			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This blog is pushing through like a kidney stone. So, buckle up. There could be a lot of blood.<br />
This one&#8217;s gonna be a slap-fest. We&#8217;re pitting &#8220;probably gay&#8221; Mr. Fantastic v. <a href="http://omg.yahoo.com/news/hugh-jackman-i-m-not-gay/21667?nc" target="_blank">&#8220;maybe gay&#8221;</a> Hugh Jackman.<br />
Yeah, I know, Wolverine gay? He&#8217;s the bad-assiest bad ass ever? Well, did you see Jackman host the Oscars? Yeah, neither did we, but we heard it was a bunch of tight pants Broadway bullshit.<br /> </br><strong>Round One: Mr. Fantastic v. Wolverine</strong><br /> </br><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1877" title="75682-104528-mr-fantastic_super" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/75682-104528-mr-fantastic_super-300x216.jpg" alt="75682-104528-mr-fantastic_super" width="300" height="216" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Mr. Fantastic</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-1878"></span><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Reed Richards is not someone whom most associate with ass-kicking, at least not anyone with a penis bigger than <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2009/04/23/naked-man-tasered-at.html" target="_blank">this guy&#8217;s</a>. And it most likely has everything to do with his skinny rubber arms. But apparently, he has crazy strength and power. He&#8217;s super smart and has control over his molecules, which would be great for a circus monkey or a porn star. Sadly, neither of which Mr. Fantastic cares anything about. He&#8217;s too busy making Stephen Hawking look like Stephen Baldwin.<br /> </br><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
This is irrelevant with Mr. Fantastic. He has Sue Storm. And if she was really even half as hot as <a href="http://www.hollywood-newsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/jessica-alba-ass.jpg" target="_blank">Jessica Alba</a>, he&#8217;d take a break every 10 minutes to show her what was so fantastic about Mr. Fantastic. I mean really, dude? That name makes you sound like a big-haired, steroid raging, professional wrestling, ladies man. But no, you&#8217;re more like McLovin, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd5eForFXls" target="_blank">a twenty-five year old Hawaiian organ donor.</a> You&#8217;d at least think he would become proficient in being able to work the microscope in his lab with one hand and then with the other hand stretch into the bedroom and <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=double+clicking+the+mouse" target="_blank">double click Sue&#8217;s mouse</a>? But no, you have marital issues. They write this shit into the comics? It was part of the plot in the movies? WTF? I&#8217;ve touched on how this emotional bullshit ruins the Fantastic Four. I know two things:<br />
1. Here at EJ we know nothing about feelings and relationships.<br />
2. We do know, however, this sort of bullshit doesn&#8217;t belong anywhere in a Marvel monthly. We want more smashing, less whining.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
No. But I would pee in <a href="http://thetrawbros.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/jessica-alba-bikini-07.jpg" target="_blank">Jessica Alba&#8217;s butt</a>.<br /> </br>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/onetaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/onetaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/onetaco.jpg" alt="" width="63" height="38" /></a><br /> </br><br /> </br><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1888" title="181-2" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/181-2-196x300.jpg" alt="181-2" width="196" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Wolverine</strong></p>
<p> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Weapon X strong. Bad ass temper. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoM6IFiyRjE" target="_blank">Sweet name</a>. Yeah, Logan can kick some ass.  He&#8217;s a ninja.<br /> </br><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
Wolverine does alright with the ladies, which probably has a lot to do with his amazing sideburns. He&#8217;s in the X-men, which has it&#8217;s fair share of hotties. And he&#8217;s a bad boy, so he&#8217;s every slut&#8217;s dream. But, you gotta figure, with that temper, he might be very capable of going Chris Brown on your ass. So, ladies, tread lightly.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
Absolutely. He likes to drink, mostly because his life sucks and it dulls the pain, but also because he takes joy in breaking shit. This is a trait we can appreciate.<br /> </br>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="39" /></a><br />
