Lock Batman, Hulk, Iron Man, Catwoman, a mercenary Snow White and antihero Bilbo Baggins in a room. Make ’em fight. Who wins? Our latest social vote project for MTV’s 2013 Movie Awards gives a realtime window into this virtual bloodbath.

Poom!

Leading up to the April 14 awards show, fans are casting votes for this year’s best cinematic superhero by hashtagging photos on Instagram. The best pics — get out those cat ears and polish your power poses! — will be aired during the live awards show.

Since 2009, Stamen’s been working with MTV to bring social to the small screen with real-time Twitter visualizations. Working withMass Relevance the heroes project takes this one step further: user photos featured on the site get classic comic book captions in keeping with each character, and you can comment and vote on Instagram for your favorites.
