In the movie category I pick... Justice League. The New Frontier. It was released in 2008 and nominated for an Emmy.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice...e_New_Frontier

It is based on an award-winning six issue limited series.

I encourage any fans of superheroes to rent this. It is superhero overload, there are many and they are everywhere. It is kind of like reading the old Golden/Silver age comic books but with a new milennium sensibility to it.

For my Wildcard I am so happy to select Snake Eyes



In the Marvel Comics' continuity Stalker, Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes served together in the Vietnam War in a LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol) unit. Also serving on their LRRP team were Ramon Escobedo, Dickie Saperstein and Wade Collins. While Snake-Eyes served in combat, he always carried a picture of his twin sister with him in his hat for good luck. While on a mission, the LRRP team walked into a valley and stumbled into an encampment of NVA regulars (soldiers). A firefight ensued, with Ramon, Dickie and Wade all being killed. (Wade Collins actually survives, and later joins Cobra, becoming Fred II of the Fred series Crimson Guardsmen). The rest of the team was able to make it out of the valley and to an LZ. As a helicopter arrived to pick up the surviving team members, the pursuing NVA opened fire, wounding Snake-Eyes. Concerned for his friend, Storm Shadow went back for Snake-Eyes. Running through heavy enemy fire, Storm Shadow was able to get Snake-Eyes safely aboard the helicopter. Upon returning home from the war, Snake-Eyes met with Colonel Hawk, who informed him that his family had been killed in a car accident (which coincidentally involved the brother of the man who would eventually become G.I. Joe's arch-foe, Cobra Commander). After some soul-searching, Snake-Eyes went to study the ninja arts with Storm Shadow's family, the Arashikage Clan.
Snake-Eyes’s ability to quickly learn skills especially impressed Storm Shadow’s uncle, the Hard Master. Over time, Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow became sword brothers, and unintentional rivals for the attention and favor of the Hard Master, who liked pitting them against one another to test their considerable skills. Though Snake-Eyes often attempted to throw matches in order that his friend should save face in front of his family, the Hard Master was aware of Snake-Eyes' ruse, and knew him to be the true victor. During one of Snake-Eyes training sessions the Hard Master expressed his desire for Snake-Eyes to take over leadership of the Arashikage ninja clan instead of his nephew, Storm Shadow. Snake-Eyes refused, and the Hard Master continued with the lesson. It was at this point that Zartan (hired by Cobra Commander) mistakenly killed the Hard Master instead of Snake-Eyes. Zartan used an arrow he stole from Storm Shadow, implicating him in the murder of his uncle. Storm Shadow chased Zartan, who was able to escape in a helicopter piloted by Firefly. With Storm Shadow believed responsible for the death of the Hard Master, the Arashikage ninja clan dissolved and Snake-Eyes returned to America, where he took up residence in the High Sierra Mountains.

Hooo boy!

Well I have been sitting on this pick for a while, and not gonna lie I had wanted to save it for dead last. But with the pick of Snake-Eyes I don't think I can! Now when you get close to the end of a draft, you need to make sure your picks are solid. You gotta make them memorable! So I think my pick has to have a two pronged attack to it.

First Prong: Team "Breaking the 4th Wall" will no longer be called "Breaking the 4th Wall". The new team name will be The Autobots!

And with my Wild Card pick, I am proud to select the most memorable Autobot to ever exist. The one, the only:
OPTIMUS PRIME!








Who doesn't know about Optimus Prime? Leader of the heroic Autobots and defender of life and freedom everywhere. His name has been used by every incarnation of the Transformers mythos, being varied slightly to adapt to new situations (Primal).

Whether you watched the cartoon, read the comic or just happened across the movie in 1986 you knew of the greatness that was this Semi-tractor trailer.

His death in the first movie was the "Bambi's mother" scene for boys. If you ask your friends if they cried, very few will be too ashamed to say "no". His death was so heartbreaking that it led to two major changes in Hasbro. One they opted not to kill off Duke in GI Joe and were even forced to bring Optimus back because of the outrage and anger his death caused.

