Tag: Irredeemable Shag

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:
