Shrek with the ebony blade and Dane's sword skills could not die from Qui-Gon for like five strokes. Spider-Girl is not going to survive a Jedi and Gamora. No way.

The CBUB Fantasy Draft: Season 14 (Coming Soon) CBUB Fantasy Teams is kind of like Fantasy Sports games. You draft a Team and they get thrown into matches for a "Season" which is typically several weeks. As I work on the final details of Season 14, I would like to add some teasers for what is to come. Over the next little while I will be editing this post to contain a sample of what is to come! This season will include a few special rules to be revealed at a later date, so stay tuned! First I would like to give a shoutout to @Culwych1 who has created a vast majority of the images we will be using during this season! With that being said, let's reveal our 1st slot! Slot 1: The Comic Book Leader This is a a leader who can lead their team a victory regardless of it is a battle, or through diplomacy. Morales will be challenged and tough calls will have to be made. Choose Wisely! Examples: Captain America Cyclops Batman Superman Slot 2: The Horror Slasher This is evil incarnate - committing the most heinous of acts. These unforgivable monsters will be challenged to do what they do best in unique ways. Examples: Michael Meyers Jason Vorhees Ghostface Jigsaw

I love your interpretation of me lol. Man I wish I could make cbub battles come to life, maybe that's the next step for CBUB. Simulation is too expensive though so I'll just dress you guys up as monsters and make you fight. Definitley a creative story.

I'm of two minds with this faceoff. If Andre was in his prime, I could see him defeating Bigfoot, but Hogan era Andre was well past that point. So I was leaning towards Bigfoot but then I thought about the pageantry of professional wrestling and realized the fix was in. Of course, Andre is going to defeat Bigfoot so his eventual loss to Hogan would be more epic. Give me Andre! Good Match!

This should have been in the January challenge... As fierce as the Wakandan's are, the Amazons are their superiors I say.

I always love a good dark lord vs dark lord battle, it’s just way more fun than a regular hero v hero fight. I’m more familiar with Knull then Vecna so I’ll lean in favor of the Symbiote God.

Haha, creative setup, I appreciate the cameo! That was a lot of fun. I think Chewie has this.

Okay, the portrayal of Goku's naivete got a chuckle out of me. Good chapter for your Unforeseen arc, Venom. I could almost see Goku waiting things out for a worthy opponent like this. I wouldn't be that surprised if Master Roshi got a nosebleed over Anissa at some point in the recap. 😆 As for the match, Anissa may have an edge in raw speed, but from the Cell Games onward, I think Goku has every other advantage. Goku probably takes this after Anissa initially makes him work (and no, not like that! ).

Kimberly with Ashoka's powers and a pair of lightsabers? That's all team 1 needs. Comic Kimberly is something and this is before she becomes Ranger Slayer.

Some unexpected sadistic bloodlust from Gohan, the princesses must be protected. As for his dad, he will be fine and win this fight.

THE BOTTOM LINE Philippa Forrester: Queen Bee directs her swarm at Batwing and D’Vorah but both of her opponents leap out of the way. Batwing fires off an explosive Batarang that knocks the Queen off her feet! Reinhardt: Ha ha! Just as I told you: Technology always squashes bugs! Philippa Forrester: D’Vorah takes to the air to meet Ironheart! She hurls one of her larvae to summon a swarm around the Stark protégé. Ironheart is able to counterattack with her repulsor rays and disperse the swarm, but D’Vorah is on her! Reinhardt: She’s trying to break through the armor with her stingers! Ha! Not very likely. Philippa Forrester: Don’t be so sure, Reinhardt! D’Vorah’s pincers are leaving some dents in that armor! Batwing advances towards the still unsteady Queen Bee. Another Batarang strike followed by a grapple to restrain her. Reinhardt: Look! Above! That Ironheart girl just blasted the other bug woman! Philippa Forrester: She’s got D’Vorah on the ropes! Her wings are barely keeping her in the air! Double blast of repulsors and D’Vorah is sent spiraling into the dugout! Reinhardt: And then there were two! Philippa Forrester: Batwing fires up his jet pack! Ironheart dodges his initial onslaught of Batarangs. Fires off a repulsor and…. Batwing took it?! Reinhardt: Fantastic! I didn’t realize his armor was that strong! Philippa Forrester: Me neither! Batwing must have added some upgrades to his suit! He fires off a missile and it finds it’s mark! Ironheart is going down! One more hit and it’ll be all over! Reinhardt: Come on, Ironheart! Fight to the very end! Philippa Forrester: Batwing is following her down, lining up the shotWHOA! Reinhardt: Ironheart blasted up past the Bat! Philippa Forrester: She baited Batwing! She’s in position! Both repulsors ready! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Reinhardt: Ha ha! One roast bat! Philippa Forrester: The referee checks Batwing, lying in a crater in left field, his armor scattered around him. Referee: Winner: Ironheart and Queen Bee! Reinhardt: Now that is what I call a battle! Philippa Forrester: It took all of Ironheart’s power to break through Batwing’s defenses, but finally she was able to secure herself the victory! As Mercy and her team tend to the injured, we hope all of you will join us as we present more action from the Transdimensional Combat Commission into the new year! Reinhardt: I know I shall! Philippa Forrester: Stay tuned for the conclusion of Battlesphere 3! For Mercy, Reinhardt, and all the rest of the TCC, I’m Philippa Forrester! Good night, everyone! Reinhardt: Catchphrase! D’Vorah: This one was not pleased with how this battle turned out. Queen Bee: Pathetic humanzzzz! Which one of you idiotic dronezzz will free me from thizzz device?! Mercy: My kingdom for a can of Raid.

