Round 2 Continues

It's been a while since we had some battles but we are back with eight more contenders. All of them vying for the title of "Worlds Greatest Superhero". Or at least my worlds greatest. Let's get started with A Female Fury Match:


Zatanna
Versus
The Huntress

Batman isn't all that happy with either one of them (look them both up on Wikipedia if you really want to know why). The Huntress is armed to the teeth as she enters the battle area. Zatanna seems to be very calm and collected. These two get too much respect for there to be any "girl on girl" gimmick jokes made. Just a normal pier six that ends rather quickly as Zatanna moves on to the Sweet 16. Winner - Zatanna by KO

Next up:


Hawkman

Versus

Dr. Fate


In one origin, these men were teamed together in the Justice Society. In what may or may not be another reality, they are father and son. Whichever reality we are using, this should be a good fight as well. It may be because of the mysterious sorcery of Dr. Fate, maybe it's just luck, perhaps Hawkman had an off day, or it's possible I never really liked Hawkman all that much. Whatever the reason, Dr. Fate joins Zatanna in the Sweet 16. Winner - Dr. Fate by decision.

Moving on:


Green Lantern Alan Scott

Versus

Swamp Thing


Well, irony, how cruel is thy sting! Here we have Alan Scott the original Green Lantern against the Guardian of the Green. Oddly enough the ring that gives Alan Scott his power has only one weakness and that's wood. Swamp Thing is pretty much made of wood. You see where I'm going with this? Swamp Thing walks a mud hole in this Green Lanterns butt and walks it dry. Winner - Swamp Thing by KO

Lastly:


Hawkgirl

Versus

Green Arrow


It is fairly well known that Green Arrow and Hawkman do not get along very well due to political bickering and outright hostility. Hawkmans conservative nature versus Green Arrows liberal take on just about everything have led the two to bump heads on several occasions. But this fight isn't between those two. Hawkgirl shares some of the same beliefs as Hawkman so that may lead to Green Arrow also not being a favorite of hers. However you look at it I certainly appreciate Ollie's attention to detail as he uses his arrows to slice through the winged warrioress' costume in very strategic spots. Hmph, she looks nice unconscious. Winner - Green Arrow by KO.

We are halfway to the Sweet 16!
