Mr. /co/lympus 2024 Gallery

The 7th edition of the annual Mr. /co/lympus tournament began on October 11th, 2024. All hosts from Ms. /co/ 2024 have returned to manage it. Per a vote taken the prior month, this tournament switched back to using seeded brackets over randomized brackets.

This year's Elite Eight managed to pull in five more newcomers and three returning characters. Both Courage and Squidward managed to return from their last runs in 2022, while Bugs Bunny squeezed back in for the first time since 2019. The five new additions this time were all fairly high profile, namely including Popeye the Sailor Man, Kermit the Frog, Peter Parker (AKA Spider-Man), The Joker, and SpongeBob SquarePants' primary antagonist Plankton. Notably, the first three had all been perfect Mr. /co/ attendees up until this point. This Elite Eight line-up was on the more surprising side for many anons, particularly with obvious returning favorites like Carl or Daffy Duck losing in the fourth round. Despite this, reception towards this line-up has been overall quite positive, with the main points of contention primarily being either SpongeBob having two spots in the line-up (over Eddy and Batman, who got close) or the Joker's inclusion being attributed in part to certain recent events.

As the tournament advanced, Spider-Man emerged as a clear favorite in the threads and began to do very well in tougher match-ups like Daffy or Popeye. In the end, he ended up being pitted against Kermit in the finals after both had defied prior expectations to get so far. There was a short-term mishap during the finals when an intoxicated Ballsanon !!TSeJH+Shkly reposted a shitpost related to Spider-Man[1], but this wasn't enough to deter Peter Parker taking the win by a sizable margin of votes over Kermit. The win by Peter was overall very well-received by anons, with particular praise towards his variety against the other Mr. /co/ winners thus far along with his strong thematic pairing with Frankie Foster. All in all, Spider-Man defied the odds to have one of the strongest runs in years for a major /co/ champion. Furthermore, he became the first main tournament winner from Marvel and by extension the first comic-originating character to ever win either Ms. or Mr. /co/lympus.

Rules[edit]

How to nominate?[edit]

  • To nominate a character, a user must include their name, picture, and series in their post. Nominating 2 or more characters in a single post is not allowed.
  • All characters must either 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[edit]

  • All male /co/ characters (except those listed under "Excluded characters" shown below)
  • Any character that was allowed or has appeared in past Mr. /co/ tournaments (Grandfather Clause)
  • Characters can be any age
  • Puppets are allowed (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 three (3) males in the main bracket. These are decided by their votes in the qualifying poll. However, there is no restriction on the number of girls 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)

Restrictions[edit]

  • 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)
  • No inanimate objects that aren't treated as distinct characters in their media of origin (based on a vote in the 2022 feedback)
  • One-Month Old Clause: Any character debuting from the 1st of the previous month to the start date are ineligible.
  • Grandfather Clause: All characters who have previously made it into Ms. /co/ or Mr. /co/lympus tournaments, and are not banned by the Elite 8 rule, are eligible to participate regardless of the above restrictions. (Examples: Dr. Eggman, Saxton Hale, JFK, Wendy's, Princess Zelda)

Excluded Characters[edit]

Elite Eight Rule: Characters appearing in the quarter-finals of the previous contest are not allowed to compete in this edition. They will be eligible for nomination next contest.

Despite a new sitewide rule limiting posts on 4chan to only 10 replies, around 1150 guys where able to be successfully nominated.

Overall, the reception to the top 128 picks was mostly positive. Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny managed to get the first and second seeds, respectively. Alongside Looney Tunes, both Ed, Edd n Eddy and DC managed to get multiple guys into the top 10, with the latter (specifically Batman and The Joker) being attributed in part to recent events related to the then-recently released and largely hated movie Joker: Folie à Deux. One issue did arise from the hosts accidentally overlooking Wakko Warner, which led Popeye's main adversary Bluto to be knocked from the 128th seed in favor of Captain Silver. There was another worry that Ben Grimm (The Thing) from Marvel had also been overlooked, but this turned out to be an error due to him previously having two identical entries on the qualifier form before this got corrected later on. Despite a surprisingly strong run in 2022, Max from Sam & Max ended up as the only returning Elite Eight member from that year that didn't qualify once again.

