【Watch The Masseuse Fired into The Wifes Hole Online】

Avengers: Infinity Waris supposed to be Watch The Masseuse Fired into The Wifes Hole Onlinea kind of pivot point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It's an end-of-all-things crossover story that promises to fundamentally reshape the fiction we've come to know over the past decade. We've put a lot of thought here at Mashable into how we could talk about this massive thing, and one idea in particular kept surfacing again and again:

Let's pit everyone against one another!

So that's exactly what we did. We put together a tournament bracket, with guidance from Mashable deputy entertainment editor Angie Han -- whose strong feelings on proper seeding are well-known -- that poses a simple question: Which Infinity Warhero do you think is best-suited to wield the Infinity Gauntlet's limitless power?

Members of Mashable's entertainment team plotted out their own path to the top Infinity Warrior, and we've all explained below how we each made our winning pick. (Kellen's is wrong and he should feel bad.)

You're welcome to join in on the fun, too -- there's a blank bracket at the bottom of this page, featuring the gorgeous artwork of Mashable senior illustrator Bob Al-Greene.

No surprise Black Panther came out on top here. He’s already the capable king of a thriving nation, so if anyone knows how to wield great power it’s him. Especially when he’s got brilliant advisers like Nakia on his side.

The bigger shock, for me, is how far Thor got – and how far Cap didn’t. Yes, Cap’s as brave and kind and good as they come. He’s also stubborn as hell. Just listen to that “No, you move” speech – it sounds inspiring, until you realize it could be applied by literally anyone to literally anything. I’m not convinced it’s a great idea to hand over infinite power to someone so certain of his own righteousness, even if he isright most of the time.

Thor, on the other hand? He may have started out an egotistical meathead, but Ragnarokdrove home how much he’s evolved over the years. He has the savvy to see how the game is being played, and the courage to lead a nation in trouble. He’s adaptable and resilient, taking our silly Earth customs in stride; and he’s not too proud to learn from his own mistakes. He’s also processed some pretty difficult but necessary lessons about the corrupting influence of power. Sure, he’s still got some evolving to do. But if King T’Challa isn’t available, I’d gladly follow King Thor in a heartbeat.

Yeah, I picked Hawkeye, OK? I get it, he’s not really one of the big stars of the MCU, and he’s not even a part of any of the marketing materials for Infinity War, but you know what? That’s why I like him.

Last we saw Hawkeye, he was hanging up his bow and quiver so that he could spend some time with his family and lay low. He has a wife and kid. He’s sensible, he’s responsible, and perhaps most important of all he’s not hungry for the limelight. As the leader of the universe, Hawkeye would undoubtedly be the most reasonable, probably making decisions that benefit the greater good the most out of these options.

He’s a man of the people. Give Hawkeye the gauntlet.

This bracket was difficult for me as a Captain America stan, but if there's anything stopping Cap from being the universe's perfect leader it's a history of sunny idealism and of being a bit of a loose cannon (e.g. Civil War).

Ultimately, T'Challa has the practical experience of actually, you know, leading a nation, and while he maintains a positive outlook I wouldn't call him idealistic or naive. He's experienced, he's powerful, he's open-minded, and – crucially, to at least one other person who filled out this bracket – he's hot!

Here’s the thing: No one should wield the Infinity Gauntlet. If MCU morality has taught me anything, it’s what British politician Lord Acton figured out centuries ago: Absolute power corrupts absolutely. As with most superhero stories, Marvel movies have grown increasingly concerned with the power the Avengers possess — and how no one else can keep them in check. They might have superhuman abilities, but the key word in that phrase is “human.” Even the most noble of them would inevitably ruin the world by becoming its dictator.

Ultimately, though, my bracket came down to Shuri vs. Black Panther. That’s because a) Black Panther is a king, and therefore the only one with any experience in ruling over people, and b) Shuri is already the Queen of my universe so, sure, give her the Infinity Gauntlet and make it official. The most obvious answer to who would wield absolute power best is Black Panther, even though it would inevitably corrupt even him too. But if Shuri was by his side, keeping him grounded (and fashion forward), maybe they’d have a better shot.

I chose who advanced based on if they were Captain America or not. Shuri, Iron Man and Spider-Man performed well too, and all have their strengths, but ultimately they were not Captain America. Captain America was, which is why he's the winner.

All hail T'Challa, king of Wakanda and my preferred ruler of the universe.

T'Challa easily made his way to the finals, but the other half of the bracket required more deliberation. I chose The Vision over Captain America for the semi-finals because of Cap's many questionable choices in Civil War. The Vision then defeated Shuri in the next round, mostly because Shuri is still a kid. She needs to get some life behind her before I'd feel comfortable with her ruling the universe.

Then, in the final showdown, humanity won out over machine intelligence. The Vision's dispassionate view of existence doesn't leave a whole lot of room for nuance. T'Challa, on the other hand, is already king. He's a natural leader, and he's proven his ability to make tough calls in the name of a greater good. We'd be lucky to have a man like T'Challa rule the universe.

Finally, here's the blank bracket for your personal enjoyment:
