I came to understand based on a consistency of trends that when that happens, it's usually because readers are too honest to vote for a character they like against a superior force, but also dislike turning on said character(s) in a no-win situation regarding folks they like, so they abstain.<br /><br />B'enn B'urnzz ultimately received only one of six votes, as Black Adam took 83.33% of responses.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-70268769687267415042013-06-25T19:47:06.992-05:002013-06-25T19:47:06.992-05:00Err... make that Sunday night and Monday morning.....Err... make that Sunday night and Monday morning...Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-63751256447303065672013-06-25T19:46:31.054-05:002013-06-25T19:46:31.054-05:00Will, it was worse yesterday.

It started Monday evening, and put me off posting until Tuesday morning, when I spent a couple of hours moving recent and scheduled images to a new account. As it says, after 5 1/2 years of accumulated scans, they're finally getting enough regular views to eat up my free bandwidth. It's kind of lame, because opening an additional account is as easy as coming up with a new email address. I don't see the point in moving everything over with five days left in the month. New scans should be visible from now on, and the old ones should be back online in July. It sucks and I'm sorry, but "free" bites us on the butt sometimes.<br /><br />I'm guessing you've got some kind of firewall that interferes with the polls. I can view them fine with IE & Firefox, but maybe I should try another polling option in the future for greater accessibility.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-56301314395638759102013-06-25T09:18:36.337-05:002013-06-25T09:18:36.337-05:00Frank, the photobucket images for this are gone an...Frank, the photobucket images for this are gone and I am seeing gray boxes with a photobucket ad.

He is a bigger name villain and is a better strategist than B'enn B'urnzz. So, Teth Adam gets my vote -- even if I suspect B'enn B'urnzz might do some lasting damage.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-3433011359399483132013-06-23T13:49:11.130-05:002013-06-23T13:49:11.130-05:00I think there's a good fight to be had between...I think there's a good fight to be had between B'enn and Adam under pre-millennial terms. Since 2000 though, Black Adam's growth in power and relevance rather eclipses B'urnzz. They have enough in common to make it a fun question to pose, but the ultimate outcome of an Black Adam victory is to my mind never really in doubt. Sometimes, just plausibly keeping company with a big name DCU villain is a victory unto itself for a member of the Vile Menagerie.

One could argue that Teth Adam has done far more harm, as he has been used a lot more often. I will have to think of who to favor as a foe for J'Onn. I suspect that if B'enn B'urnzz would be used again (unlikely, I suspect) his back story would change.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.com
