How to nominate?

 * To nominate a character, a user must include their name, picture, and series in their post.
 * All characters must originate from /co/ media: Western animation and Comics
 * Each valid nomination must garner at least nine (9) 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
TBD
 * All male /co/ characters (except those listed under "Excluded characters" shown below)
 * Any character that was allowed or has appeared in past Mr. /co/lympus tournaments (Grandfather Clause)
 * Characters can be any age
 * 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 three (3) 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.
 * Exceptions: Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Disney core universe characters + related series (Mickey, Oswald, Goofy, and Donald, etc.)

Restrictions

 * Any character that is clearly not /co/ is not allowed (e.g. /a/nime and live action shows)
 * /v/ideo game characters that did not originate from /co/ media are not allowed
 * Real-life politicians that are portrayed as cartoon characters / caricatures are not allowed, satirical or otherwise.
 * No /mlp/ characters
 * No Board-tans
 * No "OC donut steels"
 * No meme creations (e.g. Virgin vs Chad)
 * One-Month Old Clause: Any character debuting from the 1st of the previous month to the start date are inelligible.
 * Grandfather Clause: Any character that has previously made it into Ms. /co/ or Mr. /co/lympus tournaments is eligible to participate.
