The Rules:

1.) This is a two sided bracket. Each side contains 64 comic characters.

2.) The left side of the bracket will be Heroes the right side of the bracket will be villains.

3.) Each bracket will be comprised of 26 Marvel characters, 26 DC characters, and 12 misc comic/novel characters.

4.) Once all of the characters have been selected, the names will be entered into a random generator and spit out 1-64. The match-ups will be set regular seed style (1 vs. 64, 2 vs. 63, etc.) Please note that the number does not represent their seed, but instead the number they drew.

5.) The voting system will be a simple check mark system. You will simply select the name of the character you think would win each match-up. I will go off of the general consensus. If there is an instance where the voting for a particular match-up is close, I will open the floor for members to make their case for who should move on. I will have the final say in such situations, but I promise to be as fair and impartial as I can.

6.) All voters are asked to put bias to the side. We must assume that these match-ups are completely random (As if it is the first time each character has encountered the other character.) Hopefully this will cut down on some of the knighting... cough Batman cough...

***So it would probably be safe to say that Batman would not be walking around with the Muramasa Sword.

***In the case where you have characters who cannot be killed by normal means (Wolverine, Deadpool, Thor) then a knockout or incapacitation will count
-Hulk Vs. Thor (whoever could knock the other one out first or incapacitate)
-Wolverine Vs. Deadpool (Same)
-These are just general examples

7.) Each character will be considered to be at their peak with no additional augmentation.

***Example: Cable w/ his technorganic virus under control, or cyclops w/ full control of his optic blast. No Nova with the Worldmind & Full Nova Force or Doom with The Beyonder's powers.

8.) No God Tier Characters

This feels like this is a much weaker elite 8 than the heroes. The hero elite 8 would probably destroy them.

Not close. Really not close.

Match #2
place #1: Magneto
place #2: Darth Vader
Vader's helmet is made of metal.

Match #3
place #1: Darkseid
place #2: Mephistto
Damn, this one is tough. Both have superhuman strength. Both are telekinetic. The Omega beam wins this one. Darkseid also has super speed.

Match #4
place #1: General Zod
place #2: Thanos
Zod goes down here.

Vader has way too much wiring keeping him alive for him to beat Magneto.

No kidding. 3/4ths of Vaders body is metal. He is also covered in metal. It's a blink of an eye for Magneto.

Unfortunately, 2 out of the 4 matches are landslides

You people should be reading up about Mephisto...

quote:

Mephisto is an immensely powerful demon. He possesses great intelligence which is how he can manipulate and deceive others easily. He has demonstrated projection of mystical energy, erecting mystical shields, becoming invisible or intangible, casting illusions, summoning supernatural creatures, teleportation, changing size, and shape-shifting. His true form is unknown. He is completely indestructible to most attacks, and is immune to disease. He doesn't need to breathe, eat, drink, or sleep. He has defeated Silver Surfer in combat before and seems to have no limit to his age. He also can possess mortals and cast spells of unknown power. He likely has other powers that have yet to be discovered. He literally can do anything that a human can comprehend and more. Mephistopheles is not the Devil, he is an arch-demon. Being a demon, he can capture lost souls but only with the mortal's approval which is one of his main weaknesses. Another weakness is that if he leaves his dimension he isn't as powerful and depends on the worship of his followers. Mephistopheles can read minds as well.

No super speed.
quote:

Mephisto is an extremely powerful immortal demonic entity possessing magical powers and abilities gained by manipulation of the forces of magic. Mephisto is capable of using his power for a variety of uses, including superhuman strength, shape and size shifting,[23] projecting illusions,[24] manipulating memories,[25] altering time,[26] and is highly resistant to injury.[27]

The character has been shown to be energized by sources of evil in the human realm, such as the alien Dire Wraiths.[7] Like other demons, Mephisto is symbiotically linked to, and considerably more powerful within, his own realm, and the character is able to transform the structure at will.[28] Within it he has threatened a galaxy, and stalemated a nourished Galactus until the latter threatened to consume his realm.[29] If Mephisto's physical form is destroyed, the character will regenerate and reform in his domain.[30]

Mephisto is known for acquiring souls, but cannot subjugate the will of another being without the victim's permission. This is usually some form of pact.
quote:

Darkseid is among the most powerful of the New Gods. His main power, the Omega Beam, is a form of energy that he fires from his eyes as either a concussive force or disintegrating energy, capable of transmuting or erasing living objects and organisms from existence as well as resurrecting them, depending on the dark lord's will. These beams stem from a cosmic energy source called the "Omega Effect". Darkseid has pinpoint control and his unerring aim allows the beam to travel in straight lines, bend, or curve around corners and can pass through matter and energy. He can teleport himself or others through time and space.[20] Darkseid can also shoot energy blasts from his hands. His Omega Sanction traps the organism in a series of alternate realities, each one worse than the previous. During the Final Crisis, Darkseid used his Omega Beams to grant power to Mary Marvel, with her powers then being based on Anti-Life rather than magic.

Darkseid is a being whose strength and invulnerability can only be challenged by the likes of Superman, Doomsday, and Orion.[21][22] He can also move with great speed, as he has been able to catch Superman off guard,[23] and he is known to be able to react in nanoseconds.[24] He also can increase his physical size.[25] Darkseid has the powers of telepathy and telekinesis and can create psionic avatars. As Darkseid is a god he is also immortal, having lived for several hundred thousand years.[26]

Despite his extraordinary physical power, Darkseid rarely engages himself personally in confrontations, as he prefers to use his superhuman intellect and genius to manipulate or control others to his ends.[26] Darkseid has displayed his godly abilities by sensing the death of his son Orion[21] and fluctuations of the energy of the "godwave".[24] Darkseid commands all the military and technological resources of Apokolips.

In Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, and Justice League: War, Darkseid has also shown the powers of flight.[27]

In the television series Smallville, he is almost omnipotent and can bring forth and manipulate the darkness within a person's heart, allowing him to turn any that are not "pure" to the path of evil.[28] He has also displayed the ability to take possession of other living beings (that have darkness in their hearts) as well as shape-shifting.

First, teleportation.

Second, what do the words:

quote:

Mean to you?

Third,

quote:

Omega Beam, is a form of energy that he fires from his eyes as either a concussive force or disintegrating energy, capable of transmuting or erasing living objects and organisms from existence as well as resurrecting them, depending on the dark lord's will.


Will have no effect on Mephisto.

Your form of him is too God like, IMO.

Darkseid is not a human.

Are you saying Mephisto is not living?

He's in isn't he? He was vetted. All bets are off now.

I didn't say he was, and that isn't the point. but "anything a human can comprehend and more," means he can travel at whatever speed he pleases.

Mephisto is not organic, no.
