ONCE AND FOR ALL: Classic X-Men vs Classic F4

Well, do we assume that they are fighting at their best?

@k4tz:
Are the FF at their original levels or do you intend for this to be a ragestomp?

Original. That's exactly why I have the word "classic" thrown all over the place, lol.

Here's how I see it playing out:
Angel and Human Torch will take each other on, since they're the only people in the air. Jean and Susan will probably take each other on since they had such similar power types at the time. Beast will probably attack the Thing. Back in the day, Beast had a habit of trying to punch out really strong guys, despite having only a little superhuman strength himself. Iceman and Beast were best friends at the time, so I can see Iceman helping him with Thing. Cyclops and Mr Fantastic will fight since they're the only ones without dancing partners, and leaders love to fight other leaders.
Angel vs Human Torch: As I recall, this fight has already happened in the comics, and Angel won. Torch tossed some fireballs, which Angel dodged with ease. Then Angel flew away at top speed, getting Torch to follow him. Then, due to his superior agility and manuverability in the air, Angel tricked Torch into crashing into a wall.
Invisible Woman vs Marvel Girl: I think Invisible Woman should win this. Marvel Girl, at original levels, hardly ever did anything impressive with her telekinesis (and she didn't have telepathy at the time). Sue Storm had feats about on the same level, but she also has the advantage of invisibility, giving her an edge over Jean.
Beast and Iceman vs Thing: Are we going with original original Thing, who could only lift about 5 tons?
Cyclops vs Mr Fantastic: Even in his earlier days with his lower power showings, I believe Reed was pretty much immune to blunt force damage. Cyclops could knock him around for a while with optic blasts, but they wouldn't do any damage. Reed would eventually slip around and manage to wrap Scott up or something, then knock him out.

Ok. After the first few minutes of the fight, I believe we'll still have Angel, Invisible Woman, and Mr Fantastic. The potential game breaker is what version of Thing we're using. If he's the original original 5 tonner, then Beast and Iceman should beat him easily. But if he's on any significantly higher strength level, I think he could take a small majority over Bobby and Hank. So, depending on which version of Thing it is, we could have two possible scenarios now.
1) Angel vs Invisible Woman, Thing, and Mr. Fantastic.
Translation: curbstomp.

2) Angel, Iceman, and Beast vs Invisible Woman and Mr. Fantastic
X-Men win this scenario. Iceman could easily solo Mr Fantastic (to quote the crappy F4 movie: "Tell me, Dr Richards. What happens to rubber when it's super-cooled?"). And I believe Angel and Beast would be capable of taking out Susan.

Pfft! Use common sense?! Who do you think you are talking to? You might as well ask me to fly. Common sense...... Hell you might as well be talking to me in a foreign language.

That is true Creator. One full optic blast from Cyclops was powerful but it would literally drop Cyclops to do it, Jean had to focus to float a chair across the room and had no telepathy, Iceman was just a kid covered in snow and could throw snowballs, Angel was next to useless, and Beast was pretty much the best on the team.... Beast.

They were snowballs! And yeah you are right. Iceman "refined" his power by about the 3rd issue or some such so he was a boy covered in ice rather than snow and he started using ice powers to do a greater range of things like making ice barriers and the like.

You are killing my buzz k4tz.

Sue solos.

She has the best defense here and offense here.The only way she doesn't solo is if classic Jean is a match for her and I don't believe she is.The F4 are a really tough match up for the original X-men.
