I'm starting a new thread to gather entries. For this tournament, you can choose movie characters. Superheroes are an obvious choice because of their power sets but you can choose other characters. I am limiting the power level to around Man Of Steel Superman and Avengers Hulk - no Dr Manhattan.

Any character you choose will have their powers in their preferred setting. Eg Neo in the Matrix, Green Lantern with a fully charged ring etc. They only have their movie version powers though.

Additionally, choose an arena to fight in. The Shark from Jaws would prefer the ocean, for example. I will then randomly select an arena from the list for each fight.

So far we have:
Priziesthorse @West Coast > East Coast with Chucky in a house (this was before the category announcement, so you may want to repick)
ThatOneDude @ThatOneDude with Hulkbuster Ironman in Gotham
MarkR @MarkR with Thor in Jotunheim
Simpleman @Simpleman with Godzilla
Zeph @Zeph with Agent Smith at Godavari River
Crooklyn @Crooklyn with Vision in LA
CavemanBJJ @CavemanBJJ with Shazam
La Paix @BirdWatcher with Antman
sparkuri @sparkuri with The Sphinx
RedDragonUK @GrandDragonUK with Magneto in Autostadt
El_Varaco @El_Varaco with Hancock
otaku1 @otaku1 with Tyler Durden
Stickgrappler @Stickgrappler with Tang Lung
Pitbull9 @Pitbull3744 with Predator in the jungle
@blank with Snakes on a plane
They still have to pick their arenas though.

Also had interest from gangsterkathryn @gangsterkathryn, Hired Gun @Hired Gun and kneeblock @Kneeblock so come on and choose a character and a backdrop.

I will take The Sphinx from Mystery Men.

If you want to destroy me, you must first destroy yourself.

The Phoenix is a as powerful as Doctor Manhatten(or more so). If he isn't allowed then The Phoenix shouldn't be.
I thought that but Movie Phoenix was not as powerful as her comic counterpart. Wolverine killed her with a claw in the guts.

I don't think I'll allow TV characters, especially one with an evolving powerset. It's too difficult to determine.

even for cancelled shows? I don't think Sylar is in Heroes Reborn, which would effectively cement his powerset.

I didn't watch heroes, so I googled his powerset and found it hard to follow. He could copy powers by killing people, then he learned to do it by empathy (how quickly? What proximity? etc), then he lost some powers because of a virus, then he got some more etc.

yup more or less.

the empathy thing, I'm not familiar with since I only caught the earlier seasons, I'm guessing proximity is within 3-4 meters and apparently (based on my googling) all it takes is for Sylar to say "I feel ya bro" and boom he's got your powers..

ok he's a bad choice.

No, this is a slippery slope. Movie Phoenix obliterates all with a fleeting thought.
Professor X- POOF!
Cyclops- POOF!
Jean Gray allowed herself the power over the Phoenix, and told Wolverine to kill her, transmuting her body into solely human form for the suicide.
If Phoenix is allowed, then so is Manhattan, and the flood gates open.

She is FAR too powerful, it's a wash...

OK, fair enough.

Crooklyn @Crooklyn, you'll have to rechoose. Maybe we'll do an uber powered GP at some point, with Reeves Superman vs Dr Manhattan vs Phoenix vs Genie
