Mr. /co/lympus 2019 was the second edition of the annual Mr. /co/lympus competition and the fourth overall character tournament. This is the first tournament hosted by the user stats anon !l0rbLHJjBY. The competition ran from October 6 until October 14, and featured 445 nominees fighting for a spot in the 128-man single-elimination bracket.

Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove won the competition after blowing out Billy and Mandy's Grim in the final match by a score of 354-212. With this victory, Kronk affirmed /co/'s preference for buff, muscular men, and succeeded Johnny Bravo as the second man to enter the /co/lympian Pantheon.

How to nominate?

 * To nominate a character, a user must include their name, picture, and series in their post.
 * All characters must either originate from /co/ media: Western animation and comics (including webcomics), or have a substantial amount of /co/-related material.
 * Each valid nomination must garner at least five (5) replies in order to qualify for the contest. These replies are only counted if they are all within a single thread, and do NOT carry over to other threads.

Eligible Nominees

 * All male /co/ characters (except those listed under "Excluded characters" shown below)
 * Any character that was allowed in past Mr. /co/lympus tournaments
 * Any character that has plenty of /co/ material besides the series' original media (e.g. Godzilla, Star Wars: The Clone Wars)
 * Puppets (e.g. Muppets, Sesame Street)
 * Generalization Statute: Multiple versions of the same character --- be it from various adaptations, spin-off series, or alternative universes --- are combined into a single entrant. In other words, you are voting for the entire history of that character, not just one particular iteration.
 * Example:   Zatanna (DC Comics, Young Justice, DC Super Hero Girls, etc.)
 * Character Limit: Each series can only have a maximum of five (5) guys in the main bracket. These are decided by their votes in the qualifying poll. However, there is no restriction on the number of guys that can be nominated from a single series.
 * Exemptions: Marvel Comics and DC Comics

Restrictions

 * Any character that is clearly not /co/ is not allowed (e.g. /a/nime and live action shows)
 * No /mlp/ characters
 * No Board-tans
 * No "OC donut steels"
 * No meme creations
 * No traps (e.g. Princess Marco)
 * One-Month Old Clause: Any character making their first appearance from September 1, 2020 and later are ineligible.
