The Smark Avengers - Vol 3, Ep 51: The Smark Avengers Auction the Justice League

Episode Date: February 14, 2025

The wheel is back and this time with a DC Comics flair! The catch is that the wheel has 30 names on it and will only be spun 20 times and they can only bid on whoever the wheel lands on. Who will land on Batman?! Will Jon and Dylan know who anyone is?! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they spin the wheel and build their own Justice League.

Oh, he wrote that song about somebody else, and then whenever Princess Dye died, he used it again, and now everybody thinks that's what it was for. But it was about Marlon and Monroe originally. Yeah, it was about somebody, like, he wrote that song like 10 years before that and nobody listened to it. And then somebody else died, they all just do it again. I thought it's kind of a scumbag if you think about it then. Out of the people we've just talked about, do you think he's a skimbaug like? Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Spark Avengers.

My name is Corey. and we're talking about how Elton John's a scumbag, apparently. How much of that will be keeping in? A good bit. It's a mystery. Yeah, that's true. If you listen to this show and it starts off with Corey saying, hello, welcome to Smart Avengers.

You missed like half an hour. We cut out a bit. Yeah. Yeah, no, well, the last time we did one of these, it went on for a very long time. So, you know. No. Everybody, welcome, Smart Avengers.

This is Corey Dillon and John, and we're going back to, I think, one of our favorite things to do on the show. And that is we're going to have an auction. Our last auction, I think, was in December. And we ended up doing Spider-Man villains to make our own Sinister Six or what have you. It was a bit of a chaotic one, if you want to listen to that one. It was fine. The way I recall it, everything went off without a hitch. Yeah.

Nobody, you know, sabotaged somebody else's. deal. Why would any of us do that to each other? We're all friends here. Exactly. Everyone got who they wanted to pick. Technically, yes, everybody got who they wanted to pick. The circumstances were just the circumstances.

Some people just have to really pay through the fucking nose for it. And other people didn't respect some people's deals that they made. But that's fine. It's fine. All right. So in line with that, we're going to be doing another auction. and we're bringing back the wheel of names so that, you know, it's going to be,

the order is going to be completely random. And this time, if you're watching on YouTube, you're going to actually get to see the wheel spin. I will tell you right now, I'm going to turn the sound off on the wheel because it was getting really, it's a real mess to have to hear the clicking and then us talking at the same time.

You coward. Yeah. Yeah, the fake cheers on top of us talking. We're also a little rough. Fake. Yeah. That's the audience, isn't it? Yeah.

Yeah, the audience. Like, right over in front of the camera. You know? So this is what's going to make this auction a little different than the previous ones. We've auctioned X-Men. We've auctioned supernatural characters. We've auctioned Spider-Man villains.

We're going to be doing an auction that's going to be more geared towards me, unless John and Dylan so much. We're going to be auctioning and drafting, creating our own Justice League team. Dylan, John, what is your familiarity with the Justice League? Oh, Batman and Wonder Woman. And Superman. Did you, did any of you guys watch the, there you go? Any of you guys watch the Zach Snyder slash Joss Whedon movie?

Unfortunately, yes. I won free tickets to see that movie. So I had the satisfaction of walking out going, at least I didn't pay for this. I mean, the Snyder version was on Netflix as well. Oh, that was on Max. Oh, I'm pretty sure we got it. Was it on Netflix? Or maybe it was on now TV over here?

Either way. Like, I didn't go to the cinema and pay money to watch it. All five and a half hours of it. Oh, God. It was so long. Yes. So. It's so good, though.

No. No. There was also in the 90s and 2000s, there was a Justice League cartoon that was in the Bruce Timverse, so taking place in the same universe of the Batman the Animate series. So some cross-promotional of the stuff there with Kevin Conroy. But what is your familiarity with the Justice League as comic book characters? Have you ever read a Justice League book? No. I know Dylan, I know you're a big Grant Morrison person. I've been. would recommend taking a peek at Graham Morrison's Justice League because he was gifted the iconic characters but he put his own like twists and spins on them as Grant often does. Justice League. Yeah. He had a long run

on Justice League. Here's a fun thing that I'll do on the camera right now. We were talking about Graham Morrison not that long ago. Yes. I hadn't actually read like a whole lot of other Grahamar's stuff other than the X-Men. The other day I was in Waterstone's bookshop.

And they had All-Star Superman for sale. Oh, there you go. And I bought that. You can see, it's very small, very compact. But I saw I read it. And it's actually, get this, really good. So I was looking at the back to see if they, because at the back they advertise other comics.

And like maybe the, maybe that Justice League ones in here. It is not. But Superman and the authority is in here. So. Yeah. That's something to look forward to. Superman, the authority.

That's a more recent book. I don't know. Well, why isn't the Justice League in there? I don't know. Rude. A little bit. So, we're going to handle it the same way we did last time. There are 30 character names on our wheel.

We're only going to spin the wheel 20 times. So there's going to be some characters that may or may not make the cut. Some of them very iconic characters. Some of them characters that even I don't know a ton about just because I thought, well, technically they were a member of the Justice League. Now, mind you, I am focusing. on the actual Justice League. I'm not doing Justice League International.

I'm not doing Justice League Task Force or Justice League Europe or Justice League Dark. Mainly underwater Justice League. Justice League in space. I was going to be space by left alone. Justice League Odyssey was a book that did

take place in space. So technically there was Justice League space. I should have thought about that because I could have about Azrael on the list. I don't think about these things. No. So the rules of this are simple. Everybody has 100 pounds to their name.

We go pounds, not dollars, because John and Dylan outnumber me, and we use their currency system. Plus, the way our economy is going in America, you're probably going to have more value than mine. Hey, just don't ask how our economy is going, and we'll just continue. Yeah, fair enough. Fair enough. So, yeah, that's kind of the rules of the game.

We start the bidding at what we start. we go until someone pays more than everybody else is willing to do. It's an auction. It's not that complicated. We'll make it complicated. I'm sure we will. All right. So, let's get to the wheel real fast.

Yay. Everybody's favorite part. It's been in a wheel. So you guys see the wheel. Yeah. We can see the wheel. There's a lot of names on here. What I'm going to do is there's a shuffle button. Dylan, how many times am I going to click the shuffle button to change the order?

28 28 1 2 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 15 16 17 18 19 21 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 28 times thank you Dylan perfect so let's go ahead and spin our wheel I hope it's batman he's on here giving up batman Oh, oh. All right. Our very first person on the list is Catwoman. Catwoman was a member of the Justice League in the new 52 era. So we should be back on looking at the three of us on Skype.

And real quick, we look at two of us, really. Yeah. I'm sorry, you know, I'm not having nothing to look at. So under the costume alias of Catwoman, Selina Kyle is a. cat burglar with an on again, off again, romantic relationship with Batman. She has shown as a woman who is very strong-willed, independent, and morally dubious. She has appeared in 3,601 issues of the comics, and she first debuted in, what issue did she debut in? Batman, number one, the legend of the Batman, who he is and how he came to be semicolon, the Joker.

It's quite a mouthful. A little bit. It was a bit of an anthology book, and it came out in 1940. So she's been around for a while. So things to know about Catwoman. She is, of course, a master thief. She is an escape artist. Her costume is aligned with claws. Just generally a fun character.

Her Marvel equivalent for you, of course, is Black Cat. But I shouldn't have to tell you about Catwoman because she's kind of an iconic character. She's a cat. And a woman. So. Dream scenario for anybody, isn't I? Does anyone want to take the big catwoman for one pound? Yeah.

I'll go two pound. Oh, John, do you want to do three? Yes, I'll do three pound. Well, I will do 3.1. You know that's not how we work. All right. Well, then I guess I'll have to do four. Uh, I can do five.

I'll do eight. Okay. I'll do nine. Okay. I'll do ten. Ten once? Hang away, wait. Can me and John get into a big fight already?

I don't know how excited you to fight about this. Over fucking Catwoman? I wouldn't want to fight over something way more obscure than Catwoman. Oh, there are some obscure ones on here. You just got to wait and see if the wheel picks it. What's that ten? Yes. Did I hear you say 50?

I don't think you heard that. I don't think that's not... I could have sworn I heard. Do you say 50? There's definitely something wrong with your microphone, did you? You're picking up, like, radio signals from aliens or something. I didn't... I think I'm going to...

