Alright, while I am currently slacking on my Poison Ivy feature*, I've got an idea to keep this alive for the time being. You give me two superheroes/villains from any company, and I shall decide who would win in a fight.
I will endeavor to make sure that my decision makes as much sense as can be expected considering inconsistencies in continuity, is articulated enough to be interesting, and is a least mildly entertaining. I might even do my own little mini-story to describe the battle, but no promises. I am lazy, after all.
Any combination of superheroes and/or villains is acceptable, even non-heroes/villains if you really want, just so long as they are in superhero comic continuity (f.ex. Lois Lane v. Mary Jane Watson catfight). If you want specialty match-ups, like who is stronger between the Hulk and Superman, rather than who would just win in a fight (cause we all know it would probably being ****ing Superman anyway), or a dance off between Spider-Man and Nightcrawler, or whatever, I will do my best. Just, keep it to one-on-one for now, though I might have team battles, like the X-Men v. the Avengers, if I decide I'm having enough fun with this.

* I'm well into it with the Ivy entries, but to take the next step I'm going to have to read almost the last twenty issues of the original Suicide Squad series, and I haven't even read issue #1 yet. That's gonna be a serious pain in the tuchus, especially since she'll only be a supporting character, probably with very few stories focusing on her.
Unfortunately though, the series has the fourth largest amount of appearances from Ivy (18) -- after Batman (30), Gotham City Sirens (25), and Detective Comics (20) -- and they're mostly consecutive, which means it's by far her highest concentration of appearances, after Gotham City Sirens (which will likely require a few separate entries all its own, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN READ THAT EITHER!!!)
And that's not even counting her part in No Man's Land (which sounds like one of her most interesting storylines ever), her two graphic novels, the numerous issues expanding on her origins that I still need to get through, her animated appearances (which are easily some of her best portrayals, and simply cannot be ignored), a smattering of stuff from the regular Batman series, and then of course her appearances in Birds of Prey from the New 52.
I'm quickly discovering that this is a project with at least as much scope as TH's Metal Month or Tom Waits discography. Thank god I didn't start with the Joker.
