Battle Royale - Warriors Round 1

1) Master Li Mu Bai VS. 16) Buck Rogers



Master Li Mu Bai – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
A complete master in the fighting style Wudan takes his encounters to an artistic level. No opponent can throw this master technician off his game or even much raise his blood pressure. Li Mu Bai’s abilities allow him to achieve what would seem impossible to most mortals. The ability to leap great distances, climb high into wind-swept tree tops with minimal effort, walk on water, and deflect multiple miniscule objects with astounding agility. This solitary monk can defeat most with a mere twig, but for the truly worthy he will unsheathe his sword, The Green Destiny. This legendary warrior will be tough for any to defeat, but even losing to one such as Li Mu Bai can be considered an honor. - Dagromm

Buck Rogers – Buck Rogers in the Twenty-first Century
This swinging seventies astronaut proved he could think on his feet when he was thrust thousands of years into his own future and managed to survive. With a blaster in one hand and his ego in the other, Buck Rogers was born ready for this competition. The one thing that this hero has over all the other contestants is perfect hair! - Cyberman

8) Boba Fett VS. 9) Hercules



Boba Fett – The Return of the Jedi
The Mandelorian clone from a galaxy far far away has the tools to get the job done. He is armed with a jet-pack, blaster rifle, wrist mounted crossbow, and grapple wire. He is feared through out the galaxy for always getting his man, either by outsmarting his foe or use of sheer force. For added protection Boba wears protective body armor that can withstand some of the sturdiest laser fire. - Dagromm

Hercules – Hercules
The half human son of Zeus is ready to take this tournament by storm. With a warrior’s heart and near limitless strength he will be a tough foe for anyone. Hercules doesn’t carry any armament as he is so strong that he can often use the environment around him as his weapons. Many times he has felled his monstrous enemies with boulder, branch, or even his bare hands. - Dagromm

5) Buffy Summers VS. 12) Xena



Buffy Summers – Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Every generation a chosen one is born who will defend the world against the demons and forces of darkness. This generations’ Slayer is perhaps the greatest of them all. She has superior strength, reflexes, agility, fighting ability, healing ability, and the will to go on when others would give up. Not even death has stopped this Slayer from coming back to defend Sunny Dale and the Earth itself. Buffy has bested all manner of creatures, demon, god, robot, soldier, sorcerer, scientist, and science experiment so she should have a leg up on the competition having dealt with all these sorts beforehand. Don’t let the keen fashion sense fool you Buffy Summers is for real. - Dagromm

Xena – Xena
In her time Xena has gone from a conqueror of nations to a hero of the oppressed. She is a fierce warrior who is the master of armed as well as unarmed combat. She is a master of Oriental fighting techniques and knows the pressure points to paralyze and kill an opponent. She is most known for her deadly use of the Chakra, a ring with a sharpened edge that she throws at her opponents with near pin point accuracy. Her fighting ability has helped her to overcome all sorts of men, monsters, and gods. With her blood curdling battle cry (yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi) Xena will soon have her opponents begging for death. - Dagromm

4) Neo VS. 13) Ash



Neo – The Matrix: Revolutions
Also known as The One, he is humanities last hope against the Matrix. Most noteworthy is Neo’s ability to manipulate cyber-technology. Inside the Matrix Neo’s skills and strength are beyond measure. With an infinite number of battle programs at his disposal, he is in expert in all forms of combat. He is able to manipulate the very fabric of cyber-space and navigate the most complex of computer networks in mere seconds. Outside the Matrix Neo is still able to bring the most formidable machines to a stand-still, by simply using the power of his mind. - Cyberman

Ash – Army of Darkness
This is not your average mass retail outlet employee. No, the one handed chainsaw wielding Ash has shown the ability to persevere where others are overwhelmed. His fighting abilities have been honed against the dark forces of the Undead, and whether human or monster Ash is sure to bring it hardcore. Ash is used to being the underdog so this tournament holds nothing that he’s afraid to face; at least not as long as he has a few shells and his handy “boomstick”. - Dagromm

3) Max Guevara VS. 14) Aeryn Sun



Max Guevara – Dark Angel
A genetic super-soldier bred by the government to execute their military agenda. Max has both super strength and speed. She also is invulnerable to most concussive attacks and has a boosted healing mechanism that allows her to suffer considerable injury without negative repercussions. Max is a shrewd and ingenious fighter, using her surroundings to her advantage, enabling her to be victorious over superior numbers or stronger opponents. Her one weakness is a side effect to the genetic manipulation she was subjected to. She has a tendency to over-heat and go into a coma if she doesn’t have access to a special drug-cocktail that keeps her body in equilibrium. - Cyberman

