Super Team Match Up Go! Admin

Ok, we're going to make a big deal out of this
there will be two brackets. One is for effective characters. The other will be for losers (JarJar Binks, Tweeky, Muffet, Orko, etc)

Now, we need to decide who will be in this tourney, so I want suggestions. I'd like to get 8 in each of 4 categories (fantasy, sci-fi, 80s action, superheroes) for both brackets so we have some inter-genre fights going on. Be sure to identify which section your suggestions go in.

Some fighters, esp. in the 80s action category, could be teams, since the A-Team might have a shot at stopping some of the contenders in the other categories, but BA without the backup of Hannibal and Murdock ain't gonna cut it).

The two big boys are Marvel and DC
Not many casual comic readers know much besides those two though.

Superheroes:
Shi
Cerebus (could go in Fantasy just as easily)
TMNT

(and for the record, we'll throw supervillains in with heroes, since they're the same just with different motivations)

Is that for the lame or the effective side?
