It’s taken a bit longer to finish the Best of thanks to special events. In fact, I almost forgot to finish this look at the “One Panel of Pain”, mostly due to other events this week. And since I need to get back to at least one of those, we’re just going to get right back to the list.
The Best of

rounds 7-12
- Why not start with the Question kicking a trucker?
- Never wake Captain America when he’s dreaming about punching Hitler. He only got to do that once awake.
- The Fantastic Four, just before giving Dragon Man a fashion makeover.
- Batman faces his greatest threat yet, Shovel Man.
- Hank Pym doesn’t need superpowers to smack Hawkeye around.
- Snell would hurt me if I didn’t give a spot to Shang-Chi. Probably with the same method.
- Joker getting hit there is fun in any language. Except for the Joker.
- And my entry: Who knew the Masters of the Universe mini-comics could get that violent?
- How the Thing and Lockjaw play fetch.
- How Mr. Fantastic and the Red Ghost’s face play tag.
- How the Thing and Colossus play tag.
- Thor gives Ultron a little ventilation.
- I don’t know who the kid is but that’s got to leave a mark.
- And my entry: Not the preferred method to test a helmet.
- The Thing shows green no peace.
- He’s not into violet, either.
- Namor has a good reason to change barbers.
- Some supervillains wouldn’t survive a paperless society.
- I was worried we were going to go through this section without Hal Jordan abuse. It’s not a Best of FNF without it.
- Spidey goes dancing on Grey Hulk’s face.
- And my entry: Sadly, this won’t be on the DVD.
- Yay, drug dealer abuse! And by a hero OUT of costume. (He’s wearing clothes, just not his superhero costume.)
- Superman gets hammered, and I’m not talking about that scene in Superman 3.
- Thing punches a dinosaur. All you need to know.
- This explains the potholes.
- Conan secretly gets kickbacks from the local dentist.
- And my entry: More drug dealer abuse. Now it’s bookends.
- Batman likes punching people. Bad people, anyway.
- Adapt to this!
- Objection!
- And my entry: Apparently Tomax boosted Shockwave’s wallet, too.
- Told you he liked punching bad people.
- Just how bad does the Thing hate himself?
- Who says Wonder Woman doesn’t have strong villains? Granted she had to rip off Spider-Man for this one.
- Looks more like something you’d see in FLCL, actually.
- He never played with action figures as a kid, either.
- And my entry: When Kyle became Green Lantern to me.
This is a tough tournament to really get into. While there are plenty of “that one panel” moments, fights are better where they last a while. Still, this wasn’t the toughest tournament in Friday Night Fight history. That starts in the next edition of Best of FNF, when it’s time to play some fight music.
