Hello and we are back for part 3 of the Superhero and Supervillain tournament that I do every year ... I have once again decided to find out who is the greatest Superhero/Villain of them all in the eyes of the fans. A staggering 256 contenders will make an appearence but only one can win. Here are the rules and FAQFAQ:- The contenders were chosen mainly by me, but I also had a thread for nominations of more obscue characters.
- In the previous two tournaments on this topic the winners have been Spiderman & Doctor Doom
- There will be no comedy, TV or Manga creations in this tournament (e.g Dr. Who, Captain Caveman, Hong Kong Phooey, Akira or Dragonball.)
- I haven't put any groups in as each villain or hero should have the merit to stand on there own.
Rules- First to 4 votes wins. (After 3 rounds it will progress to 5 votes for the next two rounds, at the quaters it will be 6, the semi's 7 and the final will get a couple of days.)
- 256 characters will enter ... they will be spread roughly between hero and villains ... with a few Vigilante/anti-hero's thrown in.
- The main selection will be from DC & Marvel ... however a few from other independant comics have been included.
- In case of characters who have had multiple people in there roles, use the general basis of that character. (e.g. Green Lantern, Flash, Baron Zemo etc)
- I will try to update this as swiftly as possible.
- I will be voting as well.
- The matches are determined at random.
- IMPORTANT! - Vote on who you like the most, not on who would win in a fight.
-------------------------------------------- Last Time Nightwing battered Dragon Man into the ground. -------------------------------------------- Next up ... The Penguin - One of Batman's villains Oswald cobblepot is a short, chubby man with a slightly long, beak like nose, who wears a tuxedo, top hat, and monocle. A mobster-type criminal, he fancies himself a "gentleman of crime." Unlike most Batman villains, he does not theme his crimes around a psychotic obsession; his intelligence and aristocratic personality starkly contrast against demented Batman villains, such as the Joker. However, he recently became a nightclub owner who engages in more quiet criminal activity, whom Batman tolerates as a source of criminal underworld information. He is known for his love of birds and his high-tech umbrellas that serve some specialized function, such as hang-gliding and weaponry. He also keeps beautiful women around him; perhaps to remind others of his monetary power or to compensate for his own grotesqueness.  vs Fin Fang Foom - He is an alien dragon that appears in the marvel universe and is a fairly frequent foe of Iron man yet has fought other heroes on regular occasions as well. Foom and several other members of his race originally depart from their peaceful home-world with the intention of conquering other planets. The alien dragons land on Earth in ancient China, and the crew used their natural shape-shifting powers to mimic human form, intent on entering and studying human society before beginning their conquest. Foom was the exception, and acting as reserve is placed in a tomb and given a herb that places him in a catatonic state. Fin Fang Foom possesses super strength, the ability to fly via his wings at supersonic speeds, and can spew a destructive acidic mist resembling flame from his mouth. The dragon is also extremely durable and can regenerate at a rapid rate. By entering into long periods of hibernation, Fin Fang Foom has managed to survive for centuries. Fin Fang Foom is also a shape-shifter, can communicate telepathically and excels in hand to hand combat.  I like that The Penguin is mob boss, it harks back to gothic film noir style which is cool. Penguin has my vote over Foom (Who is a nice variation on the typical dragon) |

That was quick! Penguin defeats Fin Fang Foom -------------------------- Next ... Captain Marvel - He is a DC Superhero and is more well known as 'Shazam'. When Billy Batson says 'Shazam' he is given the magically bestowed aspects of various mythological figures which include: vast super-strength, speed and stamina, physical and magical invulnerability, flight, fearlessness, vast wisdom and enhanced mental perception, control over and emission of magic lightning and vast untapped magical powers. Captain Marvel often fights evil as a member of a superhero team known as the Marvel Family, made up of himself and several other heroes. His most notable oppoenents are Black Adam, Dr. Sivana, Adolph Hitler's champion Captain Nazi, and the mind-controlling worm Mister Mind and his Monster Society of Evil.  vs Cyclops - Scott Summers is a mutant superhero and field leader of the X-men. He is the son of Corsair, the brother of Havok and Vulcan, the father of Cable, Marvel Girl, X-Man, and husband of Jean Grey. Cyclops produces powerful "optic blasts" from his eyes, forcing him to wear specialized glasses at all times and a specialized visor in combat. These blasts can vary is size and power. Cyclops seems to possess an uncanny sense of geometry, in this sense used to describe his observation of objects around himself and the angles found between surfaces of these objects. Cyclops has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to cause his optic blasts to ricochet and/or reflect off those objects in a trajectory to his liking. This is commonly called a "banked shot" when applied to this talent. Cyclops has been observed causing beams to reflect from over a dozen surfaces in the course of one blast, and still hit his intended target accurately. It is possible he may possess a sense of superhumanly enhanced spatial awareness that allows him to perform these feats as well. A master strategist and tactician Cyclops is a natural leader, he is also an expert pilot.  Cyclops has my vote. |

