Today, another mighty Marvel melee is on the way, as Devin Lewis' legendary web-head faces off against Annalise Bissa's telepathic titan...

Spider-Man vs. Jean Grey

Not only did the editors nominate their own gladiators, they've also laid out exactly why you should be on their side! Here's the throwdown for the fiery phenom...

Jean Grey!

"Spider-Man is strong, Spider-Man is agile, and Spider-Man is fast. He’s fast like a spider that you’re trying to swat with something. But you know what’s faster than a spider? THOUGHT ITSELF. The bell rings starting this battle and Jean only has to THINK about Spider-Man surrendering and the only question of speed is how fast he can make a white flag out of those webs of his. When Jean Grey thinks she’s gonna win the fight, she’s already won the fight. Sorry, Spidey."

And here's the response on behalf of...

Spider-Man!

"A battle of mental warfare...what an unexpected advantage for young Peter Parker! I know what you’re thinkingthat’s Jean’s forte, but let’s not forget the mental toughness of a kid who has to commute every day to school on a New York City subway! Peter isn’t waking up in a mansion every day to stroll to classhe’s dodging confused tourists, subway performers, and a biology book's worth of germs on the DAILY. Now that's mental fortitude!

"Next stop on this train full of families visiting from Iowa, terrible banjo players, the common cold, and a kid named Pete? The semifinals. Next stop after that? The championship. And the next stop after that? Gowanus.

"Sorry, Jeanmuch like the MTA, your hopes of winning are experiencing significant delays."