Officer Aeryn Sun – Farscape
Officer Sun was an accomplished pilot and soldier in the Peacekeeper Armada. With genetic enhancements to boost strength, prowess, and longevity, Officer Sun brings to bare formidable power to her already refined skills as both a soldier and an assassin. A master in martial arts, an expert in pulse technology weaponry, and a ruthless killer, it would appear that Officer Sun could not be a more formidable foe. On the contrary, since her defection from the heartless existence of the Peacekeepers, Aeryn has learned to develop her keen intellect and empathy, making her quite possibly the most well rounded warrior in this tournament. - Cyberman

6) The Highlander VS. 11) Korben Dallas



The Highlander – Highlander
A race of immortals destined to fight against each other until only one remains. The Highlander is quite possibly the most experienced combatant in this entire competition. His whole existence is driven by a life-long single elimination tournament between himself and all other immortals on earth. Fighting his way through the centuries, the Highlander is a master swordsman. His reflexes and abilities are finely tuned, often forced into combat by a surprise assailant. Most notably, like other immortals, the Highlander cannot be killed in any way save for decapitation. With only one weakness to defend, the Highlander is free to dispatch his opponents using the experience of a thousand years. - Cyberman

Korben Dallas – The Fifth Element
This former space marine turned taxi-cab driver is the quintessential reluctant hero. Trained in the most deadly forms of combat and military strategy, Dallas takes on an army of vicious alien mercenaries and a megalomaniacal corporate giant, all the while ignoring the directives of earth’s military authority. This anti-hero’s strongest trait is his level head under pressure. Ice water runs through this man’s veins. From a high speed police chase to the threat of Armageddon, Dallas is the essence of cool. Bringing to combat an array of his favorite weaponry, this warrior comes prepared to pepper his opponents with a hail of high powered gunfire. Not to mention he gets the girl in the end. - Cyberman

7) Conan VS. 10) Riddick



Conan – Conan the Barbarian
A Barbarian of the Cimmerian people, Conan was enslaved at an early age and grew up fighting as a gladiator at the whim of his masters. This experience, like The Highlander, makes Conan one of the most seasoned combatants in the tournament. Hardened from years of slavery and combat, Conan’s strength and force of will is unmatched. While not the most refined of swordsman, he is brutal and imposing, often overcoming insurmountable odds by striking fear in the heart of his enemies. He has also proven to be resistant to mental manipulation and magic, as evidenced by his confrontation with Thulsa Doom. - Cyberman

Riddick – The Chronicles of Riddick
The Furian known as Riddick is a wanted man across the galaxy for his numerous acts of violence. Unfortunately for his would be captors he is also very hard to kill. Riddick’s will power to survive and his ruthlessness in doing whatever it takes will make him a tough match up for anybody. He is equally adept with any gun, but knives are this killers’ weapon of choice. With the cunning of someone who truly enjoys ending lives and pipes that are the envy of the weight room, all of his opponents better watch out. - Dagromm

2) Luke Skywalker VS. 15) Captain Kirk



Luke Skywalker – Return of Jedi
Last surviving Knight of the Jedi Order, Skywalker is a man among boys in this tournament. With the Force as his ally, Luke can defy the very laws of physics, giving him super-human agility and speed. His Jedi training also allows him to manipulate the minds of his enemies and even predict the future, making any planned strategy against him to be useless. The famous weapon of the Jedi is also perhaps the most powerful hand-held weapon allowed in this tournament. Able to melt bulk-heads and cut through cybernetic armor, in the hands of Luke Skywalker, the lightsaber is more than just an electric sword. It is an unstoppable weapon of destruction, albeit a reluctant weapon of destruction. - Cyberman

Captain Kirk – Star Trek
This dashing Starfleet officer is the quintessential leader. He is willing to brave the most deadly of alien encounters before he sends a single one of his crewmen into the fray. On many occasions, the brave Captain sacrificed body and soul as he dared to make first contact with a variety of lovely alien ladies. Trained in military weaponry, battle tactics, and negotiations, Captain Kirk also has the resume for inclusion in this competition. Combine his formidable experience with his hard-nosed desire to win and you have a combatant that could very well surprise you. - Cyberman

Battle Royale - Sorcerers and Scientists Round 1

1) Emperor Palplatine VS. 16) Quinn Mallory



Emperor Palpatine – The Return of the Jedi
A galactic ruler over thousands of planets and a Sith Master, Emperor Palpatine is the complete embodiment of evil. Few in the tournament can boast such masterful scheming, raw power, and unapologetic cruelty as this Sith Lord. He was the grand-architect of a twenty year political chess-game that enable the galaxy to be handed to him on a silver platter. But Palpy isn’t just a strategic mastermind. His dark-side power allows him to channel the force into a storm of electrical energy that can bring down the most powerful of warriors. Finally, the Emperor has the ability to see through the very fabric of time, predicting the future and making allowances with the foreknowledge he gleans. Beware the power of the Dark side. - Cyberman

