Rumblers League: Munch's Royal Rumble Challenge

[Captain Morgan]

Yeah, so normally I would put the standard text for how this works here, but I frankly have no idea what is going on. So yeah. I'll edit it if need be, whatever.

Oh, lookie. Skull gave me Munch's rules.

Having seen how moonknight did it, I figure I'll place the burden of desiding the challengees on any who wish to join. The MunchKING is challenging ALL COMERS to a Royal Rumble MADNESS!!!

The Premise: January 20ish is rolling around and McMahon needs some new crowd pleasers quick. He figures who better to draw in the kiddies and adults than the various super-people running around fighting in those Leagues and stuff? Noone!! So he books all the people who will show up for the Royal Rumble, and hopes he'll get a good show out it. To insure the action is intense enough for his viewers, he neglects to tell them anything regarding rules or conduct. "Just go out there and wrestle!!"

The Challenged: The first 30 participants who request in. You can submit one member of your team or all of them, it doesn't really matter. As long as you think they can wrestle, they can join. Once we get 30 people in, that's it.

The Arena: A 20' wrestling ring, in front of thousands and thousands of screaming fans, and millions and millions watching on PPV.

The Rules: Like the announcer says at the beggining of each one, the Rules of the Royal Rumble
are as follows:

1) 2 men will start the fight, the ones who drew numbers one and two. Every 90 seconds thereafter the wrestler who drew the next number will enter the arena.

2) A wrestler is eliminated when he goes over the top rope, and both feet hit the floor.

3) The match continues until all the contestents except one have been eliminated.

The Catch: As JR is so fond of reminding us, there are NO FRIENDS in the Royal Rumble. 30 men will enter, but only one will remain standing to go on to challenge for the title at Wrestlemania! Any alliances are temporary works of nessecity at best, quickly broken.

The Sub-catch: Everyone will get wrestling-style clothes prior to the match. Thus only items that can either be easily concealed or concidered part of your charecter's wrestling costume can go in with your member. However once you've entered the Ring, all bets are off. There are no disqualifications, quitting, or pincounts. So you can only lose by going over the top rope, and hitting the floor. Thus, though the refs may gripe, there's nothing they can do about it.

[Captain Morgan]

Master Shake opens the door before he shoots and energy bolt to the radio. As the music plays, the shake struts his stuff, turning on his straw before flying into the stage the moment the song ends. Since there's always a small gap between the entrance of the first contestant and the second, The Master will cover the floor with tentacles which are hardly visible. These tentacles will sap Doom, the next wrestler, of his magic, weakening him and stealing his identity once he's weak enough. Also, these tentacles will swallow any weaker characters and make them into his stolen identity corps. If he has time, he'll absorb a few of the viewers and turn them into constructs and sink 'em on the wrestlers.

Shake: That small fry doesn't go with this shake! -- as he stands over his Doom construct.


Buttercup flies off. According to the rules, someone can only be kicked out once they enter the ring. Buttercup is clearly avoiding the ring atleast until later (We'll say she flies off to the moon). If this is illegal, then she hides outside of the ring, while stopping time and seperating the talisman and exchanging the amulet.

Buttercup: It's not running away, it's called being smart and not dying. -- as she floats above the dismembered bodies of all the wrestlers.


The room goes dark, you hear screams in the crowd, you panic, but the next thing you know the lights begin to flash an eery orange and purple from the bottom of the stands. You look in back of you and the seats from where the screams originated from are covered in blood while the hay-stuffed corpse lays there, their bodies on a scarecrow's cross. Suddenly, you see a spot light turn on as Creeper creeps down to the ring. "In this ring, I call hallows eve, trick on your burning flesh or treat on your squishy eyes. I am the creature that creeps and crawls behind your back, uses your fear as my cologne so sweet! Less you brave, watch these challenger scream and cry to my terrifying face. Aren't you scared? Aren't you terrified? Watch as you're taken to the brim of insanity! Ha, ha, ha..."

The Creeper's job is to give pain to those telepathically vulnerable, Asorbing Man and Duck Dodgers, if he lives that long. Oh, if he's killed while he's transferring his pain, it's safe to say that teh person feeling it will feel his deathx10. If someone tries to ring him out, he'll teleport to above the ring.

Creeper: She don't smell too good, Darius -- as he sniffs Jenny.


90 seconds past , but no challengers enter the ring. From the top of the railings, Ultimo owning destructo beams rain down from the heavens. The attack should be a complete supirse, hitting everyone she aims for. The speakers begin to spit some good ol' rock and roll. As the she shoots up the place, Cassandra bumps her head and swings her hips to rhytmn of 'American Woman'. If she has to go on the defensive, the Tactigon was able to man-handle the mighty avengers while the user was incapacitated. If she makes it to Chucky, she will unleash a spray of gas that will make everyone guilty and will bring out the suppressed memories of Chucky's dad abusing him. While he's like that, Batgirl will throw him off the stage. The gas also works on The Mask, so ya.

Batgirl: You know, they always say to watch out for the quiet ones -- as the tactigon in a pickaxe shape is lodged inside Joan's brain cavity.


Bullet races down the hall as the squirrel theme begins to play. What he's going to do is simple. He and Ying Buttercup, Yang's still on the moon, will turn at maximum velocity around the arena, creating a tornado vortex that'd drain the oxygen and make all the contestants fall on the outside of the ring if they are stopped.

Bullet: Chik,akic! -- as he chews on Psimon's nuts.


