Round 2, Match 5 results
Yet again, the oldies prove their mettle. Despite the fact that Captain Boomerang is a seasoned villain/anti-hero who's given the Flash (no slouch himself) trouble on numerous occasions, he's typically (at least as far as I know) done so in the company of the Rogues. There's no such "gang" to help him out here.
In a straight-up mano-a-mano fight with the Voice, I just can't see how some specialty boomerangs are going to off-set a guy who can: start a landslide or shatter a house with his voice. Even if we grant that the Cap'n might come up with a weirdo "laryngitis-rang" (but really...does that sound like a standard piece of equipment?) in a straight up fight, the Voice has been depicted beating down multiple opponents simultaneously. I don't recall anything similar for Boomerang.
On top of all this, the referenced adventure also depicts the Voice exercising telepathy and carrying a sidearm. Sorry, C.B. you're just out of your league here. The Voice goes to round three!
Round 2, Match 6
The next match sees a friendly bit of fisticuffs between two Marvel heroes. When a Prowler is harassed by a Mockingbird, who walks away the winner?