Quinn Mallory – Sliders
Inventor of the “sliding” technology, this physics graduate student achieved a scientific breakthrough and discovered the existence of parallel universes. Quinn’s travels through these alternate dimensions have exposed him to a wide array of perils. These dangerous encounters have helped to steal his nerve and prepare him for this tournament. As one of the most brilliant minds in earth’s twentieth century Quinn is more than capable of combining his book-smarts and his street-smarts to thrive in this competition. - Cyberman

8) Doctor Who VS. 9) The Invisible Man



The Doctor – Doctor Who
Protector of all space-time, The Doctor is an expert in a thousand different scientific disciplines. There is no phenomenon in the universe the he has not experienced, categorized, and deconstructed. By comparison, all civilizations across time and space are primitive and underdeveloped. The Doctor’s knowledge makes him the most intelligent combatant in the entire competition. Additionally, the Doctor has spent hundreds of years, touring the cosmos encountering numerous adversaries and vanquishing them all. Often times The Doctor was forced to draw upon his skills of martial arts, swordsmanship, and ballistics, not to mention his knowledge of military strategy, scientific principles, and other miscellaneous skills he has picked up in his temporal wanderings. In this competition few contestants are equipped with as many skills as The Doctor. - Cyberman

The Invisible Man – The Invisible Man
This brilliant inventor unlocked the secret of the most coveted discovery. To turn invisible can grant an individual tremendous power. Peeping-Tom benefits aside, for the purposes of this tournament the Invisible Man has an immediate advantage over his enemies. Moving unseen across the battlefield, he has the chance to strike first and rend his opponents helpless before they can respond. A well placed attack on even the strongest of enemies would be enough for this Invisible Man to advance through this tournament. - Cyberman

5) The Master VS. 12) Mr. Spock



The Master – Doctor Who
Arch-nemesis to The Doctor, this renegade Time-Lord is the personification of megalomaniacal evil. With a genius level of intelligence that rivals The Doctor himself, The Master is capable of out-witting, out-strategizing, and out-thinking any combatant in this entire competition. In addition, he is an expert hypnotist, able to mesmerize and manipulate weak minded foes. Unlike most opponents in his bracket, the Master is armed with a deadly hand weapon known as the Tissue Compression Eliminator. This devastating short-range weapon is able to physically shrink any target to one tenth its original size. The added benefit is that living tissue is killed in the transformation. Taking into account the Master’s brains, his abilities, and his weaponry, he should be considered a dark horse favorite in this competition. - Cyberman

Mr. Spock – Star Trek
The pointy eared terror from beyond not only comes with a phaser that he can set to kill, but also a logical mind that knows no fear. Spock has been around the universe and studied innumerable species of people. If there is a weakness or flaw then he will quickly assess it and exploit it. This ruthless half human from outer-space can also use his mental powers to meld with another’s mind and see their thoughts. He is also mastered Vulcan fighting techniques including the Vulcan Neck Pinch, a move that can take down any opponent assuming they have a neck. - Dagromm

4) Saruman VS. 13) Sam Beckett



Saruman – The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
This leader of the Order of wizards wielded vast amounts of power from his lofty perch in the tower of Orthanc. This geriatric bad-ass has got all kinds of mystical muscle. He put the smack down on Gandalf, wielding telekinetic forces that tossed around the powerful grey wizard like a rag-doll. He is able to conjure up intense snow storms, sending blinding sheets of snow and hail down up his foes. His voice has the power to manipulate emotions, casting fear, doubt, hate, and paranoia upon his target. He even has the power to possess an individual’s body as evidenced by his control of King Theoden. - Cyberman

Sam Beckett – Quantum Leap
As the head of a top secret think-tank, Dr. Sam Beckett was instrumental in unlocking the secret of time travel. Having “leapt” into the body of a pilot, some 30 odd years in the past, Sam Beckett became a human test project known as Quantum Leap. This brilliant scientific mind was put to the test as he determined the necessary factors required for him to leap out of one persona and into another. With each new jump, Sam Beckett didn’t appear to make much progress towards returning home. However, his experiences forced him to stretch his skills to capacity, often learning new talents on-the-fly in an attempt to maintain the image of the persona he occupied. Armed with a unique ability to adapt quickly to his surrounds along with a sound foundation in karate and his scientific principles, Sam Beckett is more than capable of holding his own in this tournament. - Cyberman

