  1. Correct. The other answer was Hannibal King, who was saved by Strange because he never drained blood directly from a living human (which I learned of about three minutes ago). You're up.
  2. When Morbius became a "vampire," wasn't he still alive? The one I'm looking for was killed and revived as a vampire. The part about Strange is right though.
  3. Yes, both parts. Sorry about that.
  4. And go I will! Who was the only vampire to survive the casting of the Montesi Formula spell and why was he able to survive it?
  5. I completely forgot this movie existed until I saw this topic, but anything that features the Power Glove is fine by me.
  6. The Flash d. Quicksilver Robin d. Jubilee Elektra d. Catwoman Silver Surfer d. Green Lantern Superman d. Hulk Spiderman d. Superboy Storm d. Wonder Woman Batman d. Captain America Wolverine d. Lobo Thor d. Captain Marvel Aquaman d. Sub-Mariner
  7. I've played nothing but PC games for the past few weeks, in particular my SNES emulator.

    Pokemon

    Yeah, I'll come clean and admit I was addicted to the Pokemon games for a long time. I still have all the games from Red and Blue to Crystal, but I haven't played them in quite some time.
  9. This is why you kick ass. FFVI hands down. I also want to say Chrono Trigger but it doesn't really count. I like to see every little thing a game has to offer, so when I finally made Lavos my bitch it wasn't the same knowing I had at least another dozen endings to view. As for those that do count, FF IX and Suikoden 2.
  10. True, but I wouldn't worry much about what the magazine said. They have a spot explaining why one particular hero isn't higher up. For Doctor Strange: It's about the same thing for the Flash too. It must be a padded list, not for quality's sake but to get some better-known names out there, with Firestorm (who I barely even know of) present to try to discount this. I won't argue with you about the Hulk's regeneration abilities or his strength. It's a given he should at least be on here. But why so many heros just barely above the "normal human" mark? Xavier is/was the most powerful telepath on earth, but he's also a paraphlegic. Why not switch him with Psi-Lord (Franklin Richards), who was shown to have even greater psionic powers, including precognition. And if Superman is there, why not Gladiator? He's basically Superman with different vulnerabilities. I agree with Yoda's list up from #1-6, then I'd change it up as follows: 7. Magneto 8. Adam Warlock (not sure if he counts here) 9. Gladiator 10. Wolverine
  11. Name: Amadeus Macbeth Powers: The ability to absorb, store and release any and all forms of energy, wingless flight, heightened senses, limited invulnerability Costume: Think of Magneto's costume, but mostly black and without the bucket helmet. Silver hair still a must. Base/City of Operations: Mobile fortress, Pacific Ocean Weapons: None Special Weapons: None Fighting Style: Brawler, distance (through powers) Special Training: None Weakness: Feelings of inadequacy despite great ability, the possibility of absorbing too much energy, causing a potentially fatal "overload." Motivation: To gain respect through fear and to achieve even greater power Origin: Born with superhuman abilities and inspired by William Shakespeare's Macbeth character to do whatever is necessary to sate one's limitless ambition; and eventually driven mad by lust for ultimate power. Would you be a human, alien, god/supernatural being, or spirit? Human Would you have a lackey? Pendragon (right hand man), pyrotic (can mentally create fire) Would you be on a team? No
  12. PS2, and it wasn't hard. I loved how the button layout is virtually the same as the old SNES, so I became accustomed to it without effort.
  13. Marvel. The amount I've actually read is far greater than what I've seen of DC. I'm a big fan of the JLA/JLI period and pretty much everyone associated with them, but my local comic book stores (actually about an hour away) didn't have many DC titles, and even fewer that caught my eye. I was more familiar with Spiderman and the various X-books, so I stuck with them, and only went to the competition every once in a while
  14. I played it for an hour at my cousin's house. A very nice game, I must say.
  15. Online: Unreal Single Player: Quake
  16. X-Men: Onslaught (1996) Synopsis This was an incredible story with a fantastic build of two years at the very least. The saga got a proper start in X-Men #25 and didn't end until just after X-Men #55. Issue #53 has an awesome bit of continuity when Onslaught shows Jean Grey the dark side of Xavier's psyche. Jean finally learns that Xavier once had romantic feelings for her, which in real-time was over thirty years ago. Furthermore, Bishop discovers that Charles Xavier himself is the "traitor" who would kill the X-Men, something that was completely unexpected. Onslaught scan Bishop's mind and learns about the Age of Apocalypse, since Bishop is the only one that remembers it, and uses it to formulate his ultimate plan. If Marvel ceased to exist once this story concluded it would have been a fitting end. Xavier is powerless; so is the Juggernaut. Beast, who was captured by himself from an alternate reality who then took his place, was found and rescued. Bruce Banner and the Hulk are split into two entities. Magneto seemingly has regained his youth and is now on the side of good. The Avengers and the Fantastic Four are dead. Onslaught was built up to be the greatest threat the Earth had ever seen, and once he was defeated it appeared for a fleeting moment that the world was at last truly safe. Of course we all know that would never happen. The next best thing, however, was that Marvel was set up for stories for the next year at least, leading into the "Heroes Reborn" arc and "Operation: Zero Tolerance."
  17. Ah yes, the awsome ebaumsworld. I always go there when I'm in need of something to do. As for this game in particular, I'm not very good at it but it's quite addicting.
  18. Is Scorpion a demon too or only human? If he's human then Ghost Rider might be able to simply cast some hellfire and take his soul. If not, then they're pretty even. GR's motorcycle might be a non-factor depending on the terrain. I'll look it up but for now it's a null vote. EDIT: Apparently Scorpion is a "reincarnated spectre," so hellfire might have no effect on him. When it came down to hand-to-hand combat, I'd give it to Scorpion.
  19. Would this be it? I always wanted one of those. There's just something about weilding a plastic bazooka
  20. I'll never know the issue, but it was one of the Archie Digest comics.
  21. Note: My knowledge is mostly from Marvel. If my ideas lean in favor of their characters, that's why. A few potential foes to consider: The unfairly overpowered villans (Galactus, Mephisto, Darkseid) for obvious reasons. Possibly Thanos and Despero on there as well. Superman: Without magic or kryptonite, Batman has no hope. Magneto: As long as Bruce has iron in his blood, Magneto owns him. Cloak (as in Cloak and Dagger): Cloak is a living interdimensional portal inside a cape, devoid of a solid form. If anything is thrown at him, it either passes through him or gets sucked inside his being. When Batman gets too close, he'd be absorbed. Possessors of any extrasensory perception: In the case of telepathy, Batman's opponent would be able to read his thoughts and know exactly where he was and what he was intending. If they were powerful enough, like Jean Grey or Prof. Xavier, they could convince Batman the fight was already over. In the case of Spider-sense or Daredevil's "radar," I think it would still come down to hand-to-hand combat. I'd give the win to Daredevil, but Batman might be able to overtake Spiderman with great difficulty (the exception to the rule). Silver Surfer: the Surfer might be the most overpowered hero of them all. No contest.
  22. That was a SNES game; this is a poll asking which NES TMNT game was best. My bad. Sorry.
  23. TMNT III for me. God, this takes me back. No Turtles in Time on this poll? It was like the II and III, but with better graphics and really bad Shredder voiceovers.
