The 1st Marvel/DC Martial Arts Tournament continues to amaze and impress! Beginning with 32 of the best Marvel/DC martial artists, we are now down to 4 Marvel and 4 DC fighters in the quarter-finals. Congratulations to the fans and their fighters who dominated their opponents or just managed to edge the victory. The tournament is heating up and it's time the fighters get serious!

Before I present to you the remaining fighters and their matches for the quarter-finals, please take time to read the following tournament rules if you have not already done so or to reaccquaint yourself with them:

Tournament Rules (***PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHEN CONSIDERING THE WINNER OF EACH FIGHT):
1. Fighters will battle using hand-to-hand combat ONLY.
2. Fighters are NOT allowed to use ANY artificial means of improving his/her chances of winning a fight. This includes mutant powers (energy blasts, telepathy/telekinesis, intangibilty, healing, etc.), weapons and any items capable of augmenting strength, speed, fighting ability, etc.
3. Any fights that may call for an exception to Rule #2 will be decided by myself and fully explained in the post for that fight.
4. Fighters will battle in their default costumes, thus they will not have any more armor than they regularly do.
5. The fights will take place on a raised rectangular platform that is a little less than the size of a regulation basketball court, so the fighters will have more than enough room to fight.
6. A fighter can win in 1 of 2 ways: (1) Battle until the opponent says, "I give up" (2) Knock the opponent off the platform
7. Always keep Rules 1 and 2 in mind. The tournament's purpose is to determine the character who fights best when given nothing else.
8. VOTE in the polls! The only way your favorite fighter can advance is if you vote for him/her. If you only comment, but don't vote, the poll cannot tell the difference. Also, the polls will allow MULTIPLE selections, so only vote for who you think is the winner of each PAIRED fight. I will finalize the results for each round after about a day from the first posts for each round.

THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING AND I HOPE YOUR FIGHTER IS CROWNED THE CHAMPION!

Here are the remaining 4 Marvel fighters and the matches they've been paired to according to their previous slot number. The winners of Slot 1&2 will battle each other in the Marvel semi-final. The 4 remaining DC fighters are posted in another thread.

1. Elektra vs Temugin - Temugin is NOT allowed to use his rings in this fight

2. Shang Chi vs Iron Fist - Iron Fist is NOT allowed to summon his chi through his hands in this fight

Iron Fist's iron fist is the RESULT of his training. It's not something he was born with. It doesn't seem fair that he wouldn't be able to use an attack he trained and developed naturally. That's like saying Shang Chi can't use his super, mega, unblockable dragon kick...

No way Iron Fist wins without it. And he shouldn't have to.