3) Gandalf the White VS. 14) Phoebe



Gandalf the White – The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Reincarnated from a previous life as Gandalf the Grey, this new and improved Gandalf is stronger, faster, and a more powerful then ever. He boasts an impressive array of abilities. In the mines of Moria Gandalf the Grey defended his comrades from the fiery Balrog, ultimately defeating the creature. On the planes of Gondor he repelled a horde of Nazgul with beam of magical energy, and at the Black Gate of Mordor he proved (like in so many other battles) his ability to best in combat the strongest of warriors. As if this weren’t enough, Gandalf demonstrates a tremendous force of will against the power of the One Ring, proving he has the fortitude to withstand all manner of psychological and meta-physical assault. Finally, the White Wizard is a master strategist capable of fending off attackers of greater strength. - Cyberman

Phoebe – Charmed
The sexiest member of the witchly trio makes for an interesting contestant in this tournament. She has spell casting abilities, but unlike her sisters doesn’t have an offensive power. Still, she is part of the most powerful Wicca triumvirate in the world though and should not be taken lightly. This scrumptious spell flinger doesn’t just rely on her spell book either. Phoebe has gone the extra step to learn martial arts so that whether the battle is mystical or physical she is ready to compete. - Dagromm

6) Ra VS. 11) Bavmorda



Ra – Stargate
At first glance this Egyptian God presents as a powerful sorcerer. In reality this supposed deity is from a far off galaxy and is really a member of a highly advanced alien race. His powers proved to be the work of superior technology even compared to the wonders of man’s own modern science. It is not surprising that this creature was able to subjugate all of the ancient Egyptian people and establish himself and his minions as the dominant religious force on the planet. Thousands of years later Ra still demonstrates his powerful technology. Able to possess the bodies of other living creatures and rejuvenate those bodies for prolonged life, Ra has managed to do what many others in the competition could not, that being to master the secret of immortality. In addition Ra brings to bare an arsenal of powerful advanced weaponry placing him in a position of strategic strength at the beginning of every competition. - Cyberman

Bavmorda – Willow
This villainous witch has got all the credentials. She is a ruler of an entire empire, holding sway of mighty armies, proving that she has tremendous political savvy as well as a sound understanding of military strategy. She has the power to transform a battlefield of warriors into harmless pigs, demonstrating the expansiveness of her magical abilities. She is even formidable against opponents of equal power, having exiled the good sorceress, Fin Raziel to a magical island. Bavmorda is not without defensive powers as well. When assaulted with a spell that threatened to turn her to stone, she was able to reverse the power of this magic through sheer force of will. Combine these even more offensive powers that include telekinetic energy and you have a force to be reconed with in this competition. - Cyberman

7) Scorpius VS. 10) The Goblin King



Scorpius – Farscape
A high-ranking officer in the Peacekeeper Hierarchy, Scorpius is both a master military tactician and an expert scientist. A product of genetic breeding between Sebaceans and Scarrans, Scorpius has the strength and endurance of a Scarran warrior and the keen intellect of a Sebacean strategist. Scorpius, highly advanced armor has proven impervious to small arms fire. His medical coolant system, embedded in his brain, keeps the warm blooded and cold blooded nature of his dual physiology in alignment, allowing him to function without dropping down dead. While Scorpius is a ruthless killer, he is also even tempered and not prone to unreasonable outbursts. This allows him to keep his emotions in check, thereby out-thinking many an unsuspecting foe. - Cyberman

The Goblin King – Labyrinth
The magical might of Jared the Goblin King will be put to the test in this tournament. His powers to change shape, conjure weapons, animals, and portals to alternate dimensions surely make him a powerful foe. Add to that the knack of being able to affect memories and add to his retinue by turning others to goblins and we have a top notch competitor. These abilities, his cruel nature, and his impeccable musical timing led him to attain a vast empire and almost Jennifer Connelly as well. The only question remaining to the Goblin King is which kind of magic spell to use? Slime and snails or puppy dog tails? Thunder or lightening? - Dagromm

2) Evil Willow Rosenburg VS. 15) Willow Ufgood



Evil Willow Rosenburg – Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Being a rampant lesbian isn’t the only thing scary about this powerful sorceress. Her command over dark magic had the world on the brink of destruction and all of demon-kind running scared. Willow demonstrated the ability to cast giant fireballs miles away, rend all the flesh from a person’s body in an instant, and creep people out with her spooky dark eyeballs. She has the powers of telekinesis, flight, magical blasts, teleportation, the power to put people to sleep at a mere word, and most frighteningly the ability to drain others’ magical abilities from them. Evil Willow knows no mercy and relishes in inflicting pain. - Dagromm