Ten once? Corey, you seem like you've dropped out. I did drop out. Ten twice. All right, John. Get her for ten. Woo-hoo. All right, so...

Oh, go ahead. I was sold on the morally dubious description of that's the kind of character I want in my Justice League team Right, the Justice League I want the character who might venture a little less than the sinner of justice Yeah, the one is no justice in her head, that's the one Yeah, there you go conflict also she like catches mice Yeah, mm-hmm keeps the uh keeps the Hall of Justice free of pests So another thing, we will also be keeping track of who has what and what our current balances are.

John, are you doing both or one or the other? Yeah, I'm doing both. Okay. I guess I'll just drop pictures, son. All right, fair enough. Who do you want me to draw a picture? Who do you want to see me draw a picture of somebody fucking somebody else? All right, let's head back to the wheel.

I'm going to just end up drawn like Nospratu penis again there we go what the people want all right here's our second spin of the wheel and we are going to land on Vixen that signs kind of like catwoman

you would be surprised Vixen is a little different it's a dude and it's a car Vixen Mary McCabe is a successful fashion icon talk show host animal activist and superhero

who is able to channel the power of any animal that has walked or evolved on earth through the mystical object given to her by her ancestor the god an Anansi called the Tantu Totum she has been around for 915 issues and she first appeared in cancelled Comet Cavalcade number two. That's not a good sign.

Which came out in 1978. So yes, she has the ability to basically have the abilities of any animal that she chooses. So she can like have agility like a cat. She can have a sort of a, she can produce claws, she can change color, you know, basically, is there, well,

is there an equivalent to that in the Marvel world? Craven a little bit has, like, sort of, well, I guess it's more, like, heightened, like, kind of animalistic style. Yeah, I don't think there's anybody that can replicate. Oh, wasn't there somebody on, um, Alpha Flight that could turn into animals?

Who was it Aurora? Who was the woman on Alpha Flight that could turn into like different animals? I don't know if she could turn into every animal. And also I don't know if this character exists. I might have this male. Vixen, yeah. To Vixen, she's got to look to her. I think she's been in Smallville maybe.

I want to say she's been in a television show. Yeah, I think she may have popped up in Arrow or one of those shows. A CW show for sure. definitely CW sure sure they love putting vixins in their shows there you go so we anyone want to take her for one pound absolutely

okay I'll go two well I'll take advantage of John looking up whatever that Aurora lady was I was talking about from Alpha Flight to put in a bit of three I'll go four

why Corey you don't even know on the barter right yeah I also don't know nothing about her which is why I'm intrigued I would love to know so much more can she turn into a dinosaur I don't know

I'd ask her well she can't turn into dinosaur she can replicate the abilities of a dinosaur perfect that's exactly what I need her for so in that case what was your bid I think four I'll have to go five then

because statistically that's the next number above it I'd go six Why? Let me just have a Well I don't even know what she looks like Does she look as nice as Catwoman? Yes, she does Very revealing outfits at times

Because we know, let's be honest That's why John pick out woman Ladies man over here It's got to get to see I'm surprised John's not bidding He's busy Looking up pictures of Aurora I mean I'm trying to find it

I can't see anything about her turning into different animals. Okay, maybe a roared to something else. All right, Dylan, I'm going to send you a picture of her on WhatsApp. Okay. You think this is going to sweeten the deal? Well, I mean, you said you just wanted to know what she looked like. I mean, you're bidding on her, so.

You're also bidding on her. I am, but I know what she looks like already. All right, let me have a look. Wow, that's a nice looking lion. Yep. Okay, well, it's a bit of her. I think we're at five. I'll go six.

Okay. Six once. Twice. John doesn't feel like he needs to have two sultry women on it. John's busy. Stop. Don't let me have this. This will be three. So that's three. Dylan, you have Vixen. Yes. For six. For six.

Yes. Vinson, baby. All right. We're going to spin. our wheel for the third time. I'm going to make her do all sorts of dinosaur things. It's going to be amazing. Should be able to fly because some animals can fly? So many

things. Oh, yes. Fucking amen. Vibe. Vibe. Yes. Corey got way too excited about vibe. Put that on the record. Vibe is

vibe is fun. Now, vibe did show up in the Flash TV show, so John would probably know Vibe from that. Oh, yeah. Yes. I will tell you, yes, I will tell you, Vibe got treated way nicer in the Flash show than he did in the comics. Vibe was a member of the Detroit City gang called the Lobos. When the Justice League moved to Detroit, he became a member. His new 52 incarnation is selected for the JLA because of his unique vibration and potential interdimensional abilities. vibe has appeared in 222 issues and he was debuting in I believe DC sampler number two

which they covered with which was 1984 vibe has basically the ability to vibrate take that with what you will but yes he's able to he has vibration waves he's stealth he has a blast power and vibe very famously died in issue number 258 of Justice League when he was fighting a villain called Dr. Ivo was revealed that Dr. Wadnick. Yep, Dr. Ivo was revealed to you actually have been an Android version of him. His hands detached and strangled vibe to death. That does sound quite like what Dr. Wadnick would do. Mm-hmm. So do we have any bids for vibe? I'm going to be totally honest for you, dude.

Yeah. Me and John don't know who this guy is. I do. Well, John knows. Okay. In my honest opinion, I don't think you've sold them on us at all. Well, you say that, but Catwoman is very keen to have vibe on her team. I can't imagine.

What? Why would that be? She just digs his style, that's all. I don't think she even knows she even exists. I think what you're thinking about is she's trying to like break into the bank and then he uses his vibration parts to like shake the walls and like knock the wall down and then she climbs into the wall into the bank that way. That's what you mean, right, John?

So what are you talking about? Yeah, yeah. He's vibrating some walls, that's for sure. Thank you, Corey. This guy gets it. He knows what I'm talking about. Apparently I do. Yeah.

We're simply talking about vibrating walls, guys. Yeah. So we're going to start the bidding at one pound for vibe. Yes, sir. Well, then if John wants it and I want him. I'm going to two. Three, baby. Dylan ran away.

Dylan. John raised it to three. Why is Corey not interested in vibe? Isn't that suspicious that Corey doesn't want vibe to come in? What's going on? I was the most excited when he came up on the wheel as well. You were so excited. Because I told you I have some weird characters on here and I was just happy to put vibe on there.

We want to see why you like vibes so much. Corey, is he vibrating your walls? What's going on here? Sure. I'm vibrating right now. That's inappropriate. You shouldn't do that when we're recording a show. What's the number out?

We're at three with John. I mean, I don't want him, but I do want to annoy John. This is all the biggest. I don't know him. I don't want him. It was annoying me more if John stuck him with me, so no, you can have him. All right. So, John, you're going to take vibe for three.

That'll do, pig. That'll do. Ugh. Jesus Christ. Tillons ran off again. All right. We'll let's spin without him. All right, Dylan, we're spinning.

What's to do? Balance of plates, you know. All right. Our fourth pick is green arrow, Oliver Queen. I put his name in parentheses because there have been, there is another green arrow, which says his son Connor. So, yes. Green Arrow, if, you know, we know vibe from the CW show.

Of course, you should know Green Arrow from the show Arrow, which is a green arrow show that has nothing to do with green arrow it is mainly about Batman wow most shows are about Batman Oliver Queen was a spoiled thrill-seeking playboy until he was left stranded on a deserted island for several years a super skilled bowman once a billionaire now a defender of the poor and underprivileged would anyone like to start us off at one pound yes please I'll go two I'll go in for that Is it three for you, Della?

I assume that's the right number. I'll go four. Five. I'll go seven. You guys are getting pretty excited about this arrow character. I go ten. Does he have any vibration powers, though? Does he have big titty?

I don't think so. Probably have some vibration arrows. Yeah, too. I'll do 12. I go 14. I'll go 16 This is way bigger than you're trying to get vibe

Yeah Really want this arrow guy Yeah I'm tapping out What would What would Catwoman do with an arrow? She doesn't need anything She's got vibe

Exactly Doesn't need green arrow All right So I'll take I'll take green arrow for 16 then That's the highest one so far John's one two And 16 is still the highest one so far

there you go all right let's spinner again it's purely because nobody wanted vibe there's a lot of really big names on this obviously we've not hit one yet i say that and friend of the show we were all about to get into a very big bidding more For end of the show, it is the Flash Barry Allen. Again, John probably knows him best because of the C.W. show. However, all of us know about the Flash because very famously, our first ever try to kill a character was trying to kill the Flash, where we spent about an hour and a half talking nothing but all of his weird bullshit powers.

