Let me say that I would read any of these. Very hard to choose.

I know, right? I think we ended up with a fantastic variety of stories. Well played, everyone!

[death tribble]

Crosspost

The synopsis of mine is that Ra's Al Ghul is trying to get his hands on a mystic artifact (Nabu's helmet).

Batman who is following leads to Ra's calls in Zatanna and the Martian Manhunter to help him work out what is going on and stop it.

Cheshire and the Hand manage to cause chaos and stop the heroes progressing so Batman gets the Black Widow to go in covertly while bringing in Luke Cage to punch through the masses.

Ra's being no-one's fool works out that the Manhunter may be present so he brings in Pyro.

Who wins ?

You decide !

 

Oh by the way, Zatanna is working her JLA uniform, not the stage magician gear.

[Tjack]

  The synopsis;

 The Brotherhood of the Lamb, a fanatical group dedicated to trailing and tormenting Casca the Undying because he is fated to meet one day with the reborn Messiah, use the Spear of Destiny (The weapon Casca used to end the life of Christ while he hung on the cross) being put on museum display as an enticement to draw him out of hiding.
  Without their knowledge Dr. Fu Manchu has his own plans for the holy relic.  His paid agents planned to switch the real spear for a replica but were thwarted by the swift action and rock hard fists of Dominic Fortune who grabbed the Spear and dove overboard as the ship carrying them was being docked in New York Harbor.

  Now an alliance of Heroes from Doc Savage, young powerhouse Clark Kent and Mandrake the Magician to psychic Margo Lane and Casca himself scour the city for the talisman trying to stay ahead of the forces of Fu Manchu’s deadly Dacoits and the American Nazis ordered in by the orders of Heinrich Himmler, the secret head of the Brotherhood.

[Pariah]

Five votes so far. Good start.

[Pariah]

Bump.

 

Only about three days left to vote!

[Cancer]

Haven't voted yet, but I will. 

[Cancer]

... and I have.

 

Obviously need more style in my mud wrasslin'.

[death tribble]

As per usual I am making up the numbers

[Pariah]

That's the way we all do it here, DT. The answers are all made up and the points don't matter.

[L. Marcus]

Just like our old NGD presidential elections.

[Pariah]

Hey, yeah, I'd forgotten about that.

 

Maybe we should take all the Superdraft winners, throw their names in a hat, and pick one, and that's who becomes the NGD President for the following year.

[L. Marcus]

Sounds good, as long as you pick Hermit.

[Cancer]

I'm good with that.  I'm too busy to be able to handle such an awesome responsibility right now.

[Hermit]

What did I ever do to you guys?

 

I mean..err thank you for the votes this draft 

 

[death tribble]

What is with the change of avatar ?

[Hermit]

Well, I saw an old ST:NG episode recently and thought 'why not?

[death tribble]

When I first saw it I thought 'Oh no, Dwight is dead'

  When I’m in the grocery store and I go down that aisle, I smile and under my breath I say “TRASH BAGS! GIMME TRASH BAGS!”  Its an obscure A-Team reference, but it makes me laugh.

[Tjack]

Did this finish with a three way tie?  If so, well done to all the players!    (I knew I should have voted for myself!)

Superdraft ties are resolved in the Thunderdome.

[Pariah]

Superdraft ties are resolved strictly by the whim of the Commissioner ... In this case, me.

 

I will now begin accepting bribes gratuities. PM me for Venmo information.
