[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 2485698, member: 1015"] Now that Gomez's brilliant villian showdown is drawing to a close, I thought I'd take the liberty of starting up a Hero showdown thread. Here are the rules. - You will nominate a hero. - Please post their name, a short bio, and a picture(s). - Individual beings only; no groups. - You may nominate as many heroes as you wish. - The hero can be from any media source: books, movies, radio, television, and movies. - No real life heroes. - When you nomiate a hero please post what number he/she/it is. - Once we have 128 hero then the nomination period will close. - From these 128 hero we will start a head to head voting brackets to reduce the hero pool to 64 and then to 32, etc. until we have the final Ultimate hero. - I will be the moderator (although if Gomez wishes, I'll add him as a moderator since this is based on his idea) and will rule on any questions or problems that crop up during the game. Feel free to post any questions you have here. I will post the first hero to get things rolling. Have fun, and may the best hero win!