So... In like 20 minutes, like 10 minutes talking about how we kill him. I think we're all burnt out at that point. Just hit him on. Barry Allen, having discovered his mother murdered and his father blamed for the act. Forensic scientist Barry Allen sought to clear his father's name and find the real killer. After being doused in chemicals and struck by lightning, Barry was granted the gift of super speed. Now he protects his hometown of Central City as the Flash, the fastest man alive, and founding member of the Justice League.

Barry Allen first appeared in the 100 comic monthly number three. Notice none of these so far have just been Batman. number two or something. This came out. Crinkle dinkle number 48. Like, what the fuck comic is this? This is from 1956. And Barry Allen has appeared in 5,268 comics.

E. That's the moose so far, right? I think so. Way, twice as many as vibe. That's a lot more twice as many. I think vibe was under, it was like 222. Yeah, five is like seven. All right. Before we get into it.

Okay. He, his mother died, his father got framed for it. And he's like, I got to solve this mystery. And then he got zapped by chemicals and lightning. Did he solve the mystery? Yes, he did. It was revealed that the real murder of his mother was Eobard Thon, aka the reverse flash.

I told you, John. I told you that's who it was. Yeah. Went back in time as a basically to ruin Barry Allen's life. We would, I mean, I would do that. And I'm sure we all saw the movie. movie Flashpoint with the great non-controversial actor as Re Miller. I did indeed see that.

Oh my God. I'm so sorry. I mean, Michael Keaton was fun as Batman again. I feel like that's all the advertising needed to show. Michael Keaton was fun as Batman in the two Batman films he was in. Yes, this is true. All right. Let's start a bidding.

Does anyone want to take Barry Allen at one pound? I'll take him for one. I'll go two. go three. I will go two. Can I do that? You can try to drive it back down? Like, hey, guys, hold on.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Is he really worth three? Yeah, let's establish the rules here. Well, he can run. He's got speed force. He can run fast and he can solve the mystery of his who killed his mother. That's going to be pretty useful for me because that comes up a lot in my Justice League. Who killed the Flash's mother?

He's like, I know this one. So what, wait, what's the number? I'm going to say five. I forgot what the number was. Okay, Dylan's at five. I'll go six. Seven. I love her reluctant John is sometimes.

She's like, oh, God, I have to do this. That's the show, dude. I'll go eight. Nine. I will say the Flash is, Barry Allen is the only flash on the wheel. Okay, real quickly, what can he do that the other flashes

can't do? Oh God, don't get into this again. Can he read people's minds? No, he can't read people's minds. But he can run fast. Yeah. He's not the fast... I will tell you this, he's not the fastest flash. That's Wally West.

But he's not on the list of fuck him. Yeah. So you're getting the second fastest flash. But we're getting the fastest person on this wheel. yes well yeah no i think he and superman are a tie so tied by superman yeah why i just keep all my money for superman then that's why aren't you ahead in the bidding i'm no i think i am i bid nine i'm like i'm way behind um no 10 uh sorry so like oh it's just so funny to hear sean just like Yeah, aggravated by it.

Oh, God. Why would you just give me the things I want for little money? That's how this works, isn't it? We're all waiting for Batman, essentially what it sounds like. All right. Dylan, you want to go any higher than 11? No. I don't really either.

John, you're going to get the Flash. Barry Allen for 11. So right now, John, you have Vibe, Flash, and Catwoman. Yes. The dream team. they're all about doing things fast and vibrating because Barry Allen can also vibrate. Exactly. That's why Catwoman doing this on the team.

She's supposed to do a lot of things fast with those two on her team. Like what? Like a bank heist? Yeah. Yep, sure thing. The way you said that doesn't make me feel like that's what you meant at all. All right. We're going to spin our wheel again.

We're five down. We've got, we're five down. down. Oh, yes. Corey, our team's looking really good. Oh, boy, here we go. Speak of Grant Morrison and they will arrive. It is Aztec, the ultimate man.

Oh, the ultimate man. The ultimate man. That's got to be good. That's got to be good. He's the best. He's the ultimate man. The ultimate man. Yes, the ultimate man.

I actually read the entirety of the Aztec series because I was so just amazed by this character's existence. Okay. And let me pull him up real fast. There he is. Aztec was raised by the Q Foundation as the avatar of the snake god Quetzel Quodal. He was meant to battle a great darkness. This character was around for 62 issues.

And first it appeared in Aztec, the Ultimate Man Number One, a town called Vanity, which was released in 1996. Aztec as a series only ran for a couple issues, ended up getting canceled, and that's when Grant Morrison brought the character over to the Justice League comic. So Aztec, these are all of Aztec's powers, and that's why I wanted to bring them up.

Aztec is adaptive, agility, blast power, density control, dimensional manipulation, flight, superpower intellect, invisibility. He has powerful gadgets, a powerful suit, super sight, super speed, super strength, and an expert in unarmed combat. He is a hero for the new millennium, Aztec, the ultimate man. Okay, I feel like that guy's got a lot of powers I could really use on my team. Yes. Given that my team consists of a woman that can turn into, well, not turn into, a woman has replicate the powers of animals.

They can replicate the paris of other animals. And then this guy does everything else. So I feel like if I get him, I'm pretty like... You're doing okay. Yeah. But then also, Corey, you seem very excited about him? I have read the entire Aztec series. More excited than about vibes.

You were faking the vibe stuff. I think all 10 issues of the Aztec series didn't last very long. But 10s? That's not a bad run. than we've had. Yeah, true. It's more than our baby juggernaut comic has had. We haven't written it yet.

It's coming. Oh, it's coming. Yeah. And it's going to be bad. All right. So, we're going to start the bidding at one pound for Aztec. I will take that. Well, I'm going to double that.

Whoa. Yeah. Okay, I'll go three. I'll go four. I'm going to double that. By double that, I mean, go to five. I'm going to point one five it. I'm going to multiply by some number that isn't the full number.

There you go. I'll go six for Aztec. I go seven. You sold me on some of his powers. Yeah. I don't know if you sold me that much, though. Just for the record, John, you're on like 20, I think you've got 24 dying already. Uh, yeah, sounds about right.

Whereas me and Corey both of six down. No, Corey's got 16 down. Yeah. Well, I put it incorrectly. 16 down. So I've got money to spend. Mm-hmm. You do.

I'm one nice, smartly pissed all my money away on this guy instead of Batman. Yes, I would. Yeah. Yes, I would. What's the number up? Eight. I'll go nine. Ten.

you thought of it for a long time though I saw in your eyes I saw it you were like well should I my wife's gonna be really irritated if I come back home and I've spent on my money on this stuff on Aztec the ultimate man what did you buy I'm like I'm like Aztec the ultimate one and she's like I told you to go out and buy oranges I didn't want oranges I wanted to ask tech the ultimate man Don't are you on 11 all right These episodes run long

Yes Dylan's at 11. I'm out. Dylan, I'll let you have Aztec for 11. Because you cut my banter off. You're like, I'll give them. I'll give them. I feel bad.

I feel bad. No, you don't. You feel good because you're the out of there. I don't have to fucking worry with that shit, Lou. Aztec, the ultimate man. Yeah, Aztec, the ultimate man. So before we spin again, do you guys want to do a very quick rundown of how much money is left and who's on what team?

Corey, can you guess what your team looks like? I think it's just green arrow at this point. Correct. Here we go. Correct. So I've spent, Corey, you spent 16. I've spent 17 and John spent 24. Mm-hmm.

According to my calculations. That's correct. That means I have 76 pounds left to spend. Dylan, you have 83 pounds left to spend. And Corey has 84 pounds left to spend. So we have our team lineup is, mine is green arrow. Dylan is Aztec and Vixen. Powerful names on the Scrabble board.

