Inspired by the recent Winter Games, Gargantua and FlyingIcarus will throw together 8 350 point teams from various parts of the world: USA, Canada, Russia, Africa & the Middle East, Asia, UK, Europe and Atlantis. They'll fight it out in single elimination for the ultimate gold medal.

Game 1: Atlantis vs. Asia

Game 2: UK vs. Middle East/Africa

Initiative : 6

My team:

Judge Dredd R 74
Psylocke V 45
Captain Britain V 121
Banshee E 77
Pyro E 35

"Bullox," Pyro says, "I ain't following Cap Britain as leader. No way, no how."

Psylocke takes out her psychic knife and prods Pyro, "Perhaps I can help convince you, Pyro?".

"I give, I give," he says.

"Besides, if I must follow my brother, surely you can."

"Right. Good job, Betts, that cut me to the quick. Now if we're done playing around," Captain Britain offers.

"I, for one, don't play around," Judge Dredd says, "We've got work to do. Justice to serve."

"Well, aren't you about as fun as a cow doing a jig," notes Banshee, "I'm just glad to offer some Irish spice into our Olympics mix. The UK would be dreadful boring without it ."

"Right," Captain Britain says, "And your worthy Irish contribution is duly noted. We're here to take on the African and Middle East team. Let's score big for the Queen and crown."

"...Your Queen...you mean? Your crown?" Banshee chides.

"Then let's score for our wonderful heritage and history...".

"Me grandad was a historian. Stole the best jewels in Liverpool he did. Til his partner caught up with him..." Pyro says.

"OK, OK...let's give it our all....for cricket..." he says calmly.

"Cricket?" Psylocke asks incredulously.

"Aye," Banshee says.

"I could get behind that," Judge Dredd answers.

"Hooray for cricket!" the team yells. And in that they find unity.

348 points

"Quite a team this is," Asp observed.

"Humans and your foolish obsession with games," Gorilla Grodd snorted.

"I didn't see you turning down the invitation to represent Gorilla City, though," Black Adam pointed out.

"I have my reasons," Grodd replied mysteriously.

"And that's precisely why we're going to keep any eye on you," the Black Panther said.

"Please," Storm pleaded, "can we not put aside our enmities for this brief period? Is that not what the Olympic spirit is all about?"

"Storm is right," T'Challa agreed.

"Yes," the Asp nodded. "For now."

Don't forget that we've got this one going as well...

Wow...did I not pick a map? DCB I guess...
