Draft Order: 1. Team Ink 2. Team Pain 3. Team Tank 4. Team Taboo 5. Team Monkey 6. Team Dragon
DRAFT RECAP - Team Pain's Commentary in Blue!
1. The Punisher: Google some Mike Zeck art of our dear Punisher (especially Book One)to see exactly how crazed this kill em' all "hero" is. He has one of the coolest, most iconic costumes ever too with the white skull on black. Hell, he's even took over Captain America's job when he died, although he did it a much more violent style!
2. Jack Skellington: The perfect tragic hero laments, "But who here would ever understand, That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin, Would tire of his crown, If they only understood, He'd give it all up, if he only could.... Oh theres an empty place in my bones That calls out for something unknown, The fame and praise come year after year Does nothing for these e-mpty tears...."
3. Tank Girl: The movie version of Tank has one of my favorite quotes when she's asked how much she was paid to spy on the Rippers and she says "2 dollars and 15 cents!" It's classic. The Dark Horse comic book had some extremely stylized art panels and irreverence as well and she just flat out does punk better than all challengers.
4. Lara Croft: Team Taboo chose Lara for her ability to handle the BIG guns. This videogame character pretty much revolutionized the term dual-wielding as she rocked her two... um... pistols in giggly fashion. She's like a smart Indiana Jones... with boobs... very famous boobs.
5. Lightsaber: Red, Green, Blue... he has them all people, just maybe not in that order. I may be the only person on the planet that hasn't seen every Star Wars movie beginning to end, so this seems like an extremely solid pick, even if Team Monkey IS willing to share his Jedi. Jedis. Jedii... Hell, I don't know.
6. Gandhi: Team Dragon writes: Okay, so he's not your traditional superhero - but I think it's pretty awesome how his theory of nonviolent resistance ended up achieving independence for his country - he managed to organize the powerless, extremely poor people without communications technology, just walking and word of mouth, and he did it on a nationwide scale. If you didn't know it was a true story you'd think it was a myth or a legend. That's pretty damn heroic!
7. Hellraiser's Cube: People used to call other people "pinhead" when they wanted to insult them for being stupid, or belittle them. If they saw any of the Hellraiser movies, I doubt they'd be throwing that word around so foolishly. Hellraiser's Cube is like the Rubix Cube that Satan gave Azriel for Christmas... well, that would be if Satan celebrated Christmas. Maybe it was Satanmas, or something.
8. Taarna: If you can save all of humanity without even speaking a word, you are a force to be reckoned with. Taarna made the furrow of a brow super hot and powerful, and the fluidity with which she can swing a sword is amazing. She's slow and deliberate... think Jason Vorhees meets King Arthur, in a mute, feminine body.
9. Sub Girl: I have a feeling the entire Tank Girl universe could be drafted here. Played in the movie by the third-most famous Cusack sibling, Anne, Sub Girl is a tough hero to find online. If you don't believe me, try using Google Image Search for her name. Just don't do it while your at work!
10. Hydra: Hooray! Team Taboo is ready to go with a pick for monster. I choose the multiplying head monster from Hercules. This beast was nearly impossible to beat, and almost got the better of the amazing Hercules. It started off with two heads, but every time you cut one off, two more would spring from the wound. Near the time of its final death, it had hundreds of vicious, fanged heads. To conquer such a monster takes real wit and a clever mind.
11. Godzilla: I pick as a monster: Godzilla. And not the modern, computer-animated Godzilla who sadly failed to kill Mathew Broderick, nor the crappy old cartoon Godzilla who was voiced by a guy going "rawr!" I mean the guy in the rubber suit who waded through downtown Tokyo setting cardboard buildings ablaze and sending people screaming through the streets! Later, Godzilla made a career of defending Japan against even cornier monsters from outer space, aided by his friends Mothra and Rodan and Barragon and by the puppeteer who held the wire that supported his long tail. Godzilla is totally awesome and has more mojo than all of his planet-destroying imitators combined.
12. Frankenstein's Monster: Team Dragon says: My pick is Frankenstein's monster. I always felt sorry for him. He just wants to be loved, and instead gets attacked by angry villagers with torches :(
13. Harley Quinn: Sure, there's a book version, but you have to love the Batman: The Animated Series version of Harley Quinn. What's not to love?
14. Excalibur: Legendary for so many reasons. I'm so glad the Lady of the Lake shared this magical sword with the dear ol' Pendragons and gave us all that sword in the stone nonsense! Godspeed!15. Big Rod Prince of Darkness: Well, I must say that searching the Internet for "Big Rod" did not produce images of this Tank Girl villain, so I will wait until Team Tank sends me some to post them! lol I'm not familiar with this guy, but anybody who makes Tank Girl seem like the "good" one must be pretty dark, indeed.
