Hannibal Lecter vs Martian Manhunter

Suggested by Jimmy Hannibal Lecter is one of those mass murderers that the books try to get you to sympathize with, but it doesn’t work. I don’t plan to read any novels with him to be honest, but I doubt that they would convince me anyway. He doesn’t sound like a very good character and knives aren’t a great weapon to use against the Martian. It will just snap and one punch is all that MM needs to win. Hannibal doesn’t have the speed to dodge it. Martian Manhunter wins.

Anira vs Jottun Runelord

Suggested by Unknown These two characters hail from the Kingdom of Amalur game. Anira is one of the Witch Knights and the final boss of a pretty big quest. Apparently defeating her isn’t all that tough, but her stats aren’t half bad. The Jottun Runelord is one of the stronger minions in the game and his ice abilities are deadly, but he’s pretty slow. Anira will certainly be able to expose this big weakness and the damage from her stabs will add up over time. I don’t believe the Runelord will be able to hold out. Anira wins.

Newt Scamander vs Bayonetta

This is a tribute to the Fantastic Beasts film! Newt wasn’t a very good spell caster and I highly doubt that he’ll be taking down any really strong foes in the near future. On the other hand, Bayonetta has defeated many global threats. She may be a witch, but Bayonetta will be the one doing the hunting this time. Newt is far too slow to escape and too weak to put up a struggle. He’s just completely doomed so it’s game over for him. Bayonetta wins.

Star Lord vs Goku




This is a tribute to Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 2. Star Lord didn’t look so great this time as he kept getting hit by the same attack over and over again. He’s gotta learn to keep his shield up and prepare for these hits. I’ll give him some mild points for effort though. Still, Goku could just end the planet and that would be it. Nothing Star Lord can do about that. Goku wins.

Shaggy vs Ash




This is a tribute to Shaggy’s showdown. The fact that Shaggy is still scared of everything has been pretty much played out. Now it’s always tough to see him on screen so Ash is here to set him straight. Lets face it, Shaggy just can’t handle such a powerful Pikachu or even Ash’s Charizard. Ash could unleash his Pokemon army on Shaggy and that would be the end of the match. Good games, but it’s over. Ash wins.

Hitomi Kanzaki vs Robin

This is a tribute to the Escaflowne movie as well as Batman Bad Blood. Hitomi looked really bad in the Escaflowne film although she had a lot of company there. Meanwhile, Nightwing did pretty good in Bad Blood as he took up the mantle and managed to fight on a level that was almost as high as Batman. He would easily be able to dodge Hitomi’s attacks and her mind games wouldn’t work on an opponent who is so sure of himself. The original Boy Wonder still has his skills. Robin wins.

Beast Boy vs Superman

This is a tribute to the Judas Contract. Beast Boy didn’t handle the Terra situation very well. She wasn’t even trying to be a nice person like in the TV show so that made it all the worse. Ah well, at least he was able to get over it fairly quick. Still, there’s no way he can hope to defeat Superman. Superman can lift whole buildings with 1 finger. Now that’s Power! Superman wins.

Robin (Damian) vs One Above All




This is a tribute to Justice League vs Teen Titans. Robin got a lot of development here and still managed to kick everyone around the whole time. That’s a win-win situation in my book. It’s kind of sad to have to drop the One Above All again, but he’s just the perfect target for these tribute battles. What’s he gonna do to try and stop Robin? He just has no attacks at his disposal that will present a threat to the Boy Wonder and that’s why he is doomed here. He’s just out of his league. Robin (Damian) wins.

One Above All vs Kino

This is a tribute to the Country of Illness. Kino is definitely not one of my favorite characters and she certainly isn’t a hero, but at least she knows her way around a gun. Kino will always shoot anyone who gets in her way and that applies to The One Above All as well. There’s not much that he can do to dodge the bullet after all and Kino’s also a whole lot faster than he’ll ever be. Kino wins.

Beast vs Leader




It’s time for the final round of the tournament. Who can possibly claim victory! Leader and Beast both have super strength that they have attained over the years, but the Leader is superior. He got the Hulk’s power and throughout all of his mutations, the Beast has never grown quite that strong. He is simply outmatched. Leader also has a lot of good inventions to back him up as well. There you have it, the first blog tournament is now over. The Leader has claimed victory and has risen up quite a few ranks on the blog. It is certainly a pretty historic moment for him. Stay tuned for an announcement of the next tournament at some point! Leader wins.

Here’s a link to the first ever tournament bracket.
