Make your vote count!

and the winner is....The Doctor!

That's right. Like there was ever any doubt to the Whovians out there, but The DOCTOR has soundly defeated Captain Jack, he actually beat him by a higher margin than he beat John Connor. Those poor humans don't know what hit them.

So the Doctor has made it into the finals, who will be his opponent, The Crow or Jayne Cobb; Firefly's resident thug!

THE CROW! He gave a sound beating the Punisher on his way to the next round of the First Annual Vinyl & VILLAINS Pop Culture Smackdown Tournament!!

The Crow vs The Punisher

This is the third match up in Round One of the Vinyl & VILLAINS Pop Culture Smackdown Tournament. Here is how the combatants match up.

He is reborn one year later and systematically hunts down and kills his murderers before returning to the afterlife. Draven is invulnerable as long as the bird is alive.

The Punisher is driven by the deaths of his family, who were killed by the mob when they witnessed a gangland execution in New York City's Central Park, the Punisher wages a one-man war on the mob and all criminals in general by using all manner of weaponry. His family's killers were the first to be slain. A war veteran, Castle is a master of martial arts, stealth tactics, guerilla warfare and a wide variety of weapons.
