March Madness: All Divisions: Round Six



The cosmic buttinsky known as The Interferer has broken out of the back issue of The Omega Men that he had been trapped in for decades, thanks to the Flash's mommy issues or something. Shortly before the Post-Crisis DC Universe collapsed into Flashpoint, the Interferer read the Salvation Run trade paperback, and thought it was too cool. The Interferer tried to find Salvation, but failing that, landed in a back issue of Showcase with a joint similar enough to have some fun. Figuring nobody would miss them, the Interferer took all of the Martian Manhunter's rogues gallery to a battle planet inspired by Manhunter 2070. It would have been rad to kill J'Onn J'Onzz again, but he ended up in The Outsider, so we'll have to make do...


Mongul was on the verge of another cerebral hemorrhage. Battling countless phantom Lobos, and taking on physical damage from the telepathically concealed Despero, he soon succumbed to a blast of the Kalanorian's mutant third eye. Turning his gaze out through the Silver Sauna, intent on ambushing whoever else yet survived, Despero sensed the presence of a Martian all too reminiscent of J'Onn J'Onzz. It was his evil twin brother Ma'alefa'ak, who had fought Despero in two contested matches last year. Despero was confident things would favor him this year, since Malefic had just worn himself out against a Darkseid far less than the Old 52 one Despero had demolished in the first VM March Madness...


B'enn B'urnzz, worn out and in ragged, ill-fitting armor, made a break for it. Commander Blanx ruthlessly shot B'enn in the back, then watched the Desert Dweller float along down the creek. Flying onward, the alabaster annihilator found himself back at the rain shadow. A ways down its steep decline, the Human Squirrel lay on his back, his fur matted with blood and sweat, a leg twitching. The Devil Men of Pluto were at the top, in possession of the teleportation sphere and ready to defend their claim against all comers...
