Easy. Count who's already dead. Don't count who's not dead yet? :|

The ones in brown jumpsuits are already dead, the ones in the yellow jumpsuits still have a chance of surviving. :lol:

It would be so much easier if there were red shirts!

"definitive on-panel kills" is a good attempt to explain, but no matter what the answer will be, it will be easy to argue for some other answer.

You can also enter as many times as you want, so...

The contest is effectively "pick all the numbers between the lowest possible number of Bloodshot definitive on-panel kills and the highest number of Bloodshot definitive on-panel kills".

So, it's better than a random winner or picking a number between 1 and 1,000,000... but it's not going to be indisputable. :lol:

I take that back... Rule #4 says they will "randonly pick one paricipant", so it may be more important to figure out what randon is, and how to become a paricipant.

I guess I've gotten used to EVERY :roll: comic they produce having some kind of typo/misspelling/grammar mistake, but small advertisements having them is really disappointing.

Am I overcounting?

I looked through Bloodshot 1-13 and the zero issue (which was tough because I didn't count the kills by the older Bloodshots, nor the kills by Bloodshot before he is transformed...) and I'm at 79 already.

I started with Bloodshot Reborn and got 16 in the whole series.
