WOTM R8: Voyager vs Bacon

[JAGzilla]

One critical factor that has to be accounted for here is that this is specifically the Magneto featured in the first three X-Men movies, not the younger one from the flashback trilogy. Yeah, young Magneto pulled off all kinds of aggressive, flashy stunts in his movies, but old Magneto did not. He's still deadly as hell if he tries to be, but he is a bit on the sluggish, passive side, often preferring to talk rather than fight, and not very mobile in combat. I don't see him flying around or immediately turning a bridge into a hailstorm of metal shards, for example. Things like targeting Iron Man's armor or stealing/crushing the lightsabers are more likely. He'll definitely incapacitate or at least disarm some of Voyager's crew before someone hits him, but in this specific battle he's not likely to be that serious a powerhouse. Put him in a metal-heavy environment like the Helicarrier and he might be more inclined to go big and dramatic up front, but not here.

The battlefield hurts the Spideys, too, giving them little to swing from, and their webs won't stick to snow. Again, put them in Times Square and they could take on an army, but here they're not in top form.

With an unfavorable environment hampering Bacon's heaviest hitters and Voyager having a solid combination of numbers, power, skill, and teamwork, I think Voyager narrowly scrapes the win here.

I have six pages of arguments on why I think Bacon would edge out over Voyager, so long as Magneto does his thing and gets rid of the heavier hitters. Which he probably would and wouldn’t give a care for them cause they are human and not mutants. He’d probably cooperate with the Spider-Men, as they are always mistaken for mutants due to their powers.

If not for Magneto, Saber would have swept Bacon's team off the map.

[Voyager]

Voyager.

But my chances of winning here are just a burning memory…

There was a lot of back and forth, and I do think this is a close vs, but Magneto's ability to cripple Anakin, Obi-Wan or Saber means their lethality is crippled when they need it most. Even with the support, I give the slight edge to Bacon.
