Leo and I draft Despero and he'll be Leo's character

Edit: Leo is working on our team name.

Our team drafts Morg (WOL). He's mine (DarkCrawler) character.

(Waters of Life don't make him above Thanos, so I think he can have them)

HA!

Classic Juggernaut (8th Day Juggernaut included in that statement)

-8th day Juggernaut is not any different, just him utilizing his powers more efficiantly, akin to X-men Forever Iceman.....but nobody calls him X-men Forever Iceman

don't you think he's a little too powerful I mean the whole lifting the rockof eternity and owning Captain Marvel Wonder Woman Superman, Powergirl, atom smasher, and the rest of the JSA/JLA powerhouses a little above herald level don't you think.

Herald level is only the name of the tourney, he doesn't break any of the limits in place.

Waters of life are banned.... as is 8th Day level Juggs

Should I pick for Psyquis (We both have agreed on a character it's just he's not here right now....I think....)

Yeah right. If we allowed 8th Day Juggs we'd have to allow Superboy Prime.

yea grey you can pick for him


hmmmmm why is 8th day banned? He did nothing but utilize his powers more efficiantly....and telepathy is still a weakness

Digi has OK'ed picking a character for your teammate if they are not on.

Does thoroughly scanning every point on Earth in the span of a sentence count as Flash level reaction time?

Not to be a hater, but allowing Surfer and banning Flash (and more than likely Superman) makes no sense.

for Psyquis52

I can have Orion with the astor harness and mother box right ?

Val, i have to go out again.... you're gonna be pretty much in charge of this on your own until Digi comes on

Waters of Life Morg is well above his usual level.... and his usual level is the cap for this tourney

8th Day Juggs is similarly overpowered

Morg was (Comparatively) an ordinary murderer. Big G gives him the PC , this allows him to become herald level (One of the stronger Heralds I believe) , after his PC was taken WOL allowed him to STILL go toe-to-toe with Herlad levelers.

You might as well add a new class on called WOL ....

Except being a Thanos level bruiser. Despero has manhandled multiple teams and it always takes a plot device to beat him. Martian Manhunter beat him with a one time only use power that he can't do again. Johnny Sorrow beat him but then again, Sorrow beat Shazam. Zatanna beat him but thats Zatanna.

You can't exploit it though. You walk near the guy and you disintegrate , his punches taking the dimension away with you in it.

I don't know, maybe a team with a strange level magic user and an indestructible brawler??? Despero is durable but there are several ways any reasonably versatile team (in a non CIS fight) could put him down.

Ok , but he was still slapping around Jack of hearts and all of Big G's heralds at the same time.

Shaman isn't close to Strange level. Really, lets not start that crap again. If you want to talk non CIS, I could argue Silver Surfer beats Thanos. Fact is it's always taken massive plot devices to beat Despero. He's banned.

Originally posted by newjak86

Sorry, I'm not going to do your work for you and post ammo for all the teams to use against him. But there are several reasons that he's fine:

Durability is less than Juggy, and his telepathy is slightly above MM. Any herald or GL could match up with him, again in a non-cis fight. And by GL I mean those guys who contain blasts from supernovas...

Plus Juggernaut can't take on the whole JLA by himself.

Characters are only allowed in with their regular powers and weapons... so no "8th Day" Juggernaut, but regular Juggs is fine... also no Reed Richards with the ultimate nullifier... or Aunt May with Cosmic Powers

In your face.

Why is Morg banned? He hasn't demonstrated anything above the power caps.

He was kicking the sh*t outta them.

Apparenty there is a rule that they can't have outside things.

So normal Morg is OK, but one with WOL apparently isn't...although I have no idea why.

Really? Didn't the version of Juggy you want nearly crush Thor to death with his bear hands and take his godblast? Sounds like the JLA would need a plot device to beat someone like that.

No he took Godforce Blast long before that but guess what thor still one. Thor never does well against Juggs close up but Juggs always looses because Juggernuat does have quite a few exploitable weaknesses. And Argueably MM could take Juggs by himself. So could WW alone. He could not give the JLA trouble by himself

Despero has strength enough to manhandle multiple elite Class 100's at once.

Fact: Despero has always been beaten by plot devices.
Fact: Juggernaut has lost to plenty of people in a variety of ways.

i'd need a bit of an explanation here. sure he was battling the jla, but thor and wonderman have both battled the avengers. count nefaria wiped out the friggin avengers AND thunderbolts alone, yet i could pick him.

despero went h2h with supes ina recent jla arc and supes was holding his own. if he IS above supes strength (likely), it's not by much, and certainly not by feats. his tp is uber, no doubt, but i've not seen him building and recreating cites in nano-seconds ala god-cable. when the rock of eternity was dropped on him, he was already pretty much screwed. when he wiped out the jla, he did it one or 2 at a time and he is (like thanos) is uber smart and always has a plan. it's not like he walked up to them all and beat them to a pulp and hypnotized them. this is also the 'physical' despero we're taking, not the possession despero. he's got none of the matter manip so many have, no magic, just uber-strength and uber tp.

and beyond all that, even draco says he's a great pick for this level tourny!

honestly, i see no reason for him to be banned, val. and didn't i run him by you and you say he was all right . . .? (maybe that was digi?)

Fact: Despero has always been beaten by plot devices.
Fact: Juggernaut has lost to plenty of people in a variety of ways.

And why can't Juggy do that as well?

