Yeah, I missed that one. :/
Without going too off-topic, knowing how much Kraven relishes a challenge, I'm surprised he hasn't gone after the likes of the Lizard. Why only superheroes? Surely he'd relish the chance to take on Lizard?

Oh yeah. I automatically think of the blue, furry version whenever I think of the Beast. Even in this discussion of the original X-Men. Well, how about a rematch?

My memories of Prof X and the Original X-Men are a bit fuzzy.
Before all the hideous retcons and character betrayals at the hands of writers, how strong was Prof X's moral center compared to his power level - what's the extent he'd go to in a combat situation when using his powers?

Ronald Joseph - if my memory serves, Professor X tapped the entire mental set of humanity to battle off the Z'nox. So a ninety pound weakling he was not. As for morals... hard to say. After the fact that he was a good guy, he did what was necessary to win - and he played dead, convincing the X-Men he had passed, in order to prepare for a battle. But it was Marvel in the 60s... how many moral turns were there?

Since we're going for one on ones, rather than bring Professor X into the field I say we dip into the very brief period where the Mimic was part of the team. So my match-ups:
The Mimic vs. Mysterio
Beast vs. Kraven
Angel vs. Vulture
Iceman vs. Sandman
Marvel Girl vs. Electro
Cyclops vs. Dr. Octopus
Good guys win, of course. :-)

I see the individual match ups working in the villains favor. They're really just a bunch of solo dudes, no team players. The X-men lose a lot when broken up. I think one of their top advantages is teamwork. Using their powers in unison. Anyhow, as laid out I'll still go with the X-men to win.

Seeing as the Sinister Six probably would not play by the rules, they would send Kraven in ahead using his incredible hunting stealth to sneak up behind X and neutralize him. Since Kraven does not have any super powers (originally) the good Professor would not be able to sense him coming.The rest of the battle ; Vulture v. Angel- I'm ok with a good dog fight. Beast v. Electro- Hank with his intelligence in tact will figure it out. Marvel Girl v. Mysterio- Fun one Cyclops v. Sandman- Maybe Scott's optic blasts can turn him to glass. Iceman v. Dr. Octopus - I'd like to see this ,has it ever happened? The X-men win in a two parter !

Scott's beams aren't hot; their effects are concussive.

This thread makes me think of all the stories that HAVEN'T been done! And all the stories that have been done to death!