<br /> </br><strong>Head-to-head: Not even close. Logan wins in a landslide. Mr. Fantastic takes every opportunity to be a douche. He neglects his hot wife. He was behind the plan to exile Hulk to Sakaar. And he was partly responsible for the Skrull invasion. You, sir, are useless. On the other hand, Mr. Jackman, this movie that you&#8217;ve preached you care so much about better not suck. Wolverine, you are <a href="http://inknerd.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/hulk-vs-wolverine-strangecity.jpg" target="_blank">loved</a>, but truth be told, I&#8217;m going dressed up as Deadpool. Sorry.</strong><br /> </br><H2>ADVANTAGE: WOLVERINE</H2></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah, yeah, I know&#8230;it&#8217;s been awhile, but I&#8217;m back. It&#8217;s been hard to motivate what with figuring out how to spend all the money I&#8217;ve been winning during March Madness and then digesting the <a href="http://tvbythenumbers.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/number-six.jpg">Battlestar Galactica </a> finale. Anyway, here&#8217;s another epic installment of the greatest blog event in the history of history.<br /> </br><em><strong>Round One:</strong></em> <strong>Silver Surfer v. Punisher</strong><br /> </br><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1744" title="silver20surfer" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/silver20surfer-201x300.jpg" alt="silver20surfer" width="201" height="300" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
The Surfer is another one of those characters that on paper looks to be <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/dan.ray22/R8Gs2PRLoPI/AAAAAAAAAV0/3VsGOhXz4Kk/372C0858-98F7-47F0-BC44-52931D9F00A6.jpg">god-like</a>. His Cosmic Power, a &#8220;gift&#8221; from the giant purple world-eater whom he served for most of his time in comic books, in its description should make this guy unbeatable. He is, in a way, the blue-print (sorry) for Dr. Manhattan, and not only because they look similar and don&#8217;t wear pants. Surfer can bend time, alter matter, heal, and inhibit other mutant&#8217;s powers. He can also manipulate the evolution of organic life. Pretty cool.<br /> </br><span id="more-1743"></span><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
He&#8217;s a bit blinged out, but at least he doesn&#8217;t have a silver dong flopping around? Sleek. Simple. And girls are like fish. They&#8217;ll hit anything that&#8217;s <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ldE9ldIXAcw/SQXeWNosZlI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/kQ6BaI9illc/s400/Al_as_SS.jpg">shiny</a>.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
Well, Surfer&#8217;s a bit of a loner.  He&#8217;s all &#8220;I&#8217;m a slave. I miss my family. Life is a prison.&#8221;, so I can&#8217;t imagine he&#8217;d be much fun?  However, he looks like a robot, and EJ loves robots, so why not?!<br /> </br><strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="39" /></a></strong><br /> </br><img src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/punisher_teaser_print01-202x300.jpg" alt="punisher_teaser_print01" title="punisher_teaser_print01" width="202" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1747" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Oh, Frank Castle.  Where do we begin?  On one hand, Punisher might be Marvel&#8217;s most epic fail.  On the other hand, he has some of the best potential.  The mostly low budget attempts at bringing Punisher to the silver screen have probably damaged his rep.  However, if you read his books, he&#8217;s the ultimate bad ass.  Actually, given his family situation and all, he has a lot in common with the Surfer.  And if anyone with zero mutant-like powers could crack this tournament, it&#8217;s Punisher.  Maybe it&#8217;s because I enjoy the mob angle, but I think Mr. Castle is underrated.<br /> </br><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
Pretty sweet.  We like the skull.  He&#8217;s very McGuyver meets Batman meets Sayid from Lost.  And we know Sayid pulls the honeys.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
We&#8217;re discovering a theme here.  Superheroes and supervillians, for the most part, have social disorders.  So obviously, Frank Castle is a bit of a sociopath.  Coming over for poker night probably isn&#8217;t in his skill set.<br /> </br><strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twohalftaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twohalftaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twohalftaco.jpg" alt="" width="162" height="39" /></a></strong><br /> </br><strong>Head-to-head: Another close one.  At first I thought Silver Surfer takes this round easy?  But Punisher always had a counter.  His weapons.  His steel-toe boots.  Thomas Jane.  Dolph Lundgren.  It was close, but, in the end, Surfer&#8217;s always been one of my favorites.  And, although Slappy can better detail the Surfer&#8217;s current situation in the Hulk/Skaar universe, I like how he&#8217;s being developed.</strong><br /> </br><br />