Shazam defetas Cyclops in a rather one sided match up -------------------------------------- Speaking of one-sided matchups ... Ironman - Tony Stark is the man behind the armor of the comic book superhero, he is also a member of the avengers. Iron Man was originally an anti-communist hero. Throughout the character’s comic book series, technological advancement and national defense were constant themes for Iron Man, but later issues developed Stark into a more complex and vulnerable character as they depicted his battle with alcoholism and other personal difficulties. Over the years he has dealth with various supervillains wanting his technology, fighting his own technology and more recently opposing Captain maerica over the Civil War storyline. Iron Man possesses powered armor that gives him superhuman strength and durability, flight, and an array of weapons. The armor is invented and, with occasional short-term exceptions, worn by Tony Stark, an American industrialist billionaire and military contractor known not only for his lifestyle, but also for his incredible ingenuity and inventive genius. The armor is powered by a combination of solar converters, electrical batteries and an on-board generator that uses beta particle absorption as a fuel source. Iron Man's standard offensive weapons have always been the repulsor rays that are fired from the palms of his gauntlets. Other weapons built into various incarnations of the armor include the uni-beam projector in its chest; pulse bolts that pick up kinetic energy along the way, so that they hit harder the further they have to travel; an electromagnetic pulse generator and an energy shield. Other capabilities include generation of ultra-freon, creating and manipulating of magnetic fields, sonic blasts and a holographic generator to create decoys.  vs Jenny Sparks - Also known as "The Spirit of the 20th century" is a character in the Wildstorm comic book universe. Jenny Sparks is one of the Century Babies, a being produced by the multiverse for a specific task. In her case, this was to influence the 20th century. As such , her moods are tied directly to the world's status. For example, she was suicidally depressed during the Great Depression and deliriously high during the Roaring Twenties. Additionally, she stopped aging at nineteen and remained this way until her death. Her appearance alters from time to time and it is unclear if this is an effect of her connection to the planet or artist interpretation. Jenny has the ability to manipulate electicity. She can easily draw electricity from electronic devices as well as from the human brain, a move she has threatened to kill people with. Sparks can also convert her entire body into electricity and travel anywhere electricity would. She can apparently survive being transformed into other forms of energy as when she traveled through a TV and power lines and then into a police radio. Shifting into her electrical form heals Sparks from injuries as well as poisons. Like an electrical current, Sparks as electricity must go somewhere before she can re-emerge in her human form. Normally this is into a machine, but other conductors seem to work as well. She was once able to go into the sky and remain there until striking down as lightning. She can also enter a person briefly and electrocute them. Through her lifetime Sparks was the members of various branches of the British military and led various superhero teams. As such she is an experienced leader and knowledgeable about military protocol. She has not demonstrated the fighting skill that one might associate with this experience, usually relying on her powers instead.  I know only the smallest amount about Jenny Sparks. Iron Man on the other hand despite being a tool of late is still cool. Iron Man has my vote. |

Jenny Sparks. Iron Man is a tool of epic proportions, so I can't vote for him.

Ironman advances, Jenny sparks goes home. ------------------------------- Next ... She-Hulk - Jennifer Walters is a Marvel Comics superheroine. She-Hulk has been a member of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Heroes for Hire, Fantastic Force, and S.H.I.E.L.D. A highly skilled lawyer, she has served as legal counsel to various superheroes on numerous occasions. the cousin of Bruce Banner (Hulk), is the small and somewhat shy daughter of Los Angeles County Sheriff William Morris Walters. Agents of Nicholas Trask, a crime boss who had crossed paths with her father, shot and seriously wounded her on a day that Bruce Banner happened to be in town for a visit. Since no donors of her blood type were available, Banner provided blood for a transfusion; his radioactive blood transformed Jennifer into the green-skinned She-Hulk. As She-Hulk, Jennifer possessed powers similar to those of her cousin, though at a reduced level. She also possessed a less monstrous, more amazonian appearance. Although initially uncontrolled while in her form as She-Hulk, she eventually gained the same levels of intelligence she possessed as Jennifer Walters.  vs The Question - A superhero in the DC Comics world. The Question is one of the more philosophically complex superheroes. As a tireless opponent of societal corruption, the Question was an adherent of Objectivism, he has since developed a zen like philosophy. Based in Hub City, Vic Sage made his mark as a highly outspoken and aggressive investigative journalist with a reputation for obnoxiousness. Victor Sage is an investigative reporter for the news station KBEL in Hub City, who uses the identity of the Question to get the answers his civilian identity cannot. Unlike other vigilante superheroes, O'Neil's Question is primarily focused on the politics of his city, and rather than hunting down the perpetrators of petty theft, he tends to fight the corrupt government of Hub City. O'Neil's Hub City is noted as being "synonymous with venality, corruption, and violence", perhaps even outranking Gotham City as the most dismal city in the DC Universe. The Question's mask is made from Pseudoderm, a substance made by Doctor Aristotle Rodor. According to the revamps of 52, this substance was developed using technology lifted from an old Batman foe named Bart Magan (Dr. No Face) and Gingold Extract, a fruit derivative associated with the Elongated Man. The Question's series by Denny O'Neil presented Pseudoderm as Rodor's attempt to build an artificial skin for humanitarian purposes. The Question also has a specialized belt-buckle, which releases a gas that binds his mask and temporarily recolors his garb.  I prefer the Question so he gets my vote. |
