Roster for the match
Archmage (Magik II (aka Amanda Sefton)\Zachary Zatara)
Emeralda (Emma Frost\Miss Martian)
Techno (Oracle\Lex Luthor)
Prep duration- 10 minutes
Prep base- the Birds of Prey Headquarters
1-2 minutes. Amalgamation happens (everyone amalgamate but Emma and M’gann).
3-4 minutes. Emma mindlinks Techno and Archmage. There’s something I have to say about both amalgams.
First, Techno. As you should know, Oracle possesses perfect photographic memory- her only true superpower: http://www.picamatic.com/view/1111061_page16/
She physically can’t forget stuff.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...ternsOfFe-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...ternsOfFe-1.jpg
In fact, that + biggest database in DC universe in her possession (and due to photographic memory, in her mind) was the reason Neron made special offer to her- she was to become his librarian, and instead- to get perfect health, superpowers in Superman’s league and free soul. She refused due to Neron having bad rep+general hero CIS.
Techno now possesses that total recall. And thus total recall of ALL the Lex’s memories.
Now, the Archmage. Note than magical matter manipulation doesn't require conscious matter manip- it happens subconsciously and matter manip is triggered by mental model, in case of Zatara family supported by speaking desired incatation backwards.
Zatanna explains than backwards speech is a way to create mental model to guide a spell in one's mind: http://img208.imageshack.us/my.php?...eek34023gk6.jpg
The homo magi of Zatara family are confined to that model of “triggering”.
Pizza from thin air (though he didn’t envision it clearly, wanting generic pizza (or more likely a takeout brand, envisioning box clearer than its content in mental model) and thus got it with less cheese than he wanted): http://www.picamatic.com/view/988347_02/
Magik II is also no pushover when it comes to magic. She (under birth name, Jimaine Szardos) is named among the world’s best sorceresses, along with her mom, Sorceress Supreme of Marvel Earth: http://www.picamatic.com/view/11254...hing_v2_011-14/
However, she has just the opposite limitation to Zachary- her training is based off soul magic\living beings, and she was never properly taught in the ways of magic effective for inorganics.
Now the amalgam balances out the weaknesses by access to two kinds of magic- Homo Magi “backwards” magic and Winding Way magic (Zachary’s powers can do what Amanda’s can't and vise versa).
It should be noted than Winding Way practicioners (Amanda and her mother) frequently use artifacts which belong to other ways of magic or soul links with practicioners of other way of magic to amplify themselves. http://www.picamatic.com/view/11261...ember_22,_2004/
In short- Archmage is>Amanda Sefton and Zachary Zatara on their own in multiple ways, able to cast magic more effectively than both of them on their own.
Now the task (and somewhat difficult, so I put roughly 5 minutes- half of my very prep time - in that)to do is for Techno (mindlinked with Archmage) to reach out for JLA medical databases. http://www.picamatic.com/view/10707...wn_037_page_03/
and Martian Manhunter\White Martians (there were blood samples taken and analysed from J'onn and number of White Martians (in Green disguise on scans) in Martian Manhunter recent mini, so those samples\analysis results are in the database) http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/...imscomic095.jpg
Finding files=one minute approximatlely.
The files\samples describe Cryptonian and Martian cellular structure specifically. Magik II’s magic can be adapted\used for healing\body altering on molecular level. http://www.picamatic.com/view/11261...tcrawler_11_15/
And now, we use that knowledge, data, and Archmage’s powers via mindlink to do the following stuff.
The first and easiest thing is to alter Martian DNA of Miss Martian into the one of peak specimen of her race (based on data present in database). That (DNA alteration within the same species) is basically bordering on healing. Thus, after said “surgery” (we can use scanning devices present in the lab to monitor the process for more swiftness and accuracy) Miss Martian would possess the power level of peak speciman \ speciwoman of her species (thus I’ll be referring to the feats of said peak specimen later when adressing Emeralda's physical attributes). That will take roughly one minute at most.
Time spend so far- 4 minutes
The next thing is done is that we use information on Kryptonian DNA from database, plus Lex’s own exstensive knowledge of Kryptonian DNA, to turn Techno into baseline Kryptonian (not thr peak one, but something like Jor-El\Supergirl).
Lex talks about his exstensive knowledge of Kryptonians describing his participation in “Superboy” project:
When 4 minutes left, Emma and M’gann amalgamate. The last 2 minutes is spend into preparing the “trap”.
Emma links herself to the Techno's subconsciousness. http://img93.imageshack.us/my.php?i...cy216002cy3.jpg
That was undetectable even to Charles Xavier. Along with said “psychic parasitism” she forms a “mental anchor" on the psyche to be sure to follow it, should it be dragged away. More on that technique is to be explained later.
And finally (just before leaving into the battle) Archmage (who is equipped in Magik's battle gear and wields Soulsword) gives our faux Kryptonian some sunshine: http://www.picamatic.com/view/1099600_Superman-_016/
Battle
Our team enters it mindlinked and psi-shielded. Emeralda and Archmage immediately teleport away from the heat of the battle (to the building that was former HQ of Birds of Prey in the Metropolis).
