COMICS-(WHEN HYPERTIMES COLLIDE)

"Voodoo Lounge"
Never did I wanna' be here again, and I don't remember why I came... but it's time once more for the Hypertime Arena! This time out, it's the battle of the voodoo guys!

Jericho Drumm was an American psychologist, until a trip to Haiti and the death of his brother turned him into the supernatural Brother Voodoo. Now with the ability to cast spells, see the dead, wear a vest and summon his own theme music, Brother Voodoo has been prowling the dark corners of the Marvel Universe (plus "Marvel Team-up" and "Marvel Two-in-One") since the 70's!

Like all evil voodoo guys, Papa Shango's arrival was announced by several televised vignettes. With his frightening face paint, multiple tattoos, smoke clouds and plastic skull, Papa Shango would terrorize opponents with his shoulder breaker, elbowdrop and vomit-inducing spells. For real-- he actually caused the Ultimate Warrior to puke, after stealing one of the Warrior's wristbands. Thanks to guys like the Warrior, Undertaker and Crush, Shango's reign of terror didn't last long, as he soon dissipated from the ring, like a fart on a dusty road.

Who would prove the victor in this monumental clash of guys ripped off from James Bond's "Live and Let Die"? Let the cards (and table data) decide!

By the Spirits of the Loa, the finaly tally is Brother Voodoo over Papa Shango, 9-6! Obviously, the match would be held in Haiti, promoted by Mr. Big. While Papa Shango would have the bigger frame, standing over 6 foot and 300 lbs, he can't match the doubled strength of Brother Voodoo and the spirit form of his dead brother Daniel Drumm. Even a devastating shoulderbreaker would not be enough to overcome a guy who can create his own theme music, at will. Bang the drum loudly-- this bout belongs to the Brother!
