Frankenstein; are you presenting the “good” doctor, or his monster (technically the “monster” is called Frankenstein’s monster).

One more nitpick, the Grinch? Thanks’ to Suzie Woo, he becomes a good guy. I mean really, if you’re going to use a Chuck Jones animated character (OK, Seuss, but still everyone knows the Grinch from the animated TV special) you could go with “Super Genius” Wile “E” Coyote, a cool matchup indeed against Dr. Moriarty. The destruction alone in that battle would be classic.

As for Oolong Island I have one complaint in that Galactus & Darkseid shouldn’t be matched up in the early rounds, you’re talking a 1 vs. 2 pick something that the NCAA matchup doesn’t do. It goes highest against lowest, so if we follow tradition, they wouldn’t meet until the later rounds.

Oolong Island:
Galactus
Lex Luthor
Ra’s al Ghul
Light Yagami
Pruneface (old school again)
Joker
Doc Oct
Magneto (early 2nd rounder, Doc oc gets shredded, literally by Magneto).

(hard to believe this is a first-round game, I’d love to talk to the head of the seeding committee)

Lex Luthor vs. Norman Osborn: Lex.

Pruneface vs. The Kingpin: Pruneface because Dick Tracy rules.

The Joker vs. Swarm: Joker. I mean, the Joker has foiled Batman for decades

Dr. Light vs. Dr. Octopus: Dr. Ock, mostly because of what I don’t want to see in the second-round

Lucy Van Pelt vs. Magneto: Lucy is a classic villain. She overcharges for “advice.” She hates animals and animal kisses. She slugs people at will and without warning. She hates Beethoven. She picks on the weak and dumb. Magneto should be no problem for her.

DK V Bowser: Gotta go with Bowser. smarter, and has an army, not just an assortment of barrels.
Sephiroth V Zeus: Given that this is just the video game Zeus (and therefore defeatable), Im gonna say Sephiroth. 9,999 hit point make for being a real pain in the butt.
Blinky v Mother Brain: Sorry metroid fans, but Im going with the ghost. He runs away alot, but he is basically immortal
Dr WIly vs The FLood: Gotta go with the flood. Sure Wily has some robots and henchmen, but the flood can take out entire civilizations.

Lex Luthor vs Norman Osborn: Luthor. No question
Joker vs. Swarm: Joker. The comic book version of the Joker (and not Jack Nicholsons portrayal) is bad-assed. Some Bee-dude isnt gonna take him.
Magneto vs Lucy Van Pelt: By no means could Lucy win any conventional battle, but being made of leather and possessing no metal bits, I dont know how Magneto is ever going to kick that football
