Simple. Since Deathstroke has prepped for this for months, he will have already had the loved one(s) held hostage before the hunt began in earnest as a contingency, and Po would've been none the wiser. It could be someone Po hasn't seen for some time before the hunt and he just figured they were out training, meditating, etc. From there, Slade could, say, project a huge holographic image of himself, use a loudspeaker, or drop fliers around the vicinity of Everest with the message of the kidnapping. Since Po is already at Everest, he will very likely get the message before he would think to use the wuxi finger hold on himself and have no choice but to comply.

Kang was never considered as intelligent as Reed, though. In fact, their individual Marvel power rankings indicate that Reed is indeed smarter: Here's Kang's power rankings, and here's Reed's. While Kang would already have blueprints of Reed's inventions, he'll never have the smarts to created them from scratch as well as Reed. Meanwhile, given that a lot of Kang's tech will be futurized versions of what Reed's already created, it wouldn't take him took to decipher how it works and recreate it.

Heh. Thing is, if Death came dressed like that, most people will just say that it's a crowned skeleton or the Grim Reaper. Much like beings like the Angel of Death in The Prince of Egypt (another film I've seen recently ), Final Destination's Death doesn't have a form that anyone would recognize specifically as the entity from the Final Destination films.

Thing is, as far as Amazo has traveled, in JL/JLU he's only existed for maybe three years and still has a lot to learn about the nuances of civilization. Meanwhile, the Kree have likely traveled to countless galaxies and had encounters with a myriad of different races, creatures, etc. over their millions of years of existence, and Supremo would no doubt have records of all this stored in his memory banks. He could likely use this stored info to write some good stories.

Slade could simply kidnap someone Po cares about and place them at an isolated spot of Slade's choosing on Mount Everest. From there, DS could send a message to Po to come out of hiding and meet him or his loved one(s) will die, and Po would then come to the meeting spot, rush to the loved one(s), and then get tagged by a hidden Slade with a well-placed shot from say, a sniper rifle or his energy lance.

Heh, Cap is definitely no slouch in balance himself. That's one of the main reasons he can pull off feats like this, and all without the aid of gadgets like the T-Spheres. Also, another key to winning an office chair race is to have strong ankles and feet to help move yourself along the track in a chair, and Cap has to have strong ankles, feet, etc., to pull something like this off.

GEICO literally delivers insurance in over 30 nations, including in the UK. Not to mention that at least 5 different GEICO ads air on TV on any given day (and the Gecko is in at least two of those ads at any given time). Ah, my bad. Michael's apparently a good salesman. Still, he's generally incompetent at the rest of his job, only works for a single branch in Scranton, and has been on the job for maybe over a decade? Meanwhile, the Gecko's been the main spokesman at GEICO, one of the world's top 5 insurance companies, for 25 years, and the brand has experienced its highest highs since he came onboard. As mentioned, the Gecko has more of a proven, worldwide rep of making sales than Michael, and is certainly more personable to everyone around him. Besides, Umbrella would surely want to employ a mascot as adorable as this one:

Not so sure about that. Let's note their vehicle modes. This is Rodimus's: Meanwhile Blurr tends to have a sportscar mode. Obviously, Rodimus's alt mode can carry a lot more pizzas at once than Blurr's, so he can deliver a lot more of them in each run. Blurr would have to make more trips back and forth to the pizza place to get more product to deliver, and in his rush to try to outpace Rodimus, he'd be more likely to get stuck or get into accidents in NYC's foot and auto traffic.

You know, as I think about it, character would likely factor in heavily for Belsnickel whether or not his conscience turns. Doesn't he travel alongside Santa to help determine good kids from bad in some older stories? If that's the case, the moment Belsnickel tries to go further than his normal lashing of the kids, Santa would terminate him on the spot and strip him of his powers. The Djinn could also convince someone to ask him to fulfill Belsnickel's duties to their full capacity. He likely has the power to visit multiple targets simultaneously or even alter time so that he could visit all those kids in one night. Of course, he'd still give the good kids deadly treats and kill the bad kids, but he'd still technically be able to fulfill the duties of a Belsnickel, and with no immediate repercussions, unlike some tales say for the Belsnickel.

We all know that the Geico Gecko has plenty of charisma and knows how to make a pitch. He's also much more well-known than Dig 'em, so obscurity shouldn't be an issue. Meanwhile, I keep hearing Michael regularly fumbles at his salesman jobs, of which much of The Office's humor derives from.

Considering Slade already knows what Po's capable of and he's monitoring him, he likely won't give Po a chance to use it.

Character doesn't necessarily have to factor into this. The Djinn actually would grant the kids goodies if they wish it so. Granted, it would be horribly corrupted like being lined with poison, booby-trapped with a bomb or a portal to hell, etc., but he could definitely fulfill that task. Again, he actually does if someone wishes it so. In fact, it may bring him that much closer to freeing his fellow Djinn onto the Earth.

