During Challenge 1

DC Heroes
Starfire/Zatana/Wonder Woman almost definitely have the majority. RoarShack, Robin, and ReplacementBird are all barely doing anything, and it will be a matter of who the former three feel like taking with them. At the moment, Zatana prefers Robin and Starfire has a side alliance with Robin as well, so he looks like he'll be safer than the other two at least.

Starfire - Above Zatana because she isn't actually loyal to her at all, and would rather float in the long run than be tied down.
Zatana
Wonder Woman
Robin
Black Canary - The fact that she's a replacement will save her one round.
Rorschach

Marvel Villains
Enchantress is almost certainly the first boot here. The only 4p alliance mentioned so far has been from Loki's POV: Loki/Doom/Myst/Myst. Mystique says she likes Enchantress, but seeing as she's the fourth I doubt that's going to affect anything, especially since Ultron is involved in a few 3p alliances himself and is generally more preferred by those at the top.

Loki - Respected the most by everyone.
Mysterio - Above Doom because I think Loki likes him better?
Doctor Doom
Mystique
Ultron
Enchantress

DC Villains
Two Face is actually not in a good position, despite what he says. He has no power, and from what it looks like, no motivation to change that. The power couple here is actually Riddler/Manta, and both of them prefer Zod. Two Face is the fourth, even though his major alliance is with Red Hood, Riddler's preferred first vote. Queen Bee seems kind of left in the dust right now. She's generally preferred by those at the top, but that's all.

Riddler - Above Manta because Manta gets on my people's nerves.
Black Manta
Zod - Could actually be higher, but he hasn't posted in his confessional.
Two Face
Queen Bee
Red Hood

Marvel Heroes
The most boring tribe ever.

Deadpool
Moon Knight
Gambit
Rocket Racoon - Higher than Storm because he promised more later, where Storm is more likely to fizzle.

DC Villains Update

Now that SOMEONE finally decided to start talking, more needs to be said about this tribe. The most important note here is that Zod is closest to Queen Bee. I was going to say that this changes everything, but looking at everyone else I don't think it actually does aside from put Two Face in a much more powerful position than I had thought, though if he plays it wrong it will probably end up being worse for him. There are three pairs who are all closest to each other: Riddler/Manta, Zod/Queen Bee, and Two Face/Red Hood. Both of the former pairs are targeting Red Hood, so unless he manages to convince Zod that he is necessary for him to not lose out in the end, which I don't see happening, Red Hood is easily still going to be first boot. If the game were to continue in these tribes, then Two Face would then be alone between two pairs. Riddler/Manta would go for Queen Bee, which would spark Zod into action. He could either recruit Two Face and go against those two, or convince them to target Two Face, putting him in a worse position with the duo. At the moment it looks to me as if he'd do the latter.

Honestly though, the fact that we know that these tribes aren't lasting longer than this one TC means that this is really irrelevant, but I need to base the rankings on something.

Riddler
Black Manta
Zod
Queen Bee
Two Face
Red Hood

DC Villains Update Mk. II

Um, I take all that back. Riddler is probably planning on ditching Black Manta at this point IF it were to go farther. It still probably doesn't matter, but that does change the current totem pole, so I think it's worth correcting myself AGAIN.

Riddler
Zod
Queen Bee
Two-Face - Above Manta because Manta gets on my people's nerves.

It looks to me as if Riddler can't decide who he actually likes most, so the totem pole likely shifts according to who The Riddler fancies on any particular day.

This dynamic amuses me to no end.

Well, if I were Riddler, Manta would be on the bottom, so in the toss up I'm mostly just projecting.

First Council of Tribes

DC Heroes
You know how I said that Black Canary would get a pass for one round due to being a replacement? Well, that was assuming that the replacement actually showed up. This tribe is much simpler to judge because of that, and Black Canary is gone almost without a doubt.

DC Villains
As evidenced by the fact that this is the only tribe I've needed to update, this is easily the most dynamic tribe in the game right now. The 4p alliance seems to have fallen apart, though Manta and Two Face are still going with it. Riddler, while still having some amount of power right now, seems to have fallen drastically from his position at the top of the tribe due to Zod's rise and Queen Bee's growing distrust of him. Though those three are in an alliance right now, that doesn't seem like it's going to actually last long. I can pretty much say at this point that there is going to be be another major indecent here that finally determines who gets voted out this TC, and until then speculation is pointless.

Might as well try though. Riddler is going to start by pushing for a Red Hood vote to both his alliances. Manta and Two Face won't argue at first, and may even lock in their votes before the drama starts. Queen Bee and Zod will try to push him to a Manta vote instead, putting the next move on Riddler. From there he could just quietly go along with it, condemning Black Manta, or tell someone else. Keeping quiet would probably be his best course of action, but Riddler has been so washy that who really knows. If he does try to revolt, something tells me that Two Face will flip as soon as he gets wind of it, so either way I don't think Manta's getting out of this alive.

Coming up: Full Hero tribe random predictions. Spoiler: Wolverine is out first.

Riddler already said he was ok with a manta vote.

Corona Prediction

Spoiler: I lied.

The first impressions here are that Deadpool and Raccon are going to charm everyone. Deadpool is going to be staying with Moon Knight though, and for some reason I get the feeling here that Moon Knight is actually going to do better with the added people than Deadpool. Starfire is going to start branching out, and end up being really disappointed. She's probably going to end up settling on Moon Knight as the person she is closest to on the opposite tribe, though as previously stated she's going to like Deadpool and Rocket because everyone likes Deadpool and Rocket. Though Wonder Woman appears to have a solid position with Starfire, Zatana has been having spotty activity lately, so she's going to have to really step it up if she doesn't want to lose her position in the upcoming influx of people.

With everyone else, it's simply a matter of who picks up who. Out of everyone, Storm seems like the least likely to resist getting picked up by the majority, so she's actually the person that is going to be going first assuming activity levels stay constant. Wolverine is still next close to the bottom, because he's attached to the hip of Deadpool, who's way of playing is not going to end up in control of the tribe. Deadpool could probably push a Storm vote over Wolverine, but not over anyone else. Roarshack is the other guaranteed member of the bottom. Though he has some sort of relationship with Starfire, it's not reciprocal, so when the Marvel Heroes start resisting Marvel boots, the one who's name I don't want to spell is going to immediately be the first casualty. Gambit has mentioned wanting to stay close to both Moon Knight and Deadpool, so once Deadpool is no longer the only person who matters Gambit is still going to have a solid position compared to the others. Robin is liked by Starfire, so he's going to be safe.

Starfire
Moon Knight
Wonder Woman
Deadpool
Zatana
Rocket Racoon
Robin
Gambit
Rorschach
Wolverine
Storm


Of course, this is posted before they have any interaction with each other at all, so this is probably going to be completely wrong.
