This is a bracket battle, the likes of which you’ve never seen.
Sound the battle cry, let the trash-talk fly—there’s no telling which way this will go.
Now all that’s left to say is Vote up me hearties, yo ho!
Starting today, 33 of the most popular captains will battle it out until only one remains and reigns supreme as the ultimate captain.
We’ve handpicked from a wide-range of captains from pop-culture & real life to make this one of the most diverse bracket battles yet. The starting categories are as follows:
- Interstellar
- High Seas
- Island of Misfits

We picked the starting point and initial match ups, however, just like in bracket battles past, it will be up to the community to decide who takes control of the ship & who will just be part of the crew.