And John has Vibe, Catwoman, and the Flashberry Allen. Yes. Okay. Let's spin her again and see what happens. I mean, I'm pretty happy in my team so far, frankly. Okay. All right. Here we go. Power girl.

She seems pretty powerful. As the name would suggest. I imagine it's a girl. Yeah, well, yeah, Power Girl's sort of infamous for her looks, I'll leave it at that. Power Girl is 78 years old. She's like, I'm not a girl anymore. Why would I die? Why would I die? Let me pull her up real fast. Can you show me a picture of her, too?

Yes, I can. Power Girl. These is important things. Kara Zorel is the older, wiser. and stronger counterpart of Supergirl, but from Earth 2, that happens to also reside on Prime Earth. So she is basically an alternate version of Supergirl

who exists on the main world. So she has essentially the same abilities as Superman, but she is an older version of Supergirl. But she's a hot girl. Yes. I'll send you a picture, Power Girl. Because that was the thing I always had. My problem was like, you know,

this Superman run was lovely. This is great. But I'm like, yeah, but what? the Superman was like a hot girl. You know, I know. I might get my answer to my question. I should stop like making a big kiss with these characters before we start bidding for them. Yeah.

I should really just be like, Power Girl. He gives a shit like that and then just like swoop in when nobody wants her. Yeah, you have a picture of her now. Do I? Yep. Okay. Let me see. Hello? Yeah, Power Girl a bit infamous for her looks and her costume. I'm sorry. I was looking at the picture of something else.

So I was looking at a picture of Nostradri's penis and I was like, oh, look at that. Oh dear. So let's start the bidding at one pound. Does anyone want to take that? Yes, please. You're pretty quick there, John. I'll go three.

I really want to double it just for the sake of the bid. Just for the laughs. Let's see it. Why not? Double it. That's what it is, is it? Yeah. Double three is six. Yes, that's correct. There we go. I'll go eight.

Eight. I'll go nine. Ten. I'll go 11. Twelve. 13. How many numbers are you left? 15.

You're to double it again. Go ahead double 15, buddy. We're at 9. We're at 15? Yeah. 16. Okay. I'll go 17

Ah, you would, wouldn't you? Yeah, I would. Listen, there's not, there's only two Kryptonians on the wheel and no guarantee Superman's coming. Right, and I want one of them. Okay. 16?

That's where we're at. No, I think 17 is what we're going at. That's where I'm at right now, 17. You're 17? Yes. How many 20? Oh, okay. Yeah.

All right. 20 once. Twice. Dylan, you get Power Girl for 20. When you said 20 once, I thought you said 21. I was just twice. All right, Dylan, you got Power Girl for 20. My team looks fucking awesome.

It's not looking bad, that's for sure. The one criticism people have of Superman is he's just not a hot lady. Hot enough lady enough. Steal John. Steel John. All right, our next bid is the character, Steel. We have talked about Steel on the show before. He is one of the replacement Superman from the Death of Superman storyline, also part of Grant Morrison's Justice League.

Let me pull that up real fast. Yeah, show us a picture of Steel looking really hot, please. Well, so there are two steals. The second one is, I believe, his niece. Well, three then. Thank you. please inspired by inspired by Superman

John Henry Irons mimics his powers with technology however his greatest power is his heart his mind and determination so none of the steel stuff yes I forgot to mention where you know power girl first showed up

and what have you so you know we'll not important not important uh the steel has appeared in in 1,018 issues and also first appeared in Superman Toxenbach, number one, from 1985. From Germany? What was that word you just said? Tassenbach.

Taassenbach. Yeah. We're not going to get any explanation as to what that means. I know it was an issue which a bunch of characters fought the music maestro. Oh, well, fair enough, then. Don't worry with it. All right. We're going to start the bidding at one pound for steel. I'll do

I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll do fine I'll do two not too first about steel but he's a robot or whatever I don't know if he is I don't think he is I think he just He has a suit armor

He has a suit armor and a sledgehammer Oh the sledgehammer Sledgehammer Okay I'm in I know John likes a sledgehammer I said three while John was debilitating so you're going to have to like up that Five

we did up that He doubled it according to my eyes. Yeah, there you go. I'll go six. I'll do a seven.

I'll go eight. Sledgehammer, though, John. Sledgehammer. Sledgehammer. If he was called sledgehammer, I'd be like, cool, I get it. Yeah, yeah, definitely.

What do you mean? What's about eight or nine? We're at eight right now. Yes. Yeah, I'll do nine. Okay. And I also want to say there, Corey. Nine going once.

Twice. Anybody else want to say anything real quick? Dylan, you get steel for nine. Look. Okay. Yeah. He's got sledgehammer. It's all the coaxing you needed.

What else do you want to hear? Yeah. All right, we're to spin our wheel again. and next up is here he is Superman that's one of our heavy hitters

we got to waiting for a heavy hitter this whole time I feel great because right now I've got like the hot version of Superman I'm good and the human

and the human version of Superman's steel I'm all right I've got I've got Superman out the fucking wazoo plus fucking whatever Wixen does I am all right you guys are gonna have a great

time it is. Superman sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet of Krypton Cal L was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way. He has been in 19,313 issues, which I think is our first five digits there. And of course, first appeared in Action Comics number one. We don't need to really go over his powers because it's Superman for God's sakes. He can run as fast as the Flash. We know this.

We know this to be true. We'll start the bidding at one pound. Pretty low bidding to start Superman off. It always starts at one. You're the auctioneer. You could pick whatever number. I'll jump to five. Jump to five. I'll jump to ten. He doubled it.

Doubled it. I think. 22 25 There's very few There's some heavy hitters on this team The heavy hitters on the wheel still Wonder Woman, Batman, etc.

It is Superman, the first ever hero. Okay, I'm out. You're out? I'm out. 25. That's where we're at right now. Don't you think the catwoman could really use Superman on her team?

I think she's okay He's got her hands full at the moment He's got super strength You know what I'm talking about Yeah I guess All right 25 You're once

Twice All right I'll take Superman in 25 You can have them There you go I was not at all that just didn't get in superman. I'm happy. You have.

You have already won Kryptonian. I think, Corey, you've got like two people. Are you like ahead? Money wise, probably. I might be like ahead of you by a little bit, but like. All right. Next up, we have Green Lantern Hal Jordan. Originally, when I put this together,

there were four green lanterns on the list. And I was like, I'm not going to waste four spots on Green Lantern. because their powers are essentially all the same. Now when we can get a space for Aztec, the ultimate man. Mm-hmm. There you go. With the ability to overcome great fear and harness the power of will, test pilot Hal Jordan was chosen to be the Green Lantern of Sector 2814,

inheriting the ring of the dying alien Green Lantern, Albin Sur. He later on went to creating his own power ring from his own willpower. Through sheer willpower and determination, Hal was established an impressive record of heroism across the galaxy with the help of his fellow green lanterns as well as his peers and the Justice League. Hal Jordan has appeared in 5,460 issues and his first ever issue was showcase number 22 SOS Green Lantern, Secret of the Flaming Spear, Menace of the Runaway Missile. That's the longest one. The longest title for sure. That's insane. But we all, so Greenlander's powers, of course, come from his ring. He has the ability to create constructs

of his own imagination. So we'll start bidding at one pound. Could he, if he can construct out of him but in his mind, could he make a construct that is Superman? Yeah.

And then just have... And then he just has a Superman. Yeah, but he doesn't have the powers of Superman. He just has a construct that looks like Superman. Just an image of Superman. Yeah, a green image of Superman. So he can make a hologram of Superman. Yeah. Well, it's not a hologram. It's hard light. So it is the ability to interact with the world around it. Okay. So you what we're saying

is it has it can interact with the world around it, but not the way the Superman would in that it has none of Superman's powers. Yes. So he can create just a mannequin. Yes, for all sets of purposes. Or. A vibrate. Just toys. He could just make stuff that doesn't move. Yep.

This doesn't sound like a great... I mean, I feel like Vixen is way better than Green Lantern, honestly. You have... Again, you haven't sold to start him, man. How fast can he run? Green Lantern? Not terribly fast, but he can fly super fast. I mean, he is capable of interdimensional travel

or not interdimensional, but traveling through space with his ring. I like how quickly he changed Intermational. You're like, yeah,

no. It's just through space interstellar. He can go into space, I guess. He can let you guess. I mean,

he's in space all the fucking time. So anyway, that's no good to me. We'll start at one pound. You want to take Greeny Lantern Haldor into one pound. I'd go to one pound.

