Rumble Pants I: Championship Round
What is Rumble Pants? Well, the Panteon has decided to play at god once more. We take a few select comic characters and pit them against one another for our amusement, but we figured why keep the fun all to ourselves? So we decided on a format that would require your participation and will hopefully provide amusement for you at the same time. The format is a single elimination tournament with weekly rounds decided by you, the reader. Just keep reading to help decide the ultimate fate of some of your favorite comic characters!
This week it’s the Championships! Just vote in each of the Villain Division match-ups and each of the Hero Division match-ups to keep your favorites in the tournament. Remember, this isn’t about who would be most likely win in each fight; it’s about who you want to win each fight and advance to the next round. Click the bracket thumbnail above to the side to see how the tournament has progressed so far. Next week will be a whole new bracket! If you don’t see your favorite characters in the tournament, don’t worry, we’ll be doing a whole new brackets after we crown an overall champ.

QuoteHarley has this in the bag. You just can’t keep a good clown down.

QuoteWhy it’s down to the battle of the fan service babes. Imagine that, one might think we’re a bunch of comic book nerds.
Voted for Harley, even though she took down “Ze Lepair”, mostly cause I’m more familiar with her than squirrel girl.

QuoteDarkseid and Dr. Strange got robbed!!!

QuoteHm. One’s DC, one’s Marvel.
Amalgam, perhaps?

QuoteDamnit, quit making me choose like this!
30 May 2007 at 5:43 pm
Quotefirst time in my life my vote has mattered. Harley currently up by 1%. (Can I go on claiming to be a Marvel Zombie if I’ve never read a comic in which Squirrel Girl appeared?)

QuoteThe only path to victory is for it to Stay 50/50! Harley and Doreen the queens of comics!

QuoteHere’s how I see the last match going down. Darkseid shows up in the Rumble Pants arena, sees Harley, thinks about obliterating her with Omega Beams, but there’s something about her that he likes, and he just can’t do it. Harley, being somewhat damaged in her choice of men, likes him, and they go off to Apokolips to spend some time together. A jealous Joker follows via Boom Tube, and though Harley honestly can’t understand what he’s so upset about, she doesn’t want to hurt her “puddin’” so she hits Darkseid over the head with something heavy and Apokoliptian. He can’t bring himself to destroy her, but he also can’t have her around screwing with his head, so he Omega Beams the Joker into oblivion and sends Harley back to the wrong Earth, where she meets up with Squirrel Girl, who has been anxiously awaiting the arrival of her opponent after she managed to beat Dr. Strange.
Meanwhile, Adam Strange is over at a house in Greenwich Village, talking with a very confused asian butler, and trying to figure out what he means when he says “Your opponent is Squirrel Girl.” Because the notion that Squirrel Girl could beat the Master of Mystic Arts is just stupid. And Squirrel Girl, alone in the ring, wins by default.

QuoteDisgusted by these proceedings. Squirrel Girl!!!!! wtf!!!
I would`ve expected better from Comic Pants readers… for shame… for shame…

QuoteI am still not buying it Randy, but nice try!!!
30 May 2007 at 10:52 pm
Quote…still a tie

QuoteI had a hard time choosing. Gave it to Squirrel Girl because Harley would probably laugh at the gal and the gimmick and end up falling out of the ring and somehow knocking herself out.
The way this ended up was just priceless. Shows we “comic geeks” have a great and twisted sense of humor.

QuoteWhen I get my hands on a zeta beam, a jetpack and a laser pistol, I’m gonna find you people who screwed Adam Strange over and make you pay!

Quote14 comments so far and no one has said the obvious……
CATFIGHT!
31 May 2007 at 8:56 am
QuoteSadly, more likely a squirrel fight…
31 May 2007 at 9:40 am
QuoteI hate squirrels, show me alady who can laugh and I’ll take her any day over a nut gatherer
31 May 2007 at 10:39 am
QuotePersonally I’d prefer the nut gatherer.
31 May 2007 at 12:11 pm
QuoteHopefully, this ends with them making out.
31 May 2007 at 1:30 pm
QuoteGo Squirrel Girl!
31 May 2007 at 9:42 pm
QuoteI voted both harley and squirl girl before, but for this round harley gets my vote.

QuoteIf you vote against Squirrel Girl then you have no soul.

QuoteWhere in hell does this Harley Quinn love come from?
01 Jun 2007 at 12:49 pm
QuoteThe Batman Animated series, where she was an interesting original character who made a good foil for the Joker and Batman both. Her stories in the DCU have been average at best, but on the Animated Series, she was a great character.
I have more trouble figuring out why everyone finds the one-joke Squirrel Girl so endearing, to be honest.
01 Jun 2007 at 12:52 pm
QuoteIts about supporting the underdog, Randy.
A vote for Harley Quinn is a vote for every cheerleader who ignored you in high school, every girl you asked to the prom who “already had plans,” and for communism.
A vote for Squirrel Girl is a vote for Mom, Apple Pie, Truth, Justice, and Baseball.
01 Jun 2007 at 3:52 pm
QuoteSee, I prefer to think of it as “a vote for Harley Quinn is a vote for hot clown girls” and “a vote for Squirrel Girl is a vote for girls who like squirrels.”
Ew. Now I’m so creeped out I don’t want to vote for either of them.
02 Jun 2007 at 12:32 am
QuoteAnd thus, what /co/ wants, /co/ gets.
02 Jun 2007 at 7:27 am
Quoteanonymous is everywhere fools……and since you can’t really 4chan-proof anything, this was bound to end this way.
02 Jun 2007 at 8:20 am
QuoteBut if she always wins her fights, then how is she the underdog? Wouldn’t that make her the… overdog, or over-rodent something?
02 Jun 2007 at 9:37 am
QuoteI like it. This summer, vote for the Overdog. Or maybe the Over-Underdog. Man, this is too confusing. I’m just gonna vote for the sexy clown.
02 Jun 2007 at 7:13 pm
QuoteI’m gonna use proxies to vote for Harly ‘coz she deserves to win.
04 Jun 2007 at 6:45 pm
QuoteClowns are overrated.
04 Jun 2007 at 6:49 pm
QuoteWait a minute, when I checked this morning the clown-girl had it by a few percentages, now suddenly Squirrel girl is in the lead, this late in the game? Shenanigans! I call Shenanigans! :O

QuoteBlame me if Squirrel Girl wins. >:3
04 Jun 2007 at 9:30 pm
QuoteI’m with Freehaven on this one.
Squirrel Girl ROCKS.

QuoteNot on topic, but Underdog fought Overcat for the championship of the Universe. It all started because the Milk Wells ran dry on Overcats planet and they steal all of Earth’s cows.
