Heroes vs Villains Challenge (Offical Thread)

[Lu, Rarity Fan]

This is the Official Thread for The Heroes vs Villains Challenge!

Here you post your Challenge Planning with what you think you are going to read etc. You can edit your post every time your finish something or when you want to add a new idea. No need to re-post your whole list.

You can however just make a post when you are done with a challenge (I actually prefer this):

"I just finished nr 1"

We can then add your points at The Points Thread .

We also have a Suggestions Thread where you can have a look if you need an idea for which Comic books/Graphic novels/Manga/Novelization/Webcomics (from now on called CGMNW) to read, or where you can ask people for help with ideas.

This Starts on the not sure yet, depending on when nominations are done. You can jump in anytime and use the CGMNW you have read from the starting date. I know everyone will be honest :)

A Comic books/Graphic novels/Manga only counts once and lets keep it to volumes please! So a volume of comics (normally has around 3 in it), a volume of Manga and Graphic Novels/Novelizations should be perfect as they are, or an entire Webcomic!

Now the fun part! You get to choose if you want to be a Hero or a Villain! So Individual points will be given but also Team points so we can see which Team is winning. So when you join, don't just choose the Team with the most points, choose the team you really want to help win!

The challenges will have duel purpose tasks. Something like "Read a CGMNW that has a hero/villain with red hair". So you just read hero or villain depending on your team.

ALSO there will be a bonus task where you say which villain/hero is your favorite and you then read a CGMNW with him/her in it.

Example of what you need to post:

I choose Team -
My task planning -
My fav hero/villain is -

We will also have a challenge tracker on the main page of the group.

Let the games begin!

[Lu, Rarity Fan]

I also just want to clarify, I know a lots of Manga might not have villain in a lair with a mask on, the bad guy or bully will work just fine :)

[Lu, Rarity Fan]

There will also be Ranks that you can achieve:

Heroes:

5. Side-Kick
4. Knight
3. Hero
2. Superhero
1. Savior of the Universe

Villains:

5. Minion
4. Mad scientist
3. Supervillain
2. Evil Genius
1. Ultimate Evil Mastermind

When you finish your first 5 tasks you will get rank 5 and the next 5 you will receive rank 4 etc.

Rank 1 will be obtained when you finish all the tasks + the bonus task
