Pick a category, any category, and list your top 10.
Feel free to give as little or as much explanation why.
You can do a category already posted, or make your own.
Post as many top 10 lists as you like.
Since I just beat Arkham Origins recently, and they were already scraping the bottom of the barrel ("So who've we got next? Copperhead? Even I'm bored now." "It's okay, we gave him boobs." "Nice.") :
Top 10 Villains I want to see in the next Arkham Game
1. Jason Todd (Red Hood) - Arkham City touched upon Nightwing and Tim Drake. Bringing Jason Todd in the mix could provide some good backstory moments.
2. Man-Bat - They keep hinting at Man-Bat. He had a profile in the first two games, and Alfred in the third keeps talking about a giant bat in the batcave. It would be a cool side-boss to go back to the Batcave to find it under attack by a giant winged monster.
3. Maxie Zeus - They've hinted at him in previous games, and there could be a level where you have to go through a Greek style temple and beat guards dressed as centurions, all while avoiding a lightning-spewing machine while Maxie spouts insane rhetoric about how "a god am he."
4. Royal Flush Gang - There could be a fun stealth mission where the RFG is flying around on playing cards and you still have to somehow take them down, culminating in a fight against the Ace Android which follows the more brute-style boss battles in Arkham.
5. Dracula - There could easily be a vampire-themed sidequest involved with Batman taking down a foe who's as strong as the monster bosses he faces but even more stealthy than he is.
6. Spectre - Perhaps not as an actual villain, but puts Batman through another nightmare sequence. Either he tries to force Batman to take a step farther than he wants to go as far as bringing criminals to justice, or he's enacting vengeance on Batman on behalf of the criminals he puts away nightly.
7. Etrigan - An actual demon would be something different. Sure he'd likely boil down to another brute monster boss fight, but there could be some interesting side stuff, especially if Morgan Le Fae or Klarion were to get involved.
8. Ventriloquist/Scarface - Scarface at least has cameo'd in previous games. If they can make Mad Hatter threatening, I'm sure they can do something with him.
9. Clock King - He could be a minor version of the Riddler. I'm sure the obvious timed missions would be horrendous, but then we could have the obligatory clock tower level.
10. Myxzsptlk/Bat-Mite - I love the trippy level sequences like Scarecrow, Mad Hatter, and Ras al Ghul from previous games. With these guys the trippy sequences wouldn't be illusions, they'd be the real deal.

Top Ten Comic Book TV Show Themes
So I generally have a hard time picking "favorites" in anything. My opinion can change based on my mood. So this list is generally how I feel, though the top spots could fluctuate at any given time.
Honorable Mentions
Pryde of the X-Men
It's awesome, but in more of a "so bad it's good" kinda way.
Spider-Man 60s
It might be blasphemy, but I don't love this theme. I recognize it's importance to pop culture, but it's just kinda meh.
10. Lois and Clark
The show had it's ups and downs. Looking back, it had some great moments and more wasted potential, but the theme is great. It's not the best Superman theme, but it's good.
9. Fleischer Superman
My earliest Superman memories come from my Dad's VHS copies of these shorts. Not sure if this technically falls under TV show, but it's my list so screw it. Just an epic theme where the music itself is saying, "Superman!" to you.
8. Iron Man
Some cheese, but I love the simplicity of it. And incorporating the strikes of the hammer on the anvil, and a great guitar solo, makes this one of my favs.
7. Teen Titans
This one is probably a love it or hate it kind of a theme, but I love it. Just great fun and stylish to go with the quirky cartoon.
6. Batman 66
Now unlike Spider-Man, this is iconic AND awesome! Not much else to say.
5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
It tells you everything you need to know about the show, even the fact that Michaelangelo is a party dude! This was my childhood.
4. The Tick
An offbeat song for an offbeat show. This is just so damn catchy. It tells you nothing about the show or the character, yet is still so fitting.
3. Batman The Animated Series
Some of you are probably wondering how this is #3 and not higher. Well, I love it. It was tough placing these top 3. And while this is practically perfect for Batman, there's more to come.
2. X-Men
This is the show that got me into comics. While I had the Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told and some random Batman comics my Dad had gotten me, this show made me go out and spend my allowance on comics myself. And this theme is just epic. It never lets up with the awesome. Heck, it's so awesome the X from the logo explodes.