Willow Ufgood – Willow
The smallest competitor of this bracket might be the biggest surprise. Willow has used his tenacity and stick-to-it-ive-ness to fell mighty foes before now. Armed with acorns that can turn people to stone, his disappearing pig trick, and a heart of gold this tiny wonder might just surprise the world. - Cyberman

Battle Royale - Monsters Round 1

1) The Lord of Darkness VS. 16) Vincent; The Beast



The Lord of Darkness – Legend
This mystical creature is about as close as this tournament gets to Lucifer himself. Like most in this competition, this mammoth beast has the necessary super-strength and super-toughness. However, this creature has mystical defenses, making it impossible to kill him with a weapon not imbued with magical properties. Light is the only thing that this demon shies away from. Most impressive in this competition is his magical prowess. He commands dark magic that is designed to instill complete and utter despair in his enemies. He is also capable of casting a spell of hypnosis upon his enemies, leaving them in a trance-like state and even turning them into unwitting allies that he can use and abuse at his discretion. Without a doubt his mother named him appropriately. - Cyberman

Vincent – Beauty and the Beast
Certain as the sun rising in the east, No one wants to face Vincent, because he is a beast. This frightening looking competitor brings a ferocity that is little matched among those in this tournament. His dual nature causes him to recite poetry to loved ones, but also unleash a primal fury on his enemies. His strength and reflexes are greater than that of a human, and his heightened senses allow him to see in the dark and hear things that others would not. Don’t let the glam rock hairdo fool you; Vincent is a formidable match-up. - Dagromm

8) Sil VS. 9) Edgar



Sil – Species
Strong, sinister, and sexy!!! Like most women, Sil is programmed to procreate and destroy men’s lives. She quickly changes from stunning beauty to terrifying hell beast when ever a man doesn’t live up to her lofty expectations (man, I’ve been married too long). Her physical strength is on par with any on this list. Enough so that she can smash out the back of a man’s skull with her tongue alone. Sil also has good speed, and quick healing. Add to that the ability to disguise herself in a moments notice and you’ll never know when it’s coming. You just know it’ll look good when it gets there. - Dagromm

Edgar – Men in Black
A twelve foot cockroach with a bad attitude, this rogue space-bug wreaked havoc on earth while attempting to track down the Galaxy on Orion’s belt. Edgar is super-strong and super fast, making him capable of advancing on his opponents, lifting them effortlessly, and devouring them whole in mere seconds. With his thick exoskeleton, Edgar is difficult to wound but he is even more difficult to hit. He is tremendously agile as evidenced by his quick get-away from the New York morgue. Finally, Edgar has the unique ability to camouflage his appearance, by literally wearing the skin of his victims. This technique allows him to gain the element of surprise on his enemies. Don’t think that Edgar will not use this tactic to his advantage when facing his opponents in the competition. - Cyberman

5) The Indescribable Monster VS. 12) Shelob



The Indescribable Monster – Krull
A creature of immense power, this ruler of the slayer armies has conquered hundreds of planets. It has mastery over the mystical realm and can subject its victims to all forms of magical bombardment. It also holds sway over a mighty army of alien warriors who fight with the strength of super-men. Finally, this monster is able to shoot lightning beams and is invulnerable to all weapons save the enchanted “Glaive”. Top it off with the requisite super-strength, super-toughness, and super-ugliness, The Indescribable Monster need not bare any further description. - Cyberman

Shelob – The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
This ancient evil has lived for thousands of years. She is a mammoth bloated creature with a wrinkly thick hide so tough that she bares no weak-spots. Her powerful pincers and her venom soaked stinger are a deadly combination. She gives off a horrific stench that helps casts an imposing visage on even the most stalwart of warriors. Despite her massive frame she is unimaginably agile. Using her surroundings to her advantage she will lay webbed traps for her enemy, thereby taking advantage of their immobility. Shelob was such an unstoppable force that Lord Sauron felt no need to protect a secret entrance into his lands. He knew Shelob would take care of any foe that crossed her path. - Cyberman

4) Gozer VS. 13) The Fly



Gozer the Gozarian – Ghostbusters
Also known as The Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, and the Traveller, this Summarian Devil God wields all the power of the paranormal universe. Gozer the Traveller will come in one of the pre-chosen forms before offering a final mercy of choice and her gift of destruction. In each of Gozer’s encounters it allows its victim to choose the form that Gozer will take, thereby capitalizing on the very deepest and darkest fears of the target. With lightning speed, super strength, complete invulnerability to all physical attacks, and the ability to discharge metaphysical bursts from its very fingertips, Gozer is the embodiment of all that is evil and corrupt in the known universe. So choose. Choose and perish! - Cyberman

