From the makers of awesome lists like the Comicvine's Ultimate, Greatest Superhero Team, Comicvine's Top 100 Superhero List, and Comicvine's Top 100 Villains List. We bring you (as Monty Python would say) “Now for something completely different.” Instead of a list we are going to eliminate characters in bracket form until there is only one survivor.

The Concept

1. There are four brackets.
2. Each bracket has it's own blog.
3. Each week we will vote on one tier of the four brackets.
4. The voting will technically start on Mondays and end on Saturdays. Sunday's will be the tallying.
5. The list includes heroes, villains and supporting characters.
6. Each character is seeded loosely by most appearances.

The Rules for voting

1. You must be awesome.
2. You can vote on each match-up of the tier. So, week one will have 32 match-up's for each bracket. You can vote on all of them or just one.
3. You must know both characters in the match-up. Do not vote just because you like one character and yet have no idea who the other is.
4. The only criteria for voting is your love of the character. It is not based on power of popularity just what character you like better.
5. In order to vote you must have either a thousand posts or a thousand wiki points. I have to apologies for this rule up front. It is not my desire to leave anyone out but, there are too many users who make multiple accounts to slant the vote. This is an attempt to remedy that. It is unfortunate some people can ruin it for others. Note: I cannot and will not check every user who posts to see if they have a thousand wiki points but if the vote looks suspicious and you don't have either the wiki or post criteria I will just simply not count your vote.

Disclaimer

1. I am sure there are awesome characters missing from the list. If I skipped your favorite I am sorry. Doing something like this does take a lot of time and work, but no matter what I do it will never be perfect. Someone might have added a character I left off or I might have made a mistake and missed someone. These things happen. Please, don't whine about it in a bunch of posts.