And him being beat by plot devices is only because he isn't used that often. If DC used him more, then more people would have beaten him by now. The fact remains that he is a step below Juggernaut in durability and that any number of characters already selected could go h2h with him. Hell, Gladiator and Majestic have both moved around planets which put them into the billions of ton class.

However, his powers work MUCH quicker than everyone elses. His eyes are directly connected to his brain, therefore, he looks at you and you're f*cked.

the whole jugg's thing is hilarious to me. i brought up the fact that without bfr he'd be almost impossible to beat and everyone laughed and said who'd take him anyway . . .

not so funny now, eh . . .?

And all Black Bolt has to do is say, "huh." There are several characters that have already been picked that are above him in physical stats, are more versatile, and whose powers work just as fast. Not that that is of vital importance as everyone gets prep time.

I've talked to Draco about Despero before. He bases that opinion on a what time power Martian Manhunter displayed to beat him. A power that can't ever be used by him again so scratch that.

so why exactly are you banning him, val? is it durability? (<juggs) strength? (supes=>despero) tp? (shaman nate/god-like cable=despero)

his great upside is that he combines these great attributes. none of the individual attributes exceed the limits. combined he is a bad mofo, but again, most herald levellers can be team wreckers. hell, there's a 30 pg thread saying the ss could wipe out the jla--ALL AT ONCE!

give me something specific you're banning him for. please.

oh ya, sucks to be you left hanging for THIS round!

I thought this was a herald level tournament, not a Superman-level or team-level. Again, there are other people already drafted how have strength and durability feats greater than Despero. Are they going to be banned too?

Which is why it puzzles me you bothered to pick Despero in the first place.

Because non of his physical attributes exceed those of individuals how have already been approved.

Despero telepathically F*CKED Martian Manhunter in V&V. Martian Manhunter had to be put in a coma in order for him to stop freakin out and burning.

Despero has more feats that put him above Superman strength than not. He doesn't fight teams. He stomps them.

actually, he doesn't have more feats. i'll agree, he's likely stronger though but what's to say i can't amp ss to reach his level? would hulk's styrength level have been limited had he picked him?

and again -- he stomps teams because he is WAY smarter than most people on teams. he's a military genius and galactic conqueror. he never wades into a full team and wipes them out, he divides them and beats them 1 or 2 at a time.

and besides ALL that -- he is friggin' UBER-COOL and a very clever pick . . .

Despite smashing multiple teams filled with multiple herald level characters?

I forget where in the rules it says that Martian Manhunter was the limit as far as telepathy goes. Telepathy has been approved from the beginning by Digi and mentioned by him several times. People who didn't prepare for that eventuality, only have themselves to blame.

How does that prove his is more durable that Juggy or stronger than Magestic?

No, this wasn't a 'minor' tp attack. He seriously made MM his B*TCH.

If I can't have Orion with the astro harness
I'll change my pick to sinestro

This logic says it would be ok to pick Adam Warlock with the soul gem.

i know you keep bringing that up, but HOW does he beat teams down? unlike nefaria -- who DID beat up all the avengers and t-bolts at once -- despero thinks, plans, and takes them out in small neumbers.

and yes he DID tp-f$#@ mm. so? doesn't mean he exceeds herald-level, or more specifically, sub-thanos.

It doesn't but then again it does say nothing that thanos would be able to do. when someone can go and beat a team of herald level beings and then Mind F*ck one of them as well his power range comes into question.

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with him. But I think Leo makes a good point:

Show me one scan of Majestic or Juggernaut flat out trashing a team on par with the JLA/JSA.

8th Day Juggs IS banned so that argument is gone.

warlock should be fine val. i'd have agreed to him just no soul-sucking. we almost chose him!

and you still haven't given me a specific reason to ban him . . .

Woah...this is 1 hot thread uv started Scoobless. Oh, i'm not takin part

Leo he took out Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, PowerGirl. Captain Marvel, Atom smasher, and I think Black Adam at the same time in virtue and Vice.
I think most people in this tourney couuldn't do that

and for the first time.....its not cuz of us newjak

Please now. His telepathy was not in the equation during Virtue & Vice. He smashed them with his bare hands.

Regular Juggernaut has far more durability feats than Despero does such as taking Thor's godblast with no ill effects. Again, I refer to Leo post about how he was able to beat the JLA. He had serious one sided prep. Besides a Blind Wonder Woman has had damn good showings against the JLA.

despero is a combination of doom (brains), god-cable (tp), superman (strength/durability).

he wins because he is SMART! you're exaggerating when you say he owned the jla/jsa. if i were being perfectly honest, i'd say despero is a GREAT limit for this tourny in many ways but he DOES lack many of the skills and abilities that others in the tourny possess.

Superman has more strength showings than Despero. Take a guess why.

Even though Wonder Woman later said the only person who wasn't half assing that sparring session was Batman.

So you guys are saying Thanos should be allowed because he also preps? Ok, first person to post after me that isn't Leo or Kahn can have Thanos.

thanos

edit: I win

so we get a four man team with him right?

and the only one that he MAY have ko'd was wonder woman. the rest he fended off but again, loads of guys could fend them off.

he's strong. VERY strong. stronger than supes? probably, yes (though po'd supes has ridiculous showings v the jla . . .) but is supes the strength limit?

i'm only arguing this much because i honestly believe he IS within the rules of the tourny. he's just a very good pick and if someone else had him, i'd be afraid too.

val, DOOM has taken out every hero on EARTH (emperor doom)!! does that mean i can't have doom? prep is wonderful and is itself a huge plot device.

you still haven't told me (aside from him being a team wrecker which i hope i explained away) exactly why you are banning him.
