Contest of Champions (CoC) Episode #18: Beta Ray Bill vs. Exodus

Welcome to the Contest of Champions (CoC) Podcast, Episode #18! CoC is an interactive player vs. player game where your favorite Marvel characters go head to head to answer the eternal question of “who can beat whom in a fight?”
Join Jeff Jackson and Ian Johnson every week as they welcome two team managers who have a stable of five characters each ready to blast, zap, snikt, thwip, and smash their way to be the last one standing! It’s a little bit fan fiction, a little bit debate, a little bit role playing, and a whole bunch of fun! It’s an interactive adventure for the managers, and for the ComicAttack.net community.
After a longer than expected hiatus due to holidays and technical difficulties, the guys are back and ready to talk comics! This week, we’re joined by Eli Anthony, Tom McNeely, and Infinite Speech!

    Figures.. the only one I didn’t participate in is the one that “took”, lol.

    This week’s intro is brought to you by my lovely wife, who makes fun of me every time I record it.

      @Jeff
      Glad you’re getting more family participation.
      “Special Cameo by Mrs. Comic-book-Clergyman”

        All are welcome to add the intro! Feel free to leave a voicemail at 706-761-0115 and I’ll put it in.

  3. Andy

    @Geek… same here.

    Both of you sabotaged the other episodes. 🙂

    1. Jeff

      You mean the whole game or just this match? 🙂

    Bill is going to win. For one, his name is INFINITELY cooler!

    For two he has a hammer.

    For three, if Exodus is getting the upper hand, Bill just smashes the whole island and sends it toward Exodus in the form of earthen shrapnel.

    Well, that or an arm wrestling contest.

  6. Moses

    I think Bill has this fight. He’s got an extensive record of defeating powerful foes. He’s got the experience of going toe-to-toe with some of the most powerful beings in the marvel Universe. While Exodus is no slouch, I can’t see him defeating Bill. Hasn’t Exodus been defeated by the X-Men? Who have no Odin-imbued powers? And show me some big-time foes that Exodus has taken down? Anyone… anyone…?

    Vote Beta Ray Bill.