Ties are resolved by series name in alphabetical order, then character name in the same order. Only the names written on the Rentry and Google Docs are considered. Characters who appear in the bracket for the first time are labeled in bold.

Side Tournaments[edit]

Like with Ms. /co/ the month prior, the barred and bottom 128 tournaments both returned for Mr. /co/lympus 2024 with new iterations. Another tournament featuring the 129th-256th placers from the qualifier results was also held, following a similar iteration from Ms. /co/ 2024 held after that actual tournament.

Barred from Mr. /co/[edit]

This tournament was hosted by Mr. Sir The Guymanbro !xNDnmYN2QQ, who had changed his prior handle from previous Barred tournaments starting around the time of the /an/lympics 2024. Unlike 2023's tournaments and like Barred from Ms. /co/ 2024, this one went from 32 to 64 contestants. In response to both feedback from the previous barred tournament and the Next 128 tournament being held at the same time, Mr. Sir decided to bar anyone that placed 256th or higher on the qualifier forms from appearing in the tournament.

In the end, the top four came down to Hank J. Wimbleton from Madness Combat, David Hasselhoff as depicted in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, /co/nrad, and Saddam Hussein. Despite attention around all four candidates, some had hoped the oddball finale of Hasselhoff and (particularly) Hussein would happen. Instead, Hank and /co/nrad would be the ones to advance, with the latter winning out in a very close final match. Arguably the biggest surprise was "Carl", an AI-generated character that was allegedly from an animated movie called Dragged In and created specifically to be nominated as a joke the previous year, lost in the very first round despite a ton of jokes made around his creator turning his back on Carl the prior month.

Forbidden Eight[edit]

COMING SOMETIME

Bottom 128[edit]

Once again, this recurring tournament was held for Mr. /co/lympus 2024. While not the most high-key iteration to date, it nonetheless still got fair attention and praise from anons. Amongst a few campaigns that spawned from the event, two of the biggest pushes were for Nick Knatterton, the star of an older West German comic strip that had later been adapted into various media, and the Morning Visitor, the titular antagonist of a 1963 Italian art piece that depicts it assaulting and disfiguring a woman. The latter did count for /co/ by technicality from its eight panel presentation and had gained more attention online earlier in the year. In the end, however, the Morning Visitor was finally brought into custody by the German private detective as Nick went on to become 2024's Butler of /co/.

Lower Eight[edit]

The Next 128[edit]

Alongside the returning two side events, another anon stepped up to hold a tournament focusing on the characters who ranked 129-256 in the qualifiers form. This tournament was the second of its kind, following another for Ms. /co/ 2024 held in the afterparty threads and on /tnt/. Despite some initial skepticism, this tournament started getting a surprisingly high amount of hype and attention by the end. This hit a peak during the final three rounds, with several characters like John Blacksad, Felix the Cat, and Snufkin getting extra attention. In the end, the tournament was won by Blacksad after a well-fought final match against Felix.

The host of this tournament has expressed that he might not want it to become a recurring event, pointing to some burnout over the amount of side tournaments held alongside Mr. /co/lympus this year as a prime reason. Despite this, he did leave a guide in case anyone wants to hold future tournaments in this style (such as for Queen and King of /v/).

  1. Balls voluntarily took leave from hosting the rest of the tournament during early finals after he shared a post from the prior thread that a number of anons felt might hint at host bias towards Spider-Man. He admitted he had been drunk and playing Team Fortress 2 when this occurred, but nonetheless admitted his fault. In response to this incident, Cumanon formally quit as host after almost doing such during Ms. /co/ the prior month.
