I think we're all a bit tired of the usual two (or more) guys in a warehouse and they face off Movie Vs fights, so here's something different that requires a bit of creativity:
1) Pick an actor
2) Pick three characters this actor has portrayed in film
3) Pick two(only two) powers, abilities, feats, gear or skills to add to your fighters roster. ie if you pick Christopher Reeves and Superman as one character, you don't get all of Superman's abilities, pick invulnerability and flight or super-speed and heatray eyes etc.
4) All abilities, powers skills, gear or feats MUST be useful, ie Achilles' sexy looks doesn't count unless it can effectively turn the fight.
5) All weakness are taken, for all three characters. Similar ones stack, if applicable.
6) You get more "cool points" by being creative and making the opponent not easily "stomp" the opposition. ie the more equal in overall power your character is while still being able to pull a win is best.
7) Fights take place in a large abandoned military base, imagine lots of open spaces and large buidlings close to each other. You can change it to what you like, if need be, use descretion.
I'll start, try and make a character that can just barely best mine (or a following posters).
Patrick Stewart:
Xavier (Xmen)- Mutant mind control abilities(would not include mind-raping etc by default) and wheelchair.
Jean Luc Picard (Star Trek)- Phaser and tactical prowess.
Gurney Halleck (Dune) - Fighting skills and personal energy shield.
Of Note, Xavier's cripple status would be a weakness I take with me.
Xavier had only the mind control aspect, not his "I destroy all with a thought." Your use of Magneto with helm (was a great move BTW) already countered my guys best ability, so Death was clear overkill. Should have used Richard III and taken his gun and evil cunning.
1. Darth Tyranus (Star Wars) - Force Lightning and Lightsaber
2. Saurumon (LOTR) - Telekenesis and Magic Staff
3. Fransisco Scaramanga (The Man With the Golden Gun) - Insane Gun Accuracy and Golden Gun

1. Megatron (Transformers) - Flight and Transformer-like abilities
2. Agent Smith (The Matrix Trilogy) - Bullettime Stats and Cloning
3. V (V For Vendetta) - Intelligence and Speed
Re: Re: Designer Vs Characters fight, LET IT BEGIN!
Not bad, I had the first two in mind. I probably would have went with....
- Healing Factor and Adamantium Claws
- Van Helsing - Skills and Lycanthrope Transformation
- Robert Angier (Clever third choice btw) - Tesla's Machine and skills
While a pretty cool combination, I don't think it could overcome Xavier's mind control. Wolvie does have telepathic resistance, but I don't think anyone would dare speculate that it is at Xavier's level.
Yeah, really the only obstacle I saw was Professor X. I know that comic Wolvie's got psychic scar tissue up the whazoo that makes him practically immune to telepathy, but I wasn't sure how much of that had carried over to the movies.
As for Van Helsing, he was pretty much the very next choice that popped into my head, and if I had really thought about it (not going to make changes now) I should have let him have Lycan form and healing factor, since they are technically two seperate abilities.
As for Angier, I'll admit while I had thought about it already, he was also something of an afterthought, as I wasn't sure what other movies of Hugh's I could utilize, but his unique abilities with sleight of hand and illusions, as well as the potential from the Tesla theories, made him what I though to be a viable choice.

David Dunn (Unbreakable dude).... Hes super, b*tches, and he seems to be nearly as invulnerable as McClane.
And Dr. Malcolm Crowe, the dead dude from Sixth Sense. The ability to not be seen by the most of the living sometimes would be an advantage defensively and offensively.
You're just shaking your self dry at the urinal, then BAM!
Willis snaps your neck suddenly and re-disappears..!
You're passing the gravy over to your nan as shes round on Boxing day.... BAM!!!!!!!
Willis materialises, pumps both you and your grandmother full of lead and disappears to safety again.
The possibilities are endless.

Re: Re: Designer Vs Characters fight, LET IT BEGIN!
You followed the rules perfectly.
Wolverine's mind resistance wasn't really shown. But the illusions could potentially gimp Xavier's mind control, can't say for sure. Not a bad combo really, as you have an A-level healing factor and a great speed, agility and durability combo. Plus a potential army of clones, all casting illusions for further confusion.
This would be a good one versus the Magneto-Gandalf-Richard III or the Yu Law-Nameless-Emperor Han.