I can go two. This is why I drink. five six okay I see what you're doing I'll go eight Corey really wants them I know

we'll go nine do the old carnage on him you know I'm talking about the old carnage I'll go 12 well I go 13 15

there is another there is another green lantern on the wheel You cheated. How? How did sheets? Can you take most of the green lanterns off? Well, no, there's four green lanterns on the wheel originally. I took two of them off, so there's two green lanterns on the wheel.

I thought you took three of them off, so it was one green lantern. Yeah, there's two green lanterns. Like you said with the power girl, there's no guarantee that will spin the wheel and you'll get another green lantern. That's true. It's a risk I'm willing to take. your only goblin-esque opportunity to get what you want. I'm going to run the risk of getting Congolera. I didn't hear what...

I didn't hear what that. I didn't know what happened. No. I just said, I'm going to run the risk of getting Congolera. Well, I want him, so... He would pair well with Vixen. But no, it sounds like 15 going once, twice.

John, you get Hal Jordan for 15. I don't think you put up enough of a fight. You always criticize me when we do these auctions. I don't think that's what I always do. So we've got 20 names left on the wheel, and we're going to spend 10 more times. John, what are our standings money-wise? Okay, doke. So I have 61 pounds left to spend.

Dylan has 54 pounds left to spend. And you, Corey, have 59 pounds left to spend. Okay. And what are our lineups so far? So for my Justice League team, I've got Catwoman Vibe, the Flash, and Green Lantern. Dylan's got Vixen, Aztec, Power Girl, and Steel. And you Corey have Green Arrow and Superman. Some might argue that just having Superman on your team is like...

It's pretty good. But I have Power Girl, but you've said it's, kind of the same, but like a lady. She's Kryptonian as well. Power sets the same. A lot of the same power sets and stuff. Maybe not as popular. Not enough

comics as Superman, but still like similar, cosmically similar power levels. All right, let's spin her. All right. Next up, we have... I hope we don't get Batman at all. Zatana. You might have to do a little run down for Zatana real quick.

I know she's like a, magic lady. She is a magic lady. She's one of the few magic users on the wheel, if I'm not mistaken. Let me pull her up real fast. Yeah, you pull her up, Corey. Nope, that is not Zatana. That is a different character whose name starts with the Z. That's a picture. You guys weren't what to see. I have to put that away in my private folder for later. So, Zatanna, a good stage magician and daughter of the magician Giovanni John Zatar Zatana the mistress of magic after her father vanished kidnapped by an old foe she delved into his library and learned about her ancestors Zatana taught herself how to get access to her own power by speaking her spells backwards and became

one of the most powerful magic users in the DC universe Zatana has been in 1,780 issues her first appearance was in Hawk Band number four the girl who split into the machine. that magnetized men. What? Who the fuck was coming up with these titles? Listen, this was like, what year was this? This was an older one. This was

1964. Were they drunk all the time? Maybe. It's a silver age for God's sake. The cat that ate all the biscuits and they climbed to the window and then magically turned into a car. So it's like I said, Zatanna and I believe maybe our one lone magic use. out in the field. She dresses like a stage magician. So a little top hat, little tuxedo,

little fishnets. Classy. Classy lady. Very classy. And she casts her spells by saying things backwards. So like... As classy. It's like twin peaks when you go into the red lodge, you know. John got that one. I appreciate that. Exactly like twin peaks. Exactly like Twin Peaks. So we're going to start the bidding at one pound. I will take that. I'll double that for sure. Okay. I go to three. I want a classy lady. I'll go to four. Hang on, what are you saying vixen and power girl aren't classy ladies?

Well, they don't wore top hats. That's true, I guess. Yeah, think of it that way, man. What was Corey at four? Yeah. And did John not want to do a bid? Well, I was waiting to see if you were going to do a bid. Well, I will do a bid to five, then.

I will do eight. John, what do you think? It's the only magic user. Yeah, but... It's the only one to play Magic the Gathering. I don't know about that. I think anyone can play it. It's hard. I don't know how to play it. Yeah, you know, obviously you have to know the rules and stuff first, but...

What? You can't just be slapping down cards. You didn't tell me that part. What the fuck? but she could explain it to me yes and she can also tell me how they do the bit where they put the woman in the box

and they move the little the parts around but then she's still in the box whenever they open the door at the end sounds like you know how they do it I don't know well I just said they move the parts of the box around where does she go she's in the box yeah

right she's in there somewhere right so then how do they move the box side and down if she's in there. So we... Anyway, forget this, baby. We're at eight. I'm going to go 10.

I'll go 12. Ow. John, what's my number for like the whole... What have I got left? 54. So if I take... If I go to like at least 13, 54, that would take me down to 41?

Yes. we're still just halfway through. Oh, fuck. We're still, I think we've got nine more spins. Oh, man. But what else would I want if I

get the magician girl? I mean, Batman. Fucking who came the shit about Batman? See, and this is why John doesn't want Zatana on his team because Zatana is one of Bruce Wayne's ex-girlfriends. Oh. Hello.

And so is Catwoman as well, though. Yeah, see, you don't want those two to interact because it could be complicated. So is Barry Allen. It's tumultuous affair. It was very short-lived, but it burned hot and bright. What's the number at 12? Yes. Ah, 13.

I'll go 14. No, I don't want to do any further than that. You can have it. Okay. John, you want in? Nope. All right. So I'll take the tan at 14.

Congratulations, Corey. Oh, okay, interesting. I think what happened is the wheel, like, broke for some reason. So the wheel fucked us up. I think so. Because it's not, there we go. It wasn't showing as an option to share. All right.

We're back to the wheel, and we're going to spin again. And our next one up for bidding is... The Black Canary. John is pretty comfortable with that one. No, I was hoping for Aquaman. Oh, yeah. Why would you be hoping for Aquaman? Well, why wouldn't you?

Because that's the guy you punched in that Pro Bowl picture I made? There you go. Dinah Lance was born into a family of crime fighters. Her mother was a vigilante and her father is a cop. She grew up with the company of heroes and after years of training, followed in her parents' footsteps by assuming the costume, identity, and the legacy of her mother, Dina Drake, the black candidate. Dinaina has appeared in 3,420 issues, with her first appearance being in Justice League of America, number 75. In each man, there is a demon that came out in 1969. Dina Lance is considered one of D.C.'s best hand-to-hand combat fighters.

She also has a sonic-powered scream that kind of like Banshee, which is, I believe I refer to as her canary cry. We're going to start the bidding at one pound. She's like bouncy, but he's not from Ireland. No. She has a similar power. Are any of these guys, Maryland? No, no, I did not put Jack a Lantern on here. Was he in the Justice League?

No, he was on the Global Guardians. But then he wouldn't have fit in this league anyway, so. Jackalander was from Ireland? Yeah. I mean, that's where Jacqueline's originated from. I... What? Jackaland's originated from Ireland.

This is true. I think they would... Yeah. With like... Tornips. Like, turnips. How do you fucking pumpkins here? Well, that's good they didn't...

It wasn't ever pumpkins back then. We used turnips. I sent you a picture of black canary, Dylan. Oh, dude. Why did you do this on the video? All right. All right. She looks like a woman I've seen before.

She, a very prominent member of the Birds of Prey that Gail Simone wrote. Mm-hmm. Pretty big role in the Justice League cartoon. And I think in the new 52, she was like the singer of like a rock band. And that was kind of strange because I don't know how they resolved that whole business. But anyway, yes. I'll start it out at one pound then. I'll go two.

I'll go three. I'll also go three. share her. We'll share her. Joint custody. We'll put her on both teams. Listen, if Wolverine can be in the X-Men, X-Force, and the Avengers at the same time. I'll get her Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays, and you can have her the other days.

Okay. We'll alternate Sundays. Yeah. No, you can have her Sundays. I'm fine. Okay. Yeah. I'm nice to go.

