Oh My God, ladies and gentlemen! This is it! The thrillia from Manilla! The rumble in the jungle! The Brawl on the Beach! Operation Overlord! That Thing Where Dubya Flew Onto an Aircract Carrier and Declared Mission Accomplished! None of them have ANYTHING on this matchup!

In the wide collared, bell bottomed days of the '70s, two iconic comic book villains came to the fore. They will be the four coloured champions of this mayhepic confrontaion:

From DC, Battlin' Jack Kirby created as the Beelzebub of his Fourth World setting. Darkseid is the ruler of Apokolips, and is the DC definition of Badazz Mofo.

Meanwhile, in the Marvel universe, Jim Starlin introduced us to
Thanos, the Mad Titan from Titan.

Either of these cosmic powerhouses is a threat to the universes they inhabit. Darkseid, when he isn't warring on the edenic New Genesis is forever seeking the Anti-Life equation, which will allow him to control the will of everyone in the universe. Thanos is constantly seeking to please his one true love Death, usually by killing significant populations. Once, powered by the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos killed half the inhabitants of the universe; don't worry, they got better. Even without the assistance of super-powered deus ex machinae, either of them is a physical threat that can only be resisted by the mightiest of heroes.

Now, you must pick who will be superior in this showdown: The Master of Apokolips, or the Mad Titan? Which cosmic nightmare will reign supreme?

YOU! Make! The Call![Poll #887605]

p.s. This will be the final Hoo'd Win of '06. Coming in '07: A request (once again via [livejournal.com profile] viktor_haag), and a stolen one. Happy holidays!

p.p.s. Apokolips is a very tricky word.

Given that Thanos is, by Jim Starlin's own admission, a ripoff of Darkseid so he could write Darkseid stories at Marvel, I think the conclusion is obvious.

If Starlin admitted it upfront, then why argue. *evil grin*
