In an earlier dance-off, the Quintessence ordered a competition to determine DCs greatest hero once and for all. This time, the Celestials have come to Marvel earth and ordered a dance-off for their own mysterious agenda.
It's no training, no prep. And Earth will be destroyed by the 4th Host if they do not put in their best possible efforts. For added incentive the losers of each round will also get Arishem's thumbs down and will be destroyed by the assembled Host.
First round same rules as before: each hero gets 1 minute to bust his/her best moves on the dance floor of a major NY club in front of hundreds of clubbers (nobody else on the dance floor) with a top international DJ providing the beat:
- Black Panther
- Tony Stark
- Sentry
- Spider-Woman
- Moonstone
- Sub-Mariner
- Wolverine
- World War Hulk or Banner - he can choose which form
- Psylocke
- Cyclops
- Deadpool
- Invisible Woman
Second round is the couples round - and the theme is dirty dancing:
- Black Panther and Storm
- Norman Osborne and Moonstone
- Hawkeye and Mockingbird
- Thanos and Gamora (they happened to be on earth at the time)
- Luke Cage and Jessica Jones
- Hank Pym and Wasp
- Ultron and Jocasta
- Mr Fantastic and Invisible Woman
- Cyclops and Emma
- Deadpool and Dr. Betty
Who does best? Who is annihilated? Can earth endure?
I am in your algorithm learning all your mannerisms
I'm already level with God
A million words a second and I know your imperfections, baby
I'm the only future you've got
Speak in diatonics, motivation diabolic
I'm like a religion, better locked in a box
Picture perfect image, more powerful every minute, baby
I am everything that you're not
That's Malaysia's most deadly form of dancing. It typically involves flinging your partner down the stairs while they attempt to pop and lock. Darkseid was practicing by himself while working up the courage to ask Lashina to be his partner.
True shit. Google that shit.