1. The New Batman/Superman Adventures
Unusual pick, perhaps. I never see this brought up anywhere TV themes are discussed except by me. It was when Timm and co. went back to do the revamped season 4 of Batman and they aired Superman and Batman episodes in a block together. This theme just sent chills up my spine when I first heard it. While TAS might be the perfect Batman theme, this theme just perfectly goes back and forth between Batman and Superman, capturing their differences and similarities. It's both haunting and hopeful and is at this moment my favorite.

Top 10 New 52 Series
10. Justice League United (0- ): In only four issues, I've been completely drawn into this new series by Jeff Lemire and Mike McKone. The new Blue/Gold-like bromance between Green Arrow and Animal Man is hilarious, and the characterization is wonderful. But despite the emphasis on humor, Lemire never forgets drama in this title, most notably in last issue's (#3's) cliffhanger ending. McKone's an incredible artist and I can't wait to read more JLU. This has the possibility of even going higher on my list once it gets more issues under its belt.
9. The Flash (0- ): The first run by Brian Buccelatto (did I spell that right?) and Francis Manapul never forgot to be fun, even in its darkest moments. While the story itself wasn't fantastic, and there were some odd (if interesting) missteps (giving the Rogues powers?), the art more than made up for any downfalls as the duo experimented with the comic book format in ways I've never seen before. Now, the title appears to be under the able (if slightly grimmer) hands of Robert Venditti. Van Jensen, and Brett Booth. Although there's been some controversy behind their run (half-black Wally West), I think it's off to a good start.
8. Justice League (0- ): This title had a horribly rough start. It was a little fun, and the art by Jim Lee was gorgeous, but the first two arcs of Justice League were a bit of a drag. And then Throne of Atlantis and Ivan Reis came in, and everything picked up. Since then, I've enjoyed every issue of DC's flagship title.
7. Red Hood and the Outlaws (0-18, 30- ): This was my biggest surprise in the New 52. Going in, I expected to be mildly amused by the gorgeous art by Kenneth Rocafort and the obvious grim story with a team of an apparently violent alien, ex-drug addict, and bloodthirsty vigilante. Boy was I wrong! Despite the first issue's blatant sexism in its depiction of Starfire, the title quickly picked up and turned out to be one of the New 52's only truly fun titles. Its totally unexpected tones and story telling devices (Jason's mystic background, Outlaws in space) provided the perfect outlet for Scott Lobdell's crazy ideas. In all of the New 52, this was Lobdell's only title that I could stand, but it was enough. His heartfelt moments (issue 18 stands out to me) and wonderful characterization made his departure saddening, and even moreso when James Tynion failed horribly with the title. Luckily, starting in issue 30, Will Pfeiffer picked up the title and it regained its energy, and now with the latest issue, Lobdell is back on board. I can't wait for more!
6. Batman Eternal (1- ): This weekly series has killed it for me. While Futures' End couldn't do anything for me (I dropped it after issue 3), Batman Eternal has kicked ass! I've enjoyed every issue but one, and that was entirely because of the horrible art. Eternal is proving to lay the ground for the future of all Bat stories, and I'm excited to read the rest of the title!
5. Earth 2 (0- ): Holy hell, this title kicks ass! While I certainly thinks it's lost its way a bit under the hands of Tom Taylor, Earth 2 has consistently been one of DC's strongest titles since it debuted in May 2012. Nicola Scott's art is incredible, and the characters are endearing. James Robinson's original run provided a world completely unlike the New 52 without its Trinity. This left a whole in the world that eventually (should have been) was filled by Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, and Kendra Saunders. It was a world where SPOILERS Superman was the enemy, and a man named Zod had to stop him. In one single title, in 25 issues, a whole world had been built up. It truly is one hell of a title.
4. Aquaman (0- ): This title made Aquaman bad ass again. The seminal run by Geoff Johns made the aquatic warrior king one of my favorite DC characters, and provided a new dense mythology for Arthur and Atlantis. Even under the new hands of Jeff Parker and Paul Pelletier (who did draw for a little in Geoff's run), the title has been fantastic! Enough good things can not be said about this title! Check it out!!!