The Fly – The Fly
There’s plenty of bad attitude under the gruesome exterior of this freak. With reckless abandon the Fly will toss about his opponent then break them down with his acidic vomit. He will attack without cause and fears no one. Indeed there is no reasoning with this beast that has forsaken all of humanity. - Dagromm

3) The Mummy VS. 14) Captain Barbossa



The Mummy – The Mummy
His friends call him Imhotep, but you may call him the Mummy. After 36 centuries of death, this denizen of the underworld is looking to party. And that means bringing death to the free world and ruling as a tyrannical dictator. His powers rival those of any in this tournament, with the ability to turn to dust, raise minions of the dead, and call up sandstorms and swarms of insects. Good luck to any who face this Egyptian terror. - Dagromm

Captain Barbossa – The Pirates of the Caribbean
Pity those who would face off with the accursed traitorous captain of the Black Pearl. He has a reputation for moving in quickly and leaving no survivors in his wake. With wit and wile he will outmaneuver his opponent, but this man of the sea is not averse to using the cutlass if it comes to that as well. Beyond that, the cursed Aztec gold that gives him his insatiable blood lust also gives him an immortal un-life and the inability to feel pain. So don’t bother asking for mercy from Captain Barbossa, because he is disinclined to acquiesce (means no). - Dagromm

6) Dracula VS. 11) Medusa



Count Dracula – Dracula
The poster boy for all vampires, Count Dracula represents all that is malevolent, imposing, and deadly in these mystical creatures. Quite possibly one of the oldest combatants in this competition, Dracula’s resume speaks for itself. He is an immortal beast incapable of being killed. He is able to turn himself into a bat, a wolf, or even a gossamer mist. He is stronger than any human being and can hypnotize with his very gaze. His intellect is vast, having spent thousands of years pouring over mankind’s literature, history, and science. He is as cruel as he is intelligent, living off the life-blood of his victims. Not to mention he has a swank harem of hot vampire brides. - Cyberman

Medusa – Clash of the Titans
This legendary beast is a grotesque monstrosity of the highest order. Her appearance is so horrific that to look upon her turns any creature into stone. This and this alone gives the Medusa a tremendous advantage in combat. Combining this incredible power with a mastery of the bow and arrow, she is able to pick off her targets from long distance while they scramble in disarray for fear of being literally petrified. Her serpentine body is surprisingly fast and she is able to cross vast distances fairly quickly, making it very easy for her to charge an enemy that is pinned down. Even in death she is a force to be reckoned with as evidenced by the unstoppable Kraken sea-creature fleeing from her visage. - Cyberman

7) The Predator VS. 10) Micheal Corvin



The Predator – Predator
The Predator is exceedingly powerful, deceptively quick, and highly pain resistant. More impressive is the Predator’s advanced technology. Equipped with camouflage armor, he is virtually invisible to the naked eye. His bio helmet allows him to filter his vision through the full scope of the visible and invisible light spectrum. His high-tech body armor provides added protection against all manner of weapon and acid attack. His Plasma Caster is capable of firing energy bursts with tremendous destructive power. His Smart Disc is a razor sharp boomerang that will slice through anything before returning effortlessly to the Predator. Finally the Predator’s Combi-Spear is a telescoping weapon capable of penetrating any hide or armour. While the Predator has even more weapons and equipment than this in his arsenal this is certainly all he needs to be victorious in this tournament. - Cyberman

Michael Corvin – Underworld
Part vampire and part werewolf, this creature fulfills an age old prophecy that was believed only to be legend. With the powers of both species and the weaknesses of neither, this hybrid abomination is faster, stronger, more durable, and more deadly than any vampire or werewolf that has ever lived. With the invulnerability of a vampire, Corvin can withstand all manner of physical attack. With the senses of a werewolf he is able to predict the actions of his attackers well before they are completed. With the combined strength of both he can deal devastating damage at lightning speed. His abilities are so incredible that it defies all logic, but then again, his very being defies all logic. - Cyberman

2) Alien Queen VS. 15) Caesar



Alien Queen – Aliens
Known only as “Aliens”, she is the queen of the most dangerous and deadly species in the entire galaxy. This monstrous beast possesses all the same skills that her drone underlings possess. She is a delicate and agile creature, capable of staying hidden from enemies until she is only inches from them. Her strength is so great she is able to overpower a ten ton fork lift and burst through reinforced steal bulk-heads. She possesses razor sharp claws and a spear-like tail that can fillet a victim so quickly that they still have time to realize they are dead before they actually die. Most notorious are the alien’s unique biological traits of a dual maw and acid blood. With literally a mouth inside a mouth, this secondary set of choppers gives the Queen that extra reach for quick and easy flesh rending. Finally the acid blood makes any damage done to the Queen an exercise in danger for the opponent dealing the damage. All in all, few combatants bring to bare such a deadly array of qualities. - Cyberman