Adam just tears off his legs and throws them into the ring. Yes, after that he jumps in the ring and gets slaughtered.

Adam: I hate my life -- as he's being torn apart by Darkwing Duck.


The lights dim before flashing. Everyone feels compelled to stand up. Peter Pan walks into the arena with a punked out version of his lost boys costume and two feet tall liberty spikes. Before he enters the stage, he turns to the crowd and stand there pensive. Suddenly he looks up and in chorus with every teenager in the audience, he screams, "WE ARE, WE ARE, THE YOUTH OF A NATION!", afterwards, he turns to the cameras and whispers, "My hair gives me superpowers, shh.". During the fight, he will teleport random people to ironic destinations.

Peter Pan: I know what you're asking yourself. Did I fire 5 shots or 6. Well, do ya feel, eh? Do ya feel lucky, punk? -- as he holds a 300 ton bazooka to Dx-guy's head.


Ben wastes no time as he turns into cannonball and tackles any one near Agent Smith. After that's done, he will transform Upchuck and swallow Smith, dissolving him and the motherbox. If Jenny is still alive, she'll be swallowed also. They will afterwards be spit out of the ring, ensuring a ringout. After this is done, he'll turn into Diamondhead and begin probing people to this song.

Ben(as Upchuck): BURP~! Oh, I don't think that went down too well... -- as he's picking Smith's remains out of his teeth

AFTERWARDS

Yang Buttercup, the one with the comb who's still on the moon, will watch the fight. when it comes down to whoever's against Dracula, Buttercup will stop time and go into the ring and beat up who's left. Even if this is illegal, there's chunks of Adam everywhere, so he'd win by default!

NOTES

• If something would get them disqualified, they'll do the next best thing.
• They will use their abilities, smarts, skills and item to the fullest.
• All scans will be supplied on demand.
• Talking is a free action
• They always try to sneak up, being ninja-like

Wrestler Profiles and Strategies

Doom of Watoomb (2)
Theme: Supervillain Theme (Dr. Doom Tribute)
Trademark Moves
'Band Camp' - Crimson Band Assisted Piledriver
'Monarch-plex' - Superplex off the top rope
'Latverian Lock' - Ankle Lock while delivering 500,000 megavolts
'RIIIIICHARDS Slam' - Running Powerslam
'Prep Time Bomb' - Zangief style spinning Piledriver assisted by jetpack
Finisher: 'Prep Time Bomb' - Zangief style spinning Piledriver assisted by jetpack
Quotes
'Doom hates Jobbers'
'Doom is here to Kick ass and chew gum. Doom hates gum'
'Doom's seen the future - and you lose every time'
'Doom is so smart, he has already won'
'Doom will not suffer fools gladly - but Doom will gladly make fools suffer!'
Royal Rumble Strategy
Doom will stride through the opposition, casually wrapping them up in Crimson bands and throwing/blasting them outside. If an opponent holds him, Doom will deliver 500,000 megavolts of electricity to them, he will also keep anyone physically at bay with a forcefield ray. If Doom gets thrown over, he will teleport back in before hitting the ground (his reaction speed easily allows this). Doom will ally with anyone on his team until they're the only ones left.

Absorbing Ghost (3)
Theme: The Crusher
Trademark Moves
'The Old Ball and Chain' - Swings it into the opponent's face
'The Crusher' - Pure adamantium bear hug
'Eye Gouge' - Exactly what it sounds like
Finisher: 'Absorb-it-All' - Absorbs everything an opponent has and dishes it all back at them
Quotes
'I've only got one ball, but it's gonna f**k you up!'
'I WANT MORE POWWWWERRRRRRRR'
'Watch out for the eye gouge!'
'They call me the immovable object, you know'
Royal Rumble Strategy
Creel will become totally adamantium and merge with the ring (he'll easily have time for this, as Doom and Shake are the only people in before him and Doom will ensure Shake is out/occupied). For the duration of the rumble, creel will be an immovable adamantium statue, fused with the ring, standing in the centre of the ring. He will freely be able to move his arms though, and will punch any attackers with his adamantium fists, sending them flying out of the ring. Creel will ally with anyone on his team until they're the only ones left.


The Masked Chuckestro w/ Bride of Chuckestro (14)
Theme: The Chucky Song
Trademark Moves
'6 Man Team-Up' - Chucky splits into 6 clones and delivers a group beatdown
'Big Knuckle Shuffle' - A huge toonforce lantern construct of a fist punches the opponent out of the ring
'Bostonestro Crab' - A crab shaped construct applies the classic Boston Crab whilst Chucky repeatedly slaps the victim's face
'619' - Chucky splits into 619 mini-clones and rips opponents apart
Finisher: 'Chew them up, spit 'em out' - Self-explanatory
Quotes
'Hi, I'm The Masked Chuckestro, wanna play?!'
'Whatcha gonna do when Chuckamania runs wild on you??'
'I ain't no dummy'
'Smokin'! Somebody stop me!'
Royal Rumble Strategy
Chucky takes the "Doink the Clown" role here. Assisted by his Bride construct, he will wrestle to the best of his abilities, moving at the speeds we know a Mask/Sinestro Corps member can move at. He will be an awkward toon-esq character, dodging attacks with ease, appearing allover the ring, laughing at attempts to remove him. If he gets hit, he will soak the damage easily, with his toon durability, instant healing and lantern autoshields. If he gets thrown over, he will fly/port back into the ring before he touches the ground.
But there's a catch... If Chucky does get eliminated, a surprise is in store. It was a clone (which the Mask can do). And towards the end of the rumble, when he can easily defeat the last survivors, the real Chucky will appear from under the ring and join the action, cleaning up the tired, remaining opponents with ease (if anyone has the same idea, Chucky will kill them under the ring)! Doink eat your heart out. Chucky will ally with anyone on his team until they're the only ones left.
N.B. Chucky has WCW experience!
Also N.B. This is a VERY "WWEesq" thing to do and with PIS on it's a viable tactic! Chucky should win by virtue of this sneakiness/creativity!

