#PollMondays: Which of these super people would win in a game of Risk?
We’re rolling out a new thing on the blog. It began as a new thing on our Twitter account: #PollMondays. People seemed to like it, so we’re going to do more of it! The premise for today’s poll is simple: if these super people sat down for a game of Risk, who do you think would win? To make things more interesting, we’ve taken out all of the obvious contenders for smarts and tactics, such as Batman, Professor X, Nick Fury, Brainiac, and basically anyone who can reliably see the future. Instead, we’re giving you big, beefy superheroes — known for their ability to punch other people in the face more than their ability to strategize (mostly). Vote away!
