Welcome to the seventh round of the first ever Vs. Tournament!
Over the coming weeks we here at the Vs. Institute will be pitting two well-known superheroes against each other and letting you determine the outcome.
If you're just joining us, check out the winners so far:
I'll leave the final four fights of the first round up through October, so if you're not sure on who to vote for, hold off for a while and see what everone else has to say. And if you are sure who to vote for, put forth your best arguement as to why.
I'll bet this one might be controversal, so let's get right into the set-up (and if you'd like to write a future set-up let me know by PM).
“You’re my guardian angel,” the old woman said as Peter Patrelli wheeled her into the back of his ambulance.
He thought of her face when he emerged from the side exit of the hospital and looked up at the 6 foot red and gold robotic man staring down at him.
He wondered where his guardian angel was right about then.
“Peter Patrelli?” it said with a mechanical voice.
“Nope, I think he’s still in there.” Peter side-stepped and sneered up at the thing. He threw his duffle bag higher on his shoulder and walked past him.
“No need to lie to me, Peter. I just got your retinal scan, voice recognition, face recognition, and I’m analyzing the DNA of the spittle that hit my chest as we speak. Got it.”
Peter turned around. “What is that you want?”
“I’m Iron Man. Me and some associates had some talks with your brother a few months ago--”
“He’s not in this kind of business anymore.” Peter turned around and continued walking toward the busy street. Behind him he could hear some mechanical apparatus whirring to life. The alley lit up with a light blue glow.
“I’m picking up where he left off. I’m giving you the same choice he did. Register with us, or I’m going to have to take you down.”
Peter turned around toward the iron man again. “Haven’t we done this enough?”
Peter’s expression softened and his mouth fell open. The light that filled the alleyway was coming from two discs of energy embedded within the palms of the other man. As their whirring sped up Peter could feel waves of heat radiating from them. He decided it wouldn’t be a good idea to see what they could do.
So he disappeared.
He ran as fast as he could, which was pretty fast at the moment. Superspeed wouldn’t help against this guy for long. He’d have to think of someone he could pay a visit on.
“Damn it.” Ironman put his arms at his sides and rocketed into the sky.
“Looks like we’re doing this the hard way. Locate objects going faster than the speed of sound in a 20 mile radius.” The computer systems in his armor began pointing at possible targets and their trajectories.
Peter Patrelli sort of reminds me of Synch of Generation X. To be honest, Synch was a pretty cool character with the potential to be very powerfull. That said, I just don't see either Synch nor Peter being able to defeat Iron Man. Iron Man is one of the stronger heroes of the Marvel Universe. I would think he could win this one easily. However if someone more familar with the Heroes show might be able to come up with a reasonable arguement for why Peter can win this one then I'm willing to listen. It's that lack of knowledge of the TV show that gets me to delay my vote for now.
Easily Iron Man. He's dealt with speedsters before, he's got too much equipment and prep for pretty much anything to be taken down by Peter.
Plus, as has been discussed multiple times in the Heroes: Season 3 thread, Peter is an IDIOT.

A card game about Presidents. Stabbing each other. With knives.
Asking out a girl is like trying to cast a first turn Necropotence. Sometimes the other player will have the Force of Will to say no. You shouldn't let that stop you from trying it.
As it stands, this fight is a little unfair for our young hero. I would have rather seen Peter in a less lop-sided fight, but it's all random so there isn't much to be done about it.
Peter is an idiot. Tony Stark is not. If you gave Peter all his powers, he would still lose because he's an idiot. He's also kind of a wimp, and I couldn't see him doing the dirty work. He'd never kill Ironman, even if he was capable, and Ironman would just capture him eventually.
Now if it was Sylar vs Ironman, I'd be more interested. I think he'd actually take Ironman down pretty quickly.

That aside, definitely Iron Man. I really don't think even pre power loss Peter would be able to compete.

As for this one hands down Iron Man. He got the brains and the skills to win this with out even a sweat.
Also I too suprised a character from my favorite show made it, but to me I of chose Hiro over Peter for the tourney.
Pinkie is the Best!
