Mod
For them Christina and Nara defeated Mystique, while Kate recruited Blade and Shawnie added Ms. Marvel to her roster.
For Team DC it was a recruitment week with Melanie adding Atom and Lel's recruitment of Batgirl. Veronica also took the finla available DC recruitment achievement for recruiting Lobo. All DC characters have been at least recruited once now.
DC also won the Portal Hero race this week with 4:1 and their 20 out of 30 remind me that someone needs to add some portal heroes soon.^^
But before we get to that, hopefully next week, let's introduce our villain of the month for March. We're all holding out for spring and who would be a better villain to start of spring than Poison Ivy?
As always, her challenges can be found on the villains post at the beginning, in the seperated villain/portal hero thread or right here, down below. Enjoy!
Poison Ivy
Active from 01/03/2016 - 31/03/2016
1. Queen of Plants
Read a book with plants on the cover (trees, flowers, grass) or which has living/animated plants in it.
2. Toxic Plans
Read a book with "poison" or "toxic" in the title or where one of the characters is poisoned/is harmed by radiation.
3. In Love with Harley Quinn
Read a book with a clown/jester/fool on the cover or where one of the characters is in an LGBTQ+ relationship.

I think the score for DC should be 214 not 114.
Oops...you're right! It has been rectified with this week's points. Thanks for the heads-up! :)
DC/I Am Legend/Blue Beetle/1 of 3/I'm blueRead a book with a predominantly blue cover or where a character gets wasted with alcohol.
So can I still join in on the fun? ( marvel side ). And if so can I use any of the books I have read in 2016 to start knocking them out?
