General Grievous

General Grievous is a major antagonist featured in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. He first appeared in Genndy Tartakovsky's 2003 TV series Star Wars: Clone Wars (a "micro-series" consisting mostly of 3-minute episodes), before making his live-action debut as a computer-generated character in the 2005 film Revenge of the Sith. Grievous later appears as a major villain in the 2008 CGI TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. In most of his appearances, Grievous is depicted as an alien cyborg general who harbors an intense hatred towards the Republic, and is dreaded for his multi-armed lightsaber skills (despite being Force-insensitive), strategic abilities, and killing many Jedis. He develops an arch-rivalry towards Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of the strongest Jedis in the galaxy.

Grievous is one of the most popular characters in Mr. /co/lympus tournaments not just from the series' mainstream popularity, but because of his highly distinctive and meme-able traits, which also makes him a popular subject of many fan-arts. He has competed in four editions since 2018. Grievous made his first Elite Eight appearance in 2021, going on to become the champion after beating Samurai Jack, Marvin, and Hank Hill in the last three rounds. Because of his victory, he is ineligible for future Mr. /co/lympus tournaments.

Tournament History
Grievous first appeared in the inaugural Mr. /co/ntest in 2018, losing in the first round to Spider-Man. The alien general rose to prominence in Mr. /co/lympus 2019 when he famously defeated Mao Mao as a #117 seed, before going on to defeat Marvin and Eddy to reach the Sweet 16. His dark horse run ended after losing to eventual champion Kronk. Grievous' entire run in 2019 was very successful not only in terms of results, but also because he received many OC pieces from drawfags. The general's seed then improved to #38 in Mr. /co/lympus 2020, placing him in Bracket H -one of the deadlier groups because of the presence of two Elite Eight guys (JJJ and Shaggy). Unfortunately for him, he faced JJJ in the second round, and ended up becoming an early casualty as he fell by 19 votes.
