Super Bowl: Fan voted comic book players, coaches, and owners
By Mark Lynch
Super Bowl Halftime Show
Comic book characters: Jubilee, Doctor Strange, Doctor Fate, Human Torch
Winner: Doctor Strange with 47%
Considering how much people love Jubilee combined with her fireworks, this writer thought she’d win (getting 21%). Doctor Fate could create an entire band of himself, but he’s not very popular to mainstream audiences (that explains only getting 5% vote). Johnny Storm could entertain with personality and dazzle the crowd with his pyrokinesis. Which is why he came in second with 25%. With all of that being said, Doctor Strange can do all of that and more.
One of the most creative moments in the MCU came in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness when he battled a version of himself using music. That scene happened during an emotionally driven fight with lives on the line. Imagine what he’d do with time to plan and no threat of death. Stephen Strange also loves showing how amazing he is. He’d love the idea of performing at the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl Cheerleaders
Comic book characters: The Suicide Squad, Teen Titans Go, The Guardians of the Galaxy, The Seven
Winner: Guardians of the Galaxy with 59%
When this writer put these comic book teams together, he expected this to be one sided. However, he thought it would be better than this. The Seven was put on here as a joke and them getting no votes is hilarious. Although, A-Train would love to be involved. Teen Titans Go! (24%) didn’t get as many votes as anticipated. Their goofiness should have gone over more and they’d have great cheers lined up. The Suicide Squad (17%) definitely did better than anyone would have thought. They’re a mess.
The Guardians of the Galaxy winning isn’t shocking. They’re beloved by everyone who watches comic book movies. Their cheers would be all over the place. Drax wouldn’t understand the point of it, Nebula, Rocket, and Gamora would refuse to help, and Star-Lord would be stuck doing things on his own. All that being said, it would also be unforgettable. Hopefully Rocket doesn’t start building a weapon when someone calls him a raccoon.
