I am going to keep this open until tomorrow evening. I want to announce in chat that we are nearing completion because we sometimes get people who only vote in the later rounds.

But Morrison's Solaris is met by the 1972 Russian film where he pinched its name from! It's pseudo sci-fi utterings are no match for the real thing!

Construct 336 39%

I guess Grundy has to go buy new pants... Maybe Grodd went with him

Among the villains left, I see Giganta and Tattooed Man more as villains who would work well in a team, but not really as solo acts.

Mark Shaw is an interesting case. he doesn’t work well as a team player. and the appearances of his I read had him more as a problematic ally rather than an out and out villain

Sad to see Brainstorm go (and by only 1%! <cry>) but pleasantly surprised to see an obscure favorite like him last this long! Take that Joker!

Kanjar Ro will be pleased to see that that cheap imitator who stole his spot on the list, Kanjor Ro, has finally gone.

Lord of Time is another slightly obscure character whose status as a fave of mine is 95% based upon his choice of headgear. He should have appeared more.

What can I say about the Appelaxians? They are the antagonists in the greatest single issue story of all time - Justice League of America #200. For that reason alone they are the default winners of this game, regardless of the result.

The Cadre are probably the only decent villains introduced during the Detroit era. I have a special place in my heart for Black Mass for some reason.

Construct is another great villain. He/it seemed so menacing in the Red Tornado mini. I feel like writers must have forgotten about him over the years because it seems like there were about a dozen similar characters introduced after Crisis.

Hyathis - I agree with you Emily. She had a great look. I don't know why Kanjar Ro was the only one of those villains to become a major player. All of them looked interesting (and easily updateable) to me.

Brimstone - Very surprised to see him last this long. Did he appear anywhere other than Legends? I found that to be a really boring mini and him to be a really boring opponent in it.

Well done to Giganta for being the last remaining LoD member on the list.

I like pretty much everyone left now so the rounds are going to start getting much harder for me.

I remember Brimstone appearing in an issue of the Ray (Ray, not Happy), and Superboy (Kon) showing up to help. he was kind of funny there. after thrashing the two, Brimstone goes... “I need a beer”

Of those who have departed this round, I'll miss Gorilla Grodd and the Tornado Tyrant most.

I like how many of those remaining are good team options.

I'm surprised Anti-Matter Man and Hyathis made it so far
I'm not sure I've ever read an actual issue with Hyathis in it - I remember her (fondly) from the original Who's Who series

Gorilla Grodd has been surpassed (barely) by the DCAU version - which I completely understand.

Surprised that Brainstorm, Lord of Time, Kanjar Ro, Cadre and Appelaxians are out. They are (to me) quintessential Justice League villains.

Happy to see Luthor go. While he's constantly used as a leader/villain, he doesn't ring "JLA foe" to me

Brimstone was also used as a Firestorm villain during the "elemental" years.

On those who have been sent to the DCU revolving door jails...

Brainstorm - Great helmet, shame about the neck injury!
Kanjor Ro - ruined by a writer getting him to call Wondy something not code approved.
Solomon Grundy - sorry, no pants jokes. I've a christening to get arranged today.
Gorilla Grodd - he went all cannibal at some point, taking away his silver age fun a bit.
Lord of Time - If only he understood what he could do with his powers. Great villain though.
Appelaxians - A super cover for their first retcon appearance and that #200! Wow!
Cadre - Often mocked, before DC realised that they hadn't created anything better in years. I've a soft spot for a lot of these guys.
Construct - Appeared as a puppet in the early JL issues, but the bronze age showed him at his best.
Lex Luthor - The villainous counterpoint to so many hero teams.
Tornado Tyrant - Like so many of the others, he had a great cover appearance. There's a lot of Adam Strange sci-fi in this list. Gets all nostalgic...
Hyathis - Did really well to get this far. A striking visual and loads of potential.
Brimstone - Looked cool when Byrne drew him... Like so many big villains, he didn't move around a lot.
Anti-Matter Man - Surprised he's gone. I thought no one would touch him smile

Huh, only Giganta and Queen Bee left for super-villainesses! (Plus any female members of the Crime Syndicate and Royal Flush Gang...).

^ The Justice League have always been pretty terrible at attracting female villains. Heck, Queen Bee is probably their most prominent one and she's only appeared something like 3 times in 50 years!

I tried telling him it was a promotional typo for the Idol contest. But he took "One villain will become a big starro" as a sign...

Mark Shaw was more anti hero than villain, so he probably got quite far considering. Chronos and the Tattooed Man were villains of single heroes more than just league heroes. Amos Fortune could be a little abstract - Luck Glands? I liked the Demons Three more after I'd read some horror novels, but they initially didn't do much for me. Giganta is the surprise for me to be still on the list. I've not read any of those.

The Wild Card Round Starts Now.

Rules for this Round

1) Please Choose One Character (See Page 1 for help) that has already been eliminated from the game.
2) One Character not included in the game
3) Write it in a Post; Check all posts above you to make sure your suggestion was not previously taken
4) I will create a list of all the suggestions and we vote for one character to re-enter the game.

My vote goes to Star Sapphire III due to her brilliant performance during the Identity Crisis era.

Just checking Emily:

The rules sort of make it sound like we pick two characters (one who was eliminated [1] and one who was not included in the game [2]) but you've only picked one character. Am I misreading the rules?