<h1>Advantage: Silver Surfer</h1>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back to it, jags.<br /> </br><em><strong>Round One:</strong></em> <strong>Iron Man v. Lex Luthor</strong><br /> </br><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1534" title="202467-83749-iron-man_super" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/202467-83749-iron-man_super-193x300.jpg" alt="202467-83749-iron-man_super" width="193" height="300" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
The movie. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14XlWIXEuYs">Yeah.</a> Pretty good. Moving on.<br />
Iron Man is the original. A gold and red standard. He&#8217;s been dead a few times, or not. He&#8217;s fought everyone, lost and won. He&#8217;s got brains and strength due to various factors. The reactor in his chest. And some crazy techno-virus he injected himself with which makes him even more like a cylon. Understand, we dig robots. And we&#8217;re doing everything we can to align ourselves with the robots when they decide to take over the world. Everyone should know by now you&#8217;re going to either side with the robots or the zombies? The choice is simple. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvrva8NoMLM">Need proof, skeptic ones?</a><br />
But to get back on point, Iron Man can pretty much kick whatever ass he wants. And if he can&#8217;t, give him 5 minutes, and he&#8217;ll figure it out.<br /> </br><span id="more-1529"></span><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
Tony Stark is dapper, to say the least. And the Iron Man suit works. He&#8217;s got no problems here. Except for that Joey Fatone, Slappy McNutsack pencil-line goatee bullshit.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
Yes, but only to &#8220;sweep up the crumbs&#8221;. Or &#8220;fall on the grenade&#8221;, as the kids say.<br />
Now, here&#8217;s the main issue. Tony Stark, to me, seems like a bit of &#8220;fingers in too many pies&#8221; kind of guy. With SHIELD, Stark Industries, the Illuminati, all this Civil War bullshit. Personally, I think he should stick to bangin&#8217; reporters and building weapons. Maybe bust the head of a terrorist or a Skrull once in a while?<br />
Yeah, the Civil War story was shit.<br />
What he did to the Hulk was crap. He just seems like a bit of a douche.<br />
Let&#8217;s call him the Alex Rodriguez of super heroes? <em>&#8220;Yeah, sorry I fucked shit up. Probably did shit ass-backwards in my prime. But, hey, I win games for you in the regular season. And, shit, if you&#8217;re lucky enough to draft me in your fantasy league next year, with those all those bitches the Yankees signed this winter, you got a puncher&#8217;s chance. Right?&#8221;</em><br />
I&#8217;m just saying.<br />
Probably a nice guy, though.<br /> </br><strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="39" /></a></strong><br /> </br><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1539" title="297872-82253-lex-luthor_super" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/297872-82253-lex-luthor_super-235x300.jpg" alt="297872-82253-lex-luthor_super" width="235" height="300" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Lex Luthor? Really? Yeah, really. DC has a pretty good knack for criminal masterminds. A Joker v. Luthor battle would be dirtier than a Jessie Janye porn, but we&#8217;re not that kind of website, I think?<br />
Anyway, Lex is brillant and, at times, has the world&#8217;s greatest superhero, Superman, by the scrotum. So, that&#8217;s worth somethin&#8217;. He&#8217;s a sociopath, a trait we can appreciate.<br /> </br><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
<a href="http://savalas.tv/media/images/recordcovers/this%20is%20telly%20savalas.jpg">Telly Savalas </a> with the attitude of Courtney Love? No thanks.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
