Elemental Who Would Win!

Violentvixen

(She/Her)
Almost Brilliant a helpful know-it-all smartass bird known in the lore of the Singing Hills novella series as a Neixin. Neixin are a special type of hoopoe who not only can speak but remember everything they hear and are used to archive the world. She's a great character with a real bond to the main character we follow through the book, the monk Chih.

She is on the cover of the first book and she and other neixin are on the cover of the 4th book.

Lazy repost, but basically Almost Brilliant has access to most known human knowledge AND bird knowledge and also has been recorded as having sharp claws and beak like a typical bird. She's definitely dive bombed and attacked people and I'm pretty sure her claws have drawn blood in the books? She wins this.

And Mothra.

I could be contrarian here, but my first inclination was that the wings have this round, and I'll stick to that.

The Invisible Woman

VS

The Thing

This definitely must have happened at one point. Multiple times. It’s Marvel Comics; every hero had to fight every other hero due to misunderstanding or difference of opinion at one point. But in all honesty, none come to mind. @Octo has read more FF than me so perhaps he can cite precedent.

All the same, this would be a big fight. Any fight between FF members are but both parties have both heavy defense and offense power. In the Thing’s case, a mix of a heavy hide and a never say die attitude means for even really strong fighters, The Thing is an extremely formidable opponent and one hard to take down. Meanwhile, the Invisible Woman has power force fields that have repelled very powerful enemy attacks which can also be shaped to trap or disable enemies. In addition, she can also turn invisible. She’s also been trained in unarmed combat by Iron Fist, the Thing and She-Hulk and though she couldn’t punch out the Thing, she does has an understanding of how a hand-to-hand combatant functions.

Fourth Card

Pazuzu ................................................VS .........................Titan


It’s deity vs deity. A heroic demon (kind of) vs. a somewhat neutral one. Both of very strongly tied to their elements and can do some real damage to their opponents. Note that in this battle, both are at one loss, meaning the next one that goes down goes down for good!

I think his aerial nature is going to give Pazuzu an edge in that matchup, unless Titan can manage to quickly and accurately hurl some boulders at his flying opponent as a means of offense. If not then Titan will most likely have to wait until Pazuzu lands before the T can counterattack.
 

Purple

(She/Her)
I think Invisible Woman has had way more power creep and also can take someone out of a fight non-violently so canonically more than likely comes out on top.

And we're talking about the Final Fantasy Titan, whose whole deal is making the ground give way under you and you're immune if you're flying? As Pazuzu does?

Pazuzu beats Titan by simple typing logic, yeah. Mister T here doesn't have anything to counteract his inherent disadvantage.

The Thing is strong, yes, but the Invisible Woman's kit is exactly what you'd need if you wanted to have the power to outsmart the guy.
 

Kirin

(he/him)
I’m pretty sure Titan has been known to throw rocks at things in some of the more cinematic entries where it’s not limited to a single move… but I’m still not sure that’d be enough to take out Pazuzu unless he took it by surprise, which seems unlikely in a tournament context. I don’t think I have any strong enough argument to go against consensus on these.
 

Olli

(he/him)
I wonder - since Ben and Sue are teammates then would they choose an alternate method of determining the winner?
If it comes down to non-physical skills, Sue wins for sure. She's the FF's ace in the hole.

As for the gods/demons, yeah, Pazuzu just feels right.
 

Johnny Unusual

(He/Him)
Invisible Woman Vs. Thing is a Hell of a match but I think that Sue would be smart enough not to use her force fields in power vs power but using it to stop any attack from gaining momentum and holding him so he can't get the leverage to free himself.

Titan's power doesn't hit enemies with float and he disappears after doing his attack so Pazuzu.
