    Loki overpowers Thanos to take his place in the grand final. Now we just need to determine who he will be up against.

    The following tie is a heavyweight Marvel vs DC clash which in itself would have been worthy of being the final...


    Magneto

    VS










    The Joker

    It's the archenemy of the X-Men, Magneto, taking on the archenemy of Batman, The Joker.

    Which of these supervillains should reach the final? First to 5 votes gets the glory.

    Wow, an exciting semi-final there in which I thought we were going to see The Joker have the smile wiped off his face. Magneto led 4-2 at one point (!), but The Joker turned it around and came through.

    We now have our final two villains and I will shortly post up the details of the final. Stay tuned...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    The time has come, ladies and gents. We started off with 64 of the most dastardly supervillains around and now we have our final 2. It will be a Marvel vs DC showdown involving two mischievous and malevolent foes and it will be down to you fine folks to determine which villain comes out on top.

    As was the case with the Best Superhero tournament, to ensure maximum participation, in this final we will have a 24 hour time limit for receiving votes. Simply put, the supervillain with the most votes by this time tomorrow will be the winner!

    (Note - if it's a tie after the time limit expires then I will do a Ceann Comhairle job and cast a vote to break the deadlock.)

    Now let us eye up the finalists...




    Loki

    Path to the Final

    Rd 1 - Defeated Black Adam
    Rd 2 - Defeated Madame Hydra
    Rd of 16 - Defeated The Green Goblin
    Q-Finals - Defeated The Kingpin
    S-Finals - Defeated Thanos










    VS











    The Joker

    250px-Joker_%28Alex_Ross%29.jpg


    Path to the Final

    Rd 1 - Defeated Abomination
    Rd 2 - Defeated General Zod
    Rd of 16 - Defeated Kraven the Hunter
    Q-Finals - Defeated Apocalypse
    S-Finals - Defeated Magneto



    It is over to yourselves to determine which supervillain triumphs. The vote will close tomorrow aka Friday, May 6th, at 10 p.m.

    So boardsies, for the final time in this game, cast your votes now.

    The one and only. The man who makes Batmans story the best in the superhero universe. The Joker!

    Once again, I could toss a coin, it's that close, but I've decided to go with Loki and I think a lot of that does come down to Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of the character.

    Loki for the win!

    Loki for the win !!! for coming from absolutely know where in media terms was always a fantastic character but nobody really knew him until the 1st thor movie, where as the joker has had a presence in media since the 60s with the crappy tv show

    Joker without a doubt!
    He is the ultimate supervillain.


    The whole intrigue of the Joker is that he is nameless, pure evil and also hilarious and likeable.

    Joker all the way!!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,286 ✭✭✭Brief_Lives


    I voted for the Joker, but I loved Neil Gaiman's use of Loki in his Sandman stories... a brilliant version of the trickster...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    We started with 64 of the most ruthless supervillains around but now we have the one that stands above them all. The supervillain who the users of Boards have decided is the number one bad guy around. And that supervillain is...



























    The Joker!

    250px-Joker_%28Alex_Ross%29.jpg


    The maniacal Joker has triumphed! In a truly nail-biting final battle it is The Joker that takes the tie by 8 votes to 7.

    Loki fans almost got their choice over the line. Loki led the bout right from the start and at various points led 5-2 and 6-3, but The Joker's fans ensured it was tied at 7-7 and it was the final vote by lougal88 that took The Joker into the lead for the first time in the match - a lead he would not relinquish.

    If it had finished as a tie then I would have had to break the deadlock and my vote would have gone to The Joker. Although I like Loki, I have hugely enjoyed The Joker's movie portrayals but especially Mark Hamill's portrayal in the animated series, and that would have sealed my vote.

    That then wraps up the supervillain tournament. My thanks once again to everyone for their involvement and helping it run smoothly.


    What's next...?


    So we've done a best superhero tournament, and now a best supervillain tournament. Where to next? Well, I propose we finish this whole shebang off in the only fitting way possible - let's pair the superheroes and supervillains off against one another!

    I will take our final 32 of the superhero tournament and our final 32 of the supervillain tournament, pair 'em off, and have them face each other in a final, ultimate tournament. Will it be Batman that emerges on top? Will The Joker have the last laugh? Or will we see an upset and a new character stand tall?

    I hope to launch the Superhero vs Supervillain tournament this Sunday, May 8th, in the evening. I hope to see you there.

    Now all that's left to do is hit that Partyman song by Prince and let The Joker do his victory dance. As for Mr Wayne and the rest of the superheroes, get ready because the supervillains are coming!