No. It would be awkward. Like him with his shiny kryptonite ring, holding a furry white cat, saying &#8220;My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet&#8221; awkward.<br /> </br><strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twohalftaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twohalftaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twohalftaco.jpg" alt="" width="162" height="39" /></a></strong><br /> </br><strong>Head-to-head: This one ended up closer than expected. You got the Tony Stark/Alex Rodriguez thing. But you&#8217;re mostly jealous because he&#8217;s rich and makes Hugh Hefner look like Kenneth the NBC Page. And weapons are cool. Then you&#8217;ve got Lex Luthor who&#8217;s been in a movie with Richard Pryor. So, it was close.</strong><br /> </br><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the play-in matches are finished&#8230;and in the immortal 11th century words of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uSvFVo5uCE&#038;eurl=http://www.eviljalapeno.com/?p=1404&#038;preview=true&#038;feature=player_embedded">King Philippe and Princess Leonore</a>, let the games begin.<br /> </br><em><strong>Round One:</strong></em> <strong>Thing v. Hulk</strong><br /> </br><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1408" title="thing1" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/thing1-198x300.jpg" alt="thing1" width="198" height="300" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s Clobberin&#8217; Time!&#8221; is a pretty lame catch phrase. Makes me cringe almost worse than &#8220;HULK SMASH!&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m the Juggernaut, Bitch!&#8221; But there&#8217;s no arguing Ben Grimm&#8217;s 100 ton strength. However, &#8220;rock&#8221; men are a dime a dozen, right? I&#8217;m thinking <a href="http://www.neverendingstory.com/images/Image047.jpg">this guy</a> from that one <a href="http://www.neverendingstory.com/images/Image099.jpg">awesome movie.</a> And then there&#8217;s this <a href="http://www.opengroup.com/sports/images/(SC)The_Rock_Photo.jpg">this guy.</a> Don&#8217;t get me wrong, Thing can stomp some ass. But maybe I&#8217;m hung up on the science? How does he sit in a car? Or fly in a jet? I mean apparently even if your bag weighs one pound over fifty it costs an extra $200 in jet fuel? I&#8217;m just sayin&#8217; that unless he&#8217;s made of pumice&#8230;he&#8217;s got bigger weight issues than Oprah.<br /> </br><span id="more-1404"></span><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
This trait has been well documented since the Fantastic Four seem to be one of the more &#8220;let&#8217;s explore feelings and relationships and drama&#8221; comic book runs. Meh. Probably why I don&#8217;t really read Fantastic Four, but anyway. Thing has issues. He&#8217;s all sensitive and shit. Bullshit. You&#8217;re an ass kicking machine. Suck it up.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
When he&#8217;s not whining about being ugly, sure. He&#8217;s been around forever in almost 2000 books. He&#8217;s fought everybody since 1961. He&#8217;s a grizzled veteran.<br /> </br><strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twotaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twotaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twotaco.jpg" alt="" width="123" height="41" /></a></strong><br /> </br><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1474" title="86770-39762-hulk_super" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/86770-39762-hulk_super-199x300.jpg" alt="86770-39762-hulk_super" width="199" height="300" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
The Incredible Hulk is the monster trapped in all of us. Wait, so here&#8217;s a spoiler&#8230;he wins this round so know we&#8217;ll have plenty of time to discuss his power later. For now, a couple of things to consider&#8230;pissing him off makes him stronger. Detonating an atomic bomb in his face, well, that damn near brought the end of the world. Hulk is pretty much unstoppable, unless you&#8217;re playing chess.<br /> </br><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
The purple pants? Yeah, we don&#8217;t get it either? But it doesn&#8217;t really matter because if your name isn&#8217;t Betty Ross or Caiera, he&#8217;d smash your face.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
Probably not. It wouldn&#8217;t be much of a conversation since he mostly grunts. And if you beat him in darts, he&#8217;d probably make you into a dart and throw you through the building, through the block, out of the city, and into the ocean.<br /> </br><strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="39" /></a></strong><br /> </br><strong>Head-to-Head: These two are very similar but very different. Simply put, we like Hulk more. Hulk is a deal breaker for The McNutsack. He&#8217;s gonna push for Hulk to win it all. He wants to be Hulk, and rumor has it he kind of is when a workplace subordinate screws up. He&#8217;ll just break a piece of office furniture and toss it out a window, snarl, grunt, and point to the door? At home he <a href="http://www.marvel.com/i/content/st/1749new_storyimage4301140_full.jpg">paints himself green</a> and has those <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yAJnDxqfOPQ/SPPMEclnhOI/AAAAAAAAAd8/ZkWo8MmwwBk/s400/Hulk+Fists.jpg">giant foam Hulk fists</a>. Apparently, he wears them poolside as beer koozies? Although most recent storylines have disappointed, Hulk has great staying power for a main character. As for Thing, well, he needs his team. He needs Mr. Fantastic. He&#8217;s pretty much Reed Richards&#8217; little bitch. Possibly ruined by Hollywood, no probably ruined by Hollywood (Sorry, but it&#8217;s a factor here in our stupid little blog. Our rules, so suck it.) so when I think of Thing, I think of an orange Michael Chiklis wearing a retarded hat and a trenchcoat. Of course, then I think &#8220;Is he naked under there?  