slothian Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Whilst I couldn't really participate in Overrated comic creator, it'd at least provide a lot of discussion. Something I could vote in? Erm, is best comic villain too like the bad-ass tourney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Best villian could be good, though I imagine Joker would walk away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) I'm still leaning towards best teenage superhero. I'm thinking it will be a 64-character tournament, with 32 characters on each side (RE: classic v current). Here's the list I've compiled thus far: Classic Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) Beast Blink Bouncing Boy Brainiac 5 Bucky Cannonball Captain Marvel, Jr. Changeling / Beast Boy Cyborg Cyclops Cypher Dani Moonstar Firestar Human Torch (Johnny Storm) Iceman Impulse Jubilee Karate Kid Kid Flash (Wally West) Kitty Pryde Lightning Lad Magik Marvel Boy / Justice Marvel Girl (Jean Grey) Mary Marvel Mon-El Nova (Richard Rider) Phantom Girl Raven Robin (Dick Grayson) Robin (Jason Todd) Saturn Girl Speedball Speedy (Roy Harper) Spider-Man Starfire Superboy (Clark Kent) Superboy (Kon-El) Supergirl Triplicate Girl Wonder Girl (Donna Troy) Current Araña Arisia Armor Blindfold Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) Cyclone (Maxine Hunkel) Dust Fairchild Freefall Gravity Hellion Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) Hulkling Invincible Jakeem Thunder Kid Devil Kitty Pryde (Ultimate) Layla Miller Lucy in the Sky (Karolina Dean) Miss Martian Patriot Pixie Ravager Robin (Tim Drake) Rockslide Sister Grimm (Nico Minoru) Speedy (Mia Dearden) Spider-Girl Spider-Man (Ultimate) Spider-Woman (Mattie Franklin) Stargirl Stature Supergirl Wiccan Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark) X-23 Ten names need to be trimmed from the classic side, and four need to be dropped from the current characters. That said, is there anyone I forgot to add? I'm not opposed to adding names at this point. Edited May 26, 2008 by Yoda Added characters.

Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 For current Wiccan Patriot Iron Lad Element Lad Ravager Miss Martian As for cuts: Karate Kid Triplicate Girl Superboy Clark (Kon is the better choice) Mon-El Bouncing Boy Saturn Girl Impulse (Wally's already there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Maybe I'm biased, but I feel both Wally and Bart should be listed. Just because they have the same powers doesn't mean one negates the other. Plus, Bart is being listed as Impulse, not Kid Flash. I also have to disagree with cutting the Clark Superboy. Kon might be better (in our opinion), but the classic Superboy is a very important character to the history of comic books and teen heroes.

Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Lightning Lad and Phantom Girl, in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 To the currents I've added: Patriot Ravager Wiccan Isn't Miss Martian a villain? As much as I like Iron Lad, based on how the first Young Avengers storyline ended, we have to assume he no longer exists. Therefore, I can't include him on the current side. Element Lad? Really? Why do you suggest cutting Karate Kid, Mon-El, Triplicate Girl, Bouncing Boy and Saturn Girl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 If you take a look at the list of names, which has been edited, you'll see I have 40 characters for the classic side and 35 for the currents. More than enough. However, is there anyone I left off? Before I start cutting characters, I'm willing to add a few more. But they need to be named soon.

Missy Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I've added Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel, Jr. to the classic side. Captain Marvel didn't make the list because Billy Batson wasn't a teenager, nor was Captain Marvel. So either way, he's either too young or too old to make it.

Dread Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Classic Aqualad Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld Kamandi (?) Current Rory and Pandora Destine Hawk and Dove Klarion the Witch Boy Thunder (Black Lightning's daughter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thunder graduated college. Unless she's a prodigy like Cyclone, that means Anissa is in her early 20s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Why do you suggest cutting Karate Kid, Mon-El, Triplicate Girl, Bouncing Boy and Saturn Girl? Because I couldn't care less about any of them. Blatant Marvel bias on my part, admittedly. I was going by wiki on Miss Martian. It said she was a current to recent member of the Titans. Element Lad was my attempt to pad the list. I won't be heartbroken if he doesn't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 While I appreciate your admitted bias, we can't 86 the most famous members of the Legion of Super-Heroes. So far it looks like I'm going to cut: Classic Beast Firestar Iceman Lightning Lad Phantom Girl Speedball Current Arisia Blindfold Pixie Spider-Woman (Mattie Franklin) If anyone wants to make a case for those characters, first tell me why they deserve to be in it, and second tell me who should be cut in their place.

Dread Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Arisia could trounce most on this list as a GL. Who the hell is Stature? Toss her instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Stature is Scott Lang's daughter, and is one of the Young Avengers. Keep in mind this isn't a poll to determine who would win in a battle. It will determine the best teenage superhero. How powerful someone is isn't the top criteria we'll be looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Alright, I see Stature being there as she suffers from the all-important "Dead Dad Syndrome" but Arisia with the body changing and immaturity mixed with a romantic involvement with a man more than twice his age who should know better makes her more interesting than ANY of the X-characters on that list.