3. Green Arrow (17- ): This title sucked to start out. I mean it REALLY sucked. But from issue 17 onwards when new creative team Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino jumped on board, the title became the #1 must-read series of the New 52. Sure, this isn't your father or mother or even grandparent's GA, but he's a hell of a great character. Its dark, grim and gritty, but in the best ways, and GA never forgets to add a little humor. The new mythology, strengthened Rogues Gallery, characterization and art are certainly the stand outs of the series, and without a doubt Ollie has never been more human. He's beaten and broken but continues to stand up and follow his morals. The intro Diggle is just all too amazing! And then there's Emiko! Oh, Emiko! She may be a bit of a Damian clone, but she's so unintentionally funny and awesome! If you haven't read this (with maybe the exception of adrini; this isn't for you), check it out!
2. Wonder Woman (0- ): Words can not express how awesome and epic and creepy and just genuinely awesome this title is! Seriously, it's incredible, and made me care for a character I was at best apathetic towards in the past--Wonder Woman. Look at any forum, and website, and you'll see that Wonder Woman is easily the most critically acclaimed title of the New 52. There's a reason why.
1. Batman (0- ): This title is consistently number 1 on the comic book sales charts for a reason. Scott Snyder has brought Batman into the New 52, and arguably a new era, with incredible power and energy. In addition, I can't explain how amazing Greg Capullo's art is! While some arcs can be a bit drawn out (Zero Year), every story has its weight and honestly it's just fucking awesome! The Court of Owls is probably the coolest new Batman villain since Harley Quinn, and Zero Year almost perfectly modernizes the Batman origin story. Honestly, as a (relatively) new reader, I enjoy Zero Year more than Year One. Snyder knows how to perfectly tell an epic yet personal story with Batman, and he never forgets Batman's detective roots (like coughNolancough). Maybe you'll hate it; maybe you'll love it like me, but everyone should check out Snyder's Batman run.

Post by DiscipleofBob on Jul 22, 2014 22:37:41 GMT -5
Good lists. Tons of nostalgia in those themes. I barely remember Pryde of the X-Men. If I did a Top Ten themes mine would probably be similar, though I'd have to make room for Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, and X-Men Evolution. Interesting picks for the New 52. I'd given up on most of the new lines, but I do have to agree with Wonder Woman. It's not the direction I would've wanted (obviously) but I do at least appreciate the heavy mythology influence of that line. Now for a Top Ten not related to comics to change things up... The next Super Smash Bros is coming out soon, and I love trying to guess who will be the next big release. I don't know if there will be any more new characters as there are a lot already: (Animal Crossing Villager, Mega Man, WiiFit Trainer, Rosalina, Little Mac, Greninja, Palutena, Pac-Man, Mii Fighters, Lucina, Robin) But there are always a few characters I can think of left... 10. Isaac (Golden Sun) I only played the first game in this RPG series and I honestly wasn't too impressed, but I can't deny that the elemental-manipulating Isaac would be fun character. Able to summon djinn spirits, manipulate the four elements and combinations thereof. And he has the requisite swordsman skills to put up a decent physical game, though probably compounded by magic-enhanced strikes. Maybe he can summon djinns like Rosalina's star or Olimar's Pikmin, and depending on the element of the djinn his other abilities get slightly different attributes. It's not like there isn't precedent, since he already appeared as an assist trophy in Brawl. 9. Bowser Jr (Super Mario Sunshine) As much as I hate clones, a lighter, smaller, faster Bowser could be kind of cool. It could even incorporate the paintbrush or the Shadow Mario form from Super Mario Sunshine, or maybe Bowser Jr just summons Bullet Bills and other minions. As a Final Smash, since Bowser has the Giga Bowser form, maybe Bowser Jr can finally use the flying clown copter (or as I like to call it, the ROFLcopter). 8. Lloyd Irving (Tales of Symphonia) Tales of Symphonia came around at a time when the Gamecube desperately needed some life poured into it, specifically the RPG genre in which it was sorely lacking. Symphonia more than delivered with a wonderful combination of traditional JRPG mechanics and real-time combat. The combat was even already Smash Bros-like, with different attacks being assigned to B, B>, B^, etc. The best would be if they could get the original voice actor, who was the same as Robin from Teen Titans. I have to admit a lot of my enjoyment in the game came from playing as Robin. 