Carnage rampages on while Dormammu sits on a cosmic bench wondering what the hell happened? ---------------------------------------- Moving swiftly away from the massacre ... Power Girl - Real name Kara Zor-L, also known as Karen Starr is a DC Comics superhero. Power Girl is the Earth-Two counterpart of Supergirl and the first cousin of the Earth-Two Superman. The infant Power Girl's parents enabled her to escape the destruction of Krypton. Although she left the planet at the same time that Superman did, her ship took much longer to reach Earth-Two. Possessing superhuman strength and the ability to fly, she is a member of the Justice Society of America and the team's first chairwoman. Power Girl sports a bob of blond hair, wears a distinctive white, red and blue costume, and has an aggressive fighting style. Throughout her early appearances in All Star Comics, Power Girl was frequently at odds with Wildcat, who had a penchant for uttering sexist comments that she found offensive. Power Girl exhibits all of the classic Kryptonian powers of Superman: super-strength, flight, super-speed, invulnerability, X-ray vision, heat vision, and super-hearing. Although Power Girl has displayed an occasional weakness to kryptonite, Infinite Crisis #3 revealed that the Kryptonite available in the mainstream DCU does not affect Kryptonians from other universes, such as Power Girl, Kal-L, or Superboy-Prime. Power Girl is consistently depicted as a buxom young woman, and her physique is one of her most recognizable attributes — to the extent that various writers have acknowledged it in both serious and humorous ways. At one point the heroes need to distract the Toyman while Batman and Superman battle Captain Marvel and Hawkman. Seeking a way to accomplish this task, Batman notes that their opponent is a thirteen-year-old boy, and all attention goes to Power Girl, prompting her response: "What's everyone looking at me for? How am I supposed to distract ... oh." vs The Kingpin - A Marvel Comics villain who has battled many Marvel crime-fighters; most often Spider-Man, Daredevil and The Punisher. A titanic figure with an ever-present cigar and diamond-studded cane, the Kingpin is the cold-blooded leader of New York organized crime, although his army of lawyers maintain his image as a legitimate businessman. The character played a prominent role in the Daredevil stories of the late 1970s and early 1980s written by Frank Miller, and the two have had a bitter, violent feud ever since. According to Brian Michael Bendis's retcon, Fisk succeeded Alexander Bont as Kingpin. Wilson Fisk is a criminal mastermind who was involved in extensive illegal activities such as drug running, smuggling, murder and dozens of other crimes. Despite this, he had (until recently, see below) no criminal record and an army of lawyers to keep it that way, and is a criminal financial strategist without parallel. Fisk has no superhuman powers, but the majority of his 6'7" 450 pound bulk is muscle (when he delivered a kick to the Kingpin's back, Daredevil could only think, "Whatever that was, it wasn't fat. Felt more like rock." In the Spiderman animated series, Kingpin told him that "approximately two percent of [his] body weight is fat"). He is a superb fighter who has held his own against Spider-Man, but in recent years Daredevil has occupied his attention. He has been aware of Daredevil's secret identity for years, thanks to Karen Page's drug-fueled betrayal. Though Spider-Man and Daredevil are his greatest enemies, he has also tangled with Captain America, Moon Knight, Doctor Strange, The Punisher, the Avengers, and Ghost Rider, among others. He has employed any number of costumed criminals and assassins, notably Elektra, Bullseye, Jack O'Lantern, Answer, and Typhoid Mary. I don't really follow Power Girl, where as Kingpin is quite the menace. Kingpin has my vote.

Power Girl takes down the Kingpin of Crime -------------------------------------- Next ... NOTE: Citizen Steel will be getting a seperate entry later. Steel - John Henry Irons is the third hero known as Steel, a fictional superhero in the DC Universe. He is also known as the Man of Steel. Currently, John Henry Irons has no superhuman abilities; however, he is an extraordinary inventor and engineer, and wears a suit of powered armor which grants him flight, super strength and endurance. A large hammer is also a key weapon in the suit's arsenal. Steel modified his suit many times through his career. The initial "Man of Steel" design was armed with a wrist-mounted rivet gun and the sledgehammer (such as used by his namesake John Henry) that was ubiquitous for most of his designs. The original design on his breastplate featured a metal version of Superman's "S" insignia in tribute to the (temporarily) deceased hero, which Irons removed after the return of the "real" Man of Steel. A later design incorporated a similar, but different, "S" symbol. When he wore the Entropy Aegis he could enlarge himself to giant size, had god-like strength and durability, flight due to energy wings, teleportation throughout time and space, and could fire blasts of energy that could reduce a target to its composite elements. However, the Aegis made him very violent and was slowly erasing his soul. His most current "smart hammer" hits harder the farther it is thrown, is capable of independent flight, and has an onboard computer guidance and analysis system capable of detecting a target's stress points. Previously, during the 52 event, John Henry Irons was altered by the Everyman Project and had become composed of stainless steel due to Lex Luthor tampering with John's DNA without John's consent. Steel's strength and durability are now on a superhuman level. In addition, he can generate enough heat to turn metal fluid (including his own body, which he can then drip off of himself in small amounts). It is as of yet unclear exactly how he generates the heat, though it may be somewhat electric or kinetic in nature. In 52 #29, the metal skin peeled off completely, leaving him, again, a normal human. Amazingly a film was made about this hero starring Shaquille O'Neal, it didn't do very well. vs Jigsaw - A Marvel Comics villain and archenemy of The Punisher. Billy Russo was a brutal assassin for the Maggia crime family, nicknamed "the Beaut" because of his good looks. He was also a favorite assassin for the Costa crime family. After the execution-style killings that inadvertently led to the deaths of Frank Castle's family, Russo was hired by Bruno Costa to assassinate another assassin who had failed to kill Frank Castle as well. Russo killed all of his targets but Castle, who narrowly avoided death in an explosion. Hours later, Castle returned and tracked down Russo to one of the Maggia's nightclubs. Several criminals were killed, and Russo was thrown through a glass pane head-first. He survives with his face torn to shreds; surgeons stitch it back together like a jigsaw puzzle. Jigsaw is unique in that he is one of the Punisher's few recurring foes, as the Punisher tends to use lethal force on his adversaries. Why Jigsaw is continually spared and imprisoned is unknown; it seems to be due to Jigsaw being the most notable Punisher villain who is more of a traditional comic book character, instead of the more naturalistically portrayed villains the Punisher usually faces (mainly it is due to the writers not wanting him to be killed). A brutal assasin who survives encounters with the Punisher? It's almost unheard of. Jigsaw has my vote for being a nasty piece of work and a survivor.

