Time to tell you about the final eight heroes in your bracket:
Bruce Treut
Name: Aquaman
Highest Finish: 14th (2011)
2012 Champion Pick: Michigan St.
Special power: The King of Atlantis can breathe underwater and can communicate directly with any sea life, and order them to fight evil. The only crustacean that ignores his commands is the stubborn Alaskan King Crab (because he is a competing monarch in the ocean kingdom).
Bill Butler
Name: Nightcrawler
Highest Finish: 2nd (2004)
2012 Champion Pick: Kentucky
Special power: This blue-skinned member of the X-Men can teleport quickly (faster than Star Trek standards) - up to 3 miles away from his starting position! Can you imagine how helpful this is in the middle of the night when you really have to use the bathroom?
Brock
Name: Paul Bunyan
Highest Finish: 1st (2005)
2012 Champion Pick: Kentucky
Special power: The giant lumberjack, usually accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox, is responsible for many of the geographic features of the United States. He created the Grand Canyon by dragging his axe behind him, and the 10,000 lakes in Minnesota were footprints left by Paul and Babe during a great blizzard. Sadly, he is also guilty of clear-cutting and irresponsible logging practices.
Greg
Name: Zaphod Beeblebrox
Highest Finish: Rookie
2012 Champion Pick: Kentucky
Special power: In case you didn’t know, Zaphod is president of the galactic government (from “Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. He has two heads, three arms, and lives the life of a self-centered rock star, gallivanting around the universe as he pleases. He’s not too concerned about the Vogon destroying Earth to build a intergalactic highway. Should he be?
Colin
Name: Die Fledermaus
Highest Finish: Rookie
2012 Champion Pick: North Carolina
Special power: Like the character he is spoofing, Batman, he has no real superpowers; just a costume with oversized ears, a realistic bat nose, and a boatload of gadgets. Featured in the cartoon “The Tick,” Die Fledermaus usually sat around in diners and tried to pick up women, instead of fighting bad guys.
Brett
Name: Hellboy: Box Full of Evil
Highest Finish: Rookie
2012 Champion Pick: Florida St.
Special power: During World War 2, Hellboy was summoned as an infant from Hell to Earth by the Nazis. Luckily, the United States won the war and trained Hellboy to become a federal agent (investigating paranormal activities). This red-skinned demon possesses superhuman strength and endurance. He has cloven hooves and an oversized hand made of stone - called the Right Hand of Doom - that is perfect for pummeling his enemies.
Tim Dardis
Name: Tim Dardis
Highest Finish: Rookie
2012 Champion Pick: Kentucky
Special power: Tim Dardis is a genius when it comes to pull tabs. I once saw him win three dollars.
Me
Name: Captain Planet
Highest Finish: 1st (2002, 2004)
2012 Champion Pick: North Carolina
Special power: CP can control the elements of wind, earth, fire, water and heart. Heart, by the way, is the power of imparting care and sympathy into the minds of people. Sounds like propoganda to me.
