The Great Hero Showdown (First Round Voting Results Up!)

[Aris Dragonborn]

101. Sir Lancelot

The mightiest knight on life, Lancelot had sworn to only serve a king that had bested him in single combat. When Arthur did just that, he was overjoyed that he had finally found a king worthy of his sword. He served Arthur and Britain faithfully - until the day when he could no longer deny his feelings for Arthur's queen, Guinevere. What resulted was war between Camelot and Joyous Gard (Lancelot's castle). This lasted until Arthur was forced to deal with the threat of Mordred's army. When battle between Arthur and his son broke out, Lancelot wasted no time in riding to his king's aid. He died during the last battle between Arthur and Mordred.

Just a heads-up people, but we're actually up to number 70 now because Thrall and Corwin of Amber both got marked as number 16.

D'OH! That's my bad. Really, I can count.

 

[Melkor Lord Of ALL!]

We have King Arthur two times, it seems.

Oh, and anyone found good pics for Necroscope or Rand Al'thor?

Oh, and who else doesn't like my Robin? He is from one of older movies.

 

[Aris Dragonborn]

Well, I guess that calls for a big ol'



D'OH!



So, we're at 101 (Lancelot).


...and here I thought I was being so cool for being the one to post King Arthur. Firking Ding Blast!.

 

[Melkor Lord Of ALL!]

Dark Jezter, is it okay to post artwork related to the hero if I can't find a honest pic?

In case of Harry Keogh I found a good artwork of random Vamphyri, one of Harry's enemies though this hero became the monster just at the end of series:

102. Nathan Kiklu/Keogh, the second Necroscope. From Vampire World Trilogy by Brian Lumley.

Born in the cursed world, where humans were forced to live a pathetic existence, hiding from Vamphires, who used them as food, slaves, and material for creating monsters, Nathan didn't know that he was the son of legendary Necroscope, and inherited his powers, including an ability to speak with the death. But death feared him, just as at the end they feared his father. Nathan witnessed teririble evil and cruelty of Vamphires, losing his mather and brother, Nestor, who became a Vamphire Lord and dreaded Necromancer, torturing the death for their secrets.

Nathan's brother threw him through the Hellgate, which led him to Earth, whe he finally discovered his father's legacy, returning to his world with new powers, weapons and friends, to reunite with his true love, Misha. In epic battle, Nathan defeated his brother and saved his soul, destroying Vamphires and healing the Vamphire world after millenias of suffering.

Here is art of him and his brother(at the bottom):

103 - Sir Galahad

Sir Galahad was one of the knights of King Arthur's Round Table in Arthurian legend. He was the bastard son of Sir Lancelot and Elaine of Corbenic, and he was renowned for his gallantry and purity.

According to legend, Galahad was one of only three knights to find the Holy Grail (the others being Percival and Bors). After finding the Grail, Galahad is said to have been taken to heaven in divine standing.

Sir Galahad's conception comes about when Lady Elaine magically disguises herself as Queen Guinevere, Sir Lancelot's true love, and tricks him into bed. Ashamed of what had happened, Sir Lancelot abandons the child and his mother to go off on foreign adventures. Galahad is placed in the care of his great aunt, the abbess at a nunnery, and is raised there.

Galahad was Lancelot's original name, but it had been changed when he was a child. The son was prophecied to surpass his father in valor and achieve the Holy Grail.

Upon reaching adulthood, Galahad is reunited with his father, who knights him. He is then brought to King Arthur's court at Camelot during the feast of Pentecost. Without realising the danger he was putting himself in, Sir Galahad walks over to the Round Table amidst the revelry and takes his seat at the Siege Perilous. This place had been kept vacant for the sole person who would accomplish the quest of the Holy Grail; for anyone else sitting there, it would prove to be immediately fatal. Needless to say, Sir Galahad survives the event, which is witnessed by King Arthur and his knights. The king then asks the young knight to perform a test which involves pulling a sword from a stone. This he accomplishes with ease, and King Arthur swiftly proclaims Sir Galahad to be the greatest knight in the world. He is promptly invited to join the Order of the Round Table, and after a visit from the Holy Grail, the quest to find the famous object is set.
