Some of these are absolute stomps, and some of them I would be interested in seeing. Magneto vs Dust, QQ v Hope and Warpath v Hellion I think would all be close match ups.

For Quarter 1, at least:
Wolverine vs Monet
Maggot vs Banshee
Juggernaut vs Rictor
Mercury vs Psylocke (but maybe could be a tie)
Colossus vs Mystique
Dani Moonstar (if she has her valkyrie powers) vs Sunfire
Surge vs Kitty Pryde (EDIT:Nori can keep some distance since Kitty's powers only help up close and personal. plus she's faster and can shock kitty)
Marrow vs RogueLast edited by Tycon; 11-01-2018 at 09:26 PM.

My picks are pretty similar.

Surge v Kitty Pryde
Marrow v Rogue
Wolverine v Monet was another tough one for me but two factors caused me to pick Logan. 1) I think he is overall just a better fighter, 2) he hangs with the Hulk so I don't think M is gonna give him too much trouble despite her better strength.

So this is will probably boil down to popularity? Wolverine12 is right, some of these are absolute stomps. Here's my two cents for the first round at least.

Quarter 1
Wolverine vs Monet
If she uses her intelligence, she can use her speed/tp/tk to overwhelm him, and try to throw him in water or something to drown him.
Maggot vs Banshee
Easy, Sean has ranged attacks and can fly.
Juggernaut vs Rictor
Easy.
Mercury vs Psylocke
Easy.
Colossus vs Mystique
In a straight up fight, easy.
Dani Moonstar vs Sunfire
I'm assuming Dani has her original powers here, so I think Shiro has enough will power to overcome his fears and his firepower is enough to secure an easy win.
Surge vs Kitty Pryde
Considering the best Kitty could do is try to phase a stick into her, I'm gonna go with the speedster with lightning(Kitty is not 100% immune to heat/energy attacks).
Marrow vs Rogue
Easy.
Quarter 2
Storm vs Wolfsbane
Easy.
Gentle vs Chamber
Easy.
Multiple Man vs Sabretooth
The thought of a pile of Jaime corpses torn to bits was interesting.
Jubilee vs Rachel Summers
Easy.
Havok vs Pixie
That teleport spell comes in super handy.
Namor vs X-23
Grabs her by the wrists and ankles, and rips her in half/flies into the sea to drown her.
Polaris vs Shatterstar
Easy.
Armor vs Jean Grey
Easy.
Quarter 3
Cyclops vs Rockslide
He's a psionic rock golem. There's nothing Cyke could do to put him down for good, so Santo gets this one.
Fantomex vs Nightcrawler
I guess this is classical Fantomex, and that misdirect leaves Kurt open to a finishing blow.
Domino vs Anole
Easy.
Darwin vs Bishop
I guess there's nothing Bishop can do against him.
Archangel vs Boom Boom
Warren's flight and speed will evade her timebombs long enough for one of his flechettes to take her down.
Warpath vs Hellion
Interesting match, but I'm gonna go with James. He's a tough guy, and I don't think Hellion would go psycho brutal right out of the gate.
Cannonball vs Cecilia Reyes
Also an interesting match. They both have personal forcefields. I'm gonna go with Cece, just because Sam might hesitate to hit her hard enough.
Siryn vs Iceman
Easy.
Quarter 4
Magneto vs Dust
I'm gonna go with Dust, simply because she actually has a decent chance and Mags will almost certainly get all the votes.
Stepford Cuckoos vs Magik
Easy.
Quentin Quire vs Hope Summers
Uhg, I hate both of them, but I hate Quire slightly less.
Northstar vs Cable
Considering Cable just got killed by a kid, I think Northstar's speed should give him the win.
X-Man vs Forge
I'm going to pretend Forge installed some excellent psi-blockers in his cybernetics and keeps Nate out of his head long enough to show him was a real shaman looks like!
Longshot vs Gambit
Claremont is laughing somewhere. I'll go with Remy, though, even if it could go either way.
Blink vs Trinary
Easy.
Beast vs Emma Frost
Easy.Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!

This will 100% come down to popularity, and I think we all have a rough idea of who will end up in the finals. 'd like to know who proposed these pairings in particular, as some are pretty random, and somehow Trinary, Longshot, Maggott and Darwin made the list but Frenzy, Elixir, Mimic, Daken etc. didn't. Anyway, my votes were as follows:
Quarter 1
Wolverine vs Monet
Maggot vs Banshee
Juggernaut vs Rictor
Mercury vs Psylocke
Colossus vs Mystique
Dani Moonstar vs Sunfire
Surge vs Kitty Pryde
Marrow vs Rogue
Quarter 2
Storm vs Wolfsbane
Gentle vs Chamber
Multiple Man vs Sabretooth
Jubilee vs Rachel Summers
Havok vs Pixie
Namor vs X-23
Polaris vs Shatterstar
Armor vs Jean Grey
Quarter 3
Cyclops vs Rockslide
Fantomex vs Nightcrawler
Domino vs Anole
Darwin vs Bishop
Archangel vs Boom Boom
Warpath vs Hellion
Cannonball vs Cecilia Reyes
Siryn vs Iceman
Quarter 4
Magneto vs Dust
Stepford Cuckoos vs Magik
Quentin Quire vs Hope Summers
Northstar vs Cable
X-Man vs Forge
Longshot vs Gambit
Blink vs Trinary
Beast vs Emma Frost

Quarter 2
Storm vs Wolfsbane
Duh.
Gentle vs Chamber
The X-Men's Hulk can take a few psionic blasts.
Multiple Man vs Sabretooth
i agree with yoga. someone's gotta commission kuder or choi to draw that
Jubilee vs Rachel Summers
stomp.
Havok vs Pixie
Namor vs X-23
stomp.
Polaris vs Shatterstar
mega stomp.
Armor vs Jean Grey
mega stomp.
Quarter 3
Cyclops vs Rockslide
i don't know how scott could even knock santo out, but imagining scott losing in this is laughable
Fantomex vs Nightcrawler
kurt's a way better h2h fighter
Domino vs Anole
domino prolly has deadlier ways of dispatching vic + her luck powers
Darwin vs Bishop
once darwin evolves to counteract energy attacks, it's over for lucas
Archangel vs Boom Boom
*schluk*
Warpath vs Hellion
julian carves up jimmy with his own knives. those new x-men kids are psychos.
Cannonball vs Cecilia Reyes
idk but i think sam might edge this out just because he has more field experience
Siryn vs Iceman
stomp.
Quarter 4
Magneto vs Dust
i think it just comes down to who's faster. if sooraya is faster, magneto can't survive the assault. but if magneto puts his shields up faster, there's nothing sooraya can do. but i think sooraya can tank mag's magnetic blasts since she was able to survive facing off against belasco
Stepford Cuckoos vs Magik
doesn't illyana have tp immunity or has that been gone? either way, these triplets are stepping on a disc to limbo.
Quentin Quire vs Hope Summers
quentin is way weaker since giving up the phoenix, plus hope has power mimicry plus more fighting experience
Northstar vs Cable
jean-paul via speed blitz
X-Man vs Forge
maybe either way but since nate is becoming whitewashed jesus, i give it to him
Longshot vs Gambit
idk i always thot they were equals but longshot's luck powers may help him in the end
Blink vs Trinary
mega stomp.
Beast vs Emma Frost
"poke your eyes out"

Maybe I worded it poorly. I meant I would actually like to see the fight because if could be interesting, either on the page or in a movie/tv show. But for sure Mags is gonna stomp Dust vote wise. Originally Posted by Maestroneto
