Sorry for being late, folks – we had some network problems for most of the day and just now got everyone back online.

To make up for it, and because this one is fairly simple, you get a breakdown with this post.

Iron Fist opens up with some crazy-ass kung-fu combos, hitting Red Tornado faster than the eye can see. The man’s like a whirlwind! Rand charges up his Iron Fist chi shit and punches Reddy in the chest so hard that the Tornado is actually dented.

Tornado looks at Danny and Danny knows he done fucked up. Red Tornado knocks Rand across the arena with one punch and then shows Iron Fist what a real whirlwind is all about. He creates a wind funnel around Iron Fist and sucks all the air out of Danny’s lungs, making him pass out. The fight is pretty much over at this point, but Red Tornado knows it’s going to cost a fortune for the body shop to get this dent out of his chest and he’s taking that money out of Iron Fist’s ass. The funnel spins faster and faster until it creates a vacuum, making the external pressure on Rand’s body much lower than the internal pressure.

Iron Fist explodes and it takes the cleaning crew all week to clean up the Iron Guts.

As you may have guessed, Red Tornado won last week with authority.

Here are our standings.

AJ (still from the vicious, vicious Civil Blitzkrieg) maintains his lead with three points for picking Martian Manhunter, Thor, and Red Tornado as winners and eight bonus points for posts on the ViewAskew boards and his Myspace page, for a total of eleven points!

RJP of Between The Staples is hanging strong for someone so frequently wrong with 2 points for his faith in Batman and Red Tornado and eight bonus points for four posts each on Between the Staples and his facebook account, for a total of ten points.

Midknight is right on their tails with three points for supporting Batman, Thor, and Red Tornado and four bonus points for posts on his ComicVine blog and one more bonus point for helping Mike with his search for a batboat for a total of eight points.

Xers has moved up to fourth place with three points for picking Martian Manhunter, Thor, and Red Tornado and two bonus points for posts on Black Planet and Cre8Buzz, for a total of five points

Patrick D. has dropped to fifth place with two points for his faith in Batman and Martian Manhunter and two bonus points for posts on his blog and twitter for a total of four points!

Weston is in sixth place with three points for believing in Martian Manhunter, Thor, and Red Tornado

DougFungus is standing in seventh with two points for backing Batman and The Red Tornado

Finally, in eighth place, Naimad89 has one point for supporting Batman in his week one victory.

As in every previous week, bonus points are making a difference – make sure you pick up an advantage by telling all your friends about this contest and letting me know about the pimpage!

Once again, here are the current standings:

1st place: AJ – 11 points

2nd place: RJP – 10 points

3rd place: MidKnight – 8 points

4th place: Xers- 5 points

5th place: Patrick D. – 4 points

6th place: Weston – 3 points

7th placeDougfungus – 2 points

This week, we have Booster Gold’s technology vs Captain America’s awesome levels of bad-assery! For clarification’s sake, Skeet has been barred from the arena and we’ve resurrected Steve Rogers for one last whoop-ass session.

I have my favorite, but who’s yours? Head over to Panels of Awesome to vote in the poll (and drop Mike a comment or two, he likes those) and then head back over here to tell me who you voted for and why. As in all first round battles, correct predictions get a point and confirmed incidents of spreading the word about our little tournament get bonus points.

Let’s get this party started.
