Alright this is the conformation thread. The conformation period will only last a few days(hopefully), so everyone need to finalize their picks as soon as possible. Anyone with any objections to characters who've been drafted, this is your last chance to voice your opinion's so make sure your concerns are addressed. Now to address a few issues...
Invinsible- What's he done? From what I understand, it's seems very possible that he is over the cap, but a feat list of some kind would be helpful in making that decision(otherwise all I have to go by is the opinions of the judges).
Grail- Sorry but from the info I've received from the judges, Grail seems to be closer to a herald level character than Iron Man, so he'll have to be replaced.
Shimmer(and matter manipulation)- Due to a general consensus from the judges and participants, I've decided to ban Matter Manipulation altogether from this tourney. However character's capable of matter manipulation are still allowed, assuming that they're still < Extremis overall(they just can't use that particular technique). Also, direct matter manipulation will be allowed in cases like countering phasing by your opponents(by making them solid again), to keep phaser's "killability" under control.
Bastion- Sorry but after lengthy consideration and input from the judges I've decided to ban Bastion. Bastion is probably Iron Man level WITHOUT his immunity to the most common power source in Marvel, and with that level of immunity factored in, it seems that he'd exceed the cap by quite a bit IMO.
This is the draft list as it stands currently...
1.Hank Pym
2.Hawkman
3.Northstar
4.Spiral
5.Tony Stark
6.Warlock
7.Vision
8.Black Knight
9.Captain Nazi
10.Abomination
11.Karate Kid
12.Bloodaxe

and I now start arguing against the ban on Bastion. There are plenty of non-mutants and Bastion is immune to mutant powers, but that doesn't mean he can take a punch or that he can counter a laser beam, etc. IM would still destroy him. And since IM is the standard, there are a few people here who he cannot beat. Like Wonderman, Sasquatch, and Invincible. (who is being banned, but you get the point.) I argue Bastion is a inspired pick, and that kicking him out to maintain fairness is penalizing whoever picked him for coming up with a good idea and following through on it.

This is Aquaman, btw. I have no problem with him as a body...just not everything else the person listed.
Also, Bastion was potentially > IM anyway...and I thought using specific versions of someone to keep them slightly under the caps was not allowed (which is what was being done).
It's not JUST his immunity to mutants, it's his overall defenses. He's got all the abilities of Nimrod and Mastermold(including Nimrod's regeneration and durability), and a bunch of new stuff besides. That level of overall durability combined with his immunity to all mutant powers is what puts him over the "killability" cap. He just seems a little to much like a loophole character to allow.

No, he doesn't. He didn't have their powers as Bastion, he got them later when his body was exhumed and his programming altered, which point he became Template.
His head was blown off in one shot by Cable and his durability and strength aren't much higher than a prime sentinel, which is about CL10-20.
Of course he took his head of,He has claws that can cut through anything.hell,he was amped.So seeing that having his head cut off like that means he's below Caps,and the fact that Deathverine could take of Thors head,can i daft him?
