Greatest Fake Tournament Ever (Part 2)
Continuing on yesterday’s post, here’s who I voted for in the first round of RedEye’s Best Superhero Tournament:
NICOLAS CAGE REGION
No. 1 Spider-Man vs. No. 8 Phoenix
As I’ve already stated, Spider-Man is my winner for this tournament hands down. Though I will say the Phoenix Saga is one of the best X-Men storylines of all time, and let’s face it, Phoenix (Jean Grey) is pretty damn hot. (No pun intended. Okay, maybe it was slightly intended.)
No. 4 Black Panther vs. No. 5 Punisher
This is probably the vote I cared next to least about. I don’t know much about Black Panther, but I know he did a lot of good with the whole equal opportunity thing. Still, I’m a Marvel guy. Punisher.
No. 3 Green Lantern vs. No. 6 Green Arrow
This is the vote I cared least about. How little did I care about this matchup? I didn’t vote. And since I didn’t vote I see no need to break it down for everyone.
No. 2 Iron Man vs. No. 7 Elektra
The only reason why Elektra even made this tourney is because they made a movie recently. Otherwise I’m not even sure anyone knows who she is. The problem? They made a really really bad movie. Gotta go with Iron Man for that reason alone.
ROSARIO DAWSON REGION
Before I even get to the matchups, why does Rosario Dawson have a region? They couldn’t go Jack Kirby? Hell I’d take a Hanna-Barbara Region before this one.
No. 1 Wolverine vs. No. 8 Sub-Mariner
Hey Bub, was there ever any doubt who I be voting for here? Now I know I’m against the whole ‘indestructable’ thing, but Wolvie isn’t invulnerable, he just has a healing power. Okay okay, so technically his bones are indestructable but that’s not his fault. Besides, he still gets his ass kicked all the time. He just bounces back.
No. 4 Hellboy vs. No. 5 Daredevil
Believe it or not, I’m going against Marvel on this one. Daredevil in the comics is actually great, but I can’t get the movie out of my head. It were bad. It were very very bad. Whereas Hellboy were good, very very good. And I’ll take a smartass hero any day.
No. 3 Hulk vs. No. 6 Aquaman
Aquaman? Please. I don’t even like the Hulk. I’m just not voting for Aquaman.
No. 2 Catwoman vs. No. 7 Kitty Pryde
Gotta go with the X-Man err Woman on this one. Not to mention Juno played her in the films. Wouldn’t be surprised to see her role expanded quite a bit in whatever next film they come up with for that very reason.
Next week: The Sweet Sixteen
