Johnson/HBO; Justin Stephens/SyFy; Bob D'Amico/ABCDay two of EW.com’s Sexy Beasts summer showdown is upon us, and we’re pitting characters from X-Men, True Blood, and Twilight against their fellow franchise players. Cruel and bloody and with a total disregard for human decency? Yep, that’s how we like our beasts.
For those of you who missed Monday’s matchups — click here, because polls are open for 80 hours — let us explain the concept: EW.com’s editors put their heads together to pick the 64 ultimate Sexy Beasts, and now we’re asking you to crown the king or queen of the pack in an old-fashioned, single-elimination tournament. Every weeknight at midnight for the next month (because that’s when these puppies come out to play), you can vote in polls to help narrow down the field. Click here to see the entire bracket (then click again on the image for a zoomed-in view) and after the jump, vote in the four separate face-offs, then check out lists of the 16 seeded players (and the actors who play them) in all four of our beastly divisions: TV Vampires and Their Friends; Mutants, Monsters, and Creatures; Aliens, Machines, and Their Ilk; and Movie Vampires and Werewolves. What are you waiting for? No one’s gonna wipe the drool off your chin, so get voting! [UPDATE: Don't miss part 3 or part 4 or part 5 of our tournament, with plenty of sexy bloodsuckers, mutants, and scaly things from your favorite franchises!]

Castiel should have made this list…. there’s no Supernatural love at all.
You are right Liz there is never any love for Supernatural
Castiel is SO hot! Once again Supernatural gets unfairly overlooked.
But Castiel is an angel… Don’t think he fits into any of these catagories.
I agree, Castiel SHOULD be on here. Never has a trench coat looked so great. He could be on here under “TV VAMPIRES AND THEIR FRIENDS”. After all, Illyria from ‘Angel’ is on there, and she’s not a vampire OR a werewolf. Same for Sam Merlotte from ‘True Blood’; he’s a shapeshifter. I think that angels should fall under the “AND THEIR FREINDS” part of the category.
If you think about it GG, he’s a couple thousand year old creature with six heads (according to Zachariah) that has to possess a willing person because his true form is powerful enough to burn the eyes from your sockets and possibly kill you. I would say that makes him a beast.
Can we write in for Castiel? Egregious oversight! He should totally smote you, Slezak!
yes Supernatural gets overlooked and that is not fair.
Supernatural, aside from being an altogether brilliant show, has (hands-down) the most attractive male cast on TV. These boys are absurdly handsome, and Castiel should be dominating this list.
I completely agree!!!!
I’m with you guys!!!
Castiel!!
Mmmmmm, Castiel…..
I know right! Supernatural is an amazing show!!! He should be on the list
And what about Sam? All that sexy demon blood and rage, all those powers…Certainly qualifies him. And though ol’ Lucifer wasn’t so looking so great with his skin all peeling toward the end, Mark Pellegrino made a pretty hot Satan.
YES! CASTIEL!
Supernatural DEFINITELY needs a mention somewhere here… Winchesters for life (and Cas of course!)
How could you have not included the Being Human cast on this list? Aidan Turner’s Mitchel is BY FAR tv’s sexiest vamp.
thats so true! ahh.. mitchel, such a dreamy vamp
Agreed!! Just got into this show over the weekend thanks to a marathon and LOVE IT!! I don’t think enough people know about it.
Yes, he is very sexy!!!
that’s what i said!
You’re right. Mitchel is the best vampire on television. He should be on the top of the list.
Argh… toughest matchup in the bracket.! Anna (so hot in her short hair) from “V” vs. asian sensation Grace Park from BSG. Can we just put them in different brackets so they can meet in the finale? Sci-Fi babes at their hottest!
its not a tough decision at all. anna was hot in firefly, but terrible in v. boomer all the way!
Totally agree, why didn’t they use anna when she was in firefly. Space prostitute is totally hot.
The Mystique-Jean Grey matchup is a tough one. But I had to go with Mystique.
Same here, I love Jean Grey but I love Mystique more
Ya Jean Grey is my favorite but Mystique is just so sexy
Again, putting mutants as beasts…way to spread the hate EW!
:-p.
Yeah, mutants are people too! lol
Where is Diana from the original V?
where is MITCHEL?!?!
I couldn’t even vote on the last one as I don’t find either character/actor attractive.
I couldn’t vote either, but it had more to do with my hatred of EW’s unending coverage of Twilight. (Let the barage of Twilight is awesome – begin!)
Really? Cam Gigandet is sex on a stick. You can also see him in the interesting Pandora, or the kind of horrible The Unborn (with gary Oldman – WTF?)
*Pandorum — with amazing and cute Ben Foster, and hot-at-any-age Dennis Quaid
I didn’t even bother. It’s like choosing between vomit and diarrhea.
I’m all about Hugh Jackman… mmmmm…
What no Clark Kent? He’s an alien!
I thought the same thing!!! Clark Kent (partiuclarly when he looks like Tom welling) is the hottest alien ever. Who wouldn’t want to hit that? Come on.
No Clark Kent on a list about the hottest aliens? Really EW? Really? Major fail guys. Clark Kent is one of the most famous hot aliens. And yes, Tom Welling is a stunning man from head to toe.
I’d like to hit it. That’s pretty much what I think every time I watch Smallville. Damn, he’s hot.
Not only Clark Kent, but no love for the aliens from Roswell too.
Hell yeah what about Max Evans from Roswell?? and Michael too HUH??
Should have had Riley/Xavier Samuel in the Twilight mix, much hotter than either of the last two (albeit naive and short-lived).
Grace has no boobies
thank for putting twilight in the poll i am there biggist biggist biggist biggist fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i<3twilight
I can tell you’re like 9 years old by your atrocious spelling and the fact that you like Twilight.
And the never-ending exclamation points.
And no capital letter at the beginning.
hi..im one of the biggest fan of twiligt!nice comment,and can we be friends too?like alice and bella?
Mitchell from Being Human is so hot I can’t believe he isn’t on there.
No Mitchell??????
FAIL, EW. Epic Fail.