7. Grim Reaper (Kid Icarus) I tried to think outside the box for some of these. One thing I've always noticed was the lack of villains, or at least it seems so. I thought about King K. Rool, but decided he wasn't appealing. I probably could have gone with Medusa or the King of the Underworld, but honestly I haven't played the 3DS Kid Icarus, just the old NES game, and the Grim Reaper is damned memorable, getting his own theme song every time he shows and being a general pain. Some liberties with his moveset such as summoning flying minions and some cool scythe work would make for a fun character. 6. Zoroark (Pokemon 5th Gen) I could fill this entire list with Pokemon that'd be easy to figure out and fun to play as, but out of all of them, Zoroark stands out just a bit more. First of all, we already have reps of 1st, 4th, and 6th Gen. A 5th Gen rep would be nice. But the real reason I think Zoroark would be interesting is his ability to disguise himself in an illusion. Not sure how practical it would be, but a shapeshifting character who copies his opponents, but still has his own movesets would be kind of cool. 5. Sceptile (Pokemon 3rd Gen) I tried to narrow this down to one character per franchise, but the last entry and this guy are just too perfect. We already have Charizard (1st Gen Fire Starter) and Greninja (6th Gen Water Starter), and with remakes of Ruby and Sapphire on the way, rounding out the set with a Grass starter is only appropriate. Sceptile's even getting a Mega form in the newest game too. 4. Krystal (Starfox) The Starfox series needs more love, but we definitely don't want any more clones and really, who else is there? Slippy Toad? With Krystal you could avoid the clone factor by giving her the staff from Starfox Adventures. For all the swordsmen, casters, and ninjas present in Brawl, we don't really have a staff fighter. Unless you count Palutena now, but I'm thinking more the acrobatic twirling kind of fighting, with maybe some dinosaur summoning because why the hell not? 3. Ridley (Metroid) Another series that's underrepresented is Metroid, now only having Samus and Zero Suit Samus. To be fair, it's not like there's a wide choice between giant monsters and weird bug-things. The only metroid iconic enough that can be scaled down to Smash level is Ridley. Giant fire-breathing pteranodon monster? Yes please. He's kind of overdue at this point. 2. Crono (Chrono Trigger) The only obvious franchise missing from Brawl is Final Fantasy, but honestly it's kind of impossible to pick an appropriate character from one of the FF games that's not either too obscure or not even having an appearance on a Nintendo console. But Chrono Trigger is an SNES classic. It occurs to me that of all our swordsmen in SSB, we don't really have a katana user. Crono could be a perfect complement with lighting-quick swordplay supplemented with lightning magic, and be a good representative for Square. 1. Geno (Super Mario RPG) I know it's not going to happen, and I honestly can't explain my fascination with the character other than he comes from one of the greatest video games of all time, one that makes a lot of interesting additions to the Mario mythos that are sadly never seen or heard from again. I would play a game with just Geno, Star Warrior in the body of a doll taking on the militant forces of Smithy. He'd definitely fit in as a character with his own unique style. I imagine him being one of the only characters with ranged attacks as his basic physicals, with B specials that are powered by charging. It would be nice for Nintendo to acknowledge that this game and its characters existed, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm not even sure who technically owns the characters from Super Mario RPG, since it was a Nintendo-Square collab.

Zoroark shouldn't be his own character. Zoroark should just be an option for a random character, maybe with a custom color or something.

Now that Dob has broken the ice with a non-comics related Top 10, I'm going to continue the trend. Let's see if any football-savvy fans out there can weigh in on the
TOP 10 NFL Quarterbacks EVER:
Honorable Mentions:
Fran Tarkenton - Besides leading his team to the Big Dance 3 times in the first 11 years after the Super Bowl was created, he could never pull it out, and that's really brought him down a notch on the overall list. But, let it be known, he is a damned good Quarterback and a threat no defense wanted to play come Sundays in the 1970's.
Aaron Rodgers - Despite being the most efficient passer in NFL history, Aaron Rodgers has proved that he doesn't have what it takes to elevate the lackluster supporting cast around him. He really needs a strong cast in order to take home a Lombardi, and that drops him some points on my list.
