I’m confident in my picks because I chose the most hilariously improbable, popularity-fueled victories I could think of.
Pursuant to that logic, the final matchup will obviously be Harley vs. Catwoman. Like, no one else has anything even close to a chance and it’s rather pointless that any of the others are even in the bracket. From there, it was important to my faith in humanity that Catwoman wins that fight, so I chose her as ultimate victor.
This was a lot harder picking than I thought it would be because I’m sure there’s going to be a combination of people voting for who they actually think would win vs those voting for their favorites. Or voting nonsense just to be difficult (you know who you are!)
I’m sure this will go the same way as all my March Madness brackets and I’ll be busted in the first week. But, hey, at least I know more about comic books than college basketball!
I kind of disagree, she sends people on suicide missions against their will in some cases. I mean you could argue it’s for the greater good, but it still tastes wrong.
This really more than I could have hoped for. We actually have a real bracket system this year!!!
There were some really tough matchups. The ones you agonize over. Getting two of the most powerful characters in the bracket likely meeting in the second round for example.
This is gonna be awesome!!
I’m sure there’s gonna be plenty of smack talk but remember, everybody is entitled to their opinion so let’s keep it respectful and with Community Guidelines.
And to start it off
Catwoman is going out in the first round to Dex-Starr. A whip versus a rage filled cat with a red lantern ring…bye bye Selina.
My deepest thanks to @Applejack and the entire team for their work on this. You folks exceeded my expectations on what we could get in MM Year 2.
I put Harley as the winner. In terms of popularity she is the best choice. My final 4 are Harley, Anti-Monitor, Brainiac, and Gorilla Grodd (should have done Catwoman but it should be fine)
Last year the first and second rounds were much more even in many cases about who would win vs sheer popularity. Once we got to the Sweet 16, that when popularity really kicked in.
I know but that was heroes. Villains range in power and ability by who they mainly fight. A Batman villain like scarecrow or penguin would never beat Mr Nobody or Reverse Flash. This was gonna be a popularity contest anyway. If not Anti Monitor would be clear winner.
And now for the shame plug…
The Psychology of Supervillains Club as our own thread going for all of Meta Madhouse. When it comes down to many of these matchups: cunning, ruthlessness and who hhas thhe psychological edge could make the difference.
