I was gonna go one more round to the Final 3, but I didn't see the point with one team having 3 times as many votes as the next highest.

The least desirable teams are slowly being "weeded out". Avoids "next best preferences" from inadvertently being eliminated too early.

Been in a meeting all day. New round shortly!

I should have known I couldn't trust a Cub fan. Cards in '10.

Making an executive decision. Tormentors of Parker & Rejects moving on!

Menagerie.

Well that sucks. I was leading for the majority of this thing.

Congrats to The Syndicate for making the Final Four. Amazingly, the other 3 polls all ended in ties, so our fearless leader's assistance is needed once more.

Gonna have a 4-way runoff for 2 spots!

How about Scarecrow vs Daredevil.

Gorilla Grodd
Let's see...Genius? Check. Ruthless? Check. Ambitious? Check? Giant gorilla? Hell the fuck yes.

Black Manta
If you're going to rule the Earth, you need someone keeping their eye on the wetter parts.

Catwoman
Smart, sexy, sophisticated. She'll rob you blind, and you won't even care.

The Penguin
Controls birds, has tons of money, shoots people with umbrellas. Yeah, he's on the team.

Rhino
Rhino has immense strength, and he likes to hurt people.

Sauron
Able to sap the strength and abilities of superpowered individuals. How could that not come in handy? Also, he flies and looks like a pterodactyl.

I agree with Dead. Agents of Chaos was awesome and possibly my favorite of the teams, I'm sad to see it fall.

Thanks Pun!

Killer B's and The Scourge are eliminated!

There was what turned out to be an inconsequential tie last round. I asked Pun to break it because he knows enough about comics that he can have a legit opinion on the teams but he doesn't generally participate in or vote on the showdowns.

He'd be my first choice if it comes up again.

Oh come on. I'm down 7-3?!? To a bunch assassins who probably would never work together at all, compared to my team which with it's backstory would work. Winter Soldier? He used to be Bucky! I love Bullseye, but he's not a self employed killer. There's no one on this team to hire him. Hush, maybe, but he seems to only employ less intelligent villains to be used as pawns. A team filled with killers? I got 2 or 3 guys who can't be killed, and one guy is pure energy!

Dead, I take back most of the things I've said about you behind your back.

One last thing Lucky in regards to Purple Man and Mystique. I should have been more clear. I see the two of them working in the same capacity, but not together. Kingpin is a smart enough guy to recognize potential conflicts. I saw Kingpin using Purple Man's abilities to command important/influential legislators as well as an interrigator.

Mystique would definitely be more about infiltrating/replacing a member of a city council/major public official.

On the whole I'm placing a lot of faith Kingpin's ability to maintain control of his people. When I decided I wanted to create an organized crime team, the Kingpin was the only guy I wanted, because he can manage a group of egos and sadistic personalities. Plus, he's not necessarily insane himself, he's a criminal genius.

Or American Thanksgiving, for that matter.

Communist!!!

Makes me wonder why Ziggy isn't the biggest Black Manta fan on the planet.

I threw Hellfire Club a vote because I do like them and it doesn't look like this will be a battle. If it turns into one and my vote matters Imight have to reconsider. Adam/Talia is just awesome with a solid supporting cast. But the Hellfire Club is no joke so I'll give them the love.

slows down time for himself so he's superfast in relation to others. Plus he's different from Prof. Zoom in that the Prof. has a vendetta against The Flash, while Zoom is trying to make Flash (and other supes) a better hero by putting them through horrible ordeals.
