I will select Kate Bishop, the adorable young lady known as Hawkeye.

 

You have chosen an archer, assuring whatever else happens, your team will not suck!

Well done!

Today's Pick: Kurt Wagner, the amazing Nightcrawler!

I'm gonna count Rocket Raccoon as  snipe . He was on my very short list!

 Well played

Let the record further show the three of the first five picks were contributions from my list. 

 

And now for my first character pick: Given that my story takes place in Antarctica, the only reasonable first pick is Killer Frost!

There was a run on Supervillains and I thought "Hey, Screenslaver should work for Vegas really well"

Not someone I pictured getting!

Vegas, a city of vice, where there's a lot of dreams, a lot of suckers...and, thanks to electronic slots and kiosks...

a lot of screens...

so many screens

Pick: Evelyn Deavor aka SCREENSLAVER!

May 6: NO NEW PLAYERS! I post the Master List: Every character drafted, duplicates reduced to singles. I will replace duplicates with a pre-prepared list of popular characters (there are three picks for Superman? I go to the top two on my list that haven't been picked, and I add them. Now the master list has one Superman and two other people). Players may draft their location at this time.

 

Thereafter: Draft Normally. 

I do believe this is "Thereafter" ! so.. yeah. Ooo we get to pick

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada

Fascinating set of miscellany to pick from.

Indeed, good helping of villains and a whole lot of heroes of various sorts.

And in 15 minutes or so we get to make our location picks

looks like a few details from my all archer list are missing... so:

Celestial Archer (Xu Tao) (From the Great Ten of DC comics)
Eve (From the Freedom Force Video game Franchise)
Green Arrow (Oliver Queen)
Hawkeye (Clint Barton)
Hawkeye (Kate Bishop)
Manticore (Justin Sinclair) (From City of Heroes video game and Top Cow/Image comics)
Merlyn The Archer (Arthur King)
Warpath (Danica Two Bears) (From the Champions Universe villain Group War Machine)

Darn Annihilation teases....

Last day for stragglers!

We could use a few more stragglers joining this... I'll try to lure one in by showing a little leg...

a world can have both a Metropolis AND a Star City

Yes, kind of my point and why I can live with it

Actually I'm good with you and other Canadians taking over this thread, L.L. I'm the outsider there

My 'problem' would be a gift  of  abundance with all the excellent ideas and which to pick from, but that's a 'problem' I can live with

I have done my best to make sure no one is stuck with a team that sucks!

You're welcome

The fact we're all insufferably pleased with ourselves so far may be an ominous sign!

And my picks are sent!

I think I've got my list of superheroes and Supervillains ready

Sounds like two fictional cities in Canada of a half million would be easier to swallow for some than one of a full million... but I am still leaning towards Northgate

Holy hell.... Hasbro/Wotc just can't stop being the bad guy

It's mind boggling how many barriers he broke!

Personally, I'm confident that Biden and Harris are both at least competent to hold the office and not sink the United States. There's no one among declared or likely Republican candidates for whom I could say that.

Oh, no argument there.

I realize I am rather prone to despair in the last few years and I need to work on that. But it's hard not to dwell on 'oh this could go bad if..' sometimes, but I still remember how many folks were so confident Trump would never be president and we know how that went. Roe Vs Wade would not be over turned, and we're seeing how that plays out. So on.

It feels like every time decent people drop their guard, they pay for it. Eternal Vigilance is the price of freedom and all that.

RIP: Harry Belafonte

I remember when I first saw him on the Muppet Show a long, long time ago... and he and Henson's crew would make a performance that was mesmerizing...

and when Henson died, he had requested that same song be performed at his funeral....

Well, Biden is officially running for reelection. I am not surprised though like many I am concerned somewhat about his age. Then again, he did beat Trump once before and has proven to be better in many areas than I expected. If he runs, and wins, I would not be surprised to see VP Harris play a more prominent role. I'm not a fan of VP Harris but we move on

I suspect Tucker will go to Newsmax or OAN or something and get snatched up quickly. He'll take a lot of followers with him. Sad to say.