(Johnny Unites, Dan Marino, Colin Kapernick, Kurt Warner, Eli Manning)
10) "Big" Ben Roethlisberger
Seasons Played - 10 Rings - 2 (in 3 appearances)
Big Ben had the single greatest rookie campaign ever, coming in to replace an injured Tommy Maddox in Week 4 as the team was looking for a win to add onto their already impressive 2-1 start. Not only did Big Ben answer the call to arms, he went above and beyond to claim 13-0 in starts as a rookie, bring the team to a 15-1 record and carry them to the conference championship where they lost to Super Bowl champions New England Patriots. But, as though he wished to scoff at the notion of a "sophomore slump", Big Ben carried his team to a remarkable 13-3 campaign and road this exciting wave all the way to a (horribly officiated) Super Bowl victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Three years later, Big Ben returned to face off against Kurt Warner's Arizona Cardinals, narrowly defeating them. Two years later, Big Ben returned again, only this time he loses to Aaron Rodgers' Green Bay Packers. The Steeler's Reign ended there as they've only seen the playoffs in one of the following 3 campaigns. And despite all of this, he still falls to #10 because in 2010, the only Super Bowl he wasn't supported by a #1 defense or excellent running game, he couldn't pull it out and bring home the Lombardi Trophy.
9) Jim Kelly
Seasons Played 11 Rings - 0 (in 4 appearances)
What sets Jim Kelly apart from Fran Tarkenton, the perennial Super Bowl loser, and Big Ben, the two-time champion? Jim Kelly not only revived a dying franchise in the 1990-1993 Buffalo Bills, he also was the first Quarterback to prominently use the no-huddle offense, as well as annihilating the AFC to lead his team to a staggering FOUR consecutive Super Bowl appearances. While the first two matches against the Giants & Redskins were both thrillers, the two consecutive faceoffs against the Cowboys were both blowouts for the Cowboys, whose attack was led by another passer on this list. To recap, Jim Kelly changed the game and terrorized the league for FOUR consecutive seasons, a feat not likely to ever be matched again.
8) Drew Brees
Seasons Played - 13 Rings - 1 (in 1 appearance)
Drew Brees is just too much for words. After suffering a career ending shoulder injury while with the San Diego Chargers, Brees rehabilitated and signed with the Saints, becoming the single most prolific passer in NFL history. While guiding the Saints to their first Super Bowl, winning it against the Manning led Colts, and reviving a dying franchise, he also holds the bragging rights to four of the eight 5,000 Yard seasons by a quarterback. That's half of them all. And he was the 2nd person to do it. Followed by Stafford, then himself, then Rodgers, then himself, then himself again, then Manning. Marino was the only one to do it before him. That's just insane.
7) Brett Favre
Seasons Played - (1.7 Million...I think, I lost count around 400,000...) Rings - 1 (in 2 appearances)
The dude literally played forever. As I grew up, I heard his name every year. And then he retired, and I still heard his name cause he came back! But on top of the pure longevity of his career, he played extremely well for all billion years he played, proving to be a franchise passer as he almost led the Vikings to a Super Bowl appearances in 2009 over Brees' Saints. On top of that, he defeated the Patriots in 1996 in the Super Bowl (before the Bellichick/Brady Era) and then lost to John Elway. The fact that he played so well for so long is astounding, and it's a shame that Peyton Manning is bound to break all of his records.
6) Roger Staubach
Seasons Played - 11 Rings - 2 (in 4 appearances)
Really, Staubach was the 2nd ever "modern Quarterback", behind only Johnny Unitas. Staubach created what, almost universally, the world believes Michael Vick created: Scrambling. If it was 3rd & 31, down by 15 and someone threw a battleaxe into all of his receivers, Staubach didn't care--he got it done. The original comeback to run, throw and dive for every score out there until, when the dust settled, he never dealt with a losing campaign in his entire career. His only losses in the Super Bowl came to the phenomenal play of the 70's Steelers in two of the best Super Bowls ever played.
5) John Elway
Seasons Played - 16 Rings - 2 (in 5 appearances)
Well, Big John Elway certainly lived up to his hype of being the #1 overall pick. When people said John Elway would be one of the greatest there ever was, they meant it. John Elway took an otherwise abysmal team from a lackluster Quarterback, and led them to five Super Bowls (a feet only matched by Tom Brady in 2011), and he also accomplished what every other Quarterback only dreams about--going out on top. Finally capturing the Lombardi trophy in 1997, Elway called it quits...until he didn't! He returned for a second run at the Lombardi, and captured it, riding off into the sunset as the most successful member of the 1984 Quarterback Draft Class.
