Since the internet brought geeks and fanboys together, a question has constantly popped up, one that continues to be the source of much debate: "Who would win in a fight between these characters?". Let's find that out. For the next five to seven days, fictional characters will be elected to participate in a 64-man, single elimination tournament, to determine who among them is the most powerful character. The rules for the nomination process are as follows:
-You may nominate up to 8 entrants. You can't nominate a character more than once, but may, of course, nominate less than 8 characters.
-The character must be defeatable by reproducible means. If a specific sword or metal is necessary to defeat a character, he/she is not elligible. If esoteric, nigh-impossible to discover knowledge is necessary to defeat a character (like knowing where a lich's phylactery is), he/she is not elligible.
-Characters under the influence of a one-time power-up cannot be nominated. If a power-up is replicable and the character can use it without extenuating circumstances, you may nominate the character under its effects. Example: Super Sonic can be nominated, Gordon Freeman with the Dark Energy Gravity Gun cannot.
-Don't nominate characters whose powers are up to speculation, or undefined. For example, nominating the Star Child from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Characters with extremely open powers are allowed, *as long as the extent of those powers is quantified*.
-Characters from previous MPFC contests may be nominated, but keep the above rules in mind.
-Comic Book characters must have a listed era chosen for them from which they may draw feats, to prevent their bloated continuities from encouraging cherry-picking. Stuff outside that era will not be allowed for feat-fishing come match time. Failure to follow this rule will result in me not counting your nomination, or, if you draw feats from outside the chosen era during a match and try to sell them as belonging to that era, the character being disqualified. An era may cover up to five years of history, give or take a few months, limited by reboots and the like.
-Providing writeups for the characters you nominate isn't necessary, but it is appreciated. I will create writeups for characters who don't have one, but they may not be as complete as they could be if you, the nominator, made them instead.
-No "you're not Ed" jokes, please. For every time someone makes that joke I will add one nomination to a random bracket busting character. If you wish to get a running gag going, please start up a new one.
That is all. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.
