Comic book characters great for the WWE Royal Rumble
By Mark Lynch
No. 15-11
Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)
Carol Danvers is one of the more underrated powerhouses in comics. Her super strength and ability to absorb energy gives her an advantage that many heroes and villains wish they had. While she has all of this power, she has tunnel vision. She gets eliminated by Multiple Man after they jump her for paying attention to the wrong Madrox.
Eliminated by: Multiple Man
Multiple Man
Madrox has a ton of experience and was trained by a Buddhist monk. Plus, before one of his dupes is eliminated, he can just absorb them. Madrox eliminates a couple of people before Wonder Woman hits him so hard all his dupes are knocked out. She then highhandedly picks every Madrox and throws them out of the ring.
Eliminated by: Wonder Woman
Taskmaster
Taskmaster would buy the WWE Network (for only $9.99!) and spend the week leading up watching every Royal Rumble from beginning to end. Finding out what skills he needs to win it all. But when he takes his first swing he’ll realize he pulled his punch. He spent the week learning how to not hurt someone. Taskmaster sees the error of his ways and eliminates himself.
Eliminates himself
Flash
Flash doesn’t eliminate anyone and doesn’t even bother trying to. Why should he have to? He can just dodge every attempt at eliminating him. Batman figures out his pattern and trips Flash right out the ring. This ends up being the funniest elimination of the night. There’s always one.
Eliminated by: Batman
Domino
I’ve wondered how her luck powers would work in this match. I don’t think her powers stop her from being eliminated completely, but she does have a few close calls. When she does get eliminated, she’ll get tons of endorsements.
Eliminated by: Black Canary
