Yay! I'm so glad almost all my favorites with be there next round!
I do wish Christina Alexandrova had done better, though. I guess it had something to do with her becoming prominent in the transitional period between the end of Loebs' run and the beginning of Waid's.

We are probably going to end up doing a Wild Card Round soon, as we have reached a point where we have an odd number of remaining characters. I need even numbers so we have two characters left in the last round.
Top 21
Abra Kadabra
Big Sir
Captain Boomerang
Captain Boomerang II
Captain Cold
Dr. Alchemy
Golden Glider
Gorilla Grodd
Magenta
Mirror Master
Mirror Master II
Peek-a-Boo
Pied Piper
Professor Zoom
Rainbow Raider
The Shade
The Thinker (Golden Age)
The Top
The Turtle (Golden Age)
Trickster I
Weather Wizard
Scale is still 1-10 (1 being the least amount of points, and 10 the most).

Where were all these Magenta fans in the Titans Idol?!? Not that it will probably make much difference, but Top 20ish is about as far as I'm willing to support Frances considering I don't think of her a "Flash Villain". So it's going to be "1"s for you from now on, Frances. Sorry! I still love you! Meanwhile, Rainbow Raider's pleasingly successful journey in this game so far seems like it's about to come to a sudden stop.  A vote against the Rainbow Raider is a vote against love!

To be fair, different pool of characters. Magenta was decently liked in Titans Idol but just eclipsed by others

To be fair, different pool of characters. Magenta was decently liked in Titans Idol but just eclipsed by others First, Magenta has a distinct advantage in this one because of the general lack of female villains in Flash. Of course there are the notable exceptions of the Golden and Modern Ages (which probably says something about the roles of women the 1940s and today, but that is for another thread). Second, she has really useful powers that can be a threat to Flash. Third, she has a tragic background in that she started out at least neutral.

All of those things are so true, Emily! I find her history with Wally particularly interesting, too. Like, if we did "Wally West Love Interest Idol" she'd rank high for me for the DRAMA of it all. So would Raven, actually....

She placed 40 out of 188. Here's the thread, linked to the results summary. She placed above Supergirl, Kid Devil, Speedy (Mia), among others.

Tsk, it is a shame that so many voters conspired to make a certain Titan dominate every round Blacula

I did a pretty good job of it with Kinetix in Multiverse Legion Idol and Kole in the aforementioned Titans Idol, but people wised up to it when I tried with Doctor Light (Kimiyo) in JLIdol...  Kidding aside, my Idol games had very different mechanics (which Emily knows as she played in JLIdol). Below is a quote from my games: Round 3 begins!
Since we only have 35 Titans left, please rank your Top 15 Titans!
This round will end in 2 days - the morning of Friday, PST (that's Friday evening my time).
Points will be given as follows:
Rank - Points
1 - 120
2 - 95
3 - 75
4 - 60
5 - 45
6 - 35
7 - 30
8 - 25
9 - 20
10 - 16
11 - 12
12 - 8
13 - 5
14 - 3
15 - 1
Bottom 15 go home, bringing us down to 20!
I believe Kinetix and Kole won their respective Idols because: a) I always kept them as #1 on my own votes, giving them a big number of points b) they had just enough support from other voters. Kinetix was the last Postboot character standing, so other Postboot fans naturally gravitated towards her, for example (8 votes vs. 6 for Preboot Imra and 5 for Preboot Val; having two Preboot characters in the final round led to the Preboot fans' votes being split!). Kole beat Flamebird and Wally in Titans with 4 votes, to 3 each for the other two, so it was very close! Emily's format is very different as you are not limited in how many characters you can vote for per round, nor is the point system as restrictive.

Sorry I have not calculated the results yet, I will try to get to it by tomorrow. I hope everyone is enjoying the LMB anniversary celebration. I'll see if Captain Cold can pick us up an ice cream cake for this thread.

The winner of this one is the musical Pied Piper. This makes me slightly happy as it reminds me how close I was to getting the Music Maestro onto the Bat-villain Idol. Maybe Pied Piper provided some inspiration to the writers?
Top 21 Results
Pied Piper 56 100%
Gorilla Grodd 52 93%
Professor Zoom 51 91%
The Shade 50 89%

Peek-a-Boo 39 70%
Close to Being Eliminated
Rainbow Raider 38 68%
Captain Cold 37 66%
The Thinker (Golden Age) 37 66%
The Top 34 61%
Eliminated This Round
Captain Boomerang II 32 57%
Mirror Master 32 57%
Big Sir 31 55%
Captain Boomerang 31 55%
Dr. Alchemy 27 48%
As we are still miraculously at an even number or remaining character (16 total), next round will continue as the previous one. I expect to begin the next round tonight or tomorrow evening.

A bit surprised that we lost Mirror Master AND Captain Boomerang! And that Captain Cold was almost lost too. I always assumed THE Rogues would be topping this game.
Sad to see Big sir go, he was hilarious.
Happy that Piper is doing so well despite having more or less reformed. Also happy to see Grodd doing so well.

WOW the rogues got decimated. I'm also surprised.
Maybe I wasn't doing my diligence keeping them on the board? OR maybe we just aren't as enamored as Geoff Johns with them...
YAY for PIPER! Always an underused fave!

>whistles< I thought Mirror Master wouldn't be far off winning it. Boomerang, like so many others, I think I liked him best from Suicide Squad. But still very surprised to see him go out.
Of those that are left, I think Peekaboo is the only one I'm not familiar with.

Never actually read a story with Peek-a-boo in it either, but her profile makes her out to be quite a sympathetic character.
