After Marvel bested arch-nemesis DC in IGN's polls, it's time to step up to the big leagues and pit the best of Marvel against the best of Star Wars. comics.ign.com/articles/118/1187420p1.htmlAs before, I'll update this one as it progresses. So how about it? Does Wolvie beat Darth Maul? Could Spidey whoop Luke Skywalker? |

Darth Maul took on two Jedi's at the one time (I'm still not sure why we were supposed to cheer on two against one). It'd be a tough brawl but... I dunno, I'd give the nod to Maul on this one. Saying that, he'd cut Wolverine in half and he wouldn't die. One slice of those claws and Maul is toast. Hmmmm. Too close to call. I'd love to see it though.
As for Luke vs Spidey - farmboy wouldn't stand a fucking chance. Yeah he's a Jedi. So what? He can move things with his mind if he..really...concentrates? He can trick "weak minded fools" into agreeing with him? He can choke you with his mind?
Spidey has faced 100 times that. Doctor Doom, Magneto (probably), Doc Ock, fucking VENOM, Juggernaut. All kinds of psychic baddies and guys who can turn into sand. Spider-Man would whoop Luke's ass on his worst day.

I gave Wolverine the nod because lightsabers seem to take a lot of effort to cut through walls and the like and adamantium being more or less the hardest substance known to fiction, I would assume Maul couldn't make a clean cut to incapacitate him. And Wolvie just keeps on fucking coming, no matter what. Eventually, Maul's got to slip and that would be that. I agree completely with Spidey beating Luke. At first I thought he'd have a hell of a time webbing a dude who can block lasers blind, but I do think Parker's strength, agility, and resourcefulness would beat fledgling Jedi powers most days.

Alright, it looks like they are updating the main page rather than creating a new one for each installment. So here's the new match-ups:
Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Professor X
Deadpool vs. Han Solo
Darth Vader vs. Magneto
I pick Xavier (true mind control > mind tricks), Wade (dude literally cannot die...even though he wants to), and Mags ("more machine than man" isn't beating the master of magnetism...come on) for a Marvel hat trick this round.
