Superhero Tournament Championship!!!

Well, after posting out Superhero tournamentfor the last couple of weeks, our championship match came down to Superman Vs. Thor.

Here's the recap of the semi-finals:

• Sweet Sixteen
• Elite Eight
• Final Four
• Championship

So in our epic Superman vs. Thor battle, it comes down to several factors:

Superman is amazingly strong, durable and with accelerated healing. He has heat vision, super speed and icy breath. He is also vulnerable to kryptonite, which Thor does not have, nor would he use. Superman is, like all Kryptonians, very susceptible to magic, which Thor has in abundance when he wields the hammer Mjolnir.

Thor, on the other hand has no weaknesses other than being separated from the hammer. Superman is fast...and strong and he might be able to get his hands on the hammer, but I don't think he could separate Thor from it. Not for long anyway. The Hulk wasn't able to capitalize on this weakness.

So, I think this comes down to a major slugfest. Both parties beat the crap out of each other with some serious collateral damage. both heroes literally do not know how to quit, but I think this one tips in Thor's favor! As the Odinson says, "As long as there is life, there is hope!".

Our championship goes to The Mighty Thor

What a nifty piece of marketing for Thor since his movie comes out on May 6th! Go see him in action!

Superhero Tournament Championship Match!!!

After several rounds of Superhero action leading up to our Final Four, the last Super Dudes standing were

• Superman vs. Black Adam from the DC Universe
• Thor Vs. Apocalypse in the Marvel World.

And the Championship will come down to

Superman Vs. Thor

Superman advancd over Black Adam...check out highlight footage

Meanwhile, Apocalypse is mega powerful and has been kicking butt for some 3,000 years, but Thor is an immortal...and has fought just about everyone Marvel and DC has to offer. Apocalypse goes down in a close bout.

Superhero Tournament Final Four!!!!

Well, here we are, down to our Final Four in the Superhero March Madness!!!
Read below to see who they beat to get here!!!

• Superman edged out Captain Marvel. Sure Cap beat Supes in Kingdom Come with the "Shazam" thing, but that can't work every time. With some preparation, Superman takes this one by a nose!
• Black Adam advances past Lex Luthor. Lex is a super genius, but he has been preparing for Superman all of these years. Black Adam is just plain evil and Lex goes down.
• Iron Man is outclassed in a battle with Thor. The Asgardian has it all over Iron Man in sheer power, though Tony makes a great showing with his skill, inteelect,  technology and experience.
• Apocalypse proves too much for Proteus. Proteus is a powerful mutant, but Apocalypse has been taking down mutant for millenia. As an External, the mighty Apocalypse advances after a tough battle with Proteus.

Cast some votes for who advances to the Championship bout!!!!

Superhero Tournament Elite Eight

Our Elite Eight is announced. These are the final eight superheroes/villains remaining from our last few days of tournament brackets. Who will be in the Final Four? (Commentary below on how these eight advanced)

Superman manages to take down Martian Manhunter. Manhunter has the raw power, but a big weakness to fire. Not good against a Kryptonian.
Captain Marvel gets by Dr. Fate. Fate is amazing, but Cap has the speed to get the helmet away from him, and is magic-based himself.
Black Adam manages to take down Doomsday due to the Kryptonian weakness vs. Magic. This took a lot of research. Doesn't look like Doomsday has fared too well against magic and hasn't encountered it often enough to have evolved a defense for it. Tough battle to decide.
Lex Luthor gets the upper hand on Brainiac, only because he has done it before a few times. Another tough call though.
Thor beats Hulk. This battle has been played out a few times. It's hard to beat Thor.
Iron Man over Beast. Beast's presence was controversial and unbelievable to some. His magic run comes to a quick halt verus the Golden Avenger.
Proteus over Magneto. Magneto is awesome and the master of magnetism, but Proteus can alter reality in some funky ways. Magento goes down.
Finally Apocalypse wins over Doctor Doom. Toughest call of all right here. Doctor Doom is a great villain who is powerful and smart, but Apocalypse is stunningly powerful and I think even Victor Von Doom would be hard pressed to beat him. Epic battle here though.

Superhero Tournament Sweet Sixteen!!!

Here is our Superhero Tournament Sweet Sixteen!!! If you missed the last couple of days, here are the links to the round two matchups

• DC Heroes Round 2
• DC Villains Round 2
• Marvel Heroes Round 2
• Marvel Villains Round 2

And here are our Sweet Sixteen!!! (check out the  battle commentary beneath the bracket)