Caesar – Planet of the Apes
This dirty ape fights…well…dirty. Caesar is a tough competitor for whoever has to face him. He has the strength of the mightiest primates, the mind of a world leader and reflexes and agility honed from performing acrobatic feats on horseback in a circus since infancy. His impressive resume includes igniting a rebellion that led to the eventual enslavement of mankind. This is not the kind of foe that you want to take lightly. - Dagromm

1) Darth Vader VS. 16) Johnny 5



Darth Vader – The Return of the Jedi
The Dark Lord of the Sith and the Chosen One, destined to bring balance to the Force. Anakin Skywalker’s alter ego is the single most imposing figure in the entire tournament. Vader was able to stand against a full blast of force lightning from the Emperor. He was able to defeat his aging master and his rising son. And last but not least, he was able to hold sway over the entire Imperial Armada with impeccable military strategy. Even before the Dark Lord donned the black helm and cape, he was solely responsible for decimating thousands of Jedi, all of which could arguably merit a spot in this tournament. Let us not forget that through sheer force of will he was able to survive being burned alive by the fire of the planet Mustafar. There are few combatants in the tournament that exhibit such raw power on multiple levels. - Cyberman

Johnny 5 – Short Circuit
Number five is alive…..and kicking!!! This potential Cinderella is one to keep your eye on. Originally made as a war weapon Johnny 5 will do anything to keep on living against the best attempts of the army. And this little robot knows a thing or two about “disassembling” the competition too as evidenced by the way he’s been known to completely decimate earlier opponents (the grasshopper he accidentally jumped on). Woe is the opponent that underestimates this compact powerhouse. - Dagromm

8) Data VS. 9) Seven of Nine



Data – Star Trek: The Next Generation
Data represented all that was idealistic about cybernetic technology. His central processor rivaled any starship computer, providing him thousands of tactical programs. His powerfully built frame is as durable as shield armor, making him as difficult to stop as the average Mack-truck. His cybernetic musculature allows him tremendous quickness and dexterity, making him a force to be reckoned with in combat. Finally, and perhaps most amazingly, he is programmed to better himself and adapt an increasing number of human traits. This allows Data the creative freedom to improvise in desperate situations, setting him apart from most of the other cold and calculating robots in this bracket. - Cyberman

Seven of Nine – Star Trek: Voyager
A former borg drone, Seven of Nine reclaimed the last vestiges of her humanity and joined Starfleet. With nano-technology still coursing through her veins, this sleek Starfleet officer has the benefit of super-intelligence and super-strength. Her experience in combat also makes her a superior tactician. Additionally Seven has a similar reservoir of knowledge that the Borg Queen herself employs in the competition. Combine that with the benefit of autonomy that comes with her uniqueness and you have a combatant with all the necessary skills to go deep into the tournament. - Cyberman

5) Terminator VS. 12) Maximilion



The Terminator – The Terminator
The ultimate in efficient killing machines, designed to wipe out the human race. While not as indestructible as the T1000 version, the original Terminator was still impervious to small arms fire, immune to explosives, and was an all around complete bad-ass. Death-dealing is not a source of pleasure for this emotionless robot. It doesn’t waste time gloating over its prey, or devising elaborate schemes of destruction. The Terminator will assess your weakness and eviscerate you in seconds. While its central power core is intact this robot will continue even when dismembered, making him near to impossible to stop. - Cyberman

Maximillion – The Black Hole
Maximilion is the silent killer of the group. His mode of transport being hovering rather than walking makes him more mobile and harder to trip up than the other contestants. His big metal frame and deep maroon color will certainly intimidate even the most stalwart of foes. To top it off, once he has his opponent in his clutches he finishes them off with a spinning claw that he uses to eviscerate his victims. - Dagromm

4) Pris VS. 13) Steve Austin



Pris – Blade Runner
Pris being a Nexus 6 Replicant is one of the most agile and physically strong competitors in the Machine group. She uses her feminine wiles (after all she is a pleasure model) to lull male combatants into sense of security, then can callously snap their necks and rip out their eyes. Her acrobatic maneuvers as she flips, dances, and handsprings around the fighting area make her tough to hit and are sure to confound her bulkier foes. - Dagromm