I'll go four anyway, so you're not sharing her anymore. John, what if I go four and we share her? No. I'll go five. Corey I know I ruined it Who am I sharing with here You guys never want me to share women with you

What's going on here Oh dear That's five going once Six Six, okay Seven I really shouldn't should I Seven

Probably shouldn't Twice Twice All right I'll take her for seven who was it Black Canary Black Canary

Oh I've been I did not have it on our screen the entire time Still sharing the wheel wasn't it Thank you that's why I didn't know There you go All right well we'll go ahead and we'll spin her again Since we're already on the wheel Crazy

And our next one up for grabs is Oh oh up up up Oh Wonder Woman Heavy hitter Heavy hitter. Corey, what did you spend on Black Canary? Seven, I believe.

Seven. All right. Wonder Woman, the Amazon princess blessed with godlike superpowers. Wonder Woman is one of the earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality, and a member of the Justice League. She's considered an art type for many heroines outside of the comic book world. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by the patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she's been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and her Amazonian mother, Queen Hippolyta. She has been around for 9,061 issues

with the first appearance being All-Star Comics number 8, Justice Society, two new members win their spurs. What the fuck? This was 1941. They couldn't give a fuck-up by words back then, could they? No, the problem is they used too many words. back then.

They were like, dude, we've got, like, pages are like this big. We can only draw a woman this big. We've got to fill the rest of the page, but just words. Just quib,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and then her just, like, posing with a whip or whatever.

I don't know. I don't know about Wonder Woman, clearly. Corey's taking very intently in a picture of Wonder Woman. Yeah. Like a framed, the signed picture on his desk that he's like,

will we, like, imprint of, like, um, imprint of, like, um, lipstick on it,

the hell would be kissed on it. And he's like, And it says, pick me for your Justice League team. Kiss, Wonder Woman. All right. We'll start with our bidding. We'll start bidding at one pound. Who wants to take Wonder Woman?

It's a pretty low for Wonder Woman. Again, we start at one. You can start wherever you want. I never choose at one. I just say we're going to start at one. What did John say? I'll take one. Take one.

I'll go three. Five. Six. seven ten eleven twelve fourteen

fourteen fourteen oh fifteen fifteen sixteen i i

i run a little money sixteen sixteen sixteen going once twice 17 ah you son of a bitch

that's me there it is that's what we've been for When John gets fed up, it starts cursing us. Us or me? For Wonder Woman, though. She's got the last tube of truth. Got bulletproof. Yeah.

She can fly or whatever. What does she do? I don't know. She can fly. She can fly. She's got an invisible jet. Got an invisible jet. Okay.

I'll go to 18. You, to be fair, you're arguing for him to bid more. 100%. I'm trying to look more roast for the camera. There we go. I mean, for

Wonder Woman, though, like, Wonder Woman's a big hitter. Yeah, heavy hitter. That's a big one. She's one of the Trinity. I'm surprised that you dropped out like super quickly because I'm like,

this is Wonder Woman we're talking about. Yeah, but I also have 25 months. I put 25 on Superman. Yeah, but also, like, you have a magician and a fucking, whatever

the Green Arrow does, Anybody could shoot a fucking thing. I have a, I have a married couple, Black Canary and Green Arrow. I have a nice little, I have a little familial dynamic on my team. Yeah, but if Wonder Woman came in, she could like disrupt the Mari couple and then, hello. I have a little fun story for your comic. You've got to think about the storylines, dude. You're not thinking about the potential feature.

Conflict, huh? Exactly. Controversity creates cash. That's what the man said. That's what they say. What are we at 18? Yeah. John what's my number how much have I got left

you have 54 pounds left much of you go left I'm not that liberty to just throws that information we'll touch on that in a couple of more spins Dylan we'll touch on that once the Wonder Woman bit is closed I'm telling the mass of my head 30 36

you've spent 39 So that means you have 61 left. If you say so. Don't. I'm really bad at my as dude. Don't make me feel even worse about myself. This is supposed to be an all-inclusive podcast. You're making me feel like an eye-teller.

All right. What's the number 18? Yes. 18. Wonder Woman. I mean, I paid 21 for Power Girl. Twice. Dylan, last call.

19. All right. bastard. No, you can have it. All right. Dylan, you're going to eat Wonder Woman for 19. I'm going to tell you this. I couldn't give a fuck about him.

Batman. If Batman comes up, you guys are going to end up fighting with a Batman. He's going to be right here, right now. And I'm going to be like, that's sweet. Okay. Jorrell or whatever the fuck. Suriel.

This is another one. This is another Grant character. All right. Zuriol is. That other Z character had. Zarel was once a member of the Eagle host, one of the four angel hosts of heaven. Then he fell in love with a mortal female

and willingly gave up his divinity to be with her. Now mortal, he lives among us as heaven's mortal champion. Zoriel showed up in JLA number six, Fire in the Sky, and has appeared in 258 issues. Like I said, this is a Grant Morrison character. He is literally an angel from heaven. So he Well, he has a sonic scream, super speed, super strength,

expert swordsman, telepathy can fly, is technically considered immortal. So yeah, he's an angel. Does he have a thousand eyes? No, he's not the biblically accurate angel. I got a tattoo of that, by the way. Can we see it? Am I sharing my screen still?

Yes. Are you sure? Because it says I'm not. We can see you. Oh, I'm just saying, when I said, are you, could you see the wheel? So, no. That's pretty cool. Yeah.

If you're watching this or listen to this on Spotify, you fucked up. You got to watch at YouTube.com, court slash smart avengers to be able to see Corey's cool-ass tattoos and all the other stuff, me drinking a lot. Unfortunately, we will not see your reaction to seeing that picture that we sent you. That didn't happen because, unfortunately. So I don't know what you're talking about. It didn't happen. One picture, we'll never know. No, no.

All right, we're going to start Zerial at one. I'll take him a one. He's an angel. There's always one. There's always one character that nobody wants. Zoriel going once. Two? There you go.

Really? I'll go three. I don't want him. All right, I'll take Zerial at three. Zerial for another mistake was Z, Z, A, U. U-R-I-E-L. I just wrote it down the way I think it's well.

There you go. I'm not saying this is a tax man. They're not going to know. Zerial, by the way, was created because Grant Morrison was told Hawkman wasn't available. Again, not a great persuasive tactic right there.

Yeah. All right. We have, is it going to, yes, it is Firestorm. Pyro. Which is kind of, you know, you would think, but Firestorm's not deceptive.

Johnny Storm. All right, Firestorm. Originally a composite being Firestorm has power over fire and heat and can alter the atomic structure of objects. He has appeared in 1,188 issues, and his first appearance was in Firestorm number one, make way for Firestorm. No shit, dude.

he's referred to as Firestorm the nuclear man and this was 1978 and yeah no he has the ability to alter the chemical structure of things around him so you know like I think what time his powers were used against him and he turned someone into salt like God did

like a pillar of salt correct you know farewell with your angel I could use the power of a god considering you missed out on an angel you got the angel I didn't get the angel I said you missed out on an angel I think he gives a fuck about the angel

except for you Corey I'm sorry yeah that's okay so we'll start the bidding at one pound for Firestorm I'll take that I'll go two three four five

six what was Pars again he can manipulate the atomic structure of things. That sounds pretty big, man. It is pretty big. I would tell you the downside is that he got stabbed once and it caused a nuclear reaction and he blew up. Oh, that sounds cool. Sabit.

Yeah. Eight. Ooh. John. Corey, that's what you're going to do. That's how you appealed was. What caused his destruction? We're in.

John, you should be familiar with him because he was in, I think he was in Flash. And he was also in Legends of Tomorrow. That's correct. I can't remember what the guy's name was. He was like a different version of him in Legends of Tomorrow, though. Yeah, yeah, they were the, it was not the traditional, it was not the traditional Ronnie and Professor Stein. It was like Jason and Professor Stein.

Regardless, regardless, we are at, what, eight? Yes, me. Nine. Nine. I'm going to say nine. Ten. John, are you at liberty to explain how much you have left this time? Nope.

Why is it always whenever you and me are going against each other? You don't have a liberty to explain simple mathematics. We will find, so we have five more spins after this, and we will do our recap then. What do you have, nine? Ten. Ten? No, no. Ten once?

Taken. Twice. All right. John, you get Firestorm for 10. Whoop. Let me jump into like a big pile of microwave. And all the jugglers and jugglets. It landed, trust me.

