Welcome back to the Tournament to End All Tournaments! Our last contest saw The Fonz topple Judge Dredd with a 3 to 2 victory. I was really hoping for a better turn out as far as voting is concerned. I can attribute this to my absence, but I can assure my loyal followers that I will be prompt with my updates. Today we press forward with our next match-up!
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.
Today we have our first pure historical match-up with former dictator of Rome, Julius Caesar, taking on former commander of the French army, Joan of Arc! Now, before we get started with the votes, this is NOT a battle of armies. It's historical significance, awesomeness, and and badassery. You can take the guy that boned Cleopatra or the young peasant girl that led her army to victory in the battle of Orleans.
Julius Caesar
.VS.
Joan of Arc
