Comic Book Character Event Showdown! Nominations!

[Longo_2_guns]

I hope Paradox doesn't mind if I co-opt this showdown from him, but I say we should have two events going at the same time!

So back again is the comic book character showdown!

And why not have it again, as every year the perception of characters changes thanks to all the movies. Could Star Lord, a dark horse in last years event, get the boost he needs to make it to the end? Will last year's winners, Doctor Doom and The Cabal get knocked out in the first round?

Find out!

Rules for nomination are the same easy format. Choose 8 characters and 2 teams no one else has picked and nominate them. Easy!

Good luck!

Do you have a general size limit and it being portrait/landscape or can it just be anything reasonably sized?

Just make it smaller than screen stretching and I'm fine with it.

One more would be an even 64, so I would be alright with starting then.

Though I realize we need more teams. So in order to make things more exciting, I'll allow an extra two team nominations for everyone, totaling at 4 each! Sound good? Good!

[Longo_2_guns]

Sorry I missed singles.

Screw it, go ahead and do singles too. The more the merrier! We'll just have some three-for-all match ups.

Also, Heroes for Hire and Suicide Squad have already been picked, so do some more teams.

 

[UghRochester]

I already have the Suicide Squad, used44.
