Didn't think I would be voting Ghost Rider into the final 4 but it comes down to the power types here. Telepathy against somebody possessed by a demon doesn't seem like a good idea. Plus Professor X has enough skeletons in his closet for Ghost Rider's Penance Stare to seriously screw Xavier up.

I was originally thinking Prof X, wondering if maybe his psychic mind-whammy could flip him out of ghost rider mode... but on refelction I think the 2 minds and rider being a demon thing might actually give him enough edge to beat the prof here.

I thought after seeing the people the Professor has already beaten in the tournament that he would be making it all the way to the end, but Ghost Rider presents an interesting challenge for him. It's strange that we can picture one person beating everybody else in the competition except one person, but that one person probably wouldn't be able to beat anybody else. Very strange lol.
