SuperHero Showdown 1 – Final Fight 2(Fight 38)

Well follks, tonight's the night that decides it all. We're down to the final two managers and final two fighters of SuperHero Showdown 1. The manger who wins this fight will be named tournament champion.

As most of you know, the tournament power cap was Thor/Wonder Woman. While those two characters are long gone, tonight's contestants are a fitting match up for the grande finale.

What better wetting for the final fight of SUPER-Hero Showdow than a SUPER-Dome that's hosted many other champion events, includeing many SUPER-Bowls. That's right, tonight's environment is the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Ukblueky's, heavy hitter, Storm, the Goddess of Thunder from Earth 1027 makes her appearance at one end of the stadium. At the other end of the stadium, Ghost's "main man" Beta Ray Bill pops onto the field. Managers and fighters are all aware of what's at stake here, honor, glory...and, most importantly, bragging rights.

Important Note: - If tonight's fight should end in a tie, I will repost it on Monday Night with a different environment. If the re-match also ends in a tie the winner will be chosen by the online randomizer.

Best of luck to both managers. Now take your places everyone. At the sound of the whistle, come out fighting and may the best Thunder God or Goddess win...

Environment: Superdome




What better location for the SHS 1 Final Fight than the home of so many championship events, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The College Game should be over by the time the Fight starts; you can expect the usual maintenance, security and administrative personnel for a Saturday Night and Sunday with no events planned.







* The winner merely has to subdue his/her opponent. It is not a fight to the death. Wrapping somebody up, possessing them, kill your opponent, knock them out, render them incapable of fighting anymore and so on all count as victory. All a character has to do is prevent their opponent from being able to continue the fight. A fighter forced out of the environment is not considered subdued. However a fighter who himself teleports away from a fight or flees in any manner is considered defeated.



* Where do fights begin?
a.) fighters begin the battle entering at opposite ends of the environment. (In a confined environment with only one entrance it will be assumed that they are transported to opposite ends of the area)
b. fights last for 24 hours
c.) fighters are fully aware that they are involved in a fight with their opponent.
d.) fighters then seek each other out. In a cell that is not so much a problem. In an open area it becomes a bit more difficult.
* The power(s) that a character takes into a fight are their current powers unless stated otherwise in the fight listings.





As a reminder, here are the voting rules:

* Anybody can vote (competitors, spectators, etc.)
* CCL'ers are permitted to vote once per fight (including team managers.) If you have multiple CCL accounts, you may only vote from one of those accounts. To ensure fairness, multiple CCL users that live under the same roof should designate one person as the voter. This eliminates the possibility of "block" voting. (Ask us for clarification, if this is unclear to you.)
* Please consider all logical factors when voting (environment, rationales, current power levels.)
* Feel free to comment on why you voted the way you did, or why you disagree/agree with somebody else’s rationale.
* It is a good rule of thumb to hear from both managers before voting. All votes are final, even if you accidentally push the wrong button!
* While we invite and encourage all CCL members to participate in the tournament, we do ask that new members refrain from voting the first day they sign up for CCL. The intent of this rule is to discourage people from turning the game into a popularity contest by signing up just to vote in a friend’s fight.

* The SuperHero Showdown Forum is a sub-section of the Comic Collector Live Forums and as such is subject to the forum rules and terms of service. Violations of the voting rules, particularly those relating to fairness and good sportsmanship are subject to disciplinary action in the same manner as violations of any other forum rules. These actions can range from warnings up to and including suspension from the forums. Actions taken in response to violations will be determined on a case by case basis after an evaluation of the circumstances and the severity of the violation.

As I've done in past matches with Beta Ray Bill, here is a link for all of you to click on to see Bill's amazing feats. His power is awesome, his will power is amazing. He fights for days before feeling the the least bit tired. He does not give up even against impossible odds. He's beaten Surtur, Thor, Frost Giants, Galactus and his heralds, Odin, and some heavy hitters right here in this tourney.

Here is the link you need to click on to see Bill in action...

Beta Ray Bill in action pictures!

Remember that Storm is a weather goddess. Beta Ray Bill along with Stormbreaker can manipulate and control the weather so he is able to manipulate and control Storm's ability to control that weather. If she uses those powers they will simply backfire on her.

when the levy breaks.....

this would be the mother of all storms with these two.

Collateral Damage x 1,000,000,000

---

The dome is fixed in place and there are still staff on the grounds. These circumstances should affect both fighters cutting loose with the full ferocity of their powers.

---

Here's the conundrum: Bill's facing an opponent with similar powers, who might be immune to anything he throws out. Does he increase his power output to subdue Storm, at the risk of bystanders, or not?

Hate to miss all this guys, but I probably won't be back to check in on things until the end of the fight. Gonna go play at Disney with the girls, while my hubby and everyone else back home batters down for the storm,

I was working on 2 hours of sleep when I posted this last night & I'm not sure I remembered to set the timer for the fight. Just in case I forgot (& if I'm not back by then) the official end time for the fight is 9:52:14 PM Central Time (10:15:14 PM Eastern, 8:15:14 PM Mountain, 7:52:14 PM Pacific & Arizona (Sorry Icky, my brain's not awake enough to do the calculations for the time on the other side of the Pond)).

As I said in my opening post, Best of Luck to both Ukblueky and Ghost.

As much as Uk and i have bickered......I would have to agree on one thing.....Storm has more pinpoint control of her abilities than Bill does (if THIS Storm is equal to the real one).

Bill seems to be kind of an all out throw all his energy around kinda unfocused Hulkamaniac moment type of fighter. That's fine in space or on an asteroid, but here, that would hamper him.


Of course, Storm's just a woman right. Bill has all kinds of natural resistances and strengths that llow him to withstand massive damage. Strom could be knocked out by a falling ceiling panel if she didnt see it coming right?

What you are forgetting is that Bill can manipulate the weather thereby manipulating Storm's powers over the weather. Storm's weather control would have no affect on Beta Ray Bill.

Drake, Bill can create wild attacks that would totally consume the dome or pinpoint attacks as seen in the pictures from the link. He can generate energy blasts that would directly hit Storm head on.

It's doubtful that Storm could get Stormbreaker out of Bill's hand considering his strength. However, Bill could use his pinpoint accuracy to fire a blast of energy at Storm's hand causing her to release her hammer. Bill's blast could actually severe Storm's hand with such a blast. Storm does not have the same amount of strength that Bill has. Beta Ray Bill can destroy moons with his bare fists. That is a lot of freakin' strength, kids.

---

Stormbreaker can form a powerful shield around Bill. No ice storm is going to stop Bill when he can create powerful heat from lightning and energy blasts.

Um...how is a hurricane in a dome not going to affect the bystanders? The dome is big but you have no idea where the people are standing. Same goes for the cold tempatures. Both will affect any humans who are nearby.

This is where my tons of X-Men reading comes in.Storm can pinpoint her weather powers to a specific area, even very small ones, without affecting any surrounding area.Her weather powers and control are without equal my friend.This is why I always pick her for these things.
