Round 1, Match 12 results
This was another difficult call. Regardless of how tough the Face is, however, I think we need to acknowledge that a whole lot of his fighting edge came from "shock value" arising from his grotesque mask. Is there much reason to think that would have much of an effect on the Prowler? This guy has been running around with Puma and Sandman, so I rather doubt it.
Both guys are most stealth-type heroes. Given the fight-ring setting, that wouldn't seem to benefit either of them. While Prowler has a variety of non-lethal gadgetry amplifying his suit, the Face carries a side-arm and seems to have no hesitancy to bust a cap in an opponent.
Thus, in the end this is largely a coin-toss. About the only tie-breaker I can see is the durability of Prowler's outfit. Given the time he operated and the level of attention given to his costume construction, I'm assuming it's pretty kevlar-heavy. That would seem to mitigate against the "punch power" of Face's handgun. Face, for his part, appears to be wearing regular dress. So I'm going to have to give the win to Prowler by the slightest of edges.
