Round 1, Match 11 results
This one was a real challenge. Honestly, I would've preferred having more feedback from others to help settle the thing. Essentially, we have a fight between two combat-savvy spy-types. Under optimum conditions, I'd assume their fighting skills were roughly equivalent, and so would (at the risk of being accused a chauvinist) give the win to Nemesis simply on the assumption that he'd be physically stronger.
However these conditions aren't optimum...at least for Nemesis. In the specified title for him (Suicide Squad #13) Nemesis has just been busted out of a Russian prison. You gotta assume he was unarmed in the political pokey. He's probably suffering from a bit of...less-than-adequate nutritional care.
In contrast, in specified issue for Mockingbird (West Coast Avengers #40) she demonstrates her street-fighting chops by taking down a vastly physically stronger opponent (Digger) with relative ease.
Mockingbird goes to the next round!
