Elminster can deal with gozer, he went to hell and killed the strongest demons and undead, including demogorgon, if you aren't familiar with the forgotten realms.

Elminster has every spell from dungeons and dragons universe (nerdy I know) including slay undead, timestop, all that crazy stuff.

Sam fisher vs you

It looks like this part of the bracket is going to be a walk for the favorites, but because most people aren't familar with the majority of the names on my roster, I think I'll use this opportunity to demonstrate their power.

I'm leaving Diablo and Chernabog on the bench for this one to save their energy for the next round.

So, Mr. Nakamura has a mastery over time, eh? That's cute. So does The Shrike. And while Hiro is the happy-go-lucky, lovable image of good intentions, The Shrike is weaponized wrath and will likely leave our plucky time-travelling hero writhing for eternity on the Tree of Pain ... that is, if it doesn't chose to perform a vivisection on him instead.

I see the Spectre is DC's "spirit of vengence". This makes Alma giggle. And while she has been known to dabble with brutally destroying her enemies in particularly gruesome fashion much as her opponent this round, she excels at utterly eradicating their sanity; a particularly valuable skill against a hero known for using flawed logic to justify murderous vigilantism. And should things turn sour (or Alma merely gets bored), I'll point the the end of the bench and call on Chernabog to simply conquer and command the Spectre's vengeful soul. Welcome to the dark side Spectre.

Chev Chelios? Lobo? Noah Bennett? These are just the anti-heroes of dubious character Eris prides herself preying on. A simple offer here, a little challenge there and before you know it, chaos has erupted in the heroic headquarters or, even better, my team has just become three members stronger. Of course, should any of them have the presence of mind to see through Eris' ruse, The Shrike will make short work of them. And by short work, I mean instantaneous work.

That just leaves the mythos of Chuck Norris to deal with, and for that I'm learning from the mistakes of evil masterminds before me and taking no chances. I'm calling in a being of equal omnipotent, cyber-mythos lore: Cthulhu.

It helps that Cthulhu was embodying humanity's most basic nightmare decades before Mr. Norris was badass enough to get his butt kicked by Bruce Lee:

Chuck Norris doesn't sleep, he waits ... to be instantly destroyed in mind, body and soul by Cthulhu.

Bump. Still a couple days for these playoff match-ups. Get out the vote!

Let me ask you this who is dead?

I'm thinking a lot of people on this forum are in line for a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.
