And for the second time, Spider-Man goes down. I don’t think he’ll be getting up again. Moon Knight has a chance, but boy did that look like it hurt.
Lockjaw isn’t looking too spiffy either, and with Magneto back on the board, I put his chances at somewhere between ‘none’ and ‘pfft.’
However, this means that we are one KO from endgame. Unless y’all hold at a standstill until Sunday, say hello to our finalists.
I am betting on a fast one being pulled, though. I’m so excited!

You know, about a month ago, I would have sworn Moon Knight would be in the finals. And I never expected Mastermind to be here at all.
”Hey, I know I was immune and everything…but a near-unanimous takedown of me? That hurts, guys!”
Suck it up, buttercup, you’re in the finals.
Speaking of….ahem…
WELCOME TO THE MARVEL HEAL/HURT SEMIFINALS!!
It’s been a long journey fraught with peril, death, and mind-shattering levels of pure awesome, but here we are. And here are our finalists!!
Coming in from an era passed, but not soon forgotten, the Master of Magnetism, the Mutant Protector, the Leader of the Brotherhood of evil Morally Ambiguous Mutants…
MAGNETO!
From the same field, if not the same court, comes a man with the power of illusion, who brainwashed the Phoenix and held the X-Men in the grip of semi-terror…
THE MYSTERIOUS MASTERMIND!
Swinging in from the streets of New York (after leaving whatever cloning lab he was born in), it’s he who some call the replacement, but every bit as heroic and deadly as the Wall-Crawler himself…
SCARLET SPIDER!
And last, but most certainly not least, a mutant with power over the laws of probability themselves! The disassembler of the Avenegrs, the creator of the House of M, and the bane of any who oppose her…
SCARLET WITCH!
You know our competitors, ladies and gentlemen. And now, the opportunity comes to let YOU decide who will reign supreme, as the ultimate champion of the Marvel Universe! …This week!
The semifinalists will be divided randomly into two rings. Each player gets a heal and hurt vote for each ring. If you heal one semifinalist in a ring, you are assumed to have hurt the other, and vice versa.
The winner of each ring will enter into the finals to duke it out for the crown, while the graceful losers will fight in the pits to determine the line between Bronze Medal and honorable mention.
Ring 1:
Spoiler
SCARLET SPIDER
VS
SCARLET WITCH
Ring 2:
Spoiler
MAGNETO
VS
MASTERMIND
And now…the moment we’ve ALL been waiting for…
LET THE SEMIFINALS BEGIN!

Well this is a very interesting turn of events. Let’s start with the easy stuff; Magneto has passed into the Finals by a fairly wide margin, and Mastermind will have to content himself with duking it out against the third place competitor.
Now, here’s where it gets wacky. As some of you may have already noticed, as it stands, both Scarlet Spider and Scarlet Witch tied exactly for heals and hurts. While it would be interesting to have a three-way-battle in the finals, that’s not how the game works. Thusly, it falls to our special guest star, Mr. RNG, to dictate the second finalist.
And the lucky contestant is….Scarlet Wi-! Wait, Scarlet Witch? On, now this is even better than I had dared to hope. We have ourselves a familial grudge match, ladies and gentlemen. And so! The final rounds stands thus!
In the first Ring, fighting for the glory of ages and mastery of…this tiny section of the planet!
Mistress of Hex Power and Smokin’ Hot Magic Chick…
SCARLET WITCH!
Her contender is a man who takes few prisoners, brooks no opposition, and will let nothing, not even his own daughter, stand between him and victory! The Master of Magnetism…
MAGNETO!
In the second ring, two no less capable individuals are fighting for their own glory! The decision of third place goes to you, players, and here are our fighters!
Clone of Peter Parker and costumed superhero extraordinaire…
SCARLET SPIDER!
Against him, the illusion-casting villain that lives up to his name…
MASTERMIND!
Ring 1:
Spoiler
MAGNETO
VS
SCARLET WITCH
Ring 2:

MASTERMIND

SCARLET SPIDER
Now, without any further ado, in the conclusion of this epic battle…
LET THE FINAL BEGIN!