Jigsaw gets to 4 first, defeating Henry Irons aka Steel ----------------------------------- Last match from me today ... Rorschach - A superhero featured in the acclaimed 1986 DC Comics series Watchmen. Derived from Charlton Comics characters, in this case The Question and Mr. A, created by Steve Ditko. Wearing the inkblot-like mask he considers his true face, Rorschach has continued his one-man battle against crime long after superheroes became both detested and illegal. Rorschach’s actions and journal writings display a belief in moral absolutism and objectivism, where good and evil are clearly defined and evil must be violently punished. He has alienated himself from the rest of society to achieve these aims. Rorschach's driving philosophy is that of moral absolutism, the practitioners of which believe in an unalterable moral code that requires the strict and severe punishment of any infraction, as well as moral objectivism. His opposition to the evil of crime is evident in his total lack of empathy for criminals, and his disdain for conventional immorality, lawlessness, government, and the police, being willing to torture or execute criminals in the pursuit of his aims. His view of the world is black and white with no shades of grey - thus reflecting the properties of the mask that he wears. Additionally, in this respect, the nature of a Rorschach test, which is heavily open to interpretation, contrasts with Rorschach's moral views, which are not open to debate. he is a resourceful, ruthless investigator and fighter. He is exceptionally skilled at using otherwise harmless objects as improvised weapons, at various times using hairspray, cooking fat, and a toilet bowl to lethal effect. Rorschach ignores bodily pain and discomfort, once braving antarctic temperatures with only his trenchcoat. The fact that he could shatter a toilet bowl by just kicking it once (with his right foot, though he is left-handed) is another evidence that he may also possess great physical strength (in addition to increased fighting skills). He also has a creative flair for the dramatic to enhance his interrogations such as when he hid in Moloch's refrigerator to startle the old convict into compliance. Rorschach lives in poverty and has few possessions. Besides his mask and trenchcoat (which, as can clearly be seen and as pointed out by his former ally, Nite Owl II, doesn't even have all its buttons, which could be another form of chosen poverty), the only permanent items Rorschach keeps on his person are a journal of observations, and a grappling gun. The gun was a gift from Nite Owl II, and is used for scaling buildings (though he did use it as a weapon on one occasion). He lost the grappling gun when he was captured by the police. vs The Mad Hatter - He is a DC villain associated with Batman. Jervis Tetch is fascinated with hats of all shapes and sizes, as well as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass, particularly favoring the chapter 'A Mad Tea Party'. He is obsessive-compulsive, highly delusional, suffers from psychotic manic depression, and can even sometimes be homicidal. It has been hinted in recent years that he is a paedophile, kidnapping little girls with the name "Alice". As shown in Secret Six, he won't eat a piece of food that doesn't have a hat on it. He exhibits delusions and thought processes typical of schizophrenia. Not only is he often known to quote and reference Carroll's Wonderland novels, but he often fails to discern between these stories and reality. He will go to insane lengths to get what he wants. While the Mad Hatter has no inherent superpowers, he is a brilliant neurotechnician with considerable knowledge on how to dominate and control the human mind, either through hypnosis or direct technological means. Usually, the Hatter places his mind control devices in the brims of hats, but has been known to utilize other devices as well. More recently, he has been able to directly influence the minds of others at a distance without any apparent equipment, however, this is probably due to his skill at miniaturizing and concealing technology rather than a newly-emerging metahuman ability. The Mad Hatter is not above using his own inventions on himself, such as creating a hat that can cause him both extreme bliss, as well as return him to lucidity when he deems it necessary. Ooh tough ... I think I'll give Rorschach the nod here.
