Weekly Excluded Comics – RWBY/Justice League #10 (Alt), The Other History Of The DC Universe #4 (Alt)
Hero Of The Week- Batman with 35 Points over 4 Appearances. He also took Performance of the Week, scoring 15 Points in a single Appearance (Adam Strange scored 13 Points). Damian Wayne and Clark Kent tied for second with 14 Points over 2 Appearances. In one Appearance, Batman had beaten everyone this week.
Antagonist Of The Week – With the Suicide Squad and most of Batman’s Rogues Gallery out to play this week, there was actually more than a handful of villains. Peacemaker put up an admirable effort with 5 Points, but Clayface takes it this week with 6 Points.
Book Of The Week- Neither Batman’s Rogues or the Bat-Family itself could beat the return of the Seven Soldiers Of Victory in Stargirl Spring Break Special #1, which brought in 53 Points over 10 Characters.
Welcome To The League – 6 New Heroes: The new Mister Miracle (Shilo Norman), and The Seven Soldiers Of Victory (5 of Them): Crimson Avenger, Shining Knight, STRIPES, Vigilante, Wing
MONTH END RANKING
HEROES
1.) Batman (Bruce Wayne) – 393 Points, 69 Appearances
2.) Superman (Clark Kent) – 258 Points, 40 Appearances
3.) Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) – 192 Points, 27 Appearances
4.) Superboy (Jonathan Kent) – 179 Points, 28 Appearances
5.) Nightwing (Dick Grayson) – 132 Points, 27 Appearances
6.) Batman (Jace Fox) – 113 Points, 22 Appearances
7.) Robin (Damian Wayne) – 109 Points, 24 Appearances
8.) Catwoman (Selina Kyle) – 102 Points, 14 Appearances
9.) Red Hood (Jason Todd) – 88 Points, 13 Appearances
10.) Harley Quinn (Harleen Quinzel) – 87 Points, 18 Appearances
Commentary: Harley Quinn slips in, as most of the Top 10 cross over the 100 Points threshold. Selina Kyle is perhaps the most impressive performer, scoring 102 Points with 14 Appearances, nearly half of those above her.
VILLAINS
1.) Poison Ivy – 50 Points, 10 Appearances
2.) Scarecrow – 47 Points, 14 Appearances
3.) Black Adam – 41 Points, 9 Appearances
4.) Vandal Savage – 41 Points, 11 Appearances
5.) Lex Luthor – 38 Points, 8 Appearances
6.) Sinestro- 34 Points, 5 Appearances
7.) Killer Croc- 34 Points, 9 Appearances
8.) The Joker – 33 Points, 13 Appearances
9.) Clayface – 32 Points, 6 Appearances
10.) Talia Al Ghul – 31 Points, 8 Appearances
Commentary: Poison Ivy’s lead begins to shrivel as Scare-Crow continues towards his big event in August. Queen Ivy looks to be a Ram V storyline, so these two will be in direct competition with each other. An otherwise unremarkable month, I keep expecting Penguin to show up here, but he’s only at 19, despite 11 Appearances.
Key: TU – Team-Up; LT – Lead Team; SC – Save Civilian; CD – Character Development; DA – Defeat Antagonist.