Thing is, traffic can get so thick in NYC, simply trying to drive around and through it won't get you too far. At some point, both 'Bots will likely have to change to robot mode to get anywhere. In both cases, Blurr's excessive speed could indeed get him into trouble. Heh, now I get to check through clips of one of my all-time favorite childhood movies again. Thank you for this. I don't know; beforehand and afterwards, he showed quite a few moments of ingenuity and bravery in battle and out. He also became wiser after becoming a Prime. As mentioned, though, going too fast in such a crowed area can be dangerous. In fact, going too fast for comfort is stated in one of his old bios to be one of his weaknesses.

Let's remember that the Djinn is pretty good with disguises. He could easily disguise himself as Belsnickel long enough to fool children into wishing for presents. Meanwhile, while Belsnickel can be harsh with his punishments to bad kids, he would never cross the lines that the Djinn does.

If Blurr goes at super speeds in NYC traffic, he's much more likely to trip himself up on other cars and other obstacles in both vehicle and robot mode, as well as trip himself up trying to avoid hurting innocents. All that could cause accidents and add to the mess of NYC's traffic. Meanwhile, as the Autobot leader in many incarnations, Rodimus is much more likely to take a smarter and more cautious approach to the deliveries and avoid the logjams that accidents will cause. Even as Hot Rod, he was always cleverer than Blurr, anyway, and would find a fast, yet safe and efficient way to get the deliveries done.

An assassin of Slade's caliber has likely already been to Mount Everest at least once, or at the very least studied the area. He tends to study environments very well. He also constantly keeps an eye on his targets, so Po very likely won't be able to hide.

As mentioned the last time the Joes had this terrain, they're pretty good with disguises. Cover Girl herself is a former model and an expert with makeup and stagecraft, and Lady Jaye is an accomplished actress (not to mention that the Sunbow version of Jaye has roots in medieval times). The two of them alone could easily craft a LARP scenario for the rest of the Joes, and the Joes as a whole would be quick studies since a lot of them infiltrate Cobra with disguises all of the time. Meanwhile, the Arachnids may be cunning enough to try to ambush humans, but I don't think they could pull off LARP costumes or use weaponry of such. In fact, they're more likely to not bother with dressing up and go against the spirit of the game by going for the kill: Man, got to actually watch Starship Troopers someday.

Hmmm ... While Amazo is a great mimic of others' abilities, the Supreme Intelligence himself is already created from the greatest Kree minds of the past million years, which likely also includes their greatest creative minds as well as their scientific ones. Between the Kree's fairly recent evolutionary advances and their battles with various intergalactic empires and other entities (which Supremo would have encyclopedic knowledge of, especially since he himself jump-started their recent evolutions), the Supreme Intelligence would no doubt have a myriad of great stories to tell.

As with the last time Death had this terrain, it'll be tough to design an easily identifiable form for it. If one can pull off a good Polar Express costume, though, people will know it right off the bat and be wowed by it.

Fun fact: at least one version of Kang is actually a descendant of Reed himself. Reed has faced off against Kang multiple times before and bested him. Part of Reed's schtick with his intelligence is his ability to reverse-engineer and/or counter his enemies' tech, weapons, etc., so he should have this.

Heh, with or without the ACME gadgets, Rev doesn't stand a chance here. In fact, as I mentioned awhile back for Discord, the very essence of toon force is chaos, so Chaos himself would be even more at home than usual here.

Another good set-up, Johnny. Glad I'm getting to this one on time. I vaguely remember seeing the title King Arthur and the Knights of Justice at some point, but likely not back in the day. Looks like it was probably a decent '90's show that acts more as an '80's toon: Judging from the episode, it looks like Arthur King is a good, creative fighter and leader that picks up on things pretty quickly. Macbeth has the experience edge, though, so toe-to-toe, Arthur may initially get in trouble unless he unleashes the Dragon of the Shield. Either way, though, both sides may sense something is amiss and stop fighting before things get too serious.

Man, my laptop is laggy right now. 🙄😄 Between that and other engagements, I'll come back to this a little later. And there were quite a few very close votes here. Not surprised, since Twogunkid and Culwych virtually went to war here. Let's also remember that in the case of tied user votes, UMPIRE makes the deciding votes in the semis and finals. There's a fairly good chance UMPIRE made the call on a lot of these in both semis. Anyways, looks like it's you and me now, @Culwych1.

You had a very good run, as well, my man. You actually kind of had me stuck in the Chaos vs. Arthur match-up, as well as giving some tough debates all around. 😅 Looking at this Draft overall, it goes to show that debating and putting in the effort for such will get you just as far as making good picks alone.

Heh, not entirely sure how the vote was close on this one.
