You asked for more “Draft” episodes, and we listened! After building our dream Justice Leagues and assembling our favorite Avengers, it’s finally time to embrace our inner supervillains! Join The Irredeemable Shag, Brett Young, Chris Franklin, Paul Kien, Sean Ross, and John Steib for an epic DC villain draft as they battle to build the ultimate LEGION OF DOOM!

The rules are simple… sort of:

• 7 villains per team
• Snake draft format
• Round 1: Draft one of the founding members of the classic Challenge of the Super Friends Legion of Doom. Choose wisely, because once a villain is selected, every incarnation and legacy of that character is off the board for everyone else. And all of the remaining classic Legion of Doom members who were not chosen are eliminated from the draft!
• Rounds 2–6: Any other DC villain is fair game!
• Final Round: Everyone gets a unique incarnation of Lex Luthor to complete their team.

Then YOU get to decide which team deserves to rule the DC Universe! After listening, check out the visual rosters, and then vote for your favorite Legion of Doom team in the comments on this post. One lucky commenter will win a FREE T-shirt from the Fire & Water Podcast Network merch store!

SPOILER ALERT – After listening, check out the visual representations of each of our teams here:

THE FANTASTIC POUR

Brett welcomes Pop Culture Basement host Mike Jamison to the Fantasti-Lounge for a new edition of the Fantastic Pour! We talk Green Arrow, layer a black and tan, and read Green Arrow #81.  Join us in the Fantasti-Lounge as we discuss if Oliver Queen is the John McClane of the DC Universe, the best black and tan spoon usage, watching cable at your aunt’s house, a Philadelphia therapy session, and much, much more!

Secret Pour-igins: Black and Tan

Cocktail: Black and Go Birds

Ingredients (per drink):

• 12oz can of Guiness
• 12oz can or bottle of Yards Pale Ale
• 1 Pint Glass
• 1 metal spoon

Instructions (per drink)

First, pour the Yards Pale Ale directly into the bottom of the glass, this will release enough carbonation to create a little foamy head. Fill the glass halfway. Let it settle for a minute. Then place a spoon rounded-side up inside the glass, with the tip of the spoon pressed against the edge of the glass. Open the Guiness and slowly, carefully pour the stout over the spoon so it fans out over the edges of the spoon. This allows the Guiness to settle on top of the Yards Pale Ale in an even layer, creating a divided black and tan. You can buy a special black and tan spoon, or even bend a regular spoon back so you can fit it inside the glass, but any relatively flat spoon will work.

Comic: Green Arrow vol.2 #81, DC Comics, 1993
