Since Disney owns Marvel now, I am surprised we have not yet seen any crossovers similar to the DC vs Warner Bros comics done a while back. The Warner Bros characters pretty much owned DC in those encounters.
I figure Disney characters are OK here, since there is no Disney forum and the Disney characters have a long and continuous comic history (longer than Marvel) going back to the early 30s, with a number of the characters appearing in the comics first. Disney Comics also have a creator of similar status to someone like Lee or Kirby over at Marvel: writer/artist Carl Barks developed Donald Duck and created Scrooge McDuck; Comic's Journal's list of 100 top comics of all time includes a couple of his stories; he is in the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame; and one of his comic scenes inspired one of the most famous scenes of Raiders of the Lost Ark (no, it's not the bit where the Nazis are all violently killed by the Ark). When he died aged 99 his passing was big news in Europe but barely covered in the US.
Also, on thinking about Disney, and after a few beers, I noticed strong resemblances or parallels between some of the Disney and Marvel characters (though the Disney characters long predate most of their Marvel counterparts). So a VS battle seemed in order.
The lineup:
1) Howard the Duck vs Donald Duck
2) Mickey Mouse vs Vermin
3) Bug vs Jiminy Cricket
4) Kingpin's thugs vs the Beagle Boys
5) Sentry (non-void) vs Super Goof (fully powered up)
6) Longshot vs Gladstone Gander
7) Morgan Le Fay vs Magica De Spell
8) Clarabelle Cow vs Hellcow aka Bessie the Vampire Cow
9) Lockjaw vs Pluto
10) Vision vs Pinocchio
11) Peter Pan vs Northstar
12) Chip 'n Dale vs Squirrel Girl
For some reason I actually didn't think of that one. But I was trying to avoid using characters adapted by Disney from other sources - I only included Pinocchio and Peter Pan because those matchups were just too obvious!
Anyone else watch the Howard the duck movie?... I vote Donald on that basis alone.

The sum of Scrooge's wealth is very controversial.[13] According to Barks' The Second Richest Duck as noted by a TIME article, Scrooge is worth one multiplujillion, nine obsquatumatillion, six hundred twenty-three dollars and sixty-two cents.[14] In the DuckTales episode Liquid Assets, Fenton Crackshell (Scrooge's accountant) notes that McDuck's money bin contains 607 tillion 386 zillion 947 trillion 522 billion dollars and 36 cents. Don Rosa's the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck notes that Scrooge amounts to five multiplujillion, nine impossibidillion, seven fantasticatrillion dollars and sixteen cents. In 2007, Forbes listed his wealth at a much more modest $28.8 billion.[15] One website used the size of Scrooge's Money Bin as a basis and calculated that it could contain over $27 trillion.[16] Barks himself has said that the fortune is five billion quintiplitilion unptuplatillion multuplatillion impossibidillion fantasticatrillion dollars. Whatever the amount, Scrooge never considers it enough: he has to continue to earn money by any means possible.
considering stark is a billionaire.. and scrooges lowest estimated value is 28 billion ... yeah...
