FNF (Round 1): M11 results and the Face vs. Prowler (Marvel)

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!

Round 1, Match 10 results

When I first paired the Match 10 combatants, I knew next-to-nothing about the Voice.  Basically, I jus thought he was like a crime-fighting ventriloquist.  Up against that, a quirky-looking martial artist like Osakan Riot would seem to have a pretty good chance...

But then I read the Voice's inaugural adventure in Amazing Comics #22.  In it, not only does the Voice single-handedly taken on a large group of thugs (in contrast to Osakan Riot, who shows up to help Miss Melee take down a gang) but to top it off, the guy can blast bad guys out of trees and even collapse a building by "throwing his voice in a loud roar"!?

I'm guessing this assessment was universal, as the feedback I got from a few Facebook polls uniformly gave the win to the Voice.  The people have spoken, Voice goes to the next round!
