I'm not going to be a ###### about the belt. If there was something specific (ie - Shark Repellant) then go for it. If it attaches to the belt, I'm OK with other people picking if I get the concept of utility belt and it's awesomeness, tools included...

I would say that the gadgets in the belt are fair game....but Proto's belt also includes them.

I am proud to select as my Alternate Version - Feral Wolverine!



This version of Wolverine comes after his adumantium is ripped from his body and he runs away and lives in the wilderness and becomes more animal then human.

OK, I'm going to be the one who does it. In the Sidekick category team Up Up and Away selects, Robin

Love him or hate him, the guy is IMO the quintessential sidekick

Maybe I am just being pedantic, but Feral Wolverine was not an Alternate Version of Wolverine. He was just regular Wolverine who had his Adamantium stripped for a while.

Edit- And Robin was chosen when someone picked Nightwing >.>

^^^ I would give him the Wolverine. And My understanding was that Robin and Nightwing are not the same thing, just because one of the Robins became Nightwing

That's where it gets slippery. Which Robin are you choosing? Dick Grayson? Tim Drake? Jason Todd? Stephanie Brown?

The fact he chose Nightwing as a sidekick instead of a hero (Nightwing isn't a sidekick) it kinda makes me lean to him choosing Dick Grayson as Robin/Nightwing.

Well I said in the OP that once a hero is gone their gone, you cant distiguish between different people who put on the uniform. Nightwing is Nightwing, Robin is Robin. Just because one of them ultimately became Nightwing doesnt mean Robin never existed.

You forgot to use IMO with this. I think Nightwing will always be Batman's sidekick. Robin is obviously his sidekick but Nightwing returns to Gotham again and again to fight alongside his old mentor.

Strong Ally =/= Sidekick.

Is Deadpool Cable's side kick? Vice verca? No.

I just can't allow myself to debate comic books as a grown-ass man. If you feel strongly about my pick Blaster - I will change it.

I'd just like to note that I'll be out of town for over a week (hitting Boston & New York + Flames/Devils game ) and so I will have internet access, but I don't know how limited it'll be. So this is me apologizing in advance, and saying that I'll probably get AK'd a couple times, though I'll do my best to keep up.

I obviously say your pick of Robin is legit. The whole reason I made sure to pick Nightwing was so someone could still draft Robin if they wanted to.

Wow, duh, didn't even notice it was my pick!

Okay, I'll pick Shaman for my Canadian.

I pretty much know nothing about him, but the Canadians were going fast, and I thought he was cool because he's from Calgary

Well to throw more fuel on the fire anyways (first of all i agree robin and nightwing would be different heros) but for my debate, and I'm not trying to discredit anyones picks, but is batman considered a superhero since he doesn't have any super powers.
What is the difference between the superhero and a masked avenger?

Batman fought and beat Superman. That qualifies him as a super-hero.

Comic book hero draft!

Also... Team Breaking the 4th Wall is proud to select as their Canadian pick: The Superhero who broke down social borders. Jean-Paul Beaubier, Northstar!





Born in Montreal, he was a member of Alpha Flight until it's dissolution. After that he moved on too join the X-Men. What makes Northstar so huge to the comic universe is the fact he was one of the first openly gay super-heroes. He came out of the closet after adopting a young child, infected with HIV while in the womb. After the child died he came forward about his sexuality in an attempt to bring media attention towards the plight of AIDS/HIV.

On top of being a social crusader (He was also a member of the FLQ), he was probably the most powerful member of Alpha Flight, and one of the most formidable of the X-Mean (even able to hurt the Hulk and that's saying something). Flight, super-speed (believed to be able to move just shy of the speed of light), and super strength in his legs. He's also incredibly agile.
