CBUB Fantasy Draft - Throw in your Slot Idea

I think rehashing some old categories we've already had would be a good way to get some ideas. One of a few ideas I had:

TV Detectives vs. Low-tier Comic Book Villains

• TV Detectives: Detectives or police officers who appear in police procedurals or police dramas. Police movies would probably be acceptable here as well. Mostly, we're looking to get rid of detectives like Batman, Light Yagami, or Sherlock Holmes, who have essentially superhuman levels of perception. 
• Low-tier Comic Book Villains: Similar to the season 4 "The Team's Worst Criminal" category, a street-tier character who often loses in the comic book world they inhabit. Their powers should be very limited, and they should be something of a joke. However, this category seeks to prove if they would be a viable threat in a more realistic scenario. 
• Scenario Examples: 
  • Murder: The comic book villain has murdered a man in a robbery gone wrong. There are no witnesses to the crime, but the villain is one of many known villains in the city. Can the detective pin the crime on the correct villain?
  • Assassination: The villain has time to set up a scheme to kill a local mayor, but they must personally be present in the room to make sure it goes off without a hitch. They may personally pull the trigger, but they don't have to. Can the detective uncover the scheme before the villain flees town?
  • Robbery: The villain plans to steal from a wealthy local resident of a relatively small town. Can the detective solve the crime before the criminal skips town with their ill-gotten gains

I know this is very similar to a category we had recently, but I like the idea of detectives who aren't world-class super geniuses getting time in the sun. Plus, putting the spotlight on some lesser-known, less powerful comic book villains in a way that emphasizes their strengths rather than their weaknesses could be a fun exercise.  

 

I didn't know I wanted Columbo vs Kite Man before now.

"Oh, Mr. Brown, just one more thing. When we were talking yesterday, you said the killer got away on a giant kite. Y'see, I got a nephew who's big into kites. He loves the things, can't get enough of 'em, and I noticed when I was browsing your house the other day that you had an extensive collection of kites yourself. What are the odds, right? But there's just one thing that's been bothering me. You said he got away on a big kite, but someone who loves kites so much would know that what you described isn't a kite, sir. It's a hang-glider. Just something that's been bothering me, is all."

Oh I see ya'll was doing this all that time when I didn't know the site was back. I see how ya'll is.

Here's a slot that would be good-

Character but without their powers or gadgets are weapons or stuff.

These would be well known, well developed characters as matches would be stuff like boxing match, solve a murder mystery. run a company, negotiate peace of something between hostile nations, babysit a one year old,

That's a really fun idea. A super powered character without any powers

Once again: Team Pilot slot would be good.

I also don't know, but it seems like every fantasy draft there are certain characters that are always picked. How many drafts has Batman, John Wick, and Master Chief been in now? There are others too, but I think giving other characters a shot would make things fresher.
