Welcome to the Marvel/DC/Indy Hunter Tournament of Champions!
The backstory:
A bored Mr Myxyzptlk, out wandering the multiverse looking for mischief to cause, runs into the Grandmaster and is fascinated. Inspired, he and Grandmaster decide to hold a very special tournament, to see whether the craftiest of the humans can face the most powerful. To that end, he finds amid the vast multiverse a world which just happens to contain all the beings in question, a hybrid universe when all these characters have co-exited all along.
The rules as follows:
Two opponents are chosen from the following list, and given 24 hours to prepare to hunt down each other. No contact can be made prior to that time, and certain handicaps may be placed on some characters at the whims of the two Game Masters in question. Each character is given the proper motivation-- fight or suffer unspecified terrible consequences-- but they are not expected to break from their own codes of ethics.
Characters may make use of whatever resources they have, including allies, up until the hunt begins-- but then must go it alone. Our gamemasters are patient, and they do not expect every hunt to resolve instantly into a battle. Traps may be laid, plots hatched, elaborate schemes set forth. The joy is in watching the two participants at work, be that battle or cunning.
If only one of the characters has an asterisk, that character is handicapped in the following way-- they get no advance notice of the tournament or who their opponent is. This effectively gives their opponent a 24-hour head start.

Forge Vs Dracula: Forge

Well, I like to have two of these going at once, and other than the Superman/Hulk batttle, they seem to have died down, so time for the latest one: Black Adam Vs Deathstroke! Deathstroke will have 24 hours head start to plan and prepare, at which time BA will be alerted that he's in a tournament.
Starting time 10 AM (let's say Kandaq time, in the Middle East, where BA is living these days)
Let the hunt begin!
