Tournament of Super Powers Update – Round 1 Voting OPEN!

On Monday we opened the voting in the first two matchups of the Tournament of Super Powers, but there were some issues with the second matchup poll not appearing on the page. To those who voted, thank you! But we’re starting over.

The issue has since been fixed, but in making repairs I realized how unlikely it was that time would permit me to continue to create individual daily posts featuring each matchup accompanied by a write up and images. This happens from time to time, I overestimate how much time and energy I’ll have to dedicate on the site, and this happens:

The crazy thing is, this tournament has gotten a ton of unexpected attention from sites who hadn’t previously linked to us. I credit it to Tank’s rad bracket graphic he made. We were included in two “Bracket of Brackets” style tournaments, one on Flavorwire (where we pulled STAR WARS in the first round, like we had a chance there!)(but it was an honor just to share the court with them) and one on SportsGrid (where we pulled a #2 SEED!). The point is, all the attention made me feel like a bum for falling behind with the matchups/voting.

I decided to use Challonge again, our tried and true partner that hosted our brackets (as well as Rediscover the 80s, Cold Slither, etc) in years past. So go here to vote on which super powers and abilities you’d want to possess most and stay tuned for round updates and further opportunities to vote. [NOTE: Voting doesn’t appear to work on an iPad or other mobile device]
