Due to the national holiday that is Trade Deadline Day, we will take a one day hiatus where AK's will not happen. If you happen to be able to make youre pick, make it, but no AK's

Update later. Movie adaptation pick is Hellboy. Stayed quite true to the original material, and Ron Perlman rules.

From the comic

From the movie:

I was definitely impressed with the transition from graphic novel to movie with Hellboy. Same tone as the comic was mostly kept, they followed the source material close enough that it didn't make me want to lobotomize myself, and again, Ron Perlman was the perfect choice to play Hellboy.

Pagal is AKed....Staybullet is up!

StrayBullet · 03-05-2009, 03:28 PM

With the 73rd pick in the CP Superhero Draft, StrayBullet selects, Kato (Sidekick).

I select in the Canadian Character category, WENDIGO:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendigo_(comics)

The Wendigo possesses a variety of superhuman physical abilities as a result of a mystical curse. The curse causes anyone that ingests the flesh of another human, while within the Canadian wilderness, to transform into the Wendigo.

The Wendigo possesses superhuman physical strength of an unknown limit. It is known that the Wendigo possesses sufficient strength to go toe-to-toe with the Incredible Hulk.

Even though each Wendigo was once a human being, in most cases very little is left of the person it once was. It possesses little intelligence and, with the exception of brief and rare instances, is unable to remember things about its former life. It also lacks the ability to speak anything other than its own name, which it often will yell and repeat during its attacks. Sorcerers such as Mauvais and Lorenzo have been able to avoid this aspect of the curse, using magic to gain the power of the Wendigo while keeping their intelligence and the power of speech.

Barry Allen ftw!

Ronald Pagan · 03-07-2009, 08:39 AM

Who's pick is it?

SportsJunky · 03-07-2009, 09:35 AM

It's your pick Ronald Pagan. You are AK'd though so I assume that's why Tiger picked.

SportsJunky · 03-07-2009, 10:30 AM

In the Female Hero category, one of my all time favourites...Black Canary.The combination of the Black Canary's courage, fighting prowess, and her sex appeal (accentuated by her costume's characteristic fishnet stockings) has resulted in her being referred to as "The Blonde Bombshell."

Black Canary has an ability called the "Canary Cry" - a high powered, sonic scream with the ability to shatter solid objects and incapacitate her opponents. She is also a master martial artist, and is also considered one of the seven best fighters in the DC Universe.

Dinah is a strong leader and strategic thinker — qualities recognized by the other superheroes, who have selected her as the Chairwoman of the JLA.

SportsJunky · 03-07-2009, 01:40 PM

hmmm...the spread sheet shows that Pagal drafted Thor for best costume but he actually drafted the Flash.

Superflyer · 03-07-2009, 10:09 PM

I am happy to select for best costume Witchblade

The Witchblade itself is a weapon but it can change and conform to the the person that wears it.
