Battle of the Week: Green Arrow vs. Bullseye

Our latest Character of the Month, Oliver Queen, a.k.a. Green Arrow, has defeated both of the challengers we threw his way. He took a comfortable majority against Black Widow and barely earned a victory against Elektra, but will Bullseye be the first opponent to bring him down? Oliver's known for his variety of projectiles, but will it be enough to save him against the deadly and unforgiving marksman from Marvel? What do you think would happen if these two accurate combatants got into a fight? Read all of the rules below (they're important, so don't be a slacker and skip them), think it through, and then cast your vote. You have until early Friday (ET) to make up your mind, so that's more than enough time to vote and then support your decision in the comments section. Now, go read the rules and then give this match a good amount of thought before picking a winner!

Match Rules

• Combatants are in character.
• This is a random encounter (aka no prep for either side).
• Bullseye has an assortment of bladed weapons (daggers, shurikens, throwing knives).
• Green Arrow has his New 52 gear. For simplicity's sake, let's say pre-52 feats are applicable.
• They're fighting in a generic downtown city setting. It's unpopulated, at night and all standard city lights remain on. Assume they start roughly 50 feet apart and visible. However, there is a good amount of cover in the location (parked vehicles, bus stops and such) and the entire area is on limits (alleys, rooftops, building interiors, the sewer, etc).
• Incapacitation, knockout or death all count as elimination. Making a tactical retreat counts as a loss, too. "What's a tactical retreat?" It's leaving the fight with the intention of not returning to the battle in the immediate future. Going to another spot in the environment to catch your breath for a moment or two or for a tactical advantage is not a tactical retreat.
• Hey, you know what would be really cool? Treating everyone else in the debate with respect. If you think someone's saying something that just isn't true, go ahead and stick to the facts to point out why. There's no need at all to drop insults just because you disagree with someone. Seriously, this is just talking about a fictional fight, there's no need for immaturity and mudslinging.
• If you think the poll isn't going how it should, making an informative post about why a character is being underestimated and spreading the word is far more useful than complaining. Just saying.
• One more thing: you don't need to write an essay to have your post highlighted in Friday's article. Sometimes concise posts can be way more effective than a flood of paragraphs.

Check the homepage this Friday for an updated article with the following:

• Thoughts from the staff.
• Viner Arguments for both characters.
• If we're lucky, blurbs from industry talent.
