Faiza was on Bobbi’s heels all the time, but ultimately she wasn’t able to catch up to her. So Bobbi wins this round!

Second Round: Faiza Hussain versus Mockingbird

In one corner we have Britan’s superheroes number one fan: Faiza Hussain! A Muslim doctor devoted to her job, Faiza was hit by a Skrull beam laser, which granted her superhuman abilities. Once the Secret Invasion was over, she became the rightful owner of Excalibur.

In the other corner we have one of the most skillful spies: Bobbi Morse aka Mockingbird! Bobbi was once a very capable S.H.I.E.L.D. agent until she decided to fight crime as a costumed heroine. She has no superhuman powers at all, but that doesn’t make her an easy opponent. She’s currently a member of the New Avengers.

There’s time to vote until Friday 2AM GMT!

Congrats to the winners from the previous match-ups! Mocky won by a wide margin and Valkyrie put up a fight at the beginning, but as expected Jean got a lot more of votes. Nevertheless, it’s always nice to see that the more underrated characters still received a nice amount of votes.

First Round: Matches 15 & 16

I’m back to my usual schedule :D I’ll be posting the winners of matches 13 & 14 later today, but I wanted to thank you for all the votes! Today we have four very interesting competitors, one a truly powerhouse.

Match-up 15: Jean “Phoenix” Grey versus Valkyrie!

A founding member of the X-Men, Jean is an omega-level mutant, possessing telekinetic and telephatic powers. Once Marvel Girl, later Jean would become a recurring host for the Phoenix Force, granting her an incredible amount of power. Jean is currently believed to be dead, but there’s always been talk at Marvel about her possible return in the future.

One of the few female Asgardians to enter training alongside Thor and others, Brunnhilde would become one of the strongest warriors. After completing her training, Odin appointed her leader of the Valkyrior, tasked to look for worthy warriors in the battlefields and grant them entrance to Valhalla. She would maintain this position for centuries. She is now part of the Secret Avengers.

Vote!

Match-up 16: Barbara “Mockingbird” Morse versus Dead Girl!

A biology professor, Bobbi Morse was once one of the most effective agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., excelling in gymnastics and arts of espionage. She would later become Mockingbird and a founding member of the West Coast Avengers. Bobbi was believed to be dead, but she returned during Secret Invasion as one of the heroes that had been abducted by the Skrulls. She is currently the star of Hawkeye & Mockingbird (recommended) and can also be seen in the pages of New Avengers.

Moonbeam (surname unknown) moved to New York to purse a career in acting, but after moving in with her lover, she was murdered by him. The murderer sealed her body in a mausoleum. At this time, her mutation activated and brought her back to life. Still trapped in the mausoleum, Dead Girl discovered that she could communicate with the dead. She would become a member of X-Statix.