16. Popeye's Spinach Can: Team Taboo writes: I think that means I'm next. For my object, I'm taking Popeye's spinach can. Naturally, it should have the same effect on all who eat/chug it in on gulp that it has on Popeye. He was able to run faster, lift boulders and throw the evil riff-raff across the U.S. I hope Olive Oil doesn't come with this...he can keep her. Ick.
17. Samwise Gamgee: Team Monkey writes: Hero: Samwise Gamgee, Assistant Gardener. That guy is teh awesom!!!!11! Not only has he got no special powers and no skillz, he isn't even the main protagonist. He doesn't even get to be a Christ-figure and suffer the virtuous angst of being the ring-bearer (except for, like, ten minutes in Cirith Ungol). But he sticks with his best friend* despite hardships, danger, and nearly constant bafflement, and he kicks Gollum's ass once or twice. Go Sam! *or possibly gay hobbit lover if you prefer the "raunchy" interpretation of Tolkien's work
18. Lyra Belacqua: Team Dragon writes: For female hero, Lyra Belacqua from Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials series. She saves the universe from the evil religious conspiracy that is trying to destroy it, and she's friends with a giant talking polar bear with opposable thumbs.
19. The Blob (Movie Monster): This movie is awesome, and I love that it takes an extremely deep freeze to soothe the beast. I can relate. I think this thing ate flies, beer cans, people... you name it. It was the Katamari Damacy of it's time.
20. Gromit: Cheese Gromit, we need more cheese! For every quirky invention or misguided misadventure that Wallace gets them into, there is Gromit to get them out of it. Perhaps the best dog ever, you have to appreciate his eye rolling, literature reading and putting himself out for Wallace in a show of blind devotion. He catches bad guys too... not bad.
21. Booga: This would've made a fine first choice in a Tank Girl kinda world, so certainly not bad to show up now. I'd rather hang out with Jet Girl, but Booga would be good for some laughs.
22. Elizabeth Bennett: Team Taboo writes: Next heroine is Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice. Perhaps an odd choice since she isn't exactly a physical strength, but she is one hell of a fighter when it comes to the mind. She went against all the beliefs during her era and that is pretty damn tough. She occasionally saved her family, an arrogant man and herself.
23. Jean Grey (Phoenix): Team Monkey explains it perfectly with: Because I was a 13-year-old boy once.
24. Pandora's Box: Team Dragon writes: Because I always wanted to know what was in it! WHAT IS IT??? I'm dying to know!! 
25. Chuck Norris: Team Ink doesn't choose Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris chooses him!
26. Severus Snape: Tragic heroes rule the day, and you can't get much more tragic than dear ol' Snape! As a bad guy, he's amazingly bitter and hilarious. As a good guy, he could be even worse, but you'd forgive him for it. He is the Half Blood Prince, after all.
27. Tank (as in, the vehicle): There had to be SOME way for the entire Tank Girl universe to get around, and now we have it. With graffiti that would make Norman Rockwell hang himself, this baby has a cannon that just won't stop.
28. Li Mu Bai: Team Taboo writes: From Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The guy was damn near unbeatable as he flew through the air. He defeated a strong warrior, whose weapon was a heavy sword, with a simple stick he found on the ground. He was also merciful as he saved the woman who tried to kill him.
29. Optimus Prime: You've got The Touch! You've got the power! Prime did it, he turned the tide. I never liked the cartoon nearly as much as the movie, still, it's hard to find any wrongdoing or injustice in the leader of the Autobots going to bat for Team Monkey. Nice choice, and a great bargain this late in the draft.
30. Jet Li: Sometimes a man is more important than the role. I think Team Dragon is wanting to rip off Li's mask and unleash the quiet thunder this actor surely possesses to pull off such powerfully introspective (and arse-kicking) roles.
31. Wonder Woman: Fighting for her rights! In her satin tights! Carter is even more memorable than her theme song. I think Team Ink is into the whole golden lasso bondage thing, if I am allowed to speak freely... hmm...
32. Ellen Ripley: I had lots of actresses in mind her that top Weaver overall, but for pure heroic character, it's hard to pass up Ripley. Just watch Alien, then Aliens... then stop, perhaps... but wow, she has some fierce bravery going on.33.

Simple rules: Have fun, don't stress! When it's your turn, "Reply All" as soon as its convenient with your pick, and you can't choose an item that belongs to a character that has already been drafted, or vice versa. Example: If Team Pain choose Harry Potter, another team can't choose his scar as their "Object" later. Or, if a team choose He-Man, a later team can't choose Prince Adam! Besides, we would laugh at you for that!
