Welcome to the final four of the 9th Annual CSBG DC/Marvel Character Tournament!

This time around, we're going to do it as a "comic book battles" tournament. The 64 characters were chosen from the top 32 DC and top 32 Marvel characters from the 2015 Top 100 DC and Marvel Character Poll that you all voted on. The selection committee then seeded those 64 characters from the most likely to win to the least likely to win and then created the tournament.

The final four round begins now!

Simply choose which characters you think would win in a (non “to the death”) fight in the following match-ups. The voting concludes 48 hours from right now!

Each competitor has, let’s say, a half hour to prepare (so it’s not like Superman just walking up to Silver Surfer and punching him – Surfer would be prepared), and can use whatever weaponry you figure would be typical for that character (so Phoenix can use whatever weapons you would expect her to normally use, but she can’t go get, I dunno, the Infinity Gauntlet, or whatever).

Enjoy!
