No need to rush it. Its suppose to be fun, i'd rather take my time so that it comes out right.

Once the voting starts, everything will go quickly.

As someone who's ran many, many voting/tourneys on here, the bigger the scope the harder it is to do. The more rules debates happen will come into play, the longer it will take, and the less rewarding it will be.

Keep it manageable look at the 48 heroes I posted. Start there, as there's really no debate with those in terms of "ability to discuss" in voting threads. Make a new thread to vote on 16 slots, most are predictable (Punisher will make it. Maybe Dardevil or Black Panther, Fire, etc.). Don't count votes, just take the general feel from the thread. It will be obvious who should go. have the last say (I always have to do this with Movie threads, we don't make it to "100 films," so I take a feel for myself of the discussion and add those films to round everything out).

Finish off heroes. Complete that tournament.

Then do a second tournament for villains. This thread got 9 pages in less than 2 days, if you get down to voting now, you can have a complete 64 bracket by Sunday or Monday and voting next week.

Just speaking from experience.

I think it's pretty clear that he doesn't want to include Dr. Strange on account of the fact that he is close to, if not actually, god-tier. The same is true of Thor and Silver Surfer. He wants a contest between characters who are not so powerful that they can wipe out a hundred other superheroes in the blink of an eye, like all three of those can.

---

Again if that's the case:

No:
Deadpool
Wolverine
Jean Grey (even without the Phoenix force, she's monumentally dangerous)
SUPERMAN
Flash
Hulk (infinite strength idealistically)
Human Torch
Iceman
Shazam
Black Bolt
Cable


The list of extremely powerful characters is pretty long. So we're really talk about, best Fighter then:
Punisher
Moon Knight
Dare Devil
etc.

If that's the case, let's do it. That just means Nightwing wins.
