-Matches will last exactly 24 hours. Votes after that much time has elapsed will not be counted, even if a new topic hasn't gone up yet.
-This is a contest to determine which character is the most *powerful*. Vote only for the character you think would win in a fight, not the one who's funnier, cooler, or sexier. If you don't do that I can't count your vote.
-BOLD YOUR VOTE. Unbolded votes will NOT be counted.
-Rallying is allowed. Alts are not.
-Fights will take place in a neutral terrain. This does not necessarily mean a *featureless* terrain: assume that both characters will have a chance to use all of their skills to the fullest here, barring setting-specific abilities and anything that requires the presence of multiple enemies (but see below).
-Characters start the fight alone. They don't bring allies with them, like Kerrigan and the Zerg Swarm for instance. Summons are allowed though, provided they're brought once combat has started.
-Fighters retain their usual personalities. They won't fight to kill unless that's their MO, and won't spam their best attacks to win unless, again, that's how they act in their original media.
-Similarly, fighters are unaware of their opponents capabilities at the start of the fight unless their powers facilitate them information (like knowing all there is to know in the universe - this would include who the opponent is and what he can do, as well as weaknesses)
-You don't have to justify your vote, but it helps. If you feel like you can add something to the debate, go right ahead!
-Seriously, BOLD THE VOTE. So important it bears repeating.

Past Results:
In spite of remaining a consistent doubling until the final hours of the match, the battle between Bryan Mills and Twilight Sparkle drew a ton of votes. In the end, however, the gifted pony spellcaster is the third 1-seed to fall. Votals: 10-23.
(4) Accelerator
From A Certain Magical Index, Accelerator is an esper who has the power of vector control. This power can be used in several ways, including redirection of vectors (such as reversing blood flow, ripping off skin, etc.), crushing the earth around him, vector shooting, wind control, plasma storms (created by further compressing wind at a single point), kinetic blasts (by taking control of the planet’s rotational vectors and transferring energy into an attack - doing this once slowed the earth’s rotation by about five minutes), brain hacking (redirecting electrical signals allows him to rewrite memories / personality), and flight. He also has an anti-magic field. The redirection ability is passive and occurs at light speed. Accelerator himself is capable of moving at hypersonic speeds (Mach 10), and in his most recent form has tanked an attack that would have destroyed all of Europe and Asia.

(5) New Son gambit
From X-Men, the New Son is a version of Gambit who has unlocked his full potential. As an Omega class mutant, he has incredible powers, having defeated the Dark Phoenix by himself. The New Sun has tremendous mastery of space (but not time), possessing the ability to travel to various universes to prevent other versions of him from ever unlocking their full powers, as well as peering into them. He is capable of controlling kinetic energy down to the molecular level, tapping into anything's potential energy to make it explode, and stop an enemy's motion, or conversely for him to keep moving for as long as he wishes, as well as duplicate various other types of energy (such as causing extreme cold by lowering the amount of kinetic energy in an area).