So, if he is, and a breeze picks up, does his dick get hard? Or is it already hard since he&#8217;s kind of made of stone?&#8221;. Anyway.</strong><br /> </br><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Round One (Play In):</strong></em> <strong>Nick Fury v. Deadpool</strong><br /> </br><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1336" title="382169-132920-deadpool_super" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/382169-132920-deadpool_super.gif" alt="382169-132920-deadpool_super" width="379" height="375" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Disclaimer: Deadpool is my favorite comic book character. But we&#8217;ll do our best to be as fair and level-headed as possible during this little process. So, Wade Wilson, if that&#8217;s really his name, is the quintessential bad-ass ninja motherfucker. He has no fear, probably because he can&#8217;t be killed, and he has Weapon X coursing through his veins, so he&#8217;s nearly unbreakable. He&#8217;s fought Wolverine, Hulk, and the entire Skrull army without breaking a sweat. And we haven&#8217;t even started to discuss his ability to handle blades and guns.<br /> </br><span id="more-1186"></span><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
Awesome red ninja suit. Check. Samurai swords dangling everywhere. Check. <a href="http://www.tuckermax.com/">Tucker Max</a> attitude. Check. Sure he&#8217;s got some butterface issues with the whole constant molecular instability thing, but, hey, the clothes make the man, right? We&#8217;ve got this friend, we&#8217;ll call him Tito Schma-nilla, anyway, most of the time he looks like a homeless clown that&#8217;s been scuba diving in the Missouri River all day. But if you throw a borrowed suit coat on the guy, he pulls any single mom he winks at. So, since Deadpool mostly gets by with his charm, he gets a pass here.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
More importantly we want to hit a gun range with this guy. Then beers. Then a gentleman&#8217;s club. Then the gun range again. Before noon.<br /> </br><strong>Score:</strong> <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="39" /></a><br /> </br><br /> </br><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1350" title="598436-1_super1" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/598436-1_super1-210x300.jpg" alt="598436-1_super1" width="210" height="300" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Ok, Nick Fury, you kick ass. You&#8217;ve got access to SHIELD technology. You&#8217;re a strategist. And you have an eye patch. Strikes against you include the military-mojo and that you kind of look like Tom Cruise in &#8220;Valkyrie&#8221;.  Military and comic books, at least to Dr. Meat, don&#8217;t mix very well. Tanks, bullets, and angry generals might have made for crazy interesting story lines 30 years ago, but now we need more. Nick Fury, you bore us. You try to keep up by riding the coat tails of SHIELD, Stark Industries, and all the latest tech, but sorry, dude. You&#8217;re old. The Infinity Formula needs to wear off. Nice run, though.<br /> </br><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
Nah, well, maybe. Cougars, probably. You gotta figure Nick Fury and Hannibal from the A-Team kill it poolside at the casinos in Palm Springs. But, man, the eye patch. You&#8217;d think SHIELD could come up with some kind of prosthetic eye or functioning weapons targeting system or just install a laser sight or something? I mean, shit, what are you a pirate?<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
We&#8217;re gonna say yes. Simply because we&#8217;d like to hear stories about the glory days. And maybe we could get him to slip a snort of that Infinity Formula into our scotch?<br /> </br><strong>Score:</strong><a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="39" /></a><br /> </br><strong>Head-to-head: Nick, this is a contest because you&#8217;ve been around forever. But, frankly, you could be the greatest thing since Cheddar Jack Cheez-its and still not advance because of maybe two of cinemas gravest mistakes. <a href="http://i3.iofferphoto.com/img/1162540800/_i/15167741/1.jpg">David Hasselhoff</a>. And Samuel &#8220;Snakes on the mother fuckin&#8217; plane!&#8221; Jackson. Come on, Marvel. Have some dignity. Deadpool, you win because Nick Fury shit the bed.