Slashing through the snow, Deadpool’s come to save the day… and Christmas! Wade Wilson agrees to his least-jolly assignment ever when a bunch of scorned children take out a hit on Santa Claus. The merry merc restores Santa’s good name when he takes out the real grinch responsible for the toy shortage. His good behavior, and four appearances, place him on the top of the Fantasy Comic League power rankings with 17 points. The immortal Hulk, a character with the potential to have a big month, starts December off with a strong 15-point second place. The X-Men make up more than half of the Top 10 performances once again, with Jean Grey and Storm leading them in the books and the rankings. The long-time lady leaders tie with 10 points in third place.
Veteran X-Men are not the only mutants having all the fun in the weekly Uncanny X-Men, as shown by Armor’s strong debut in the Fantasy Comic League. The rebellious student leads her classmates in defying the elder X-Men’s leadership, and earns extra appearances in the Merry X-Men Holiday Special and X-Men: The Exterminated. Her nine points tie her with infamously rebellious mutant, Namor for fifth place. Doctor Strange slides into the top performances thanks to a strong showing in his solo title. Jubilee, the star of the X-Men Holiday Special, and Iceman join the Doctor in seventh place with eight points. Pixie represents the loyal side of the X-Students. Her six points, and her courage in standing up to her friend and classmate, gives her a one-point edge over a quartet of characters vying to break into the top performances for the week.
Hero and power usages are a combination of all Fantasy Comic League divisions: Asgard, Asteroid M, Do You Even Comic Book, Genosha, Latveria, Midtown, Multiverse, Negative Zone, Red Room and Wakanda. League participants should cross-reference the official points with their hero roster and drafted powers for their heroes’ scores.