• DC Heroes
• Superman had to get past Batman to make it in. Ture, Batman is prepared with his power armor and his stash of kryptonite, but Superman puts on a lead suit and he's resistant to Kryptonite. Bats could get through the lead suit if he had time, but time is one luxury you don't get when fighting the big red "S". Bats goes down.
• Green Lantern went up against Martian Manhunter whose strength, telepathy, invisibility, and intangibility combined with his experience were too much for GL. Not many aliens can take down a Green Lantern, but Jonn J'onnz is one that can!
• Captain Marvel went up against Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is tough, but Cap has the strength of Hercules, speed of Hermes and all that jazz.
• Flash fought Dr. Fate...who can beat Dr. Fate?
• DC Villains
• Doomsday vs. Joker...nuff said.
• Black Adam vs. Poison Ivy. Ivy was able to use her feminine wiles to beguile Bizarro. Not going to work on Black Adam. And the plants? please. Black Adam advances.
• Sinestro vs. Brainiac. As much as I love Sinestro, his vulnerabilites are too well known for a super computer not to take advantage of. Brainiac also has ranged weapons and hand to hand weapons. Brainiac takes this one.
• Lex Luthor vs. Bane. Both are super intelligent strategists, but Lex has been mixing it up with superheroes since Bane was a kid. Lex handles this one without too much fuss.
• Marvel Heroes
• Thor vs. Ghost Rider. Not much of a contest here. Even GR's penance stare can't do much to Thor. He is just an alien mind. Doesn't feel guilt like a normal human.
• Spiderman vs. Hulk. As much as I would love to see Spidey take this one, I just can't imagine it.
• Professor X vs. Iron Man. I know the Prof could affect Tony's mind, but Tony has enough gadgets to take this one. Either a psionic inhibitor, or remote controlled armor or something.
• Beast vs. Hawkeye. Beast takes this with his combination of strength, speed, agility and intellect.
• Marvel Villains
• Magneto handles Juggernaught
• Proteus advances over Legion. A mega matchup of mental powers, but the reality-warping powers of Proteus are too much for Legion.
• Doctor Doom vs. M.O.D.O.K. No real contest here. Doc is a major genius with awesome armor and all the gadgets in the world. Doc invents stuff like M.O.D.O.K. He doesn't get taken out by it.
• Poor Carnage. He had to go up against Apocalypse. Apocalypse sails into the Sweet Sixteen.

Superhero Tournament!!! Second Round - Marvel supervillains!

Allright, here is our posting of the second round of Marvel Supervillains! Tomorrow we will post our sweet sixteen! (Only a single file tomorrow).
Feel free to weigh in on who should advance!

Magento trashes Toad and Juggernaught eats Nimrod for breakfast! Sabertooth falls to Legion and Proteus takes down Bulleye (setting up a dream match in Round 2 of Proteus vs. Legion). M.O.D.O.K advances over Deadpool. Hope he doesn't get a big head about it! (oh yeah...he already has a HUGE cranium). Carnage manages to squeak by Mr. Sinister and Apocalypse easily handles The Kingpin!
Who moves on to the next round!?!?!

Superhero Tournament!!! Second Round Marvel Superheroes

Here is the second round of the Marvel Superheroes. See our second round of DC Heroes and DC Villains to get an idea of the rest of the field!

In this round, Thor easily polishes off The Punisher. Punisher realizes he needs to separate Thor from Mjolnir, but that is easier said than done! Jean Grey and Ghost Rider are a good match up, but if Ghost Rider can get close enough for a "penance stare" then it's all over for Jean who has all the guilt of the Dark Phoenix days. Power Man is strong and semi-invulnerable, but Spidey is just as strong, and agile, and has the webbing. Luke Cage goes down. Iron Fist does better than expected using the power of the Iron Fist to Hulk's "sensitive spots" but Hulk is unstoppable in round one. Professor X takes down Daredevil with his mental might. Captain America and Iron Man are a close fight but the edge goes to Iron Man. Beast upsets Wolverine (a 10 seed upsetting a 7 seed again). Wolvie just loses it with rage and Beast has the skill, agility, strength and intellect to prevail. The big surprise is Hawkeye over The Thing, but as it was pointed out, Thing has to get close. Hawkeye could drop him with knock out gas from long range. Hawkeye advances!

Superhero Tournament!!! Second Round - DC Villains

Here's our second round of DC Villains! Two Big upsets in this round!!

Major upsets!!! Doomsday was a lock to advance. So was Joker. Penguin is a tough villain, but Joker is in a class all by himself. Catwoman never had a chance against Black Adam. Then, the major upset!!!! Bizzaro should have trounced Poison Ivy, but he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. She plants one on him and he is befuddled. A number 13 takes down a number 4! Sinestro flattens Deathstroke. Boomerang (actually Captain Boomerang) is powerless before Brainiac. Then the infamous 10 seed/ 7 seed upset. Bane does not match Metallo in power, but more than makes up for it in strategy. Bane advances. Finally, Lex Luthor leaves Captain Cold out in the...cold.

Superhero Tournament!!! Second Round - DC Heroes

Second round of DC Heroes is up! Commentary below.

 No huge surprises here. Superman easily polishes off Robin. Batman and Captain Atom are a close match-up but ultimately Bats prevails with a combination of ninja-like skills, gadgets, strategy and general bad-assness. Green Lantern has it all over Blue Beetle and Hawkman is no match for Martian Manhunter (even with his fear of fire). Nightwing almost pulls off the upset. All he has to do is chain her wristbands together, but she has been training for hand-to-hand combat forever so I think Nightwing goes down. Breathing underwater and talking to sea like will not help Aquaman against Captain Marvel (Shazam to some of you). Firestorm can't hit what he can't see and Flash is just a blur and advances. Dr. Fate is the world's best sorceror and Green Arrow is hoplessly outclassed in this match up.
