Marvel-DC Dustup (Part 4)

All right, it's been a while, but here's the next set of match-ups and the anticipated results.

Crystal vs. Ice
Crystal has the ability to control the four classic Elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Ice has control over cold and, well, ice. Hey, isn't ice just really cold water?
Winner: Crystal

Machine Man vs. Plastic Man
Is Machine Man really even an Avenger? I know he's worked with them before, but I wasn't aware that he'd ever been a formal member. Regardless, I think Plastic Man wins. Machine Man is probably stronger, but Plas can stretch farther and can really soak up the damage.
Winner: Plastic Man

Ms. Marvel vs. Power Girl
Carol is super-strong, can fly, and has energy manipulation powers. Kara is a Kryptonian. That pretty well settles it. Another nice fight for the fanboys where costumes are concerned, incidentally.
Winner: Power Girl
Note: If Carol is Binary rather than Ms. Marvel or Warbird, she wins. Easily.

Wonder Man vs. Captain Marvel
I would rather see Hercules against Captain Marvel, but I understand the reason for this pairing. It has a hero from each company using the other company's trademark (Wonder Man /Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel/Marvel Comics). Ah, Irony. Anyway, Captain Marvel seems to be the stronger combatant here. However, Wonder Man's ionic energy makes him a dangerous and somewhat unpredictable quantity. I'm picking Wonder Man for the upset.
Winner: Wonder Man