</strong><br /> </br><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Round One (Play In):</strong></em> <strong>Venom v. Joker</strong><br /> </br><img src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/venom.jpg" alt="venom" title="venom" width="280" height="390" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1093" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Venom could be the reason Dr. Meat even started reading comics back in junoir high.  Well, more than likely the real reason was because I didn&#8217;t have much to do growing up in a small BFE town until I discovered masturbation and jazz choir.  But anyway, Venom was pretty bad-ass.  Snarly and gnarly, an alien with huge sharp teeth, and with an affinity for Spiderman.  These are things we like.  However, lately, Venom has been teetering on the edge of villian and hero.  This is something we don&#8217;t like.  Come on, dude, you&#8217;re evil.  Look in the mirror.  Yeah, those are fangs.  Heroes don&#8217;t have fangs.  Anyway, it&#8217;s back and forth, depending on the host and what-not, so we&#8217;ll give him the benefit of the doubt&#8230;for nostalga&#8217;s sake.<br /> </br><span id="more-1113"></span><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
We like the costume.  He is the costume.  But it probably only appeals to goth chicks that cut themselves.  No thanks.  Super strength and the ability to mimic and absorb the powers of hosts is all very super powers average.  And that tongue is nasty.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
This is a toss-up.  On the one hand, Venom holds a dear spot, in at least Dr. Meat&#8217;s cold, black heart, and he got me through some tough times growing up.  Like the time I led a group of a friends into the woods to find that dead body along the railroad tracks.  Those older kids following us sure were bullies.  And then there was that one time when I moved to a new town, didn&#8217;t have any friends, but tried to play baseball even though I really sucked.  And almost died when that huge slobbering dog almost ate my face.  That sucked.  But then on the other hand, Venom is gross.  And that suit is organic so it&#8217;s proabably got some funk.  To the point, Venom would probably drool in my Bud Light.  Not cool.<br /> </br><br />
<strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twotaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twotaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twotaco.jpg" alt="" width="123" height="41" /></a></strong><br /> </br><br />
<img src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/joker.jpg" alt="joker" title="joker" width="400" height="600" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1125" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Is insanity a super power?  In Joker&#8217;s case, yes, most definetly.  We like to think he&#8217;s as nasty as they come.  He&#8217;s a twisted criminal mastermind who would cut your throat, make your girlfriend drink the blood, all while wearing a skin suit of your mother.  Laughing.  There&#8217;s no questioning the evil-ness of Jack the Joker.<br /> </br><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
We don&#8217;t know.  We don&#8217;t want to know.  We don&#8217;t want even think about it.  Clowns are fucking scary.  And Joker is a cross between Michael Jackson, Marylin Manson, Charles Manson, and Anna Nicole Smith (when she was fat).<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
Yeah, no.  He&#8217;d Sebastian Janakowski it, then when we&#8217;re out cold, he&#8217;d thread us into human puppets and make us re-enact the sex scene from Team America: World Police.<br />
<br /> </br><br />
<strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twohalftaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twohalftaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twohalftaco.jpg" alt="" width="162" height="39" /></a></strong><br />
<br /> </br><br />
<strong>Head-to-head: A close one, but Joker is just too fucking nuts.  And Venom has been lost in our childhood.  Joker is the more sophisticated man&#8217;s criminal.  His lack of super powers, which makes him rely more on his vicious mind actually gives him an advantage over Venom.  But don&#8217;t forget Venom loses a few points now since those images of Topher Grace are permanantly burned into our brains.  He really fucked shit up for us, however, it was mostly the fault of that son of bitch, Sam Raimi.  But we&#8217;ll get into that shit much later. </strong><br /> </br><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>Round One (Play In):</strong></em> <strong>Magneto v. Hellboy</strong></p>
<p> </br>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong></strong><img class="size-full wp-image-950      aligncenter" title="89831-28833-magneto_super" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/89831-28833-magneto_super.jpg" alt="89831-28833-magneto_super" width="210" height="315" /></p>
