The Kingpin kicked the Hell out of Castle in Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man #82 -- which lead to Castle going to jail.

Does Nick Fury's brainwashing of the Punisher count as a victory?
Sure.
Nick Fury was "killed" by the Punisher. (It was really a robot of Fury... or something stupid.)
Sorry to send it back to Castle, but he was the first person I could recall beating Fury.
-
The Punisher beat the Russian by dropping his off a building.
-
So now I have to find someone who beat Terry? Oh wait, I know! He was beaten nearly to death by a group of thugs when they saw him kissing another man.
-
Okay, fuck it -- Tony Stark was beaten by alcoholism.
EDIT:
I wonder if James will be pissed when he sees what we've done to his game.

The Lan adapter is meant for hooking up Gamecubes through a network, Yes it can go on the internet, by Nintendo never intended to use it for that.
I did not know that. How many onlines games have they released? Phantasy Star Online I - III, but are there any others?
-
I could be such a bastard and post alcoholism. :lmfao:
Ha, I was also going to say Alchoholism.
You know what? I should post that, 'cause I know of another Marvel character who beat alcoholism. But then I'd be answering my own post, and that ain't fair.
-
This one does, they just don't use 'em.
<---- at Nintendo, not you. -
I could be such a bastard and post alcoholism. :lmfao: And I could also take the easy route and say Thanos, since he killed everyone at one point, but I won't do that.
Damn this is tough.

I would personally build a shrine to HHH and Stephanie McMahon if they made the next Smash Bros. available for online play.
What with the way Nintendo's been doing things lately, I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

Images: Added a blue bar for the polls.
New Forums: Crossovers was added to the Comics category.

Hawkeye is good, damn good. But Oliver has years of experience on him. Tough call, but after a game of cat and mouse, I see Green Arrow taking this.

Also, doesn't the Hammer return to it's owner?
But if Batman can hold it, he is the owner.
And that's if he is worthy.
And I wrote it so that he could hold it, therefore in my version he is worthy.
EDIT:
That doesn't mean he has to be in your version.

Thirdly, Can anyone use Thor's hammer, do they need the power of the gods, or can anyone use it? Fourthly, Batman's final move at the end has no logic. Even if Batman could kick Thor in the face and take his hammer at the same time (As if Thor wouldn't be holding it anyway, he had just landed, He needs the Hammer to fly.) The Angle of the kick wold be so that he couldn't possibly be able to bounce back off Thor's face, far enough so that he can hit the sheild with the hammer.
One has to be worthy of holding the hammer, that's why Batman's foot was healed and he was able to wield so much power in the end in take Thor out. It's also why he read the inscription. He was surprised that he was worthy.
Thor is always reattaching the hammer to his belt after flight, and I covered why he wasn't holding it:
01. He didn't want to kill the "mere" mortal.
02. He's cocky and didn't think he needed it.
The kick doesn't necessarily have to be at an odd angle. Batman could have the knife in his left hand, so if he kicks with his left leg he can cut the leather on the way up. After the kick (when he breaks his foot) he spins in midair, and catches the hammer from behind him in his right hand -- without looking. If he spins back at just the right moment, yes he can smash the hammer and shield into Thor's face at the same time.

Firstly, How does Batman know the arrow is coming? Secondly, I doubt Batman would be able to throw Vision, especially if he was still in his Diamond Hard form.
Batman is very well trained, and there are several ways he could have known the arrow was coming:
01. Heard Hawkeye.
02. Seen him out of the corner of his eye.
03. Seen him in a reflection of a window.
04. Heard the arrow whizzing through the air.
How did he throw Vision in his diamond-hard state?
Vision doesn't have to weigh a lot in that state, does he? And even if he does, Batman has thrown guys like Bane, Clayface, and dozens of other very heavy people. And for sake of argument, let's say Vision was too hard to throw, then Batman simply back flips over the cloaked Vision, causing Tony to slam into his teammate -- they did it to Wonder Woman, so Batman did it to them.

