You start off by getting a good enough ranking to get a Diabolical (or lucky pulls from standard/heroic). You build up that villain, then leverage that to place better in other rounds. Rinse and repeat. The hard rounds are Rags and Mags. Hood is difficult only because of the huge point swings. A good team to use before you have any villains is Wolverine/C Storm/villain or Wolverine/Thor/villain -- as long as Wolverine is tanking for you (which is why my C Storm is L83 instead of 85). Edit: Duh. OBW now instead of Storm. Way better team. The only top 100 I've gotten was playing off hours. I might have gotten a bagman for that one, though. I got a bagman for my doubleshot token, too...

It wears off 15 minutes before the end, so we shall see how this goes. Good for an experiment anyway. Also I drew the bracket with Nemek And Zathrus... at least I didn't see DumDum like usual