4) TIE Peyton Manning & Steve Young
Seasons Played - 16 & 14 Rings - 1 (in 3 appearances) & 1 (in 1 appearance)
This was a hard one for me. On one hand, by the time he retires (or snaps his neck again) Peyton Manning is almost guaranteed to have every single passing record ever thought of, and then some only Brett Favre knows about. But, on the other hand, Steve Young proved to be the most accurate passer the league had ever seen while also leading Quarterbacks all-time in rushing yards until Michael Vick broke that in 2012 against the Patriots. They are both Quarterbacks that can lead their team to a championship, and what really ties them up instead of pushing Peyton in front (and consequentially, Big Ben off the list) is the fact that a franchise ready Steve Young was forced to play heir apparent to Joe Montana. If Young had taken the reigns in 1987, would Steve Young hold 3 rings, maybe 4, and Montana only 2? While Peyton Manning has proven himself the greatest manager of talent and a prolific regular season passer, when it comes to the big games, or when he isn't stacked with talent all around him, he can't bring home a Lombardi. Ultimately, it's Manning's postseason shortcomings and Young's lack of play that tie them at 3.
3) Troy Aikman
Seasons Played - 11 Rings - 3 (in 3 appearances)
I'm a Cowboys fan at heart, and I always will be. The Triplets (Aikman, Irvin & Smith) will always be the dynasty that I grew up with. But that isn't why Aikman is ranked so high. Aikman is ranked so high for a few reasons, starting with the fact that he's the first Quarterback to win multiple Super Bowls with multiple different Head Coaches (the only other one being Big Ben). On top of that, in 11 short seasons, Aikman threw for 32,000+ yards. The 14 year-veteran Matt Hastleback can only pray for those numbers (or more playing time, for that matter). And, to cap it all off, he led the Cowboys to 3 Super Bowl victories in 4 years, only interrupted by Steve Young's Super Bowl victory in 1994.
2) Joe Montana
Seasons Played - 16 Rings - 4 (in 4 appearances)
Joe Montana is (one of) the only man to wear four Super Bowl Champion rings on his fingers (the other being Terry Bradshaw), and the only man with three Super Bowl MVP awards to his name. He revived a dying franchise in the 49ers, he fought for his starting job against Steve Young, he pulled out a win against one of the best defenses ever in Denver's Orange Crush, he never held a losing season, he was always in the top of the league in passing yards, rating, and every other category. And, on top of that, he was Roger Staubach reincarnated when it came to big wins in crucial moments. Thirty seconds left and down by 14? Not a problem, Joe Montana will throw you a pass that will not only score you 6 points, but it'll also somehow manage to score you that last 9 points to win the game. He certainly was amazing. But what puts him at #2 when he was so great? A big part is that he was aided but some amazing future HoFers in his Wide Receiver Corps (notably, Jerry Rice, the GOAT) and his O-Line. #1 was a victor without those factors.
1) Tom Brady
Seasons Played - 14 Rings - 3 (in 5 appearances)
Five appearances in the Super Bowl. The only other man to lead his team to so many Bowls was John Elway, and Elway lost more often than he won. Brady, on the other hand, took the team to a Super Bowl victory in his 1st year as a starter, took a season off from being a champion, and then came back to win two more times to become the second team to win 3 Big Ones in 4 years. And he won over some impressive teams as well. Kurt Warner's "The Greatest Show on Turf" in 2001, John Fox's Carolina Panthers (say what?!) who sported a powerful defense on par with the Legion of BOOM, and Donovan McNabb's Philadelphia Eagles who were...okay, so maybe he had one easy game in there. But, on top of that, he sports 2 NFL MVP awards and the only 16-0 regular season, only meeting his defeat on a last-second field goal to lose to Eli Manning's New York Giants. A rematch between those two teams came in 2011, only to see the Patriots fall once more to Manning's Giants. But, beyond that, he has captured 11 Division titles in 14 years and led his team to 3 consecutive Conference Championships TWICE, being 3-3 on those two drives combined. If the fate of the world came down to a football game with intergalactic overlords, I would chose Tom Brady as my Quarterback.
