Welcome back to the Tournament to End All Tournaments! Ok, so I was wrong about Mags vesus Savini. It appears fellow comic book geeks are abound around these parts. Tom Savini, you will not be forgotten. The tournament must go on!
Help me find out who the most awesome/badass character/person of all time is!
How would one accomplish such a task? Why by pitting every awesome and/or badass person/character/historical figure in a 512-person bracket style tournament that leaves only one person standing in the end. Who will it be? You will decide.
There is no voting criteria. You can vote for a participant based on whatever you please. If you feel that person would be the victor in a fist fight, or if you think they're more badass, more epic, have better hair, or if you just like one better than the other. It's completely up to you, the voter. I want people to have fun with this, and perhaps imagine the two participants squaring off face to face.
This evening we have another representative of the video game world, Lara Croft of the Tomb Raider series, taking on hip-hop legends Public Enemy! This is a true treat for me personally, as I am a huge Public Enemy mark. I never played a Tomb Raider game in my life, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't include a character so popular that she spawned a movie franchise. Public Enemy requires no explanation as one of the most important hip-hop acts of the last two and a half decades. Their inclusion in this tournament is without question.