I see it like this:
Thor and Superman throw punches for the bulk of the fight, leaving them both distracted. (We'll get back to them.) Captain America and Batman square-off, and, much like Superman and Thor, are distracted from everything else. (We'll get back to them later, too.)
In the meantime, Green Lantern uses his ring to block several shots from Hawkeye, until he deploys a flash grenade-type arrow that temporarily blinds GL -- allowing Hawkeye a few seconds to swipe the ring (he was a thief after all). With that, Kyle is left powerless. (Green Arrow watches from the sidelines with a coy smile. He isn't happy his team is losing, but he likes Hawkeye's style.)
As the Flash tires to recover the ring from Hawkeye, the Scarlet Witch works one of her hex spell -- causing Wally to suddenly run in slow motion.
Wonder Woman takes out Wonder Man rather quickly, but is blindsided by Iron Man who, having seen her impossible strength, keeps her at a distance by shooting lasers (or whatever) at her. This doesn't last long, as she dodges them while on an intercept course with Tony. But Tony has an ace up his sleeve. Mere inches from striking Tony, Wonder Woman slams into something invisible, and begins to plummet several hundred stories. The diamond-hard Vision uncloaks right before Tony's masked eyes -- in the same spot Wonder Woman struck an invisible wall.
Superman takes notice of this, zips away from his fight with Thor, and saves the princess. *yawn* Thor allows Superman this one valiant moment, but as soon as Diana is safely on the ground and Superman is back in the air, Thor strikes Kal-El with several bolts of magical lightening. Thus ending their fight.
While all that was happening, the Martian Manhunter went after Vision but was stopped short by one of Vision's laser eye beams. Having been set on fire, his one weakness, J'onn J'onzz is out of the fight.
Again, at the same time, Iron Man blasted away at the grounded Aquaman, who put up little to no fight being outside of the water.
Trying to put an end to this, Hawkeye shoots an arrow at the seemingly distracted Batman, who sidesteps it -- allowing it to strike Captain America in the shoulder. Pissed at having wounded a friend, Hawkeye fires several arrows at once, followed by a stream of several more, but Batman blocks them all having grabbed Cap's shield. For a second he pretends to throw it, but fakes Hawkeye out by tossing a Batarang with his other hand. It strikes the archer in the head, knocking him out.
Before Wanda can cast another spell, Batman strikes her with a Batarang as well, knocking out another Avenger.
Unable to comprehend how one man has taken so many of his teammates, Iron Man dive bombs Batman at Mach 2. At the same time Batman senses movement behind him, grabs the cloaked Vision, and tosses him at Tony. The two collide -- ruining the Iron Man armor and crippling Vision's systems. (The shock from Wonder Woman's blow earlier damaged him enough, but he was able to work through it. This extra collision finished the job.)
Having taken out six members of the Avengers, Batman knows who his final opponent is: Thor -- a god with strength to go toe-to-toe with Superman. But Batman isn't worried.
Thor lands and demands that his allies be avenged. Batman stands there, blank as a slate.
Knowing he could strike down the mortal Batman with but a single bolt of lighting, Thor is rather confident (as always) but he refrains from doing so because he doesn't want to kill the "mere" mortal.
For apparently no reason at all, Batman throws Captain America's shield straight up into the air, and does two things in the half-second following: 1) pulls a knife from his belt, and 2) jump kicks Thor in the face. Yes, Batman broke his foot, but it allowed him the distraction he needed to cut the leather strap that attaches Thor's hammer to his belt.
Batman snatches the hammer out of midair and just as the shield is at face level with Thor, Batman swings as hard as he can and crushes Thor's face with both the magical hammer and Adamantium shield. With everyone down, Batman takes a moment to asses his wounds, and notices that his foot doesn't hurt and that he looks different. He then reads the inscription on Mjolnir: "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor."
Having won the contest and no longer needing it, Batman tosses the hammer aside (forfeiting the power of a god), limpsgathers his teammates, and leaves -- having won the battle.

Null Vote: I seriously haven't seen more than ten minutes of any of those films.
You are the luckiest man I know.
No, I just know crap when I see it. And by "see it" I mean the previews.
-
You is da man.
I was hoping for "Yo da, man." Get it...? "Yo da".
-
As for the pics, they do look a bit like action figures, but then most of this is promotinal material - I doubt most of it will look quite like that in the finished game.
I don't know. The figures in both WM games looked like that too.
-
HOLY FUCK. I knew I was forgetting a movie. I need to add Mario Bros. to this. God DAMN IT. How did I forget that...
It's been added.

Come on, people -- show some love for the 2099 series of titles. Sure, they got watered down rather quickly, but tell me Spider-Man 2099 wasn't a kick ass book. Punisher 2099 wasn't that bad either. And though Doom 2099 wasn't your traditional superhero book, it was written by Warren Ellis -- so you know it was good.
EDIT:
I just noticed that there are only two threads in the Marvel forum: 1602 and 2099. How odd.

I'm not a big fan of the WM games, but No Mercy was great. (As a SmackDown! fan even I have to admit that.) But my hopes aren't high for this new franchise. The characters look like all glossy -- like Barbie dolls. And how's this any different than what they did in the last SD game where you had one year to work your way through the ranks and make it to the top? In the end, it doesn't seem like they're adding anything new to the genre -- unless you start in OVW.
<---- at Nintendo, not you.

Here's a man who has spent his entire career with Marvel, drawing everything from Iron Man to the X-Men, Hulk to Star Brand, Cable to the Batman/Punisher crossover, Daredevil to Thor, Spider-Man to The Punisher. At a time when high-priced, superstar independent creators couldn't be bothered to publish a comic but two to three times a year, Romita, Jr. was illustrating two books a month.
His ability to tell a story and convey emotions are unmatched, yet he's often overlooked by the comic book fan base because he doesn't draw larger-breasted, nearly-nude women on every page. Because he didn't break away from Marvel to do his own thing it seems as if the fans are punishing him by turning a blind eye to a cornerstone of Marvel's creative community.
Unfortunately, his shining moment came in the wake of 9/11 with the black-covered Amazing Spider-Man #36. Romita, Jr. bled his heart and soul into those 22 short pages, but instead of telling you myself, I'll provide the following quote:
