Still paying for last night, I'll make this quick. Female Villain will be

Madelyne Pryor



Evil clone of Jean Grey.

From Wiki

As a clone of Jean Grey, Madelyne Pryor also possessed mutant abilities of telekinesis and telepathy. These powers remained latent while she was believed to be a baseline human, but later manifested in ways that Jean's never had. As the Goblin Queen, her mutant powers were exponentially enhanced by demonic eldritch magic to the point where she could warp reality within a localized area.

Pretty sweet. Story has been retconned a lot, but I'm going with the Goblyn Queen version, that's what I remember.

She threw fireworks.

Perhaps Pagal's reference is the fact that Jubilee used to follow Wolverine around and hence became his sidekick?

http://kidchair.blogspot.com/2008/04...sidekicks.html

This guy's blog has her at #6.

Well, I just found that she was a sidekick through Wikipedia, since all the other's I could think of were taken.

I can easily make a switch if necessary.

In the "I can't believe this hasn't already been taken" file, Team Savage Dragons, are proud to select under the Movie Adaptation Category:

SIN CITY





From the perspective of a comic book adaptation I don't think there is a movie out there that succeeds as much as this. In fact, Frank Miller received a directors credit because they used the comics that he wrote and drew as storyboards for the movie.

Movie speaking it isn't fantastic but boy does it ever achieve the aesthetic they were setting out to do. A live action comic book. Nothing really comes close.

I select for Movie Adaptation, Ultimate Avengers 2 (Rise Of The Panther):

http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Aveng.../dp/B000FP2YYA



To save humanity, the Earth's mightiest heroes must reunite for a rematch of heroic proportions. Mysterious Wakanda. It lies in the darkest heart of Africa, unknown to most of the world. An isolated land hidden behind closed borders, fiercely protected by its young king - the BLACK PANTHER. A king hold the fate of the entire earth in his hands. Because brutal alien invaders are coming, soon to fill every sky and control every land, seeking what is buried beneath ancient Wakanda. That leaves the Black Panther with a single option, one that goes against the sacred decrees of his people-to ask for help from outsiders. And so he turns to--- The Avengers - Captain America. Iron Man. Thor. Giant Man. Wasp. And the Incredible Hulk. These mightiest of heroes have battled the aliens before, and barely survived. They thought it was over. They were wrong.

My boys have watched this about 1000 times.

I'm kinda questioning the picks of SIN CITY and V FOR VENDETTA. Is this a superhero draft or a comic book/graphic novel draft? I wouldn't consider any of the characters in either of those "superheroes".

Just wondering. I'm not saying that they are wrong, but they are more comic book adaptations.

Thoughts?

Ya know, I never really thought of it like that. I would definitely say that in the movie, V is superheroey and I think it could be considered a superhero movie.

Also, I think someone took Marv from Sin City in the draft already and nobody complained he wasn't a superhero.

Just getting clearification that this is more a Comic Book draft than a Superhero draft... no big deal either way.

V is very much a super hero because he is genetically enhanced. Unless you're telling me Spider-Man isn't a hero O.o. The Hulk?

Sin City, I do have some problems with BUT there are people in there doing super-human feats. It's walking the line.

I think it's more a fictional hero draft than a super hero draft.

There's a fine line with what you guys are talking about. Is Batman a superhero in the vein of having super human abilities? no....but this draft would be a farce if he wasnt included. Sin City walks the line for sure. Its more of a gangster story that is told via comic book so I dont know if its good or not. But as was mentioned Marv was taken and there were no qualms about it so if everybody's ok with it we'll just let it be.