I see Lord Zedd being the powerhouse of Team 2. The only ones that could give Zedd problems are Carrie and Alice. Especially if Alice has her powers. But with Lord Zedd having backup from his two teammates, I’m sure he can win this match.

Somewhat of a new character rumble. When @Mercenaryblade added Phosphorus and Atomic Skull I realized that I get all three of these mixed up, which is somewhat because I believe Blight is based on Doctor Phosphorus, but either way death match for all three of them where only one can remain standing for my sanity.

Just a few months ago I read the comic that showed the Dragon Thunderzord. There are a lot of new Megazord combos (White Tiger/Dragonzord). Here again, I'm going with the Dragon Thunderzord.

I recently looked into bringing back guests votes, it is not possible at this time. I can look into seeing vote numbers, but I can't promise it, the more integrated a feature the harder it is to change.

Splash page now includes: Featured battle - Displays a random active battle. This will hopefully let guests choose a match faster so they don't get overwhelmed. Battles in Progress (updated) - No separates by match type - rumbles, rates, etc... it also gives you the choice to view as a single list or a 2x2 grid. It will remember your choices, you can even choose to hide match types from your view. On top of that, all matches now credit the author! - I couldn't get the Featured member block to work just yet.

THE BATTLE OF HOLLOW TREE Ernie Keebler strolled through the bustling Hollow Tree Factory. The scent of fresh-baked cookies wafted through the air. Ernie's brown hat bobbed with every cheerful step. Inside the tree, the Keebler Elves were hard at work, each dedicated to their particular craft. All happy to do their part in the process. "Elwood, that dough looks perfect today!" Ernie called out to a flour covered elf who was rolling out sheets of cookie dough with the practiced precision. "Thanks, boss! Gotta make sure it's just the right consistency," Elwood replied. Ernie gave Elwood a thumbs-up. Ernie then passed by Sam the Peanut Butter baker, who was expertly layering dollops of creamy peanut butter into cookies. Ernie inhaled deeply. "Smells divine, Sam!" "That’s my secret. You bake with love!" Sam said with a proud smile. Further down the line, Buckets, true to his name, gleefully flung fudge over rows of cookies with a quick flick of his wrist. "Buckets, your aim is as sweet as ever!" Ernie quipped. Buckets chuckled. “Years of practice, boss!” Elsewhere, the hard work of the Keebler Elves was on full display over at Sesame Street. On a small picnic table in the park, a colorful assortment of Keebler cookies lay scattered. Ernie Keebler had left behind a large collection of their finest creations for the residents of Sesame Street to enjoy after a recent visit. Among the selection were golden-brown Chips Deluxe cookies studded with sweet chocolate chunks, and shortbread Sandies, dusted with powdered sugar. Also, there were buttery Pecan Dreams, the chocolate drizzled Fudge Stripes, and gooey, fudge-filled E.L. Fudge sandwich cookies. Cookie Monster stood near the picnic table; his googly eyes fixed on the cookies with a look of unrestrained glee. "Cookies! Me love cookies!" he exclaimed with anticipation. "Go ahead, Cookie Monster," Grover said gently from behind him. "They're for everyone. We even separated some of them just for you." Grover pointed to a separate pile of cookies. Cookie Monster did not need a second invitation. He lunged at the table and grabbed a handful of Fudge Stripes. "Om nom nom nom!" The cookies from Cookie Monster’s pile disappeared with alarming speed. Crumbs flew everywhere. Grover stepped forward cautiously. "Cookie Monster, slow down! You must savor the cookies, not inhale them!" But Cookie Monster didn’t seem to hear him. He was already onto the Chips Deluxe from the main pile, shoving fistfuls into his mouth. His eyes spun wildly, and his excitement escalated with every bite. "So delicious! So chocolaty! So... so... perfect!" "Uh, Cookie Monster," Elmo piped up, his voice tinged with worry, "maybe you should take a little break? Elmo thinks you might get a tummy ache." Cookie Monster paused for a split second. Then he grabbed a stack of Sandies and growled. "No stop! Me need