Psimon w/ Motherpod (15)
Theme: Check My Brain
Trademark Moves
'Smart Move' - Thumb to the eye
'Brain Drainer' - Low blow
'Self Helper' - Mind control punching themselves in the face
'Street Smarts' - TK lift and throw
Finisher: 'Mastermind' - TK lift as high as possible, then dropping them on their head
Quotes
'I'm the smartest man in this ring! and you're going to be the, uh, deadest!'
'FEAR MY JUICY BRAIN!'
'Sometimes, Smart simply means knowing when to punch someone in the nuts'
'I don't need telepathy to know that you know that I know I'm going to win!'
'Not the brain! not the brain!'
Royal Rumble Strategy
On his way to the ring, Psimon will TK people over the ropes and mentally command them to throw themselves out. Psimon will be mentally commanding everyone he can to protect him from attackers, while using his TK to dump people outside the ring. If no one is attacking him, he will mentally command people to leave the ring via the top rope. If Psimon gets thrown over, he will stop himself from hitting the ground with TK and float back into the ring. Psimon will ally with anyone on his team until they're the only ones left.
Motherpod will be at ringside, opening boomtubes (which lead to the floor outside the ring) in front of anyone who attacks Psimon/our team members, into which Psimon will TK throw them.


Rayne (26)[/B]
Theme: Sunshine After the Rain
Trademark Moves
'Die Happy' - Wraps her legs around opponent's face and snaps their neck
'When it Raynes, it Pours' - Slices numerous major arteries in one speedy move, causing blood to squirt uncontrollably
'Rayney Daze' - Rayne speeds around her opponent in a timeslow, pummelling their head
Finisher: 'Dissection' - Rayne speeds around her opponent chopping them into pieces
Quotes
'It's gonna Rayne down on you today!'
'I'm the Rayne cloud that spoils your sunny day!'
Royal Rumble Strategy
Rayne will come to the ring in her time slow, therefore moving at Sandals of Hermes speed multiplied by 100 for the duration of the rumble. She will use her immense fighting skills to kick, punch and throw (using both arms and legs) opponents over the top ropes. If Rayne finds any opponents to be troublesome, she will fly high above the ring and send her ghostly image to possess opponents, making them throw themselves out of the ring. She will use her aura vision to see invisible opponents throughout the rumble. If Rayne gets thrown over, she will fly back in before she hits the ground. Rayne will ally with anyone on her team until they're the only ones left.

[Captain Morgan]

Dalek Caan (27)
Theme: Exterminate
Trademark Moves
'Caan I Kick It?' - When suitably riled (and the time is right) Caan will step out of his armoured shell and deliver a cheeky tentacle 'kick' to the opponent's head (this move very rarely occurs)
'The Shunt' - Propelling himself to top speed, Caan flies at his opponents and nudges them out of the ring
Finisher: 'Total Extermination' - Building up all the power he has, Caan fires a blast that disintegrates even the most durable opponents
Quotes
'EXTERMINATE!'
'We would win the rumble with one Dalek!'
'You are superior at one thing... you are superior at submitting!'
Royal Rumble Strategy
As Caan is making his way to the ring, he will over-ride the mechanics of any robot-like characters in the ring, hacking into them and causing them to eliminate themselves (Jenny, Hank, Smith etc). Once in the ring, Caan will nudge any troublesome opponents over the ropes and absorb any attacks with his forcefield (physically moving a Dalek is near-impossible). If Caan gets thrown over, he will fly back in before he hits the ground. Caan will ally with anyone on his team until they're the only ones left.

Dracula w/ Sally (30)
Theme: Dead Man Walking
Trademark Moves
'The Light Snack' - Full Nelson Hold with Neck Bite
'The Count' - 10 punches in the corner
'Vamp Stamp' - Double Footed stomp from the top rope
'Stake breaker' - Double Arm DDT
Finisher: 'The Monster Mash' - Open Mouthed Swandive Headbutt to Opponents Neck
Quotes
'I may be dead, but I ain't beaten!'
'You're going down - One ah ah, two ah ah, three!'
'You're a dead man - and not in the cool kind!'
'I'm Bat shit crazy!'
'Fangs for the memories!'
Royal Rumble Strategy
Dracula (the final entrant) will press his Inviso-Belt as he walks down the entrance ramp, mentally command any animals to eject themeselves from the ring, and Turn to mist form as he enters the ring - becoming invisible mist. Dracula will remain in this form until there is only one opponent left, at which point Dracula will take a physical form and attempt to ring out the last opponent. If he gets thrown over, he will turn into a bat and fly back in before he touches the ground. Dracula will ally with anyone on his team until they're the only ones left.
Sally, invisible at ringside, will secretly cast disabling spells such as confusion, sleep, or hold person at opponents, while quietly tripping opponents to Dracula with her tail. Dracula will ally with anyone on his team until they're the only ones left.

