Chad doesn't like the Batman theme? Or Batman?

Love the theme, Loathe the Caped Pri...jerk.

Batman is the worst Mary Sue DC has. (Wolverine being Marvel's)

He's a stain on Comics. 

 

Given that he beats Darkseid one issue and then has trouble battling A WOMAN WITH A HOLE IN HER HEAD in his own comics...yeah. He's a wonderful character that hast been destroyed by his own popularity and the sheer amount of editorial garbage they have to use to make him relevant. 

 

 

But still...good luck with that.

You know what, I agree with you. We share the same personal feelings towards the character; his popularity has inflated his abilities & achievements--which as you mention--creates inconsistencies.

 

So why draft him? Because in part he is an icon of comics. To use a cliché: "he's Batman". Obviously, I hope his massive popularity (and those stories) works for him not against him. The second major reason is that it helps give my team a Avengers-JLA vibe which I lucked into. With Doom being competent with magic, he fills the supermage spot on the team which I find funny.

 

So, I still hope you'll vote for him, but understand if you don't. :)

 

(The logical reason for Batman beating Darkseid one moment and then having trouble battling a woman with a hole in her head, is after beating Darkseid he was so happy he went out partying and got massively intoxicated. A drunk Batman is a incompetent--but hilarious(!)--Batman, which explains his trouble with the woman with a hole in her head. Hey Commish, do I win a No-Prize?)

One of my favorites. The Hawkeye Mockingbird Miniseries ranks highly in my list of happy memories.

 

Oh... This looks interesting. Wil have to remember to follow this up when it is daylight (and not early in the morning when I'm posting this).

Here are answers to a couple color round questions I've had.

 

1) Gold, silver, bronze, etc. are acceptable as colors.

 

2) Shades of color do not count as the color. Frex: crimson will not count as red, it is its own color and therefore gets the bonus.

 

Wait, what? I could have taken Crimson Fox and been fine? 

...

I mean I can. 

I could

I'm not saying I will

 

I wanted a "Gold Star"

 

But I'm good now. I think 

What day is it?

  • 3 bonus points if the pick is selected within 24 hours
  • 1 bonus point if the character chosen is female

  • 3 bonus points if the focus is not unique (Nth Metal weapons are not unique, especially on Thanagar, but they aren't ubiquitous on Earth, so not sure if that counts or not)

Total: 6-9

Sorry about the wait, I was being indecisive between several options.  

Round 6 – The Color of Victory
 
General "Thunderbolt" Ross, the Red Hulk

3117897-red-hulk.jpg

  • 3 bonus points if the pick is selected within 24 hours
  • 3 bonus points if the character has never died* (Ross faked his death so he couldn't be linked to Red-Hulk, but the general world, and readers, thought he was dead for a while)
  • 1 bonus point if the color is not green
  • 2 bonus point if the character was created after 1986 (Ross himself predates 1986, but Red Hulk came about in 2008.  Not sure if that counts or not.)

Total: 4-8

This one is probably not a surprise, based on the name of my team.
