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 finals begins now!

Simply choose which character you think would win in a (non “to the death”) fight in the following match-up. The voting concludes 24 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 Phoenix and punching her – Phoenix 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!

First, the results of the final four!

Out of 2,625 votes, Jean Grey (Phoenix) defeated Darkseid 66% to 34%.

Out of 2,620 votes, Superman defeated Silver Surfer 56% to 44%.

Here's the final!

1. Superman vs. 1. Jean Grey (Phoenix)

The results will be revealed tomorrow night!
