BATTLE OF THE CARTOON LEADERS
Scenario: Through a series of budget mishaps, the US government has a billion bucks left over to parcel out to some pork barrel---er, "worthy interests" project, and decides to award it to whoever makes the most persuasive argument for using the funds for their own community, nation, etc. The finalists, all leaders of their own tribe, city, etc., for persuading the government for this giveaway are:
1. Papa Smurf, leader of the Smurfs, "The Smurfs".
2. Mayor Quimby, mayor of Springfield USA, "The Simpsons".
3. The Mayor, mayor of Townsville USA, "The Powerpuff Girls"
4. Pinky and the Brain, leaders of "Brainania", "Pinky and the Brain"/"Animaniacs"
5. Aquaman, the "Sea King", "The Superfriends," "Justice League", and various DC Comics
6. Richard Nixon's preserved head, ex-President of the United States/president of a futuristic Earth, "Futurama"
7. Fearless Leader, dictator of Pottsylvania, "Rocky and Bullwinkle"
8. Dr. Doom, leader of Latveria, "Fantastic Four"
9. A mysterious figure who reveals himself/herself after winning (yes, an "other" category; name who it is in your response)
The feds decide to allow the leaders to go at each other in a stadium, to determine who should win the cash (at President Bush's request---he was too busy gagging on a pretzel back in the 70's, and missed seeing the classic Muhammad Ali "Thrilla In Manila" match). All contestants are allowed to use whatever implements are at their disposal (including supporting cast, allies, powers, gadgets, scientific prowess, whatever). Last leader left standing wins.
So, who wins this money? And what would they use it for?

Who needed *something* vaguely interesting to talk about, not being a "Family Guy"/"American Dad"/current "Simpsons" viewer...