Much like he does. Here we go. John, we have five more spins of the wheel left. A lot of heavy hitters left on the board. I mean, Batman is huge. Founding member, Martian Manhunter. We've got Aquaman still there, Booster Gold, Nightwing. That's a very big names.

So real quick though, John, where are we sitting at money-wise and what are our teams look like? Okie-dokey. So money-wise, I have 51 pounds left to spend. Dylan has 35 pounds left to spend. Corey, you have 35 pounds left to spend as well. Oh, so we need the muscle John. out of this. Yeah.

No, no, no. Yeah, yeah. You're clearly 20 points ahead of us. Well, all we need is Batman to come up, and I think that's going to be a equalizer if he gets landed on. Who wants Batman? So what is our team lineups looking like Dylan? I have Vixen, AsTech, the Ultimate Man, Power Girl, Steel, and Wonder Woman, who I think is,

like, a pretty fucking solid team. Yeah. You guys are all making fun of me. I'm like, oh, I don't have a magician. What are we going to do? I think I'm doing all right. Corey, you have Green Arrow, Superman, which some people might think

is going to sway the votes in your favor. I disagree. Zatana, the magician, Black Canary and Zeriel. And John, you have Catwoman, Vibe. What's so funny about vibe? What's good about vibe?

The vibe is good about vibe. I don't know about that. The Barry Allen version of the Flash, the Hal Jordan version of Green Lantern, and the Firestorm. So there you go. Okay. I said we got five more spins,

so again, not everybody is going to be drafted. Let's see who we got left. What I like is, I feel like we all have like a couple of heavy hitters in our teams. Oh, this is what I was hoping for. This is the one you talked about earlier, Congorilla. Congorilla.

Boy, oh boy, am I excited to talk to you guys about congo. Corrilla. Please do. Congolera, a trained tracker explorer and expert marksman. Congo Bill is a superb athlete and excellent hand-to-hand combatant who is at one time able to swap bodies with a powerful enchanted golden gorilla. So he has the powers of a big gorilla.

He can change his side. He doesn't. He swaps bodies with the gorilla. So the gorilla has the powers of a gorilla. Yeah, there you go. Well, it's a golden gorilla. So this is a magic gorilla. What happens if the golden gorilla got melted down?

Well, I mean, it's not solid gold. He's just colored gold. Like his gold fur. Oh, that's solid. I mean, he would burn to death. Well, that's, well, that would be. Well, maybe not because con gorillas, one of his powers is he's immortal. Oh.

Like a gorilla. Like a gorilla. It's a magic gorilla. Kong gorilla has appeared in 514 issues. His first appearance was in More Fun Comics number 56, The Specter, Terror at Lighthills. And this one was in 1940.

Dylan, obviously a big fan because he just gave the camera a thumbs up. I didn't even, my hands wouldn't even like fucking out the camera. I think Dylan versus Skype is our biggest argument. I looked away from the camera and looked at my phone. and the scribe was like, that's a thumbs up

if I ever saw one. All right, so let's start bidding at one pound for Congolera. I'll go two. You're going to go two? Okay. Once? Twice.

John, you get Congorilla for two. Yes. You know, when you look at some of those names left on the list, you go, man, that's a shame the wheel chose Congarilla when all these other characters are still here. Congerrilla. Congerrilla.

All right, here we go. First. The spin of the wheel of the Justice League, will you want Wonder Woman or would you want Congolera? How about Cyborg as our fourth pick? We're four remaining after this. Or no, three remaining after this. All right, we all know Cyborg.

Yes. Cyborg, very famously of the Teen Titans, when DC relaunched into the new 52, they replaced Martian Manhunter with Cyborg as a founding member in the Justice League movie. Cyborg was one of those main characters as well, but half man, half machine, all hero. After a near fatal accident,

Victor Stone was cybernetically enhanced by his father. He now possesses the ability to communicate, manipulate, and interface with nearly all forms of technology. As he is constantly upgrading, he promises to defend the future from any threat. Cyborg first, well, he's been in 3,089 comics, and his first appearance was DC Comics presents number 26, between friend and foe when nightmares began,

whatever happened to Sargon the sorcerer. And this was in 1980. Even in 1980, they were like, we got to put many words on this fucking cover. When did they stop? Was it like the 2000s? We're like, Superman 16. Here he is.

There he goes. That was actually the full title of the death of Superman. Death of Superman. There he goes. He's dead now. Thanks, man. All right. We know Cyborg, we know his abilities, very famously of the Teen Titans cartoon.

But, you know, most notably recently, I mean, he was, was he in the CW stuff? I know that he was in Smallville. I don't think he was in the C.W. stuff. I may have to read this. Fair enough, but he was. He was in the Snyder movie, though. All right, so we're going to start the bid at one pound. Does anyone want to take Cyborg for a pound?

I'll do it. I'll take Cyborg for a pound. We don't have any tech characters. I mean, I already have Steel. You have Steel. I already have Power Girl He was like a lady version of Superman. Not even a robot version, like a lady version.

I got better versions of Superman already. John doesn't. John is no version of Superman. Well, thankfully, I don't think Cyborg is a version of Superman. No. Is it a cyborg like didn't it? Like you said brought in like the death of Superman though. No, steel was brought in for Death of Superman.

so you already have that version was there not four cyborg was already in the Teen Titans you're thinking of the cyborg Superman which is a villain that is who I'm thinking of well in that case I'm doubling on interested

if it's not even fucking cyborg Superman I'm double like all right because I don't know nothing about this cyborg John or are we at two I think so

I'll go three four five I don't want him that much Okay, you can have him Alright, I'll take cyborg for five He's a robot He's a robot

Well, he's a cyborg It's not quite the same as a robot Mainly robot All right, we got three more spins of the wheel left Are we going to land on? Batman's going to be the big question Let's see Yes, we are No

There is We got Green Lantern John Stewart Is it the same John Stewart that does the Daly show? No. Yes. Wait, I'm getting mixed signals here, man. Formerly an architect, social activists, and U.S. Marine sniper, John Stewart was chosen by the Guardians of the Universe to join the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic peacekeeping organization dedicated to protecting life throughout the universe.

Stewart has proven himself time and again to be an exceptional champion in countless missions that have taken him across the cosmos. His distinguished service in the Corps has resulted in a place among the Owen Honor Guard and a position of core leader. John Stewart has been in 1,910 issues, and his first appearance was in Green Lantern number 87. Beware of my power. What can one man do, Earth's first Green Lantern? And this was in 1971. Who is Greenlander? John.

John has the Hall of Jordan Green Lantern. So the difference between the two. Yeah. So this is the Green Lantern that was in the Justice League cartoon in the 90s and 2000s, voiced by Phil Lamar. Because, you know, Phil Lamar's great voice actor. So the difference between the two is that John Stewart is very organized, very militant because of his past in the United States Marines. Whereas John Stewart, or not John Stewart, but Hal Jordan is a test pilot, so he's a little more reckless and a little more daring. So same power set, just different approaches to how they use them.

Okay. All right. So I'll start bidding at one pound. Who would like to take John Stewart? I'll go up for one pound. I'll go two. I'll go three. Four.

Five. Six. Seven? Eight. Hmm. No. Yeah, I think I'm good. Okay. I will take John Stewart Green Lantern for eight.

Okay. All right. We're getting down to the nitty-gritty. We've got two spins left on the wheel. Do we want to do a quick rundown of what's left money-wise? So we know what we're all heading into. Mm-hmm. Okay, doke. So I have 49 pounds left to spend.

Dylan has 35 pounds left to spend. and Corey, you have 22 pounds left to spend. That Batman is going to be pretty tricky. Yeah, I don't think I'm getting Batman. He comes up on the wheel. We got two spins left to get him. Let's see. Here we go.

I hope it's not Batman. I look like it's going to be... It's going to be Booster Gold. So close to Aquaman. Almost got him. All right. Booster Gold is, fun. I think you actually would really like this character, Dylan.

Booster Gold humiliated in his own time period, the 25th century. Michael John Carter stole future technology and a security robot named Skeets and traveled back into the 20th century to become the greatest hero you've never heard of, Booster Gold. Booster Gold first appeared in history of the DC Universe number two, book two. and that was in 1986 and has appeared in 163 issues. So Booster Gold basically has a lot of tech from the future.

