Bullseye Defeated. I'll go get some rest now. :D"

That was my big hoorah. :) Was fun, but I won't try for that quick of a villain attack again. I blew ALL my cooldowns on Bullseye. LOL

Rinn, I don't know if you like SciFi (steamy) Romance, but Quicksilver Dreams was a fun read. There are assassination attempts on the main, so counts for Target Maker.

Can I use The Martian for Punisher/Battle Van? (Watney drives a rover across Mars)"

Oh, sorry that I didn't see it before! I'm fine with a Mars Rover.

I think that comes probably to late, as you've used Tracer for Groot now, but it would have worked for Mister Fantastic as well.

No problem, thanks ;)

Punisher/Battle Van/The Martian/2 of 3

[Mpauli, Bitten by a radioactive book]

This week was another win for Team Marvel, which puts them exactly 100 points ahead of Team DC.
For DC Hana and Tome defeated Gorilla Grodd.
For Team Marvel Sara defeated Grodd as well, while John recruited Dr. Strange and Lel recruited Deadpool. On top of that Shawnie managed not only to recruit Mr. Fantastic, she also got the achievement for being the first player to defeat Bullseye!
It was pretty silent on the Energy Cell front, where only Team Mrvel added one cell to their count.

Thanks, I meant to say ignore that, as I worked out it would be easier to find another book with a b&w cover than a guard in!

And Shawnie - thanks for the recs! Not sure about that, will just have to see. I might have to step away from defeating the villain this month though, I don't think my budget can stretch to any new books...

Yes, that sounds plausible to me. :)

This week saw a marginal victory for Team DC with Bullseye defeats by Nara and Roger.
For Team Marvel Soila recruited Mr. Fantastic, Christina recruited Punisher and Rinn recruited Deadpool.
Team DC added one Energy Cell to their pool, Team Marvel added 2. Both team have less than 10 cells to go now, so the first portals should be opening soon.

Question about the "famous celebrity," does that mean someone in the book world being famous, i.e. Harry Potter being famous in his world?

[Mpauli, Bitten by a radioactive book]

Roger wrote: "Question about the "famous celebrity," does that mean someone in the book world being famous, i.e. Harry Potter being famous in his world?"

Yes, if the person is famous inside the setting of the book, it counts.
