I was thinking about the "Red" part. Didn't even think about the other thing.

WHOOPS! My bad. Wonder if it was either the keyboard key or my superspeed typing, lol. Thanks for catching that.

NP. Thanks for reminding me that it's a 'j', rather than a 'y'!

Almost Daredevil time! Crazy hype.

My favorite was when he was cleaning the lab, as Spidey and Lizard were trashing the school behind him. That was probably too long for this clip.

Nice to hear! Look forward on starting that up!

The first two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again .....

Not me ,
i would have preferred much more fighting action than just two fights between two full episodes ( 1 at beginning of first and one at the very end of second)
rest seems like a CSI drama-so.

However i continue to impress with the delivery of Charlie Cox as Murdock & Vincent Philip D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk-Kingpin.
They flat make the show thus far.

Spoiler: Spoiler

At least there's good story reason for less fighting so far. It will build up.

Cox and D'Onofrio are flat out amazing as their characters.

Just my opinion. I repeat. Just my opinion but I could not poke any holes in his arguments for all face-offs. Well done.

This makes me want to do a tournament a la @timb2 style.

I think I just developed an allergic reaction to nerdiness.

The Road to the Strongest DC or Marvel Superhero! This tournament uses CBR's rankings of the top sixteen DC superheroes (link) and top sixteen Marvel superheroes (link). I did not completely agree with their definition of superhero or rankings but choose their listings as a single, third-party source that judged both comic book companies' characters.

Seeding is best-to -worst per the separate rankings. The DC list was numbered odd one to 31 and the Marvel list was even numbered two to 32. For example, the lists have The Spectre and Hulk as their #1 choice, while Damage and Captain Marvel are both listed at #16. So, The Spectre became the #1 seed (odd) by default and Hulk became the #2 seed (even). Likewise, Damage became the #31 seed (odd) and Captain Marvel became the #32 seed (even).

The brackets and region for each pairing is shown in posts 4,413 through 4,416. Each round's voting will last three days each, with the start of each round ending and the next round beginning approximately at 6 pm CST. Here is the schedule:

Preliminary Round: March 16 - 19
The Sweet Sixteen: March 19 - 22
The Elite Eight: March 22 - 25
The Final Four: March 25 - 28
Superhero Championship: March 28 - 31

Please post your 16 winners for the preliminary round by March 19 at 6pm. Everyone is welcome to post their choices for the other rounds in advance but I will not be counting votes cast for future rounds! Posting tip: consider typing only the seeding numbers you choose instead of characters' names to save time typing. Good luck to your favorite character!

Which version of Thor? Cause Thor with Odin's power would probably trounce most of the list (Due to his powers considered being "magic," Kal El would likely not win (Much less Jon Kent) ) Thor without his fathers mantle would struggle against a lot of them. Captain Atom or Spectre would probably win overall (from what I remember of all these characters).

Per CBR's character mini-bio:

Marvel's God of Thunder is the Asgardian hero Thor, often considered the strongest superhero in the Marvel universe. His unmatched strength as an Asgardian god means he has few rivals. However, Thor increased his strength beyond Asgard's most powerful warriors through ancient runes and his connection to Mjolnir.​

​

Thor performed feats of strength that would've been impossible for any other superhero, and he did so with ease. Other powerful characters referred to him as one of the strongest beings in the universe. Thor became one of the few characters who could challenge characters like Sentry and Hercules when needed.​

​

The site does not distinguish which version but they do not mention Odin or even his royal lineage. I would say it is the latter version who replaced All-Father.

I have tons of respect for Thor Odinson. In my opinion, Jon Kent is more prone to magical attacks than his father as a Kryptonian/Human hybrid. I can see Jon being overwhelmed by Thor in short order.

Magic can potentially kill Kal-El but I would not automatically give Thor the victory in a head-to-head face-off. I would completely agree if Thor did a Loki and conjured kryptonite during the fight. Then I would consider Clark toast.

In this tournament, Thor is a #4 seed and Superman is a #3 seed. The only way they meet is in the final.

What I say next is just me and does not apply to anyone else's opinion. Unless something changes my mind, I do not see Thor advancing pass the Sweet Sixteen in my bracket. Personally, I blame CBR for ranking a certain mutant/cosmic entity as low as 10 in their list.

Like I said earlier, I do not completely agree with their rankings. And completely agree is an understatement.
