This week I'm doing points a bit earlier to be able to do it in one go with revealing our new villain for April.

In terms of points, the week has been slow so far and almost all the points scored go to Team Marvel with Lel taking the majority by recruiting Invisible Woman.
Team DC managed to acquire the only energy cell of the week.

For April Kang, the Conqueror was revealed to be the villain of the month. As daylight saving time approaches, we're all getting one hour stolen from us, so a time-traveling villain seemed appropriate. Although White Rabbit was a close second. :P

Thanks! I misread Rinn's post in that she was just asking if The Doctor was considered a scholar (which I really hope he is) not actually recording anything. I am itching to start my books for next month so I got a little over excited!

Aquaman 2 Trident- Read a book with a trident or spear on the cover, or where the main character uses a trident or a spear. The Daylight War Many of the characters, including two of the major ones, use spears throughout. The climactic fight at the end is over a spear, in part. 2/3 for Aquaman.