He has technology that allows him to shoot like beams out of his wrists. He has a personal force field that goes around him. He's capable of flight thanks to his Legion flight ring. He's a very funny character because at times he's selfish and a bit greedy. But he has a good heart and a bit of a time traveler. Oh.

John, you would know of Booster Gold a little bit because of Rip Hunter from DC Legends of Tomorrow. Booster Gold is his dad. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, I never. You will never. So we're going to start with the greatest hero you've never heard of Booster Gold. We have one pound on that.

Wait, how much? Is there one other one after this? Yes. Yes. One more spin after this. Okay. So I'll take him for one pound. I'll go two.

I'll go three. Go four. I'll go six. I go eight. Ten. Twelve. Thirteen. Fifteen.

Oh, 16. I'm out. 17. 18. 19. 20. Oh. Here's the thing.

I don't think that if he wants been left, I don't think the one spin left is going to be any use to me. Watch you eat that, man, though. I already said I couldn't give a fuck. Okay. 22. I'm out. You're just to my max.

Yeah. All right, Dylan, you get booster gold. I got a guy that can travel three time. Yeah, he's very funny. He's also a very funny character. I came up, man. Yeah. Justice League International is one of my favorite books, and he's a central character to that book.

It looks like you guys are already fucked up. You're putting your hopes of Batman. He's not coming. He'll never come. All right. You're going to get Aquaman. Here's our last spin. Here's our last spin.

On the board left, we have Hawkman, Nightwing, the Adam, Batman, Black Lightning, Plastic Man, Blue Beetle, the Martian, Man Hunter, the Huntress, Big Barta, and Aquaman. please that a big big barter oh big barter is amazing you'd love her well I've already got all the people I love I love anymore Corey I can't love anymore all right this is our last spin it looks like it's gonna be

Hawkman oh what a beautiful anticlegmatic ending to this show it's always every every spin of the wheel so far this is the second one in a row that the last spin is completely anticlimactic because last number the spider villains it was Beetle.

I knew getting boosted gold was going to be a smart move for me. Carter Hall, infused with a mysterious Inth Metal, is granted flight, strength, and living armor. He battles dangerous threats, both alien and mystical, as the savage

Hawkman. Hawkman first debuted in Flash Comics number one, Origin of the Flash, and has been in 2045 issues. And he's been around since 1940 as well. Congratulations. Yeah, it's been around a while.

It's a good man. Good man, great, Ann. Well, I would say great. All right, so let's start the bid at one pound. I'll say 23 pound. I already got a character with wings. I'm fine. So, John, it sounds like you're going to get Hawk, man. Yes.

Because Dylan does not seem like he wants him. I've already written a dime of the book. Dylan only has 13 pounds anyway. Let's be totally honest, dude. If I had 100 points, I'm not voting for hot. I am curious, though. We'll do one more test spin just to see if Batman was going to come up. If the fates, the biggest name got suddenly as well.

Look what fucking biggest name is, dude. Batman. I'm Batman. What would have been Batman. What if I was? second left. You got 13. 13? Yeah. I'm bidding 26.

That was the last spin. There's no there's no. I know. But I'm still bidding 26. Oh, you're just out of that principle. Corey, let's go. You may pool our talents together. Yeah. I'm both going to beat John. All right. Well, real quick. Let's do our final recap. How much money was left over for everybody, John?

So I had 26 pounds left Dylan had 13 and you Corey had 22 pounds left A big spender What were our team lineups? Yeah, whatever our team lineups finalized that Dylan So I had The best team

From Vixen, as Tech the ultimate man The Ultimate Man Nobody's gonna be better than him Power Girl, Steel, Wonder Woman and Booster Gold who I think if you look at that, that's a pretty good team. Yeah?

I think you don't know any of these characters. Didn't like that silence from people, but like really it's the best. It's probably the best team, really. Forre he had Green Arrow, Superman, whoever that is, Zatana, Black Canary, Zerial, Cyborg,

and Green Lantern. John had... John Stewart. The John Stewart version of Greenland. John had Catwoman, vibe, the Barry Allen version of Flash, the Hal Jordan version of Green Lantern, which is why it's very important to get them right.

Firestorm, everybody's favorite character. Congorilla, everybody's second favorite character. And Hawkman, everybody's third favorite character. The John had everybody's favorite characters, and that's hard to beat. That's hard to beat. So, real quick, though, in summary, how is this walk down into DC Comics for you guys? because some of these characters you never heard of before we did this.

I'm super happy my team. I'm going to say that. Some of them I've never heard of, but the way that you described them, I'm pretty happy with what I got. I will say that the leftover names we have are amazing. But go ahead, John. Yeah, like it's only really Zoriel and Congolera

that I've never heard of before. So I feel like we did pretty well, even though there were some heavy hiters left over. Yeah, so these are people that were left over. Batman, Black Lightning, Plastic Man, the Jaime Reyes version of Blue Beetle, Martian Manhunter, The Huntress, Big Barta, Aquaman, Nightwing, and the Ray Palmer version of the Adam.

Nobody knows who those people are. Who does who Batman is? Who the fuck is Batman? All right, well, thank you everybody for joining us in on another one of our auctions with our wheel. Totally nothing bad happened in the process of recording this. It's not like the recording just stopped at one point. Regardless, yeah, you've heard the names a dozen times now. You can take the wheel off the screen.

Are you sure? You don't want to just keep comparing at the wheel? We should have our faces. It's hard of three of our faces up here. So people can see... I don't know. Mine's just a void for me. No, no, we need to see everybody's faces.

There we go. Beautiful. So, you know, like you said, you've heard the names of our teams now. If you want to go into the comments, either on Spotify or on YouTube, let us know how you think we did. Were there names that we didn't include in the wheel that you thought that we should have had on the wheel?

You know, was, do you understand what John is applying when he talks about Catwoman liking vibes so much? I don't know. Yeah, of course. Salvi is the bank robbery thing. Yeah, yeah, of course. But that's going to do is for today, John. Where are you on your movie watch for 2025? I have reached 101 movies.

Congrats. Was it 101 Dalmatians? No, I should have really thought about that. It was contagion. 102 Dalmatians. What was it? It was contagion. Oh, okay.

John, what you think? I mean, it's a bit scary watching it now because it's like, oh, yeah, shit, that actually really happened in real life. Pandemic? Yes. Pandemic, a bunch of people died. Yeah. It's not funny, Corey.

If only Big E was there, you know. Who'd have saved everybody? Would have saved everybody. With his sandwiches. It's deep cut. It's such an inside, inside baseball on that one. But regardless, John, we're with candy, no, we're not doing it. John, John, go ahead and let us know where people can see a review of contagion as well as the other 100 movies that you've watched so far for the year.

You can find them on Letterboxed at Big John Bowski, all word. All right. Dylan, what's going on in the world? Captain Exploity or Carl Stancy. Do you remember, would you remember Carl Stancy came from? No. You remember Carl Stancy?

Oh, that's right. I do remember Carl Stancy from our, movie casting. Good old Carl Stancy. I brought it down to the people, so I would remember Carl's, I wouldn't forget it. And clearly you did already, so.

I thought it was the typo at first. No, that's his name. Here you go. It says real name. Now that it's happening with me. I have a book. It's called The Wonderful Word of Captain Spody. Go buy it or stream it or e-book it or whatever the fuck people do.

Whatever it is, people do. You're not doing it. So please do it because I need new teeth badly and they're expensive. But that's pretty much it. Corey, what's happening with you? So I have my other podcast, a large old cup. It's been going pretty well. recently so real quick shout-up though we have you know started accounts on blue sky

which is the non-problematic version of Twitter so far I will say because social media has a tendency of doing that so you can find large old cup and these smart Avengers on Blue Sky yeah we're there and yeah can you believe that I can't But yeah, no, go ahead and follow us there. Follow us on Instagram. If you're watching the show on YouTube, checks out on Spotify. Maybe not this episode,

For like one second. So you got to watch a more episode to see what the second of this. When you saw that picture of Zatanna and his face was just, you know, He was like, wow, you know. His eyes came out. Like a cartoon wolf. Like bomb, wow, wow, like that, you know. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay, just going to make sure.
