Second Round: Ms. Marvel versus Rescue

In one corner we have the mighty Ms. Marvel. Carol Danvers boasts a half-Kree genetic makeup, which has granted her superhuman abilities. She’s been (and currently is) a trusted member of the Avengers and has battled alcoholism successfully. I am not fond of how BMB’s writing her, but you can catch her on New Avengers!

In the other corner there’s Pepper Potts! For a long time assistant of Tony Stark, Pepper was recently involved in a bomb attack with devastating consequences. As a result, she now lives thanks to a power battery stored in her body. She’s also been given her own armor, which she uses to perform rescue operations.

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

The winners of matches 3 & 4: Carol Danvers and Sooraya Qadir!
Carol’s match was a tough one. Mystique was at her heels all the time, but in the end she prevailed with a 10-votes lead over Mystique. That was a close one! On the other hand, Sooraya won her match rather comfortably. Similar to Armor, Dagger got a surge of votes right before the match finished. Thanks everyone for voting!

First Round: Matches 3 & 4

I’ll be revealing the winners of the previous matches in a couple of minutes, but right now it’s time to vote again! Remember that you have until Wednesday 12AM GMT to vote.

Two long-time enemies go against each other in this match: Ms. Marvel versus Mystique. Carol Danvers recieved her powers when she became half-Kree after an accident that involved Kree technology and Captain Marvel. She’s currently an Avenger in Luke Cage’s team and has battled alcoholism successfully.

Mystique, on the other hand, is a shape-shifter mutant. An enemy of the X-Men, she was also the leader of The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Mystique is one of the few bisexual characters from the Marvel U, having been in a long relationship with Desitny.

Vote!

The next match puts Dust against Dagger. Dust is a mutant from Afghanistan and she’s an example of positive muslim characterization in comics. She has the power to transform into sand or dust and is currently one of the most powerful mutants in the X-Men.

Dagger is half of the vigilante duo known as Cloak & Dagger. She obtained her powers as a consequence of a drug-related experiment. She became the personification of light, able to generate light and use it both offensively or defensively.

HELLO EVERYONE!
The votes for the nominations have been tallied :D We received a lot of different noms and many of them had more than one vote, so leaving characters out from the main competition was really difficult. So here’s how it looks: we have 64 contestants that have been divided into 8 groups. This means that for the first round we have 32 matches. Now it’s time for me to hear your opinions. For this first round, I was planning to have two matches per day in order not to extend the tournament that much, but I’m leaving the decision up to you, since I’m organising this tournament for your enjoyment. So tell me what you think, what you’d like to see.
Also! I already have the brackets, but I want each match to be sort of a surprise~, so I won’t post them here. But… would you like me to disclose the list of competitors for you to see which characters made it?

Marvel’s Finest Women Tournament
So we’re down for this! Thanks everyone for your input. This is my first tournament ever, so I’ll do my best for you to enjoy and have fun with this.
In order to decide the competitors, I thought it’d be good to have nominations so that you can see your favorite ladies in this tournament.
Each one of you will be able to nominate up to three different characters.
I can’t ask you to not go anon, but it’d be great if you just nominated once. I think our competitors list it’s going to be bigger than the one at @dcwomenkickingass, so it’s likely that you’ll see your favs in this tournament.
Why not include every single character? Well, I have a list of 200+ female characters from Marvel, to pull off something like that would take… I don’t know, maybe months and most probably many people would lose interest in the end. I haven’t decided the max number of competitors, but like I said, it’s going to be bigger than the one for the DC women.
Obscure and less-known characters will be probably left out if they don’t receive that many nominations, but fear not! I was actually planning to start a series of posts concentrating on characters that don’t get as much fan recognition.
That’s what I’ve come up with for now. I’ll probably open nominations on Monday, so if you have any suggestions for this tournament, do send them to our ask box, ‘cause I will definitely have them in mind! Like I said, I want to make the best of this and I’m sure I’ll be able to with your help ;)
ALSO! Feel free to reblog this post so that more people get involved with this :D
