I don't think Huntress gets enough respect in the DC universe. Always liked her character.

Jesse Custer from Preacher should make the "Others" category.

Saint of Killers maybe but is probably too strong.

No one from Walking Dead should make this. They're all normal people.

She's too often used as a punching bag for me to take the character seriously.

I was thinking of Earth 2 Sandman also. Firestorm could be added under Altered Humans. Some may say he's to powerful for the tournament though.

Could also think about adding Atom and Red Tornado.

I'm actually gave beta ray bill some serious consideration. Would not be opposed.

I support and it would be a good way to compromise on the Thor situation.

Scruffy, I want to get in on this thread but I don't think I could care enough to keep up with a bracket on the Internet and this is from probably the biggest Superman fanboy on TD.

I liked the discussion in this thread though.

I'd have no prob with Beta Ray in-lieu of Thor.

The bulk of your work wouldn't come until the final round when people would try to take out Superman just because "he's a boy scout and won't get his hands dirty".

I don't agree with that at all but you know it will happen.

It's pretty much about the bracket aspect. It's why I don't do fantasy sports or NCAA bracket. It looks interesting but can't captivate me enough.

One of the most debunked myths of Superman all time but I won't get into that right now for this thread. I will though when the time comes and if I'm online and see the thread.

I agree with Murray. Also, I've been reading TD for years, finally registered about a year ago and rarely make comments. But being a comic book fan/collector/nerd, this thread (tournament) sounded interesting and fun.

That and it was a slow work week.

Keep up with the bracket?

I'm just here to talk comics. I'm leaving the brackets to other people.

That's because this was supposed to be Marvel only. DC is supposed to be separate. But Freaux had to go and frick it up...

I would say let's start cut off this thread and set the official Marvel bracket of 26 in a new thread to begin that one.

Freaux could give better advice on setting parameters as far as how long voting will last and whatnot.

Then when that one end's we'll do this thread again to start the discussion on the DC bracket.

Welcome aboard man. The majority of my post count are comprised of comic book/movie/tv discussion so I'll see you around.

Well we finished Marvel didn't we? I was just pushing it forward....only because I fear it fading if we lose momentum.

If the official Marvel bracket is done, there should be a separate clean thread for the DC bracket. Easier to keep up.
