Thor vs Storm, Iron Man vs Magneto. Marvel, WTF?


If you haven’t been paying attention to comic books in recent months, Marvel’s big event for 2012 is Avengers vs X-Men. That’s right, for the first time in the House of Ideas‘ history we’re going to see a full fledged battle between Earth’s Mightiest and the Children of the Atom. Well, as long as you ignore that whole House of M fiasco a few years ago, and those little scuffles during Onslaught, and of course the great Asgardian War. But besides all of those times, this is the first definitive battle between these heroes!!!

To headline this war, Marvel has released a ton of teaser images for their top duels, but if these pictures are accurate, then I’m left with one confusion filled question…Marvel, WTF? Iron Man vs. Magneto? Thor vs. Storm? Do these match ups make sense to anyone else?

On one side, we have an armor-clad superhero in a fight with the Master of Magnetism. You know, as in he’s able to control magnetic waves. A man who can control every type of metal in a life or death struggle against a man in a metal suit. I wonder who’s gonna win?  Well, I guess it makes a little sense now that I’ve thought about it…nope, still don’t understand it.

Marvel’s released another teaser image featuring Storm vs Thor. Really? Storm against Thor? I love Ororo as much as the next guy, but pitting her against Thor is a stretch. Now, I know she’s had a bit of success in recent years against some of her more Cosmic powered opponents (I’m looking at you Silver Surfer), but this battle still doesn’t make much sense. Am I wrong?

What do you guys think? Sound off below.


 

And here’s a more realistic bout that I didn’t think warranted a rant: Black Widow vs. Psylocke