[Captain Morgan]

Let’s get ready to RUM-BLE!!


5… 4… 3… 2… 1…*Buzzer noise*
Theme Music Plays
Coming in at Number 6, The Terrible Tuckinator.Champion of Robot Riot 3! She’s gonna be a serious contender folks!

*Jenny blades in and hops in the ring, pausing just outside to raise a hand and wave to the fans*

Strategy: With her new Adamantium plating she should be hard to hurt, and heavy to hurl. As long as she keeps her feet on the ground she should last a long time. If someone else busts out an illegal weapon (No DQ right?) Look for the laser cannons and Missile barrages to be unloaded. Though she may apologize per elimination, if she knows they are a wuss, she’s still willing to go in with everything this Earth’s Savior has got. Defense and unthrowability are her biggest assets. She should use those over speed. (Most of which requires flying anyway.)

5… 4… 3… 2… 1…*Buzzer noise*
Theme Music Plays
Coming in at Number 7, The Fighter from the Future, Duck Dodgers, of the 24th and one half Century.

*Duck Dodgers walks in with his Green suit and red cape, waving the Flag of the Earth.He stops a LOT on the way down to wave the flag and wave at the fans, almost as if he didn’t WANT to get in the Ring with Jenny and the others. Then He hands off the Flag to a referee, throws off his cape in a dramatic move and jumps in the ring. Snorting like a bull and with lots of posturing he starts hurling threats and declarations of his manliness at the other fighters. *

Strategy: Small, light, and not all that strong compared to the people in the ring already. If he was a more serious sort of duck, I’d suggest he use his speed and agility Lucha style. Unfortunately I imagine it’ll go something more like this.
Duck Dodgers: Come on! I’ll take you all on! All of yah!! You’re facing DUCK DODGERS Now!!
*someone grabs him firmly around the neck*
DD: [size=1]Except you! All of yah… Except You![size]
*he gets thrown out of the ring with enough force to embed his beak up to his face in the wall. Fortunately this happens some 10 feet over the ground, so we’re treated to a bizarre and ever-less-probable series of sci-fi doohickeys to keep his feet from touching the floor as this happens over and over.*

5… 4… 3… 2… 1…*Buzzer noise*
Theme Music Plays
Coming in at Number 12,It’s the Mask! I guess every match with him is a Mask Match, eh?

*The Mask struts his way down in his Trademark yellow zoot suit. *

Strategy: If he can get it down to just girls, expect A Rikishi-esque dance-off, to his mind control conga. Complete with jacking them over at the end. Otherwise he’s as serious as he ever is, Dancing around people’s attacks and generally overacting. After a while, one of the men will push him too far. The Mask swirls around and now he’s wearing a cheesy detective suit.

The Mask: I’m through with taken’ falls, And bouncing off the walls. Without that gun, I’d have some fun and kick you in the…
*A shot hits him in the back of the head*
Decoy (from the audience) NOSE!!
JR: “Nose”?? That doesn’t rhyme with “Walls”.
Mask: (in a corny Jim Carrey voice) NO! But this does!! HAHA!! *Deliveres a harshkick*

JR: Ooooooh, the Low blow. What a DIRTY tactic.

King: yeah well that’s the first time I seen a low blow launch someone clear out of the Arena. We have word that yes, he landed with both feet on the ground! The Mask has eliminated another Superstar!!

Here look for all the silly NON-scifi gadgets to keep his feet from toughing the floor. Starting with stilts and springs and getting sillier from there.


5… 4… 3… 2… 1…*Buzzer noise*
Theme Music Plays
Coming in at Number 16…
*The Lights go out in an Undertaker-esque intro. When it gets to “Darkwing owns the Night” Fireworks go off all up and down the ramp. When the lights come back on it’s revealed Darkwing can be a clever bastard when he wants to be. He pulls a Stone Cold on them (9:20) and actually comes at them from the back! He jumps in while they are looking at the front of the arena for him and launches a patented Double flip Web Kick(10:00), hopefully knocking someone out of the Ring. *

Strategy: While he battles it out with Stealth, cunning, toon-level blunt trauma soak, and a flexability he learned from ancient Yogis, Gozaline sees the need for some good ol Ringside interference. She runs in and starts beating people with a shovel until the refs forcibly remove her.

Unfortunately he’s not the type to take losing well. If he does get thrown out look for cries of “No one Beats DARKWING DUCK!” and him jumping back in and trying to eliminate anyone he can before the refs Drag HIM bodily out. Some things are deeper than genetics…


5… 4… 3… 2… 1…*Buzzer noise*
Theme Music Plays
Coming in at Number 21,It’s a DX themed Robot??

*the DX guy runs up to the Ring, stops before he gets in and grabs a chair from under the ring and starts chairshotting people.*

Strategy: Hopefully, He can chair-shot them over the ropes. But if not at least he can spread the pain around. And as an amalgam of a couple of very skilled and experienced wrestlers, he’s probably got the most Rumble experience of all the participants. Expect gratuitous crotch chops if there’s no one else standing up though. The little Robot’s a showoff. Sweet Chin Music is also a proven eliminator, and if DX guy can pull it off, he may be going to Wrestlemania. He’s a dirty player though; if his chair breaks (or is stolen/smacked out of his hands) he’ll probably go for a new weapon of opportunity.

5… 4… 3… 2… 1…*Buzzer noise*
Theme Music Plays
Coming in at Number 22, another caped hero, this one going by the name Batduck!

