Round 2, Match 1 results
As befits moving to the second round, this match was really difficult to call. In terms of straight-up hand-to-hand combat, I think you've got to give the win to Miss Melee. After all, in her referenced adventure (Miss Melee #1) she single-handedly takes down a small army of ninjas!
However, in his referenced adventure, Black Crow gets the better of two super-powered individuals both of whom have pretty fierce hand-to-hand combat skills (i.e., Spider-Man and Puma).
Despite subsequent stories which depict Miss Melee executing some impressive chi-powered feats, that's not really depicted in MM #1. Spectacular Spider-Man #192, in contrast, shows Black Crow making generous use of his mystic powers.
Since the specified location (i.e., a vacant rugby pitch) doesn't seem to grant any particular benefit to one combatant or the other, I'd have to assume that Black Crow would come out the winner. BC moves to Round 3!
Round 2, Match 2
Our next battle is your classic alley scrap between Marvel's ruthless assassin, Cutthroat and MLJ's Golden Age bruiser the Wizard.
