| Whatta Couple 'o Cards! blubeetle3 DC Comics 2009/3/5 18:53 2524 3
I know! I know! I'm no colorist. But, when I saw this scan of art by the great Kevin Maguire, I couldn't help myself.
...And then I realized that the difference between five-year old me and current me is that my crayon box is more advanced now! |

| SMACKDOWN ROUND 4: "The Beginning of the End" blubeetle3 Smackdown 2008/11/5 15:30 4000 7
"Horny Valley" + Lady Heromorph ecstacy & porn bender + the pink mist of carnal lust + Spider-Man's drunken brilliance (check it out HERE) = BIG TROUBLE for Blue Beetle & Ice!
Everything is against these poor kids! Well, they gave it a good try.
Next stop...the HM Adult Gallery! |

After an EPIC BATTLE (so epic, in fact, that I couldn't be bothered to depict it! ) with the faeries, Ice & Blue Beetle are a little worse for wear.
And to make matters worse, Lady Heromorph's little bender is definitely kicking in...
Oh, I almost forgot! Special thanks to petercotton for the torn clothing maps. |

After the second round, LADY HEROMORPH transports all the contestants to underground tunnels via a dimensional portal. But, before she does, she outlines somethings for the contestants:
"The object of the next round is to find the RED CRYSTAL! But, before you do, you have to find someone you know. YOU have to find them. They can't find you... mostly because after we snatched them we stuck them in a cell somewhere. Once you find them... and FREE them... they become your partner for the rest of the game!"
Will ICE find the person she knows? Well... yeah. |
|
| SMACKDOWN ROUND 3: "Just Friends-Part 2" blubeetle3 Smackdown 2008/9/7 16:02 2890 4

|
| SMACKDOWN ROUND 2: "Oh, How Wrong You Are!" blubeetle3 Smackdown 2008/8/17 18:36 2433 5
Poor Ice just can't catch a break!
First, it was getting surprised in the shower. Then, getting groped by a drunk. Then, having an egg think he was on the New York subway!
This little muppet-looking dude should be safe. Right? |

This one's for you, bud! |

Morphette Cat (MROAW!) explains the way things work in the Superhero Smackdown. She also still has a soft spot for Blue Beetle and, as a result, shows Ice a little compassion. (Plus, she might be angling to get into Ice's pants! ) |
|
| SMACKDOWN ROUND 1.5: "It's Show(er)time!" blubeetle3 Smackdown 2008/7/26 22:46 3078 6
Of all the ways to find out that you've been chosen to participate in the SUPERHERO SMACKDOWN, the worst possible for a shy heroine has to be being surprised when taking your morning shower!
Poor Ice!
It seems that surprising contestants in a state of undress is the modus operandi of the Morphettes this year. |
|
| Smackdown3: "NICE is Just One Letter Away From ICE!" blubeetle3 Smackdown 2008/7/17 14:33 3266 10
Since she's back from the dead (Thanks, Gail!), Tora Olafsdotter will be joining this year's Superhero Smackdown!...God, help her! Ladies (the one or two of you on this site!) and gentlemen (again, the one or two of you on this site), Norway's Sweetheart...ICE!
Gee, I wonder if sweet, innocent little Ice is really ready for the ribald debauchery that Smackdown devolves into every year.
That's right! I'm popping the cherry on this year's Superhero Smackdown! Setting the tone, so to speak.
EDIT: At Masterchief's "request" (i.e. ORDER is more like it! JEEZ! Make a guy a "Mod" and it goes straight to his head!), I've updated the Smackdown pinup with info regarding Ice.

| The Big Three - CHARLTON STYLE! blubeetle3 DC Comics 2008/6/14 15:47 2453 5
Charlton Comics had a lot of "Action Heroes", but, these three are the best known: Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, and the Question. In 1984, DC Comics bought most of Charlton's characters and incorporated them into their line after "Crisis on Infinite Earths".
Sad to realize that all three of these characters are now considered "dead" by DC. |
|
| A League of Their Own blubeetle3 DC Comics 2008/6/11 19:41 4168 13
C'mon, we've all indulged in the idle speculation: "If you build your own Justice League, who would be in it?"
Blue Beetle, a man of taste with an eye toward beauty, answers that question! And what an answer it is! |
|
| SUPERHERO SMACKDOWN Round 3: "Going Off-Script" blubeetle3 Smackdown 2007/9/30 19:43 2888 6

|
| SUPERHERO SMACKDOWN Round 3: "Where on Earth is BLACK BEETLE?!" blubeetle3 Smackdown 2007/9/30 16:51 2546 3
Black Beetle's right, y'know! Not about SMACKDOWN. About the GOTHAM KNIGHTS!!! They have a "shutdown defense"! |
|
| SUPERHERO SMACKDOWN Round 2: "Mindgames Part 4" blubeetle3 Smackdown 2007/8/26 20:01 2733 9
Who says you have to be psychic to play mindgames?
Here we see Black Beetle use technology, hope, and outright lying to mess with poor ol' Tex Mason's mind!
...And now you know the reason why Tex Mason MUST win a race! |
|
| SUPERHERO SMACKDOWN Round 2: "It's a Small World, Afterall" blubeetle3 Smackdown 2007/8/19 11:46 2753 8
Hmmm... Not sure if Mindwave put the mental image in everyone's mind or if she just told everyone, but, her nickname for Virtue seems to have stuck!
And again, poor Black Beetle gets the blame! Someone loses their pants in battle? BEETLE'S FAULT! A dress suddenly appears on someone else? BEETLE'S FAULT! It's not like Beetle controls Mindwave or anything! YEEESH!
Anyone ever consider that Matrixblur has reality altering abilities? BLAME HIM FOR A CHANGE! |

| SUPERHERO SMACKDOWN Round 2: "Mindgames Part 3" blubeetle3 Smackdown 2007/8/18 3:46 2522 2
After Mindwave and Mary Marvel's little meeting -nudge, nudge, wink, wink - Mindwave finds Beetle and delivers news that sickens him (although he was feeling a might queasy already after Googling "Neilrok"!). |
