Here we go. It’s time to get this Ultimate Bad Guy competition started. We’ve had a few weeks now of nominations and narrowing down contestants to a final, select group of 32 of the most ruthless, evil guys out there.
Each of the first four days this week will feature the opening games for each of our brackets. You can view the entire tournament layout right here. We also have a central page for this contest, so you can quickly find links to our voting posts.
Without further blabbing, let’s get to today’s battles.
#1 Darth Vader versus #8 John Doe
One of the most evil villains of all time in Darth Vader squares off in an interesting match up with the serial killer from the movie Se7en. The matchup seems almost unfair, but the cunning of a maticulous murderer can never be counted out.

#3 Q versus #6 HAL 9000
An even more peculiar matchup. Q from the Continuum in Star Trek: The Next Generation versus the computer core from the spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey. I’m not sure how Q can lose this fight, but perhaps HAL’s calming, evil voice could persuade Q into doing something stupid?

#2 The Alien versus #7 Sylar
The Alien from the movie of the same name, against the evil superhero from the TV series Heroes. On first glance, the seedings of these two may look wrong, but no one was about to disrespect The Alien and put him any lower than #2. Sylar is full of evil powers, but The Alien has proved himself to be a cunning warrior.

#4 Predator versus #5 Khan
We’ve got a fourth wacky matchup to get this thing started. The Predator versus Khan from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. While a great bad guy in one of the best Trek movies ever was strong and intelligent, his opponent, The Predator, is equally as fierce.

Good luck combatants! May the worst man (creature) win!
I dunno about anyone else, but I'm most looking forward to Jason match-up stories!! =) How's that for pressure? Winners this bracket are : Vader, Sylar, Q, Predator
Okay, those were messed up matchups!
And yes, at the moment I am the sole voter for Khan. But come ON people! First he'll wrap the Predator in fine, Corinthian leather, and then he'll figure out the most Fantastic way of killing him!
Yeah, I really struggled to get some decent matchups, but it was hard.
I do have a “Slasher” bracket though, with all the good horror slasher guys, like Jigsaw, Norman Bates, Jason, Freddy, etc.
He'll probably only do them for the single matchup rounds later on.
what about the pokemon meowth! or maybe 'Gojilla' @_@

Yes, unfortunately, as much as I would like to give you blow by blow analysis of all the action, my time restraints caused by “the man” trying to “keep me down” will prohibit me from replaying the lower rounds. Don't worry, though, I'm sure the advanced rounds will have some exciting match-ups for us.
…. man its like the wind just got knocked out of me….
You missed the nominations, or maybe!
It's not “the man” keeping you down so much as the growing mounts of used diapers and tiny useless baby clothes which are now too small. I live for the blow by blow commentaries as well. =D
Hmm, I thought we'd get a bit more votes this time around, but I guess it's still early in the competition.