<p> </br>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Well, there&#8217;s no questioning the awesome-ness of Magneto&#8217;s power. I mean who&#8217;s really gonna fuck with a guy that can literally rip the iron from your blood? He&#8217;s a brilliant mastermind with huge plans for world domination, however, those plans are always foiled by a cripple in a wheelchair? And he&#8217;s old, probably shares robes with Gandalf the Grey, and he&#8217;s old. But he can fly.<br /> </br><span id="more-979"></span><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
We mentioned the robes. His colors, purple and red, provide a good combination of evil and power. And that helmet looks like something that could deflect a Vulcan mind-meld. He has super strength and stamina due to his control of electromagnetic fields, so we imagine that impresses the ladies down at the nursing home.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
No. The generation gap would probaby be a bit much. Plus, he&#8217;d probably bitch quite a bit about being stuck in that Nazi prison camp growing up. Anne Frankly, he&#8217;s probably not much fun. And we&#8217;d be twitchy from the homoerotic vibe thing he&#8217;s got going on with Professor X. Although, being from a European descent from way back when, he probably enjoys some decent darker beers, which we can appreciate.<br /> </br><strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threetaco.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="39" /></a></strong><br /> </br>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-963" title="183057-158480-hellboy_super" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/183057-158480-hellboy_super.jpg" alt="183057-158480-hellboy_super" width="400" height="508" /></p>
<p> </br>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Hellboy is a demon. He&#8217;s strong as shit. He handles <a href="http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/4690/135566-27750-the-good-samaritan_large.jpg">The Good Samaritian</a>, his big fuckin&#8217; gun, like a champ. And his attitude, is like ours, shoot first ask questions never. We&#8217;re pretty sure you don&#8217;t get up after a punch in the face from <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/explorer831/hb1.jpg">The Right Hand of Doom</a>, either.<br /> </br><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
Shit, he looks like the devil. How bad-ass is that?! Pretty sure Red could pull any Suicide Girl he wanted. So we&#8217;re big fans and would probably dress exactly the same if we found ourselves born in the bowels of hell with an apocalyptic destiny. Might let the horns grow out though.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
Easy. Yes. It would be a bar crawl. Most likely ending up with all of us passed out in a dumpster behind the dirtiest strip club in town.<br /> </br><strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/threehalftaco.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="39" /></a></strong><br /> </br><br /> </br><strong>Head-to-head: You might think, based on sheer mutant power, Magneto would destroy Hellboy. But, you&#8217;d be wrong. Hellboy&#8217;s ability to pull more ass and hold his booze, along with that demon shit, put him over the top.</strong><br /> </br><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Round One (Play In):</strong></em> <strong>Robin v. Ghost Rider</strong><br /> </br><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-994" title="215659chris-o-donnell-posters1" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/215659chris-o-donnell-posters1-240x300.jpg" alt="215659chris-o-donnell-posters1" width="240" height="300" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Firstly, Robin doesn&#8217;t belong in this tournament. He&#8217;s here to satisfy our gay readers. No, actually he&#8217;s here because he&#8217;s been around forever, and we decided that all-time top 10 characters in comic book appearances automatically get in. So, sadly, we are left with one of the original sidekicks. Almost makes you wonder how comics even got popular? Maybe they aren&#8217;t? Maybe they never were? Maybe we&#8217;re delusional? No, we are delusional, but somehow comics survived the original Batman television series. And somehow, somewhere, somewhen Robin must have had a purpose. And even more strange&#8230;he&#8217;s become relevant again now that Batman is dead.<br />