*Batduck Jumps into the Ring In an overly dramatic jump from Entrance way, cape billowing.*

Strategy: After his first hit (probably a chair-shot from DX) he falls to the mat and rolls out under the bottom rope, there to hide in the all concealing shadows until the end. Once everyone’s forgotten about him and it’s down to the last one eliminating the last OTHER competitor, he’s going to try and swoop in for a last second dropkick, knocking the last guy out of the ring too!

Sure he’s a coward, maybe even a craven coward, but it puts him at a decent chance to win. Not to mention it would have worked for Mc Mahon (If he wasn’t such a pussy).

[Captain Morgan]

J.R.: Hello everyone and welcome, to what many are dubbing the greatest collaboration of talent across the multi-verse ever assembled. I'm your host J.R., and with me as always is Jerry the King Lawler.
King: Right you are J.R.. I must say, I've never seen so much anticipation for a match than what we have planned tonight.
J.R.: Well, there's no point in stretching out the anticipation King so let's get the match started.
King: Well, it's starting already J.R., and here's our first competitor tonight, Shake and...how the hell is he even making his way to the ring J.R.?
1 Shake
J.R.: What do you mean?
King: I mean, he's got no legs and...did he just do a backflip into the ring? Where did he get propultion to do that?
J.R.: You know King, a little more sensitivity will not be lost on you.
King: Oh be quiet J.R. in case you haven't noticed, our second rumbler is making his way to the ring right now.
2 Dr. Doom
J.R.: Yes he is King, straight from the shores of Latveria is Dr. Doom.
King: Isn't Latveria landlocked?
J.R.: Who knows, who cares and...wait a minute, what's this?
Doom: Greetings peasants of the Democratic Dictatoriship, I come to advise you of the futility of your pampered and lazy existence. Boo me all you desire, but you will all pledge your feality and obedience to me before this night is done...
J.R.: Where the hell did he get a microphone? I thought we searched him before letting him on the ramp.
King: I don't know J.R., but knowing Doom loves the sound of his voice so much, I'm not sure he realizes this is only meant to be a 60 minute match.
Doom: Yes, you are all feeble minded sheep, mulling about the insignificant perameters of your insigificant lives, never fulfilling your potential as humans, but existing merely to exist. I however, have achieved godhood and fulfilled a thousand dreams of success you can not begin to appreciate. Like this creature here, *Doom enters the ring and walks to Master Shake* This sludge of evolutionary failure is the very essence of excessive human gluttony. *Clubs Master Shake in the face with the microphone and while he's shaken, tosses him over the top rope.* Doom is victorious.
J.R.: That low-down, dirty son of a bitch, he did that entire speech just to take his opponent off guard?
King: J.R., there's nothing dirty about tactics.
J.R.: There's no honor is cheating King.
King: And there's no victory in honor...wait a minute, what's going on now? Looks like Doom is have some problems in the ring.
Doom: *waves his hands madly in the ring*
J.R.: Is it? It is! Our third competor of the night has just appeared out of no where.
3 Absorbing Man
King: Looks like he absorbed the sound waves of Doom's speech and made himself invisible while he assaulted Doom. Are you going say that's a dirty tactic?
J.R.: Hell no, as long as he shuts Doom up once and for all.
King: Hypocrite
J.R.: What?
King: Nothing. Oh look, it seems Doom took too long with his entry speech and Buttercup has entered the match as well.
4 Buttercup

*Anyway, I'm getting bored so quick run down*:
Doom and Absorbing Man team up against Buttercup as she's the most dangerous competitor out there, and Doom and Absorbing man being in the same stable, they'll fight later.

Buttercup will likely be able to overpower one of them, but not two. She's not out yet as the Creeper enters.
5 Creeper

He's not going to add much except speed and distraction. His best bet is to wander around avoiding fights and only helping push people over the top rope, but stay as inconspicious as possible.

6 Jenny Wakeman

As a robot, Jenny will have a lot of powers going for her and will be able to give significan support to Buttercup, diverting either Doom or Absorbing Man. Whichever one is diverted, Buttercup throws the other out of the ring and then helps Jenny throw out her competitor.

Out: Doom, Absorbing Man

Buttercup then turns on Jenny and attacks because, well, Buttercup is the bitch of the group and that's how she rolls.

7 Duck Dodgers

Duck Dodgers enters, but realizes his stable mate is in trouble and attempts to help, but also realizes that the Creeper is still lurking and attacks him. In classic cartoon fashion, Duck Dodges leaps at the Creeper, who pulls down the top rope, and Duck Dodgers disqualifies himself.

Out: Duck Dodgers[/QUOTE]

8 Hank Henshaw

If Jenny has not been taken out yet, there's here's a real problem, because Hank can take control of her body, and given that she has an adamantium shell, she'll be WAY more dangerous. Buttercup can match Jenny, but can't really hurt her either so they stalemate. Creeper is still lurking.

9 John Taylor

John Taylor will activate the Isis Amulet on the way to the ring as part of the intro. (Belt of Gender swapping makes him JANE Taylor) It's unlikely he'll know that Henshaw is in the Jenny robot as he was backstage and did not see that when it happened, unless Henshaw tells him in the match. But seeing as how this is every man for himself, I don't see Jane Taylor helping Cyborg Supes/Jenny any, and as Buttercup has been taking shots from some very strong competitors, he'll probably like his chances against the kid better. I think he'll attack Cyborg Supes.

