    Veidt already won 35 minutes ago. (This is a vote for him).

    Geez you step away for a few hours to go see Civil War (amazing by the way) and miss all the action here. ;)
    Good to see it's chugging along nicely - and I would've voted for the winners of nearly every round so far anyway.

    I like Mr. Freeze for this round, so my vote is with him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,203 ✭✭✭sonic85


    Dunno on this one. I wouldn't count either of them among my personal top rated villains. Ozymandias plan was a bit convoluted albeit brilliantly executed. He's a good villain but I don't find much about him particularly interesting.

    Mr Freeze is twisted which is a great trait to have in a villain plus the whole freezing thing is great and reminds me of Sub Zero one of my favourite characters from Mortal Kombat. I'd much rather it was a natural thing though like Iceman or Sub Zero rather than a gun.

    Anyway it took me a while to get there but what I'm trying to say is ill go with Mr Freeze!

    Ozymandias is put on ice as Mr. Freeze reaches Round 2. Next up it's an all-Marvel clash.

    The mandarin


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,203 ✭✭✭sonic85


    I like Sandman but years ago watching Iron Man's animated series I loved the Mandarin.

    Iron Man 3 pretty much pi$$ed all over the character though which i thought was a disgrace.

    The Mandarin gets my vote

    A tide of votes washes away Sandman's hopes as the Mandarin advances. Next up we have a battle of two of Batman's enemies.

    Scarecrow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 850 ✭✭✭lougal88


    Penguin. Very close though


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,535 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    After a very tight battle it is The Penguin who lands the decisive shot to progress to round 2. Next up we have a battle of two X-Men villains.

    Sabretooth mauls Dark Phoenix to reach Round 2. We are at the halfway stage of Round 1 and still have plenty of big baddies to come. Next up we have a Marvel vs DC clash.

    Vandal Savage. Much more interesting character


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Eh, tough one actually. Both good characters, and I do love the idea of Ultron and the AI aspect of his character, but Vandal Savage is just an evil sonofabi**h which makes for a better overall villain. I think I'll go with Vandal Savage on this one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,477 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Forget the rubbish Movie Version we saw Ultron is a fantasticlly flawed character built off the mindset of a guy who used to beat his wife Ultron for me class classic Avengers villain


  • Registered Users Posts: 60,304 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Vandal Savage


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,535 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Vandal Savage lives on as he reaches the next round. Our next encounter is a DC vs Marvel clash.
