#1 Posted by batmanbeyond234 (1850 posts) - 1 year, 5 months ago - Show Bio

Attention,loyal Comic Vine posters! Today,we start the daily voting for the greatest fictional character ever! First,I will tell you all the first winner of this thread. Our very own,Sherlock Holmes. Let's hope we have a different winner this time.

Rules. You vote like this. Say,Zeus,Maka,Akuma,and Lister are competing. You vote like this.

1. Zeus- He is the god of lightning,after all.

2. Akuma. He made a great antagonist,and a fun character.

3. Maka- OK character.

4. Lister- Never saw Red Dwarf.

Like that. If two characters tie, we have a tiebreaker in the next match! Everyone ready?

1 - Hercules : Timeless heroics/qualities that many fictional characters still get weighed against if they want to earn their hero status (immense strength, determination even against huge odds)

2 - Grimlock : One of the more popular Autobots, As well as one of the few who could actually go toe to toe with Optimus physically. And his Bizarro like speech style was awesome too...lol

3 - Walter White : Haven't seen the show, but I hear it is pretty good...

4 - Lister : Again, never heard of him, but someone has to lose.

Who the frick is Grimlock?

Pretty sure Starscream is the most inconic Decepticon.

@RainEffect: Are you going to vote? Grimlock is...well, I have no idea who he is. He's Transformers and I know the name,so I put him at second place.

Am I restricted only to the five you first posted?

@RainEffect:For today,you may only rank the first four. Really,it doesn't matter,since Hercules and Grimlock are moving on anyway. Tomorrow, I update with new characters. And do that until there is only one character remaining.

Grimlock is an Autobot, leader of the Dinobots. (Even though Megatron, Devastator, and Soundwave may give Starscream a run for his money...lol)

The thing that was memorable about Starscream was that he was always trying to backstab Megatron, but he NEVER did. xD

Sure he did. Ultimately backstabbing Megatron is his most well know moment. Next to the penance he paid shortly after of course.

Really preference aside Optimus Prime holds the TF title. Grimlock isn't even in every series, much less the films.

1.Walter White- Main character from the best show

2.Hercules- True hero

3.Grimlock - just like the way he looks

4.Lister - while I liked red dwarf, I never really liked Lister, don't know why.

this is Walter (Heisenberg)

ROUND 1,MATCH 2

Hercules and Grimlock move on with 22 and 18 points respectively. Lister loses with 7, Walter with 13.

This round's contestants are Rimmer from Red Dwarf,Luke Skywalker from Star Wars,Hulk from Marvel Comics,and Roland Deschain from the Dark Towers series.

1. Luke Skywalker- The protagonist of Star Wars. While not very likable, he is the protagonist

2. Hulk. A man with a monster dwelling inside of him. A tragic tale.

3. Roland- Read the series once. Didn't think much of it.

4. Rimmer- Sorry. Never heard of you until today.

#18 Posted by Fetts (3164 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago - Show Bio

Again I only know two of these people.

-Luke Skywalker-he started as a farmer and ended up as one of the most powerful Jedi in the entire Star Wars Universe.
-Hulk-uses the power that he strives so hard to get rid of to save other people and was hunted by the military at the same time.
3. Roland and Rimmer-Don't know either of them.

@batmanbeyond234: Out of curiosity, could I make a match?

#19 Posted by batmanbeyond234 (1850 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago - Show Bio

@Fetts:Well, I could give you the list of Round 2 survivors and you could randomize them yourself. But none for this round, the matches have already been decided.

Luke Skywalker; one of the finest examples of a classic bildungsroman ever. Fantastic character in every respect.
Hulk - Boring without Banner
Rimmer - Not a King fan
Roland - Less of a Red Dwarf fan

1 - Roland Deschain - Going from my many years reading The Dark Tower paperbacks (but none of his comic appearances). Awesomely complex character in an awesomely complex and doomed tale. : )

2 - Luke Skywalker - I like him more than Anakin...but that may just be holding on to the original trilogy and the way it made me feel watching it as a kid.

3 - Hulk - Always identified with him/Banner, as I tend to bottle up everything from heart ache to anger. Just wish I could have a few rampages and blame it on a green guy.

4 - Rimmer - Never heard of him... : /

ROUND 1, MATCH 3

Luke Skywalker moves on with 30 points,and Hulk moves on with 21. Roland loses with 16, Rimmer with 11.

This match includes Morgoth,Maka Albarn,Cassidy,and Odd Job!

Morgoth, prime antagonist of the Silmarillion!

Maka Albarn,the scythe meister who defeated Asura the Kishin!

Pronsias Cassidy, friend of Jesse Custer who's love of life and honest vampirism fooled everyone about his dark past.

Odd Job,henchman of Auric Goldfiner who exceeds James Bond in skill in hand to hand combat.

1. Morgoth. The prime antagonist of one of my favorite novel. I loved the Silmarillion.

2. Maka. Maka gets annoying at times, but she is a great protagonist

3. Odd Job. I saw Goldfinger once.

4. Cassidy. Who? Also, what do you guys think of this style of character posts? Should I revert it to side by side or not?

1 - Morgoth: A bit of Tolkien bias here...lol

3 - Cassidy: I have no clue who he is, but the vampire aspect makes him interesting

4 - Maka: No clue...

Spock,Wolverine,Bender(Futurama),and Zoidberg(Futurama)

1. Spock- Easily in the top ten of most iconic fictional characters.

2. Wolverine- Pretty overrated, but still an OK character.

3. Bender. Never watched Futurama.

4. Zoidberg. Read the above. Don't you just love how the two Futurama characters are in the same match?

@batmanbeyond234: Tough...lol

1 - Wolverine : Hard to be an X-Men fan and not like something about Logan. And me still calling him Logan (instead of James) probably gives it away that I've been interested in him for a while.

2 - Spock: Never watched much Star Trek, and I still know this guy. Live long and prosper...lol

3 - Bender : Really hilarious character that I should watch more of. Futurama is probably all around better than the Simpsons...and has been for quite some time...

4 - Zoidberg : Someone had to come in last... : /