10 Batgirl

Finally, someone in or about Creeper's level, but she's smart and not about to discount the anctics and playful attack patterns of the Creeper. I'm assuming this is Cassandra and not Stephanie as Batgirl. If it's Cassandra, she easily throws Creeper over the top rope. If it's Stephanie, she's easily thrown over the top rope, so depending on who is in the Batsuit depends on who gets eliminated.

11 Arion

Now things are getting difficult. This is the third person from Wyld's stable that is in the ring at the same time. Either a) they form an alliance and try to eliminate each other towards the end or b) they fight it out now and may the best man, woman (in John's case) win. Either way, I see Buttercup going over the top rope. It won't be easy and probably take some considerable force to knock her down enough so she doesn't fly, but yeah, I think she's out, and Batgirl will follow shortly after.

Out: Batgirl, Creeper, Buttercup

12 The Mask

Now things get really interesting. The Mask is chaos incarnate, and whether or not WyldCard's team decides to team up or fight each other, in this kind of environment, the Mask has the advantage. Multiple enemies and an enclosed area with the ability to screw with their heads in the worst ways. Henshaw is not the smartest person in the world, I'm not sure about the others, but either way, I'm not seeing these guys physically beating the Mask as they can't outsmart him, he's very sporatic and hard to plan against.

13 Manchester Black

And now we have the fourth member of Wyld's stable in the ring at the same time. The Mask will be bouncing around every which way, but Manchester is perhaps one of the few who could probably screw with the Mask as easily as he messes with everyone else. If WyldCard's team work together, they'll eliminate the Mask as there's no one else to distract them from him. But, if their egos get in the way and if WWE scripting has anything to do with it, they'll be fighting it out.

14 Chucky

If Mask last against the combined forces of WyldCard's team, Chucky will really mess things up as the second mask wearer. If Mask was eliminated, having a second Mask wearer, this one with a Yellow Power ring, might just prove too much and I'm thinking at least a couple of WyldCard's team bite the dust here, namely Henshaw/Jenny, and Arion. If the Mask is still around, Chucky vs The Mask would be one of the greatest specticles in the match.

15 Psimon

Now we have KJS' second stable mate in the match at the same time. I'm seeing Manchester Black attacking Psimon simply because it'll be great for not only bragging rights but ratings. Also, Jane Taylor will be helping out whoever needs it, i.e. targeting the most dangerous regardless of loyalty. We're at the half way mark, it'll be getting to the point of every man for himself.

16 Darkwing Duck

Enter Darkwing Duck, who'll appear amid a puff of smoke standing on the turnbuckle. Either a) said turnbuckle gets jarred and he instantly falls out of the match to elimination or b) he says "Let's get dangerous" before the said process a, and nothing happens to him. I choose a) because Darkwing always starts with a monologue, i.e. "I am the terror, that flaps in the night. I am the wedgie in the seat of your tights. I, am DARKWING...*bam*" He's out.

Out: Darkwing Duck

[Captain Morgan]

17 Bullet

Bullet's the flying squirrel right? Not seeing him doing much against this crew except agrivate and frustrate them. Joan Taylor will now have a true opponent to face. And given the Amulet of Isis plus the Hermes Sandals, she'll be faster then Bullet and have more power available.

Out: Bullet

18 Adam

The ring is too small to summon the Zord so Adam will have to deal with his wits and fight smart if he's to survive. He's vastly overpowered compared to the others, and being a zombie may help his regeneration, but not necessarily his speed.

19 Vegeta

Vegeta grabs Adam's head and blows his head off, taking half the stadium with him.

JR: My God, My God, Vegeta just blew his damn head off, and took half the damn stadium with him.
King: Yeah, but I don't think he understands the rules JR. Adam's body is still in the ring. Until Vegeta or another wrestler throw him over the top rope, he's still in the match.
JR: Dammit King, can you think about something else for a change, Vegeta just killed half our audience in attendence.
King: This is the WWE J.R. our fans know what's at risk when they buy their tickets.I just hoped they all paid with cash. Getting a credit card company to honor post-humous payment is like trying to raise the dead.
JR: Can you be anymore thoughtless or callow King?

Vegeta will move to attack whoever he can. Most of these guys have been battling for a long time and are probably worn out. The Yellow Lantern Ring is likely running out of power. Vegeta will take full advantage, blowing guys away as he gets there. Likely Psimon and Manchester Black are both dead, and even Joan Taylor. Vegeta has just cut the number of active battlers in half.

Out: Adam, Manchester Black, Psimon, Joan Taylor.


20 Peter Pan
21 DX-Guy
22 Batduck
23 Agent Smith
24 Super Selene
25 Ben 10
26 Rayne
27 Dalek Caan
28 Sailor Jupiter
29 Wonder Woman
30 Dracula

Okay, getting bored again, rush through. Peter Pan will make the third and final Mask wearer to enter the ring and they will all be in there together. The original Mask will have the advantage of creativity and longevity of use, Chucky has the second and Peter has the least experience. Vegeta fights Peter and even if he can't over come the Mask, he'll only need to ring him out. That'll still be tricky. However, Peter Pan can fly, Chucky can fly via the Ring. The Mask, can't fly, and Vegeta grabbing him and throwing him to the floor is quite easily. Even if the Mask is a reality warper, he's still a slave to gravity. The fall won't hurt him, but it will eliminate him.

G-X Guy and Batduck are non-factors as they can't push anyone over the top rope.