more cookies!" The crowd of Sesame Street residents around Cookie Monster began to back away as his eating grew more frantic. He snatched an entire tray of E.L. Fudge cookies. His growls grew louder and more animalistic. His eyes no longer spun with joy, instead they whirled with a frenzied, feral hunger. Grover turned to Elmo. "Oh dear, this is not good. I’ve never seen him this bad before, Elmo.” Elmo nodded. "What do we do? Elmo doesn’t think this is gonna end well!" Grover stepped forward. He raised his arms in a calming gesture. "Cookie Monster, my friend, please listen to Grover. These cookies are a gift, but we must be respectful and share with others. You are better than this!" Cookie Monster stopped briefly and glared at Grover. He slammed his hands on the table. "No sharing! All cookies belong to ME!" Grover stumbled back and almost fell over Elmo. Elmo gulped and stepped forward. "Cookie Monster, Elmo knows you love cookies, but what about Elmo's feelings? Elmo’s sad when his friends don’t share. Doesn’t Cookie Monster want to make Elmo happy?" Cookie Monster grabbed a handful of Pecan Dreams and growled. The look on his face was unrecognizable to his friends and sent shivers down their spines. Back at the Elves’ workshop, the ring of the factory’s phone brought Ernie back over to his desk. "Hello, Hollow Tree Factory, this is Ernie Keebler speaking," he announced brightly. "Hey Ernie, it’s Big Bird.” "Ah! Big Bird! How’s everything on Sesame Street?" Ernie asked. Big Bird’s tone was unusually somber. "Ernie, I hate to call you for this, but there’s a problem. You know those cookies you left behind when you visited?” “Yeah, did the kids not like them?” Ernie wondered. “No, the kids loved them... but so did Cookie Monster." Ernie laughed. "Of course! That guy’s got a sweet tooth as big as a boulder." Big Bird hesitated for a moment and then continued. "It’s worse than that, Ernie. Those cookies triggered something in him. He’s... he’s gone wild. Wilder than we have ever seen him before. Grover and Elmo tried to calm him down, but Cookie Monster…he, uh, knocked them out in a rage. He’s obsessed with getting more Keebler cookies, he squeezed the location out of Bert and...and... he’s on his way to the Hollow Tree right now." Ernie’s smile faded. "What? How long do we have?" Big Bird sighed. "Not long. I’m so sorry, Ernie. We tried to stop him, but he’s on a warpath right now. My suggestion is to not get in his way. Good luck." Ernie hung up the phone. His mind raced and his hands trembled. He dashed over to the wrapping station where Fast Eddie was sealing packages. "Eddie, slow down! We need to get some cookies ready to put outside as a peace offering." Eddie’s hands froze mid-wrap. "Peace offering? What are you talking about, boss?" Ma Keebler, with a rolling pin in her hand, walked over to the station followed by Doc and Flo, the Keebler Elf accountant. "What’s all the commotion, Ernie?" asked Ma Keebler. Ernie quickly explained the dire situation. When he finished, Doc rubbed his chin. "Ernie, I’m not sure a few cookies will satisfy Cookie Monster. From what you’ve said and what we have observed from him; his hunger and obsession might not stop until he’s devoured everything we’ve got." Ma Keebler frowned. "If that is the case, maybe we should abandon the factory. I certainly don’t want anyone getting hurt if he barrels through here. We can rebuild and start up again somewhere else." Flo shook her head. "If we lose the factory, we lose everything. Our recipes, our inventory, our machines, our livelihood. We have to protect it." Ernie thought it over and nodded firmly. "Flo’s right. We’ve worked too hard to establish ourselves to let it all crumble now. We’ll defend the Hollow Tree." "But it’s a factory, not a fortress!" Ma Keebler protested. The low rumble of a deep, guttural voice interrupted them and echoed through the forest. "Cooooookieeee!" "Cooooookieeee!" The sound grew louder, accompanied by the crunch of branches and the rustling of leaves. The elves froze, their eyes wide with fear. "He sounds like he is almost here," Eddie whispered. Ernie took a deep breath and turned to his team. "We’re not giving up without a fight. We’ve got tools, we’ve got ingenuity, and we’ve got each other. Let’s use what we have to protect our home."

