Round 1 Continues

After taking Sunday off, our tournament to decide who is supreme in the DC Universe continues. We have eight more heroes ready to battle it out. Enough chit chat from me, let's get to the action. First up we have:

Martian Manhunter

Versus

Rorschach

As the Martian Manhunter circles his opponent the man with the ink blot face, Rorschach, just stands with his hands in the pockets of his trench coat. As J'onn J'onzz flies in for the initial attack Rorschach pulls out a can of hair spray and a lighter. A spray and a flick later an Rorschach is the first major upset winner of the tournament. Winner - Rorschach

Second battle:

Aquaman

Versus

Mr. Miracle

Another battle of ex Justice League members. The King of the Seven Seas versus the Escape Artist Scott Free. A neatly ironic name can't help Mr. Miracle in this one. Aquaman hardly breaks a sweat as he commands a hoard of sea creatures to pull Mr. Miracle into the briny depths. I can almost hear "Under the Sea" from the Little Mermaid start as this one ends rather quickly. Winner - Aquaman

Barry Allen

Versus

Kid Flash

A battle of Flash's past and Flash's future. Yes, I know that Barry Allen and Bart Allen are both dead but this tournament transcends death. Kinda like the IRS. Oh, yeah and they are also grandfather and grandson. This battle went around the globe several times before the two of them disappeared into the speed force. Last time we checked they are still there and are once again assumed dead. Decision - A draw.

Our last battle of this update:

Captain Marvel

Versus

Mr. Terrific

Is he Captain Marvel? Is he "Shazam!"? Is he DC or is he Fawcett? Well, since Fawcett was bought by DC after DC drove them out of business I guess it doesn't matter. He's a DC character named after the competition and he was sued for being a Superman rip off. He was the first live action hero on film though. Even before Superman. In fact his comic sold more copies than Superman did during the 1940's. That has to count for something right? Maybe. Mr. Terrific is the third smartest man in the world. Who's number one and two? We don't know. How much smarter than Mr. Terrific are the first two? Are they smart enough not to battle the Big Red Cheese? 'Cause if they are they wouldn't have gotten their asses handed to them as bad as Mr. Terrific did. Winner - Captain Marvel or Shazam! whatever he's going by this minute.