Out: The Mask, G-X Guy and Batduck

Agent Smith enters. It'll be difficult for him to assimilate anyone as Vegeta is too dense and the Mask's can heal from it. So he'll be doing his own fight. Chucky goes to Peter Pan, Vegeta will be stomping on Agent Smith before he uses the Motherbox. Vegeta is faster than thought after all, and far stronger than Smith. Smith will be ripped to shreds.

Enter Selene who activates her Amulet of Isis on her way to the ring as part of her intro. Unlike Vegeta, Selene understands teamwork and will fly to intercept Peter Pan while Vegeta takes Chucky. Chucky has had two fights with Mask wearers and be mentally fatigued with keeping up with them, so he can't react while Vegeta throws him as hard as he can at the ground, counting him out. Vegeta then fires a shot at Selene, which sends her into Peter Pan and they both go out of the ring. (Shame really as Selene vs Rayne would have been another highlight)

Out: Selene, Peter Pan, Chucky, Agent Smith

Vegeta's left alone until his next opponent, Ben 10 who will fight valently, but he can't overpower Vegeta. However, Ben should be able to keep Vegeta guessing with constant changes to mix up the battle. Rayne finally comes out, and she'll help Ben as Vegeta's a dick. I think the likely solution will be Rayne trying to possess Vegeta as he's the strongest right now, but Vegeta has broken out of the possession of Majin Buu using only his pride, of which he has an abundance.

Okay now, seriously getting bored w/ the play by play, it's taking too long. Wonder Woman wins it. She's the second to last person, Sailor Jupiter is the third (two of my big hitters) and I'm not seeing anyone over powering Wonder Woman w/ the Gauntlets of Atlas. The likely conclusion is she will activate the Invisibility Belt and then string the lasso at super speed around, across and over the ring, held by the four corner posts to create an intricate web of magic that will screw with anyone caught in it to tell the truth or submit their free will to her. She's more powerful than anyone left anyway. If worse comes to worse, she uses the body of Adam as a club to knock Dracula out of the ring if the lasso web doesn't work.

Wonder Woman wins. *whew* that was a lot.

[Captain Morgan]

OK, there are a lot of people who could be holding the arena by now. The big contenders are Shake, Doom, Buttercup (possibly with Shake) and Jenny Wakeman.

Henshaw will flip over into invisible and intangible mode as he enters the arena and do his part drop into vital places using his x-ray vision and items. This should bypass pretty much any defense set up by those currently in the arena besides possibly Doom and Shake, if either are around. Henshaw will attempt to take over Jenny if she is still active.

Once Taylor enters the arena the two will set up a temporary alliance as mentioned in the Challenge post as being acceptable. They would kill each other on general principles/for shit and giggles normally, but both have worked together before in the League, and neither wants to die just yet.

Batgirl is disarmed and vaporized when she enters the arena, not sure if she has the Tactigon, but if she does or not she is still vulnerable to this.

Arion next joins the team of moderately allied people. Holding ground with force fields and various protections against magic and teleportation.

Next the Mask is going to enter, and I have the rather incredible advantage of 3 of my characters who are smart and scared enough of the Mask to work together for a while, with Arion hitting the Mask with a mind control spell backed up by the Wand of Watoomb.

After that Black joins the party, takes one look at the coming roster, whimpers, and joins the defense.

Current standing of the moderately allied:
Arion
Hank Henshaw
Joan Taylor
Manchester Black
Possibly Jenny Wakeman

Next, Chucky is attacking. This is incredibly, horribly, bad for everyone, which is why I think my team is going to be scared enough to band together for 9 minutes so far. My whole team knows there chances against Chucky and Psimon are low. Taylor with raised Gift and Amulet will remove The Mask (something no one who read the books doubts he can do) while The Mask and Henshaw attack Chucky to stalemate him, Manchester Black attacks his mind, and Arion keeps a force field and anti-magical anti-teleport effects up. Normally I think that Chucky would win against anyone on my team, but we are allowed fleeting alliances and my team isn't stupid.

Chucky will be beaten. At this point either Arion will take over Black's mind and Taylor's while his defenses are down. Quickly following with everyone else around, with Black's help.

Psimon is going down to the mental resistance and power of the mind controlled team. Following this it is pretty basic, Arion keeps up mind control, shields, and defenses while every 90 seconds someone else attacks and has to face off against a band of entrenched minions.

Quite simply, after Arion takes over the team, nothing is going to be able to wield enough personal power to be any kind of threat. With only a few minutes of work and a speedy betrayal and mind control I think that Arion can hold the arena against all comers, based on how the match is made.


Note 1:
John's done things like find and break the connections before. Silvia Sin, The Lamentation, the Chaos Butterfly, Kid Cthulu, The Speaking Gun, and probably some I am forgetting are at that level. Also the Mind Guns (I think they had a better name) so it is almost certain that this will work. John's ability to do this has been supported in many matches by other readers, even matches I lost.

Note 2:
In general no one will do more than defend themselves and try to get passed enemies they aren't tasked with handling.

Note 3:
Everyone will use their full powers and abilities in battle be they natural or item based, everyone will react as best they can to any attempt at a surprise move, with Manchester Black, Arion, John Taylor, Hank Henshaw, and finally Agent Smith joining in if anyone has considerable trouble with an enemy unless another order is given in the strategy. Of course everyone under mind control will enter this in the order they are taken over.

