I would go with Element Lad.

He could change all the oxygen in the room to a knock-out gas (except for a little bit around his own head

Invisible Kid just cause I like the underdog.

huh? again? okay here it comes:

Tough to chose between two of my favorites. Although it seems that Jan should be able to win this easily, along the lines of what Quis describes, I would think that Lyle would be prepared for that. I think he would be able to hold his breath long enough to take ELad out with a chop to the neck or something.

Jan surveyed the room. "It doesn't matter if you hide from me, Lyle. I don't need to see you to affect the air you breathe."

Lyle appeared a few feet in front of him. "I won't hide."

"I promise you it'll be painless, Lyle."

Lyle shook his head. "Do you really want to do this, Jan? We've been playing this game long enough."

"We've come this far."

"And for what? We've hurt our friends, some terribly. Fleiderweb still can't walk upright after what Krypto did to him, and Garth can't eat anything but soup for a month."

"But the contest...."

"Has been a success. By each of us standing up and facing off with each other, we've paid tribute to the perseverance and inner strength of the Xanthu people. None of us backed down. Even when the match-up was incredibly lopsided."

Jan moved to speak, but Lyle continued.

"The Legion's our family, Jan. You're the last survivor of your world. Do you want to be known as the last survivor of the Legion too?" He held out his arms.

"N...no." said Jan, moving towards Lyle. They embraced. "You're right. We'll do this together. It's over."

They smiled. And looked at each other, worn but exultant. Triumphant. Legionnaires.

And then Lyle let go with a right cross which sent Jan sprawling unconscious at his feet.

FIN

ROTFLMAO

Outdoor Miner, you have by far the most unique sense of humor of anyone on Legion World (and that's saying alot considering some of the posters here!) I can always count on your posts for a good laugh. Thanks!

(test)

I'll go with Element Lad then just to push more support his way...

Thank *you*, Vee. I really appreciate that.

(You have no idea how much I wanted a Lyle/Condo faceoff in the final....)

Jan was meditating in the middle of the stadium. Since Lyle had turned himself invisible, Jan had transmuted all the air in the area into knockout gas, and the air in the area immediately around him into inertron so that Lyle couldn't get to him. He knew that it was just a matter of time before victory was his. He was just about to start chanting, when suddenly...

"Jan? Jan ?"
He gave a start. That voice... It sounded familiar. "Dad?"
"Jan... Come join us... Your Mom and I are waiting for you..."
"Dad? But how..."
"Your meditations have allowed you to advance to a state of consciousness high enough to communicate with us. Now, come out of that inertron cage and come join us..."
"Okay... Father."

Jan transmuted the inertron away and looked around him. Could it really be? His parents, come back after all this time? "Dad? Where are you?" He could only see the misty gas around him. "I can't see you?"

"I'm right here." said the voice, as a black-clad hand rushed toward the back of Jan's neck. "Nighty-night, Jan... Sorry we couldn't have ended this peacefully...Ow!" Grife! How could Jan's neck be that hard... Uh-oh.

"Did you really think I was that spacey, Lyle? Even though you mimicked my father's voice so well, I knew that you were still out there, wearing your transuit so that the knockout gas wouldn't get to you. That's why I turned myself into pure iron first. Sorry, friend, but victory is not yours today." Jan said as he transmuted the air into an inertron cage to hold Lyle. "I win."

Lyle looked up, exhausted, at precisely the moment that Jan paused for breath.

"D-do we really need to go on like this?" Lyle mouthed as sweat dotted his brow.

Jan was silent a moment, then slowly shook his head. "N-no. No. We can end this."

Both Legionnaires stood up and approached the other -- cautiously, tentatively, their innate survival instincts still hinting that this offer of peace might be nothing more than an attempt to catch the other off-guard.

It wasn't -- not in this reality, at least.

Jan grasped Lyle's hand, and a thrill ran through his body at the warmth of it. For a long, silent moment, the Legionnaires stood motionless, neither willing to let go of the other first.

Jan looked up at his friend's face. He marveled at how different Lyle looked in this light... how noble, how handsome. Suddenly he knew this was the right decision. "I guess we BOTH win, Lyle."

Lyle smiled shyly but radiantly at Jan. He paused, then said: "You must have read my mind."

The two walked slowly away from the field of battle, hands still clasped together, aglow in the promise and potential of the choice they'd just made -- together.

Voting this round: Outdoor Miner, Vee, Cobalt Kid, Invisible Brainiac, superboymddjr, Quislet Esq, Nightcrawler, icefire, Portfolio Boy.

I had to toss Stu's vote since ties are not allowed.

FINAL:

Invisible Kid (Lyle): 5

Element Lad (preboot): 4


LYLE IS THE WINNER!!!! ALL HEROES (and villains too) RIP OFF THEIR CHEST EMBLAMS IN DEFERENCE TO HIM.


Fun game guys, sorry I got a tad too busy inthe personal world to keep up there at the end.

I'll give it a rest of 6 months or so, and then start a new round by taking nominations for the 200 character pool of contestants.

To familiarize any newbies with the game.

Sorry for just popping in, but I caught up with this poll, I was suprised that Element Lad didn't win. But at least the victory went to a worthy character.
