so she called in the baddest fucking mercenary she could find:

244. Deathstroke

Or after reading a little about him, cheap copy of Deadpool. They even took his last name... or was it the other way around.

MTA Have fun house hunting.

Habsy, it was definitely the other way around.

[Habs]

But mine has yellow dialogue boxes! That IS original right?

245. LIGHTNING, Guy Gilbert




Lightning is the speedster of THUNDER Agents, a mostly forgotten team from an independent company called Tower Comics that operated in the late 60s and early 70s.

The THUNDER Agents were all pretty standard superhero tropes, but each with a little tragic twist. Lightning's twist? Every time he uses his powers, it seems to him as though time slows down to a crawl, and he has a dial that can turn up his speed as high as he likes. But the faster he goes, the more time he spends in high-speed, the more time he takes off his own lifespan!


Here's a little something about Lightning that I cribbed from a THUNDER Agents fan-site:

Guy Gilbert makes that suit work.

It's mechanism, triggered by the dial on his chest, speeds up everything for Guy.

Lightning in a bottle.


His top speed is really unknown. While the suit multiplies his speed, it also has a deadly drawback:

It also multiplies his metabolism. Every time Guy uses the suit and becomes Lightning, the suit ages every cell in his body.

Some people shorten their lifespan by smoking tobacco. Guy has shortened his by wearing the suit.


The fastest man on Earth.

Running away from his own demise.

The faster he runs, the faster his doom chases him.

"The faster he runs, the faster his doom chases him." I like that. That's pretty damn bad-ass.

Thank you much.

[The Canadian Content]

That's assuming, of course, that we can manage to make it through the last six picks before then.

[salmonjunkie]

Team Tick needs missle tits.

247. Tank Girl

[OpTard]

some people may look at my final pick as just a form of transportation. but she has a mind and a consciousness so she's a character to me.

248. Smartship Friday

[Deleted]

That's a neat-o pick.

I thought you were going to pick Madonna.

[Demko]

I went back and forth on this pick for awhile, trying to figure out who I would choose to tie Team Psycho Bastard together. Fortunately for me, there's one guy out there who can not only control people, but also offer them power and influence to cause their own havoc. ESPECIALLY IF THEY DIE. So if you don't mind, please turn your attention to that big hole in the ground over there, because here comes my final pick of the draft. Whereas Lucky's team was all about integrity, Demko has no such lofty goals. Many confuse him with the lord and ruler of hell, Satan. But unfortunately, Satan wasn't eligible for this contest (since, y'know, the Bible wrote about him first). But in truth, he's really just a lost soul and ruler of his own Hell dimension. Ladies and gentlemen, I offer you the man who will lead Team Psycho Bastard to victory:

249. Mephisto

[OpTard]

mephisto ruined spider-man. there isn't a situation in the world that would get me to vote for him.

[Demko]

Good thing I wasn't counting on your vote. :-)

[Deleted]

Yeah, that team is totally gonna lose.

[Demko]

But 6 copies of the same guy? That's a winner!

[BTR]

So my last picks have been Northstar, Guardian, Vindicator, Puck, and Sasquatch. Obviously I'm reforming Alpha Flight, right? Nope. Because we all know Canadians cannot be trusted. I present the leader of my third team, All-American and the Canadian Rejects:

250. All-American (Jack Magniconte)
