Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)

Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.

× WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!

This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.

Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;

Two games enter! One game leaves!

TrashDome: Infinity Gauntlet.

Top 10 might be tough. IMHO, most comic book movies still suck so I'm strictly going on the characters.

Heroes:
1) Conan
2) Judge Dredd
3) Spiderman
4) Lone Wolf (of & Cub)
5) Cyclops
6) The Tick
7) The Comedian
8) Batman
9) Hulk
10)Iron Man

Villians:
1) Doctor Doom
2) Magneto
3) The Angel Gang
4) Joker
5) Juggernaut will crush you!
6) Mystique
7) Galactus
8) Loki
9) Two-Face
10) Sebastian Shaw

Man, what a sausage-fest.

Thanks Evil. Lone Wolf is a great addition. I haven't thought about that character in a long time.
I hope to see more entries for this list as I really don't want to use the top 16 from IGN, characters like Lone Wolf don't even break the top 100.

I'm still not 100% sure on this, but going to take a stab.

First, if we're talking about influence then I'm sure the top five through which all the rest are derived would probably be:

Conan (fantasy)
Buck Rogers (sci-fi)
John Carter / Zorro (super heroes)
Dick Tracy (detective/noir)

That said, I only think one (maybe two) of those five has a body of work that can possibly match more modern characters.

Regarding body of work, this is going to be a shoe-in for Batman. I'd argue he's the most popular because he's actually one of the weakest character in comics. That is, he's more a device then a character. He can be goofy shark-repellent spraying Adam West, to hamming it up with Scooby and Shaggy, to Mr. Mom, to Dark Knight. Whatever you need him to be. Other characters are more defined. Sure, The Punisher crossed-over with the Riverdale gang, but he wasn't 'golly,shucks' with them, but maintained his sour-puss attitude. At the same time, you don't do gritty spider-man or comical Conan. So, yeah, Batman wins on market penetration due to being whatever he needs to be for a given tale.

Looking at a personal top 10 characters in film/tv that also have also appeared in comics, I'll list someone like Snake Plissken, though his body of work won't hold up to 95% of the characters on other lists. Anyway, here goes:

HEROES
1) Conan
2) Snake Plissken
3) Spider-man
4) Flash Gordon
5) Judge Dredd
6) Blade
7) Cyclops
8) The Phantom
9) The Thing
10) Sgt. Slaughter

VILLAINS
1) Ming the Merciless
2) Magneto
3) Thulsa Doom
4) Darth Vader
5) Cobra Commander
6) Skeletor
7) Green Goblin
8) Dr. Doom
9) Zartan
10) Serpentor

(You can tell from my list I was a Marvel kid...Make Mine Marvel!)

Well, may have been over ambitious in building a F:At database of top 16 Heroes/villains, but I may have over complicated things, I’ll see what happens by Friday.
IGN has Aquaman in the top 20, so he may not make the cut…..