Before I post the results, I want to let it be known that once again, a Heal/Hurt experience has been an incredible journey for me. I didn't have particularly high expectations, but all of you blew me away. So the real win goes to the players.
After all, without you, there wouldn't be a final to resolve.
So, without further ado, the results! Let me tell you, by golly I don't think there's ever been such a curbstomp around these parts. Both the first and third place wins were virtually and completely uncontested, respectively, and deserved, if I do say so.
The Results:
First Place: MAGNETO
Second Place: SCARLET WITCH
Third Place: MASTERMIND
Honorable MentionThat One Loser: SCARLET SPIDER
Gotta say, I kind of expected the real Spidey to make the cut, but then again if there's one thing this H/H has taught me it's that I am unprepared.
For those of you wondering, this isn't the end of my H/H reign by any means; I'll be starting up an old one soon, and the realms will tremble! Sort of.
But am I gonna let you all get away with just some words and a final scoreboard? Nahhhh!
Spoiler
Thunder rumbles across the gray expanse of sky. Tiny droplets of rain, tumbling from their perches as last, fall down upon the barren plain.
A sorceress, a mutant, glances up at the rainfall, and smirks. It was very…probable. But that would soon change.
A master, a leader, ignores it stoically. The water bounces off his helmet with barely-audible plink sounds. He cannot afford to let anything distract him. Not here. Not now.
The Witch is the first to act. With barely a flick of her wrist in warning, many raindrops above her father change form. Some into yarn, some into rats, one or two into anvils. But most importantly, one into a piano. An organ, really. Very heavy, very deadly, made of brass-
Oh. Curses.
Magneto allows himself a smirk and both anvils, as well as the organ, fly at her. The smaller objects remain ignored, at least until a mouse lands atop his helm and scrabbles inside for shelter. Unlikely.
She dodges the organ as it rushes past her, and she transmutes the anvils into doves. They fly away harmlessly, for which she is thankful. They could have exploded instead. Hm. That wasn‘t a bad idea.
A flesh of red soars directly at her distracted opponent, and before he can remove his pesky new helmet-mate, it connects. The flash of light does not immediately make the effect clear, but she doubles over in laughter when her vision clears.
Magneto, aside from his helm, underclothes and cloak, was bare!
”Clever.” He growls, finally tossing the mouse aside and crossing his arms. Though, what would normally be an intimidating stance is somewhat dampened by his continued semi-nudity. It is his turn to flick his wrist, and her crown goes flying off of her head, and then back at her.
She dives for the ground, sending another bolt at her father‘s feet. Both of them lay against the dirt only briefly before rolling to standing positions again. Her crown returns to the field, split into two pieces. Quickly, she sends one flying and catches the other, turning it into a sword and tossing it back. Magneto holds a hand out contemptuously, and is promptly smacked in the face.
”Plastic, father dearest. I do learn, you know.”
”Not nearly well enough. You see…”
”Oh, is it time for banter already?” She frowns, casting another hex at him. A miniature tornado erupts at his feet and sends him flying away, but not before her crown makes a return, quite literally sweeping her off her feet. ”Oof! And here I was…just getting used to the quiet!”
What she does not expect is to see him standing atop a stable metal platform. Where could he possibly have kept reserves? On second thought, she‘d as soon not know. Not that a band of iron encasing her mouth in a sort of tight gagging brace would give her much time to consider. It seems to have come straight from the ground.
”Never let an enemy choose the battleground. Particularly when he controls metal and picks an area directly above a rich iron mine.”
She rather wants to gasp in an appropriately dramatic fashion, or make a biting remark, or say anything, really. But alas, being silenced doesn‘t allow for that sort of thing. Nor does a giant cage appearing from what may as well be limbo.
”That will be your lesson for today.” He mutters absently, waving his hand downward a final time. The cage sinks swiftly into the ground, taking her with it.
”You are grounded. Now where are my clothes…”
But what about the actual curbstomp? I got you covered.
Spoiler
The factory is a quiet sort of place, really. Then again, it’s shut down. So that is to be expected. Or, it was quiet until a moment ago.
The Scarlet Spider races as quickly as possible towards the source of the new sound. Whatever he’d been told dwelled here didn’t matter now. Spider-Man is in trouble!
”Ben! Help me!”
”I’m coming, Peter, just hold onAAAAUUUGGHH!”
Falling off a railing and into a vat of strange liquid isn’t conducive to a rescue, though. Particularly not when it wasn’t there barely a second ago.
A man wearing a fine suit and a crazed expression peers down at the landing with mild interest, then shrugs.
”That’s just too easy. I mean, a cryogenics facility, really? Now, someone fetch my pudding!”
