I'm curious to see which superhero or team shows up the most on everyone's list.... I thought Kurt said no superteams? |

I'm curious to see which superhero or team shows up the most on everyone's list.... I thought Kurt said no superteams? I think that's the case: "Team titles like The Avengers or the Justice League are ineligible (and, just to make this extra hard on myself, this includes team-ups of teams a la the old JLA/JSA stories)." |

So, Cei-U! , a team-up among three or more characters, like the original Kid Flash, Robin, and Aqualad team-up or the Batman, Robin, GL, GA, Black Canary team-up in B and B 100 would not qualify? Hate to be a pain, but just want to make sure. And, oh, what a great idea this one is, Kurt! Thanks! Under the modified rules, I would allow both entries. I wouldn't have originally, but I was persuaded to rethink it. There are a handful of exceptions (like the Batman/Superman team in #150), but otherwise all the B&B team-ups are eligible. Cei-U! Looking like everything but the Joker/Riddler/Man-Bat/R'as Ah Ghul team-ups would be eligible, then. |

At first I didn't get your reasoning here, but I assume you mean that since all four of those villains are normally associated with Batman, they wouldn't be eligible (Catwoman would fall in the same category, right? She was the co-star in one issue of B&B). I'd bet that Kurt would allow those, though, under the reasoning that, while associated with Batman, they are not associated in the context of being a partner. |

Whittling it down to 12 is real hard but fun!

Cei-U! I summon the line in the sand!

So the first Joker team-up in B&B 118 is out but the last Joker team-up in 191 is ok, because it came after the Joker's solo series? |

Cei-U! I summon the broad interpretation!

Hm, looking over these comments concerning whether a character had his/her own feature, I have to ask: that excludes Dum Dum Dugan, doesn't it?

Teams may be ineligible but their individual members are allowed, even if they've never had their own solo series. In such cases, the team title *is* the feature, So Dum Dum, as a member of the Howling Commandos, would qualify.
Cei-U! I summon the leeway!
