They're popularity contests. Go look at the cyber vs deathstroke vs spiderman thread.
Deathstroke is supposedly fast enough and calculating enough to deal with the flash. (there is a thread with scans from a fight in another thread.
and tyet spiderman is ahead in the poles?

I'm saying that the opinions of many are not to be taken as evidence. Merely that which they are opinions.

It is. People think that democracy if fair but it's really not, its the wants of the majority outweighing the wants and needs of the minority.

Of course I would, I argue against the polls who ever the two characters are. Doesn't matter to me in the slightest.

No, just because it's ad populem.

Each one was for the individual fight. Otherwise Hulk would have beaten superman, Jubilee robin. etc. etc. .