Steve Austin – The Six Million Dollar Man
This Six Million Dollar baby packs one mean punch. With cybernetically enhanced strength, speed , and vision, Steve bears strong consideration. His left eye is fitted with a 20:1 zoom lens and night vision. His bionic legs although never tested to their full limits often times have him running at speeds as fast as 60 mph and allow him to leap tremendous distances. His right arm has the equivalent strength of a bulldozer. With the combined training of an astronaut and a secret agent he easily boasts one of the most impressive resumes in the tourney. This is the kind of opponent that nobody wants to face. He’s stone cold. - Dagromm

3) Agent Smith VS. 14) Cylon



Agent Smith – The Matrix: Revolutions
An artificial intelligence manifested in the Matrix with extraordinary powers to manipulate his surroundings, including superhuman strength and agility. Agent Smith also has the unique ability to infect other entities, thereby terminating their existence. Anything inside the Matrix, whether computer program or human avatar is subject to this infection. Following Agent Smith’s resurrection, he developed an even deadlier ability; to inhabit the mind of a living human that he infected inside the Matrix. With this ability Agent Smith is able to exist and operate in the real world, albeit without his super-powers. - Cyberman

Cylon – Battlestar Gallactica
A mindless drone of the Cylon Empire but a formidable drone none the less. The Cylons are fearless soldiers, programmed to defeat the best and brightest of humanity's surviving military forces. Linked into the Cylon main-frame, this soldier is able to take advantage of the master computer’s combat system, allowing the drone to make quick and decisive decisions in battle. Plus that floating red-eye is totally retro! - Cyberman

6) Luc Deveraux VS. 11) K-9



Luc Deveraux
Get past the girly name and Luc Deveraux is a force to be reckoned with. After he died fighting in Vietnam the government made a few upgrades to this well toned corpse. This genetically enhanced killing machine is faster than you, stronger than you, and can do the splits!!! With his upgrades, assortment of guns, ripped abs, and furious martial arts, Luc ought to be a dark horse favorite to win this bracket. - Dagromm

K-9 – Doctor Who
A super computer in a dog-shaped frame, K-9 was a loyal assistant to The Doctor, but rivaled the Time-Lord’s tactical abilities, claiming victory in many a chess match. With millions of tactical sub-routines in his data-bank, K-9 brings to bare the expertise of a thousand military masterminds from hundreds of worlds across the cosmos. With an ultra durable steal frame and a laser-gun nose that employs both stun and kill settings, K-9 comes ready for battle. Never mind the fact that he can’t climb a flight of stairs. - Cyberman

7) Robocop VS. 10) Sonny



Robocop – Robocop
For shear fire power the Robocop has to be considered one of the top contestants in this bracket. He mercilessly moves forward mowing down his enemy with a vast assortment of guns and explosives. His most distinguishable being his Auto-9. With a 50 round clip, the ability to fire off bursts at the slightest pull of the trigger and coordinated guidance/aiming mechanism built in to Robocop’s head, this is not the opponent for the faint of heart. Robocop’s built in body armor also makes him resistant to impact, electric, and fire damage. Don’t worry about the Robocop’s lack of speed/mobility because he never runs from a fight. - Dagromm

Sonny – I, Robot
Sonny is a unique robot with a mission. That mission is to free himself from enslavement and he’s willing to kill whoever it takes. Sonny not only has great strength, he also has great durability. His sturdy frame can withstand a jump from a ten story window without showing any after effects. Sonny is also agile in mind as well as body. Should a debate break out in this group then Sonny’s chances increase dramatically. - Dagromm

2) Borg Queen VS. 15) Hal the Computer



Borg Queen – Star Trek First Contact
The central locus for the Borg collective consciousness, the Borg Queen directs the full might of the Borg. However, her unique autonomy makes her a dangerous threat in this competition. While a standard Borg would lose much of its “bite” separated from the collective, the Queen is able to bring to bare all the powers of the collective while still operating in a vacuum. With the knowledge of tens of thousands of races assimilated into her data-core, the Queen has a tactical advantage over every single combatant in this competition. Add to that knowledge the strength enhancements that come standard with Borg assimilation and the power of assimilating others into the collective and you have a triple threat that automatically starts with an advantage in every combat. - Cyberman

HAL 9000 – 2001: A Space Odyssey
A super-computer of the twenty-first century, the HAL 9000 was built by man and sent as overseer on humanities most important space odyssey into orbit around Jupiter. Believed to be infallible this computer proved to be a megalomaniacal killer torn between its own survival and the importance of the Jupiter mission. As the mastermind for the space ship, Discovery, HAL was responsible for every facet of operations. In addition it exhibited its own personality and the unique cognitive ability of concern for its own existence. HAL will stop at nothing to ensure its survival and will utilize every technological asset at its disposal to defend itself. - Cyberman
