Yes! Another tournament.
Question, will this all be TV and movie heroes, or will it include literary heroes not represented in other media yet?
This year is TV and movies, some of which may have been adapted from print. I’m also compiling a list from literature for a future year, but that will be at least two years away, as next year will feature the greatest villains of TV and movie sci-fi instead.
Awesome. Love the tournaments.
I’m looking forwards to this one too, but the question seems a little vague. Are we to make up our own minds on what the exact criteria are so the eventually winner will hopefully be a very rounded character? For instance some of the characters are simply brave/honorable, while others are better role models, more likeable, and others are really just victims of circumstance and didn’t really get much choice in what they had to do.
This round is up to you. The “head to head” brackets from round two and onward will clearly state “best hero, not who will win in a fight.”
That’s kind of what I figured but thought I’d check it wasn’t just an oversight first. Should make for some interesting bracket results later on… :)
So Spider-Man, who is clearly a better hero, would win a tournament round against an Infinity Gauntlet wielding Adam Warlock, even though that’s not the way an actual battle would go.
Can we clarify what “Hero” means in this context?
It’s deliberately open ended and subjective, so each voter uses his/her/its own criteria.
