FNF (Round 1): M4 results and Ion vs. Mad Dog

Round 1, Match 4 results

Detective Chimp vs. Wizard

This one really was a toss-up.  Overall, Wizard seemed to have more powers and gadgets.  Against nothing more than Detective Chimp's super-intelligence and normal chimpanzee strength/agility, Wizard would seem to come out on top.

However, in the specific comic referenced for Wizard (Miss Liberty #1) you don't really see him use any of this.  Thus, you might think Detective Chimp would have enough fighting prowess to beat Wizard.

Unfortunately, Detective Chimp doesn't look like much in his specified comic either (Day of Vengeance #3), unless you count sarcasm as a "super-power".

The specified setting doesn't seem like it would affect the fight too much.  Both of these guys are heroes, so I figure neither would do anything like taking a hostage. I'd expect a similar showing in terms of agility and strength.  The only detail that would seem to tilt the outcome a bit is the specification that this setting features, "Hundreds of food carts, gastropubs and clubs offer a plethora of culinary choices and those who feel hungry for something else can enjoy concerts, musea, musical activities or one of the many other recreational venues."

Based on that, and Detective Chimp's established tendency to alcoholism, I'd expect DC to have knocked back a few already.  Inebriated, I figure Wizard takes him down.
