Monday Night Matchup: Bane vs. Deathstroke

Hello, my fellow nerdlings! It has certainly been awhile since we’ve had our last Monday Night Matchup. (Had to give all these fantastic heroes and villains a little bit of recovery time, ya know?) Well, we are BACK! This time it’s time to try something a litttttle bit different. But first, a quick recap, shall we?

So far you have voted via social media that Oliver Queen would take the crown versus Hawkeye. You voted that Captain America would beat Batman. Thor was voted to beat out Superman. Deathstroke killed The Winter Soldier. Sara beat Natasha by the mere single digits. Atom squashed Ant-Man in the final tally. Ghost Rider blazed past John Constantine for the win. Wonder Woman came out on top with a victory over Lady Sif. Deathstroke dominated once again against Frank CastleDare Devil pulled ahead of Green Arrow in a no-weapons melee match. Thor squashed the almighty Wonder Woman in an extremely close match. Colossus smashed Bane for a drastic victory. Deadshot out-shot Bullseye for an incredible victory. Katana sliced into Elektra for a brutal victory. Gandalf the White defeated Dumbledore in the greatest wizard battle ever held. Damien Darhk pulled ahead of Magneto is a villainous battle. Hawkman flew right past Archangel for a glorious victory. Negan beat out The Governor in a brutal match. Sara Lance bested Elektra in a grave assassins battle. Green Arrow got the best of the Avenger Captain America. Our recent battle was EXTREMELY close, with Luke Cage pulling ahead of Superman by just a few votes. Cammy White beasted the almighty Sonya in a combative match.

How about we do something alittle different this week? We try two DC villains out against each other? It was a debate I’ve been having with both my brother and my boyfriend, as a matter of fact. Bane vs. Deathstroke. Let’s break this down just a little… they’re both genetically enhanced individuals and they never, ever quit. Tom Hardy recently portrayed Bane in the movie The Dark Knight RisesManu Bennet  recently portrayed Deathstroke in the hit CW series Arrow. 

If these two villains were to face off in a death match, who would win!? Place your votes here!