The character also has some very deep Canadian connections. Peter Cullen, the original voice of the character, and the voice in the live action movies, is from Montreal, Quebec, and the current voice of Optimus Prime in Transformers: Animated (David Kaye, the former voice of Megatron from Beast Wars through to the Unicron Trilogy) is from Peterborough, Ontario.


To leave this I send it off with the line he is probably most famous for saying:
AUTOBOTS! TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!


edit- I'd been in the posting page for an hour hunting down links... come back and Proto's pick. Awesome

Daang, AK'd AND MattyC took my next pick. That'll show me for sleeping in until almost 4 pm.

Unable to decide on another supervillainess for now, I'll go with finally picking my Male Hero ((again, Gambit was picked as villain, despite what the draft board says )).

Ever since I first knew of him, I've been a big fan without any specific reason other than him just being a friggin beast.

Bishop


Born about 80 years in the future of the Marvel Universe, Bishop has a distinctive M brand over his right eye, used to identify Mutants in his era.

Bishop's mutant ability enables him to absorb all forms of radiant or conductive energy that are directed towards him and to release that energy from his hands. This power is passive, allowing Bishop to absorb energy at all times.

When he releases the energy, he can release it as many different types of forms, usually in concussive blasts or in the same form as he had absorbed the energy although he can emit microwaves as well. He can also store energy in his personal reserves for increasing his strength, endurance, and (to an extent) his healing. He also has enhanced durability, resistance to poison and injury and is a skilled marksman and hand-to-hand fighter.

He carries guns that fire laser beams and plasma charges through which he can channel his personal energies.

Team Fighty Time! Fighty Time! Will take, in the Wildcard Hero / Villain category, the most badarse dude. Ever. Seriously.

The Saint of Killers



From the novel series "Preacher". A remorseless killing machine, raised again by the angels to track down and kill Jesse Custer. A little about him:

A deal was struck. The Angel of Death - who was none too happy with his job - offered his position. The dead man would take his place, bringing death at God's will. He would carry two guns, made from the Angel's sword. They would never misfire, and never run out. Every shot would hit, and every hit would kill. He could have his revenge and much, much more. The man agreed.

Ok, so the guy is basically the Angel of Death. But what is awesome? Never misses. Never runs out of ammo. Can't die. So he started with the Devil, and kept on going. He's been seeing blowing up tanks, and taking a round from a tank no issue.

The real kicker? HE KILLS GOD. Dude, seriously does it get more badarse than that? No. It doesn't. Also, anyone who hasn't read the Preacher series really needs to, it was amazing.

Some more about his powers:

The Saint of Killers is virtually omnipotent, to far greater extents than is seen in comics especially for a non-cosmic character. He possesses a durability on par if not surpassing that of Superman, so powerful that it allowed him to be hit by a nuclear missile and remain unscathed and his clothes undamaged. He then simply shrugged it off and said, "Not enough gun."
He is also, and was before gaining his powers, a champion marksman. He is so quick on the draw that an ordinary man cannot even watch it happen. He also has perfect aim and through many odd circumstances he has still managed to always hit his desired target.

The Saint of Killers is also superhumanly strong as evidenced by the fact that he stood his ground when Cassidy crashed into him with his truck and he did not move an inch.
But the power of his which is stronger than all the others is his hatred. It was his deep hatred that extinguished the fires of Hell, resulting in him being expelled from it.

Well since this category has confused me since the beginning of time, I will give it a shot. In the ALTERNATE category, I'm pleased to select CABLE!

Sorry guys, I will replace my previously illegal pick with HYPERION(Supreme Power)!



Hyperion was sent to Earth as a baby and raised by agents of the United States government in a secret government compound by a pseudo-family, under the auspices of a normal childhood, with the name Mark Milton.
Hyperion agreed to join the government's team, the Squadron Supreme.
