Supervillain Tournament Of Evil — WINNER ANNOUNCED!
The Longbox Graveyard Supervillain Tournament of Evil is complete, and the winner is …
DOOM!
Galactus got off to an early lead in the voting, but Doom built momentum throughout the week, and ending up winning handily, 60-40.
With his victories over Red Skull, Darkseid, Joker, and finally Galactus, Doctor Doom truly proved himself the greatest supervillain of all. All four of Doom’s foes were world-class … there was no easy matchups for Doom. Despite strong competition, Doom’s average margin of victory was 47 points!
Doom is in a class by himself.
(Now, if only the movies could get him right!)
Here’s the final bracket for our tournament:
Thanks to everyone who voted and commented in the tournament (and the comments section is open, below, to Praise Doom). If the fates are kind we will be back here next spring to run another tournament. Or maybe the Fall! I have an idea for a Halloween-month tournament that I might indulge …
… but for now, ALL HAIL DOOM!

So, do we congratulate Vic for this dubious honor?

I think we need to start a Doom support group and get him to participate in a Galactus-sized group hug. He’s gonna be emotionally devastated by this patently heinous misrepresentation of his true character as a benevolent monarch and progressive-thinking super-genius. Poor guy. I feel for him. Oh the tragedy! The humanity!

There’s a dynamite Marvel mini-series to be written about Doom as the man of the hour to solve Europe’s economic and refugee crisis. As a paranoid totalitarian, Doom’s always been ahead of the curve. Not the villain we want, but the villain we need!

Doom does not crave your pathetic adulation. He demands only respect, and obedience!

I’ve thought about doing a creator bracket here for March Madness, but Kirby’s victory would be an even bigger lock than Doom’s!

I saw grey clouds and felt a chill wind blow into town today, silencing the spring chirping of the birds and sending the children crying into their homes.
Now i know why—truly a shadow has fallen on mankind today.

Yeah, sorry, Mars … I don’t have an issue citation for you. Just snagged that one from a Google Image Search for “Doom Kills Galactus!”

I see now that Krackles was not referring to the “world’s greatest comic magazine” as the generic byline for the main Fantastic Four series. It was the title of a 12-issue limited series in 2001. Doom gets the Cosmic Cube and takes out the big G with it. I shall put it on my reading list! Thank you, Krackles. Sorry for being clueless.

You are welcome.
I could have been more specific about the collected 12-issues limited serie.

I think it was a miniseries, wasn’t it? Maybe ten, fifteen years ago.
Yeah, it is pretty cool!

That’s more like it, mlp. I wondered where what happened to the retort you promised before.
You were much missed at the final.
