Round 1, Match 8 results
The Jester vs. The Cardinal was, in some ways, the most difficult I've had to pick. First, there were no outside votes. Second, the fight pitted two characters who've never really done a lot of fighting (in Jester's case, because he seems to have made one whole appearance; and in Cardinal's because creator Kurt Kolka wanted him to be more a character development/moral-inspiration type figure).
Given these constraints, however, here's the best pick I could make. While Jester never actually engages anyone in Black Cat #7, Cardinal at last finally goes up against a demon and wins! Based on what we have to work with, I've gotta give the nod to ole Rich Benton if for no other reason than simply that he shows up and fights! Cardinal goes to the next round!
Round 1, Match 9
Our ninth match pits the two main houses against each other, as Marvel's French hero Le Peregrine faces off against DC's Aussie villain/anti-hero Captain Boomerang. Who would win? You decide.
