheels move on.

Morlun- 10

X-Man and Skrulls move on.


ROUND ONE, MATCH THREE

Contestants are....

Angel/Archangel

Klara (Runaways)


Again, that's:

Match Five
Angel/Archangel
Betty Ross
Major Victory
Mastermind

Match Six
NFL Superpro
Norman Osborn
Ben Reilly
Klara (Runaways)


My vote:
1. Guardian Angel (I love the original X-Men - Angel is, believe it or not, one of my favorite X-Men. In fact, he is my favorite of the original team! It's unfortunate that he usually only plays minor roles nowadays....)
2. Mastermind (I used to only consider him "okay." Then I found out about his role in the Hellfire Club. Now I love the guy.)
3. Major Victory (Don't know him, but he looks cool.)
4. Betty Ross (Eh.... As far as superloves go, she's never been my favorite....)

1. Norman Osborn ("This is why only fools choose to be heroes. Because you never know when some maniac's gonna come along with the sadistic choice. Let die the woman you love, or suffer the little children. We are who we choose to be. Now choose!")
2. Ben Reilly (Well, my name is SpideyFan914, so....)
3. Klara (Don't know her.)
4. NFL (Huh?)
