The competition has seriously thinned out over the last two weeks. Only eight contenders left. Only four battles to decide on.

1. HELLBOY VS IRON MAN

Hellboy:

PROS:
Demon. Large and very strong.
Right hand of doom.
Hard to kill. Can heal from many would-be-fatal injuries.
Immunity to fire.

CONS:
Probably not immune to missiles.
Doesn’t come with a tracking system.

Iron Man:

PROS:
Serious body armor.
Can fly.
Did I mention the missiles?

CONS:
Tech malfunctions. The Iron Man suit is powerful, but it can get damaged or lose power, and if the fight is between Hellboy and Tony Stark? Less of a contest.

2. RIPLEY VS THE KILLER RABBIT

Ripley:

PROS:
Certified badass.
BFG gun + power loader.
Taken on giant aliens and lived.

CONS:
Not as quick as the Killer Rabbit.

Killer Rabbit:

PROS:
Jumps so fast it practically flies.
Nasty, big, pointy teeth.
Small. Hard target to hit.

CONS:
A small size also makes it more vulnerable to harm.

3. BATMAN VS BLADE

Batman:

PROS:
All kinds of crazy tech and tools. Surely a Bat-stake in there somewhere.
Can practically fly.
Body armor.
Martial arts master.

CONS:
Still just a human. Not as naturally strong and doesn’t heal as rapidly.

Blade:

PROS:
Super strength.
Super speed.
Great reflexes.
Resilient to injury.

CONS:
Blade has some weapons, but definitely less access to money or best tech. Also, he doesn’t have a cape. You gotta have a cape.

4. THE BRIDE VS MAX

The Bride:

PROS:
Professional, trained assassin.
Ridiculously proficient in multiple weapon. Favors samurai sword.
All sorts of martial arts.
Hard to kill.

CONS:
Human. Not as fast or strong as Max is.
Doesn’t heal as rapidly.

Max:

PROS:
Transgenic with cat DNA. Super strong, super fast, great reflexes, agility, etc.
Engineered and trained to be a supersoldier.
Can jump really high distances.
Doesn’t need sleep.

CONS:
Doesn’t use guns.

All right, folks, that’s it. Results will be posted January 23rd.
