An interesting set-up, I had a feeling Mr. Crime might provide some good material for matches.

For the match, I'm liking Anders' chances slightly more than Krimetz's as I'm thinking Anders might be able to perpetuate some far more diabolical crimes than the half-wolf man. On the other hand, Krimetz has done some pretty horrific stuff, such as animal abuse, forced enslavement, kidnapping and forced servitude, terrorism, and several other nasty things, so it really isn't too cut and dry either.

Man, @Z451, I don't know how you find these characters sometimes. Were-Wolf is so obscure that this very Rumble is near the top of his Google search.  

As for this match, @Mercenaryblade, I get that Anders or Were-Wolf can win by gaining Mr. Crime's favor, but what are Mr. Crime's stipulations to "win"?

Commit more impressive crime feats, and don't get caught by people Crime has tipped off.

No, I mean on what basis would one vote for Mr. Crime? Maybe if both Were-Wolf and Anders gain his favor?

Like if he tipped the scales against the two opponents with his tipoffs.

😁 Heh. I found about Were-Wolf from the book The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains by Jon Morris. A fun read, as it pertains to various obscure and let's say failed supervillains. There is a heroes version too, but I haven't picked that one up yet.

Any who, Were-Wolf's design is both laughable and unique to me, something different from what might think he would look like as implied by his name. Paired with his backstory of bullying, and his accidental homicide of one of his schoolmates, and I was left wondering why he was put in the villain category at all. Only a few decades later, I'd think he would fit better as a mutant or meta-human, just one incapable of currently controlling his powers. But, it was the '40s and all, where if you even looked funny, you deserved every bit of demonization you were given and more, so yeah.

So, if Crime's tipoffs do enough to make neither of the others favorable to him? A little counterproductive to his own interests, but OK, lol. 

In that case, I'll give it to Anders. With his silver tongue's mind control, he'd be able to have heinous things done on a wider scale, and even control the authorities Mr. Crime tips off to do his bidding even more. Anders may win the match, but he'll also lose in life even more than he already has by being in Crime's favor.

Sounds interesting. It looks like Adolph gave himself as little of a chance in life as society did by going the homicidal route.

It's pretty consistent with what I read he often mocks the criminals as much as he encourages them
