Digi Post #3
First of all, really?! REALLY?! No one's going to say anything about my music video at the beginning? Not here, and not in the main thread. Fine, I'll take my ball and go home. See if I release another video next match.
First Blood
Abhi tried to call me out on my invisibility. Ok, kudos on making me use this scan:

That's Dark Angel invisible to friggin' Mephisto in his own realm. Good luck claiming I'm not invisible at this point.
It's also not magic-based. So you can stuff that argument about Britain seeing it.
So I initiate the fight, as it has always been. I teleport behind him, phase into him, and destroy him from the inside. Hell, I'm big enough to just merge his entire body (including brain) with metal. If he survives, he sure as hell won't be in fighting shape.
Even if one aspect of it doesn't go as planned, I get the first attack, can teleport away on a whim, and probably still have an insta-kill with amped Havok at point blank range.
He has no escape from this. No answer to it. The interpretation of this match doesn't need to go any further. And if I don't have the advantage I want, I teleport away and begin anew (see writeup for basic scans of all these abilities).
Venn Diagrams
There's a few common ways to approach tourney drafts. One is to be the best at something. Speed, telepathy, whatever, just overwhelm your opponent with one major advantage.
Another is amping via mesh, as evidenced in my amalgam, or Id's for another obvious example.
A third is prep mastery. Just go nuts with something using a brainiac or tech pimp.
Another is to cover a ton of bases and hope your opponent can't account for all of them. To a certain extent, I did this. Telepathy, phasing, teleporting, energy absorption and massive energy attacks, solid physical stats, etc. The Havok amp means I went for broke in one particular category, but I also tried to cover many different bases.
And then there's Abhi. Abom + Britain. Two powerful characters in their own right. But almost entirely overlapping. Do you think their strength stacks? How so? You can't have two bodies. I thought something else was going to come of this, but no. You have them at their base levels.
You've got some good scans, and they're solid players. But you're fighting uphill because you're one-dimensional. Or, rather, one-dimensional compared to most teams. Much like your idol, you just want to punch your way to victory. That doesn't cut it in tournaments.

Not going to happen. Prometheus' suit is fast enough to inform about Starman firing his energy blast and then side-step it from behind.

You are not fast enough.
Kinda inconclusive, yeah? He detected the blast before it came and just sidestepped. I will give no such warning, and my blast will be thousands of times more powerful and larger in radius. You're not dodging anything.
If you're basing your speed on your least superpowered pick, you're in trouble.

Same scan both times. Also seems wildly inconclusive. I'm not even sure what I'm looking at or how it turned out.

First thing first, that wasn't 616 adamantium or even adamantium. It was an alternate reality alloy with no durability feat to speak of which Havok mistook as adamntium. If you're trying that as a proof that Havok can melt adamantium, a huge lulz @ that. Havok has unloaded everything he could at a weaker cap and cap no sold it completely to the point havok drained himself.

I like how you conveniently forgot that. Also what is so impressive about an energy blast that creates a crater? Punches that create shockwaves able to destroy planets don't impress you?

As ever, that's pre-amp. I can do this all day.
And in my case, my Havok could perform that feat easily and continuously, since he has an endless power source to draw from.

Obviously he is beneath Armory then.
Ok, maybe? If he is, then it's meaningless. And if not, you found an outlier thread that I've been refuting (and will continue to do so).
Iron Man not enough for you? He's no-sold IM and War Machine at the same time. Multiple IM suits remotely controlled. Ms. Marvel. I don't want to pull the Thor feat. I have a gentleman's agreement that I won't use that in this tourney, because it's an outlier in the other direction. But it exists, and you're obviously not one-shotting anything, or even hurting me seriously. Overstatement isn't going to get you anywhere.

Havok's shields are a joke. Energy absorption has nothing to do with punches.
Where to begin? Energy shields can help against punches. So there's the first completely obvious point. The scan I posted was a shield, not absorption.
I could say more, but that's enough, I'll let it sink in.
Dark Angel (again)
And now, our field reporter, Steve. Steve, what's the word out there?
Steve: Well Jim, we have yet another confirmation from curry that Dark Angel is entirely legal, and that the Fabric of the Universe is included in that, and that Dark Angel gets access to all of her powers. Let's take a look at the tape...
And Jim, this is in addition to the earlier statement from curry, saying essentially the same thing:
I'll drop the act and be serious now. Abhi, the Fabric is a tricky thing, because it could be seen as either gear (mind pick) or body (body pick). It has been approved as gear several times now. I actually understand where you're coming from, because it's a bit ambiguous and required a ruling. But that ruling has come in. I know you know this by now.
You're not going to get her invalidated. If you want, I can annoy curry again and have another quote ready for my next post. But let's just move on. You think you win anyway, yeah? Beat me straight-up; don't try to get an already-approved pick invalidated.

Un-amped high meta picks are "VASTLY" stronger than Gladiator?
Keyboard cat, play him off:
