    Xykon vs. Geoff
    Yeah. No contest here.

    Horace Greenhilt vs. Niu
    I hate Horace possibly as much as the villains in the strip. And that's what makes me vote for him. He's well-written, even if he is a scumbag. Niu's nice, but not too special to me.

    Ian Starshine vs. Jenny
    None of the above, if I could. But I guess I'll go with Ian.

    Kobold Oracle vs. the Monster In The Darkness
    I flat-out love the Oracle, but...

    Are you sure you're not thinking of Eugene Greenhilt here? There may been an ongoing discussion about whether Horace was also a bad father - I even lean towards a "yes" to that - but I don't see any way one can call him a "scumbag".

    Xykon, Horace, Ian, MitD

    A suspected back-stabber vs the main villain and one of the best evil characters I've read? Not happening...

    They're both relatively likeable minor characters, but Niu is rather, well, new so we're yet to get to know her. As such, Horace has the edge.

    Jenny wasn't enough to beat out Haley's dad...

    Now this last one here is just unfair- pitting one of my favorite characters of all time against the very reason I started reading this comic? Why not have the Oracle face Jenny or Geoff? Oh well... - Oracle? What Oracle?

    I get the feeling people don't get the difference between Horace Greenhilt (four or five strip wonder, Roy's grandfather) and Eugene Greenhilt (notable supporting character, Roy's father)

    Xykon for his ability to enjoy the little things.

    Niu for her reasonable assumption.

    Ian Starshine for Haley's paranoia.

    Kobold Oracle for being like a reptilian Alex Trebek.

    Xykon. What are the heroes, without their antagonist? /philosophical
    Niu was such a pleasant surprise.
    Ian Starshine--but this was very close, as I quite dislike both characters.
    Monster in the Darkness all the way.

    Xykon. Because reasons.

    Niu. Because of her extreme preparedness to face a skeleton crew.

    Jenny. Because sexy musicians.

    Oracle. Because he would be played by Mel Brooks in the movie.

    Xykon. Who the hell is this "Geoff" guy, anyway?

    Niu. A smart, female paladin rogue? Rock on, girl!

    Ian Starshine, by virtue of not being as lame as the other option.

    Monster in the Darkness, all the way. The Oracle seems like kind of a prick to me, while MitD is like Elan for Team Evil. Plus, nobody know what MitD even is! You have no idea how long I've been searching on the forums for plausible speculations about him. Who doesn't love a mystery?

    Oops! Missed the previous round.

    Anyway:

    Xykon. The main protagonist against a minor character who didn't even get any really good lines? No contest.

    Horace Greenhilt. Niu so far hasn't been a character in my view so much as a plot device.

    Ian Starshine. Meh, two characters who aren't very interesting in their own right. Ian at least has some personality and plot signigicance.

    MitD. Darn it! The Oracle's one of my favorites, but, well, it's the Monster in the Darkness.

    Since when is Xykon the main protagonist? Or did you mean antagonist?
    There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

    Geoff. Xykon is a powerhouse. I just wanna knock him out to see how this would go without him in the mix.

    Niu. Because of her relationship with Thanh. Thanh makes everyone more awsesome.

    Ian. Jenny was.....eh.

    MiTD. Dude's been getting progressively more interesting as the comic goes on. I'm loving him.

    I don't expect Geoff to get any more votes. I'm counting on you failing hard at math and nobody else noticing. Which is a more plausible plan than Geoff winning legit, really.

    Let's be honest; Geoff was lucky to get those three votes. I was considering using 'this character has had no notable lines or plot relevance, and doesn't merit a quote' as his introductory quote.