Note 4:
John, Arion, and Manchester Black have all shown the ability to handle several actions at once. None of them will have trouble with there assignments.

Note 5:
John resisted Walker, Manchester Black is a top telepath, Arion has telepathic abilities of his own (I still believe that he hasn't lost them) and Black is defending his team anyway. However beating a guy who can control Superman or the Martian Manhunter without being massively amplified? Especially as he only needs Black before he can contract the mind control out? The team is controlled.

Note 7:
Everyone will engage in realistic movement. No one is just going to run across the ground because I said charge when I obviously meant that they fly or any other cute stuff. All my characters should be able to move through the breathable water without trouble or not really have to.

Note 8:
Everyone will keep moving and try to keep the enemy team from clumping together to defend itself or gather for an attack.

Note 9:
Arion will dump anyone who can't be killed or controlled.

Note 10:
Once everyone they are tasked with taking down is done, everyone will join in to take out enemy characters.

Arion will use TK and dumping.
Manchester Black will kill with telekinesis.
John Taylor will rip out organs.
Hank Henshaw will kill by releasing shards of himself into people.
Agent Smith will kill with Doomsday cutting lasers and open Boom Tubes for dumpage.
And normal attacks for the controlled.

Note 12:
Just in case it wasn't obvious from my earlier section, Hank Henshaw will only be intangible when not striking his enemies.

Also Hank Henshaw will attempt to lodge tendrils inside of his enemies while invisible and intangible and detach them, turning them tangible.

Note 13:
If Henshaw is about to be killed or dumped he transfers himself to the Motherbox and creates a new body for himself as best he can and keeps up the fight. Using the massive powers of the Motherbox for the battle.

Note 14:
There are no friends in the arena. There are brief alliances and pants wetting fear of more powerful and versatile characters killing you. For a team that has worked together before and enters the arena around the same time, this should be perfectly reasonable.

Note 15:
In the case of the following loses:
John
He is useful, but the Mask can probably be separated in other ways.
Black
Arion will take over one at a time as he covers himself with other spells he is casting.
Arion
In the sad case that Arion is down, Black can pretty much mind control everyone around and set up the match well, if he has to as a plan B.
Henshaw
John can probably take over if Henshaw is directly defeated. I find this rather unlikely.

[WyldCard4]

OK...

I think with so many of my people getting in together and allying around the same time I have one of, if not the, best chance. Arion's mind control used on The Mask should be deadly, as would Joan's abilities against The Mask, the hidden Chucky would probably be detected before the battle is over, making a last minute returning victory unlikely. Even if he attacks, he's still facing a mind controlled army.

Also not seeing Doom beat Shake. The two are both good, but Shake should be better at resisting and blasting him.

If I may make a suggestion, could you paste the challenger order in the OP along with the challenge rules?

Having seen how moonknight did it, I figure I'll place the burden of desiding the challengees on any who wish to join. The MunchKING is challenging ALL COMERS to a Royal Rumble MADNESS!!!

The Premise: January 20ish is rolling around and McMahon needs some new crowd pleasers quick. He figures who better to draw in the kiddies and adults than the various super-people running around fighting in those Leagues and stuff? Noone!! So he books all the people who will show up for the Royal Rumble, and hopes he'll get a good show out it. To insure the action is intense enough for his viewers, he neglects to tell them anything regarding rules or conduct. "Just go out there and wrestle!!"

The Challenged: The first 30 participants who request in. You can submit one member of your team or all of them, it doesn't really matter. As long as you think they can wrestle, they can join. Once we get 30 people in, that's it.

The Arena: A 20' wrestling ring, in front of thousands and thousands of screaming fans, and millions and millions watching on PPV.

The Rules: Like the announcer says at the beggining of each one, the Rules of the Royal Rumble
are as follows:

1) 2 men will start the fight, the ones who drew numbers one and two. Every 90 seconds thereafter the wrestler who drew the next number will enter the arena.

2) A wrestler is eliminated when he goes over the top rope, and both feet hit the floor.

3) The match continues until all the contestents except one have been eliminated.

The Catch: As JR is so fond of reminding us, there are NO FRIENDS in the Royal Rumble. 30 men will enter, but only one will remain standing to go on to challenge for the title at Wrestlemania! Any alliances are temporary works of nessecity at best, quickly broken.

The Sub-catch: Everyone will get wrestling-style clothes prior to the match. Thus only items that can either be easily concealed or concidered part of your charecter's wrestling costume can go in with your member. However once you've entered the Ring, all bets are off. There are no disqualifications, quitting, or pincounts. So you can only lose by going over the top rope, and hitting the floor. Thus, though the refs may gripe, there's nothing they can do about it.

I don't see the MotherPod coming to ringside. It would one hard sell trying to convince anyone that thing is part of a wrestling gimmick, especially as big as it is.

Also, a little disappointed that Wyld didn't mark Wonder Woman as a threat, as she is number 29.

Agreed.

Anyway, I think that Chucky can't beat a fairly whole team+mind controlled agents. And your team trickles in minutes apart. Only real contenders are people who might prepare ahead of me, mostly skullboy001 and KJS, and those two will probably seriously damage each other before Henshaw shows up.

Also, even if Jenny Wakemen is killed, if enough if left Henshaw should get a far stronger body out of it. He can repair and control easily.

Well once my team was entrenched and mind controlled, I got lazy on new comers. Problem is both Jupiter and Wonder Woman come in after my team should be too well set up to be taken down, this was not an insult towards your team's power or awesome.