I’ll always back professional soldiers over lowly slavers. The ODSTs slaughter.

I like this. I think one, two, maybe even three Deep Ones is a good fight for Tarzan, but seven is pushing it. Maybe if he gets lucky and gets all of them in one bazooka blast (which I doubt). I love the set up, but I will have to give this to the Deep Ones unfortunately. Sorry Tarzan.

Life happens, no worries!

I was beyond swamped with work and personal life. I apologize for not submitting something. I'm going to go read everyone's entry. I'll make sure I get something in next time and once again, sorry for not participating.

I agree with the general consensus. This is amazing, very creative, but Remy will probably be the one to do it. That little rat had the entirety of Paris wow-ed. Hannibal is a good chef, but I don't think he's on the level of Remy.

This is so imaginative and good characterization. I love the judges! This is one tough match to beat *sweats* A fitting scenario for Hannibal and Remy to go head to head (so to speak). My money is on Remy. Got to love an underdog.

This was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed how the judges bounced off each other. Was originally thinking you were going to pair off the contestants, but it makes sense that Hannibal would systematically go after his competitors. I'm guessing it's his main motivation for competing. Now that there are only two of them, I'm going with Remy's skills to lead Alfredo to victory.

Godzilla Junior fought against a (lesser) form of Destoroyah. Suko is going to be left as nothing but a stain on the floor.

Going with Marciano, the undefeated great. He knocks out Desantos and defeats Balboa. Balboa challenges him later to an undetermined outcome.

Alright, here are my thoughts on the match itself: This is a good chapter for the arc, @Venom 2009, but personally, I would've liked to see more of your fictional self's thoughts while you're (literally) in Zedd's shoes, body, etc., like how conflicted you still might be about filling Zedd's role. But that's just me. Also, I hope the rest of you have considered that fact that Tommy is under Zedd's control at this point in the arc, so he probably won't be helping out his fellow Rangers out much, if at all. In fact, aside from possibly sabotaging the Rangers efforts in this fight, Tommy may even go as far as attacking Zordon and Alpha in the Control Center while he's at it.

I think the Shin Robo wins. It's made up of Godzilla on top of other Japanese heroes.

Team 1 is a very powerful team. I hate to do it but I think I'll cast my vote that way.

Something tells me I better take a swing at this. Revisit some of my stand alone stories that are sitting around.

Since the Zeo Rangers are powered up putties I'll take the originals to take them down.

Orca>>>>>>>>>>>>>sharks. That one scene in Jaws 2 was pure bullshit.

The orca from the movie was rather crafty with its attacks. Almost supernatural ability. Even in a real world scenario, killer whales are highly intelligent.

Hope you all enjoy

Given orcas regularly prey on sharks I'm going with the Orca

Leaning towards Orca on this one but honestly cannot recall the film at all.

Count me in!

Gryla is just the public domain character I'd think the GhostBusters would encounter. Space N@zi is a bit out of there wheelhouse, but I find Gryla to be out of Radec's wheelhouse. So I think Gryla takes the win here

I've been a big fan of this duo since you put them together. I've never played the Little Big Planet. but from what I can see looking at gameplay I think Sir Daniel and Gex can prevail.

Nicely done. I have been debating doing this match for the last week or so. I really like the poetic Christmas story approach you took. I think it could go either way but I'm going with Nikamund.

Of course you are. 😁

H2H Rambo dies pretty easily, even against a single one. One of those things devoured a grizzly without any issues what so ever. I know average crocodiles and alligators have a pretty powerful bite. I can remember the weight of the force of their bites/grips but it is a lot. These lake placid ones are bigger so I imagine Rambo goes down hard With weapons, I think he would fair pretty well

Nice to see the Three Ghosts are finally in a match.

Love it! A great combo which honestly should be done every Christmas. Giving it to Ghostbusters.

Nice to see a match with Mega-Kaiju. Even if Mega-Kaiju is bigger, I don't think he has what it takes to take down the Big-G.

Hope you all enjoy

This setup is excellent! A great use of the ghosts of Christmas, although I don't know if they can talk or show memories/visions enough to the Ghostbusters to delay their eventual capture.

They face these guy in the cartoon. But not this way. Ghostbusters got this.

YES! The King of Monsters is on the scene! Mega-Kaiju is large so the big G is in for a fight.
