Thanks to everyone who voiced their opinion in the Olympian Games' Swimming Competition! On behalf of Main Man Hammerknight, I am happy to report the following characters are our winners:
Gold Medal: Aquaman (DC)
Silver Medal: Namor the Sub-Mariner (Marvel)
Bronze Medal: Blue from Hellboy (Dark Horse)
Finally a publisher other than DC or Marvel breaks onto the medal stand! After three events, Marvel and DC are still tied, with four medals apiece, while Dark Horse makes their first move with one.
I am happy for Aquaman since, let's be honest, he doesn't have a lot going for him other than swimming ability. I mean, can you imagine Namor bothering to talk with a flounder or a herring? I think not.
ETA: Forgot the title. Oops.
“Blue from Hellboy?” That would be “Abe Sapien.”
Which is why Namor would win. Aquaman would stop to talk to some fish which would leave the door wide open for the Sub-Mariner.
I’m just disappointed that Aspen Mathews (Fathom, Aspen Studios) was not allowed to compete.
@David, No one nominated him.
Her actually. I will have to keep a better eye out for the nominee process.
Well, looks like Atlantis claims gold and silver on this one. So what, is Atlantis kinda like Monaco? Prince Albert of Monaco having been a Winter Olympian as a bobsleder in addition to being the current ruler of Monaco (although he succeeded his father in 2005 and has not competed since 2002). Aquaman and Namor both being rulers of Atlantis in their respective universe.
@John, yes that would be Abe, I knew who its was that was nominated, but at the time his name just was not coming to me, call it old age I guess. So I just wrote down what was nominated.
