MONTH END RESULTS
TOP TEN HEROES

2.) Nightwing (Dick Grayson) – 218 Points, 53 Appearances
3.) Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) – 192 Points, 34 Appearances
4.) Superman (Clark Kent) – 161 Points, 33 Appearances

9.) Oracle (Barbara Gordon) – 132 Points, 49 Appearances
10.) Catwoman (Selina Kyle) – 110 Points, 13 Appearances
Commentary: Congrats to Dick Grayson for passing 200, Diana will likely next month as well. The big losers were the Batgirls, with Stephanie getting booted out of the top 10 by Catwoman, and Oracle nearly dropping out, from 6 to 9. Aquaman is the big winner, jumping from 9th into the Top 5.
TOP TEN ANTAGONISTS
1.) Deathstroke – 96 Points, 16 Appearances
2.) Black Adam – 93 Points, 23 Appearances
3.) Black Manta – 80 Points, 15 Appearances
4.) Ghost Maker – 70 Points, 14 Appearances
5.) The Penguin – 55 Points, 20 Appearances
6.) Talia Al Ghul – 54 Points, 15 Appearances
7.) Poison Ivy – 44 Points, 12 Appearances
8.) Peacemaker – 39 Points, 11 Appearances
9.) KGBeast – 36 Points, 9 Appearances
10.) Solomon Grundy – 36 Points, 11 Appearances
Commentary: Deathstroke dethrones Black Adam as King, Mirror Master and Lex Luthor removed by KGBeast and Solomon Grundy. While the Suicide Squad Antagonist dominated the front half of the year, then I predict the Task Force Z squad will next.