Back on point, Robin&#8217;s ass-kicking abilities. So, there&#8217;s 3 of these guys, but we&#8217;re gonna focus on the more well-known stuff. He&#8217;s a circus acrobat (shocker), so he has some agility. He has access to Batman&#8217;s toys, so he&#8217;s a mooch. That just means he can Bat-hook the shit out of you, then Bat-repel off a bridge and out of sight. Fine, but we don&#8217;t have much more to say about this. When we think of Robin, we think he could handle Jack Nicholson joker but not Heath Ledger joker.<span id="more-1107"></span><br /> </br><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
Yeah, no. So you&#8217;re the side kick to the Dark Knight and you&#8217;re shit&#8217;s all bright yellow and bright green and bright orange? Tights. Moving on, we can&#8217;t even talk about this crap anymore. Robin could be up against Smurfette in this category and get blown. out. However, the newer stuff is encouraging. And not as flamboyantly Boy George.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
Probably not. Guaranteed it would be at a martini place, and we&#8217;d have to wear nice clean shoes. We wouldn&#8217;t have much to talk about since we don&#8217;t live with our parents anymore, and we like evil.<br /> </br><strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/onetaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/onetaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/onetaco.jpg" alt="" width="63" height="38" /></a></strong><br /> </br><br /> </br><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-997" title="ghostrider" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ghostrider-203x300.jpg" alt="ghostrider" width="203" height="300" /><br /> </br><strong>1. Kicking Ass.</strong><br />
Johnny Blaze has the attitude of a stuntman and has a flaming skull. We&#8217;re all about skulls and fire and evil, but Ghost Rider doesn&#8217;t so much back up the hype. Sure, he gets his power from basically the devil, himself. But, frankly, the whole motorcycle gang, chaps, steel-toed boots bad-ass routine bores us. However, we wouldn&#8217;t want to take a shot from that flaming chain.<br /> </br><strong>2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina).</strong><br />
Well, you figure a guy confident enough to wear a black leather jacket gets his fair share of tail. Even if he&#8217;s picking them up in Sturgis, South Dakota and they&#8217;re all wearing American flag bandannas? No thanks.<br /> </br><strong>3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?</strong><br />
Sure. You can bet we&#8217;d be in a dive bar that serves MGD through tap lines that smell worse than Amy Winehouse&#8217;s feet, and we&#8217;d end up getting shit-bombed playing Big Buck Hunter until the sun came up. There&#8217;s also a good chance we&#8217;d end up with new tattoos.<br /> </br><strong>Score: <a href="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twotaco.jpg"><img class="alignnone" title="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twotaco.jpg" src="http://www.eviljalapeno.com/images/tacoscalemedium/twotaco.jpg" alt="" width="123" height="41" /></a></strong><br /> </br><br /> </br><strong>Head-to-head: Not even close, although these clearly aren&#8217;t two of our favorites, Robin&#8217;s costume alone warrants a hate crime. And he doesn&#8217;t even really have any powers, unless you count being good at cartwheels and resembling an elf? So congrats, Ghost Rider, you are officially in the tourney. But you won&#8217;t last long. </p>
<h1>Advantage: Ghost Rider</h1>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the first in a mini-series of impossibly amazing battles to determine the definition of awesome. No, we aren&#8217;t talking about Ronald Regan and Mikhail Gorbachev. We are starting these off with quite possibly the greatest argument in annals of nerd history. Could Superman take the Hulk? Who would be the better bitch, Robin or Tobey Maguire? These important questions and more will be answered in what will surely be a greater spectacle than dinner at Medieval Times. And more entertaining than the usual web surfing for shots of Britney&#8217;s <del datetime="2009-01-04T06:22:47+00:00">caesarean scar </del>vagina. Yes, you&#8217;d be right in assuming this colossal waste of time is done mostly while pretending to have real jobs, but when we&#8217;re not at work, it severely cuts into our time online playing Call of Duty and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKTiwCez6Zs">watching 80&#8217;s hair band music videos on youtube.</a> We do it because we care. And because we all want to get fired, move to Bali, and open a frozen banana shack. Enjoy and here&#8217;s one more&#8230;for the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHqoBlQ7mW8">true fans.</a><br /> </br>Winner advances based on three categories:<br />
1. Kicking Ass<br />
2. Ricockulous Costume (aka Ability to Pull Vagina)<br />
3. Would We Want To Have A Beer With This Guy?<br />
<em>Round One Coming Soon</em><br /> </br><em>Note: Seedings are equal parts whatever we think, longevity, and shut the hell up.</em></p>
