Magnus is NOT a superhero, by three votes.



By a vote of 30 to 27, the readers of this blog have decided that Magnus, Robot Fighter is NOT a superhero. I have to say I'm impressed that the vote was such a close one. I am also shocked, not so much that 3 more people felt that Magnus was NOT a superhero, but by the fact that there were 57 people out there who bothered to read this blog!

This was a hotly contested issue. And, although I was on the losing side of this vote, I graciously bow to the will of the people.

Mykal Banta, congrats.

Silver Age Fight Club!

Okay, we've all heard (or, sadly been a part of) those juvenile arguments about who can beat up who. "Who's stronger? Superman or the Hulk?"- "I bet Robin would mop the floor with Bucky!" "Who'd win in a fight, Aquaman or the Sub-Mariner?" (That one's easy. Aquaman would win. The Sub-Mariner is a sea-creature and subject to the whims of Aquaman's telepathic commands!)

Well, I don't want to stoop to that level of playground commentary, But I do have a dream match-up for you: Magnus, Robot Fighter vs. Brainiac!


The breakdown:

Brainiac is a relentless, coldly logical super-computer in an android body who wears hot-pants and go-go boots.

Magnus is a futuristic ubermensch who battles robot menaces on a daily basis- who wears a minidress and go-go boots.

Clearly this battle was meant to be.

Now, gentle readers, I'm asking you to write back with your opinions of the outcome of this fight. Feel free to draft a whole scenario, if you like. Just let us all know who you think would win and why?

The reader with the best scenario will get a special prize from yours truly. Deadline is next Thursday, December 10th.
