I said it before, and I'll say it again. No logic or knowledge of the powers of the characters is apparently involved in people's decisions regarding who wins these incredibly lop-sided fights. The lesser known characters have basically no chance of winning. More popular characters are perhaps assured wins despite fighting people with powers they might have no chance of overcoming. For instance.... Wolverine was fighting Vance Astrovik above. Vance might not be able to take down Wolverine in any permanent sense, but Wolverine has to get close to his opponent to hurt them. Noone would ever say that Wolverine would be able to defeat even a Phoenix-less Jean Grey unless she allowed him to do so. Justice is as good a telekinetic as Jean Grey is (sans Phoenix, of course), yet Wolverine defeated him soundly in the poll. Yes, Wolverine has experience fighting someone with telekinetic powers, but hes never actually defeated one solo. Its always either he gets his ass handed to him, but heals, or he defeats them with the help of the other X-Men.
