Ooh, Palpatine can shoot lasers out of his hands to punk out Mark Hamill. Zod made the son of Jor-El kneel before him. That act alone shows why Zod, ruler of the Planet Houston, should win this fight.

Do you hear me, Palpatine supporters? I defy you! Come and kneel before Zod! Zod!

How's about, they're both lame and shouldn't still be in the tournament.

Is there a place where the full brackets are so I can see how this bracket ended up lame?

The tournament takes place in Hades. There's no sun in Hades. Zod derives his power from the Sun, he's useless in Hades. He's done.

Had someone pointed this out earlier, Zod might not have made it this far.

Meh, it's all just a popularity contest. It's the only reason why half the people made it as far as they did. I mean, I'm a Simpsons fan and all, but Burns got way too far in this contest.

So, Superman can't fight indoors? Or underground? Or in the shade?

He's supposed to get his power from the yellow sun. It may not go away instantaneously but it will fade, if you hold to the idea that his power comes from the sun. Palpatine could hold off for a while, waiting for Zod's power to diminish, and then go in for the kill. There's no sun in Hades, in either Tartarus or the Elysian Fields.

We had this discussion in one of Zod's earlier fights.

And the decision was? I don't remember, which battle was it?

The final comment on the subject came from Scooby with:

Since Hades is buried in human folklore I do not think it is a stretch to assume that it would have a yellow sun.

Zod beat Luthor 20-11 in the match-up: Link (http://board.uscho.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=2593019)