Meanwhile Techno (who has faux Kryptonian physiology putting her\his stats roughly on Supergirl’s level+sundipped before the battle, as well as Lex’ knowledge of Kryptonian battle tactics and Batgirl’s fighting skills) flies to face the opposition.
His\her task is a)try to kill lesser amalgamations, since Digi would probably be putting all his money on Minion, as he previously did; b)distract said Minion long enough to provide opening for other attacks.
The direct confrontation with Minion should be avoided as long as it’s possible. The prime task is to “kill what's killable there", using Kryptonian powers.
Now, when Minion\Dark Angel try to use telepathy to take Techno down, they either find it psi-shielded or even worse- they’ll swallow the bait.
With Techno’s "tasty” skills, knowledge and anything he’d seem the perfect target for cranial siphon assimilation. But- entering\dragging Techno’s psyche triggers the "psychic anchor".
Then…it depends on situation. Emeralda can either repeat the famous “telepathic exorcism” trick (due to piggybacking assimilated soul) and free\destroy as many souls as possible (if that’s cranial assimilation) or challenge Dark Angel in the TP battle (where it would be a curbstomp in Emeralda’s favour due to Emma's own nearly unmatched skills in astrak combat department + assimilated skills of Jean and Cable).
We also have a joker up our sleeve. While Minion is busy dealing with our “destructive distraction”, we have Archmage briefly teleporting on top of him and hitting him with Soulsword.
The Soulsword is famous for two things.
One, it destroys magical amps http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?...79144488kl2.jpg
One hit left Captain Britain depowered
The king was working in the garden. He seemed very glad to see me. We walked through the garden. This is the queen, he said. She was clipping a rose bush. Oh how do you do, she said. We sat down at a table under a big tree and the king ordered whiskey and soda. We have good whiskey anyway, he said. The revolutionary committee, he told me, would not allow him to go outside the palace grounds. Plastiras is a very good man I believe, he said, but frightfully difficult. I think he right though shooting those chaps. If Kerensky had shot a few men things might have been altogether different. Of course the great thing in this sort of an affair is not to get shot oneself!
It was very jolly. We talked for a long time. Like all Greeks he wanted to go to America.

- Death's Head II (Minion) (now Minion Prime)
- Dark Angel
- Moonstone
- Firehawk
- Midnighter
LISTEN TO THE FOLLOWING LINK FIRST (have your sound on fairly high) http://boomp3.com/listen/c297as4wf_m/writeup5
It may not load the first time. Make sure it works, then listen prior to reading anything. Thanks. The accompanying scans/writeup is below.
...the writeup was entirely for fun this week. I didn't have time to compose a battle-writeup. Charlotte was briefed on it not pertaining to the actual match. The written writeup below is my full strategy, and I wish Charlotte the best of luck.
Written Portion
Prep
Location: The Carrier
Amalgamations:
Moonstone + Firehawk
Dark Angel
Minion Prime assimilates Midnighter
Battle
Prime Time
For those of you who missed my last couple matches, I just built a team-busting character in Minion, now Minion Prime. See, he can assimilate the minds and souls of victims, which he then houses within himself in a single hive-mind personality, controlled by Death's Head's, who is the controlling personality of the group. I assimilated Mary Marvel, Osiris, and Freddy Freeman (Cpt. Marvel Jr.), and their souls are all I need to activate their power. So with their new body being Minion's, he's now roughly as powerful as Cpt. Marvel himself (or more so). I also assimilated Karate Kid's mind, adding his mind-numbing skill to the equation.
And I keep all of this, due to the information retention rule for this tournament.
I proved all of this with truckloads of scans on each and every point, and illadelph approved every step of it as legal. If Charlotte feels the need to challenge it, I'll be happy to post everything again and explain why I'm right.
And this match I'm adding Midnighter, whose calculative abilities will make sure I'm utilizing my powers to their fullest, and only attacking them in ways in which I can win. His implants, now assimilated, also allow me to analyze the powers and abilities of their team. So nothing will come as a surprise to me.
And I haven't even started with the other components of Minion. At this point, he could probably solo this match. Fortunately, I have 2 others to help me.
Introducing Dark Angel
Dark Angel is a wonderful catch-all. Not insanely powerful, but versatile on a level few can match. And while I have a few specific uses for her, let's rattle off her power set first:
Phasing, high-level telepathy, telekinesis, can channel energy into regular blasts, or punches, durability, etc. Teleportation, flight, limited ESP, density control, etc.
I can produce scans to back up all of that, and will do so for most of them.
She's a direct answer to the Miss Martian/Emma Frost tandem Charlotte has liked so much this tournament.
I can negate her phasing. I can negate diamond form. I can take and dish out pain better than they can, and will match her scans for scan if needed. And I have an attack specifically designed to attack the weak point in M'Gann's mind. At that point, she'll beat herself.
I have other tricks in store with DA, but will save them for later if I need them. Charlotte is creative but has a few consistent ideas running through most of her plans that I'll exploit once I confirm that she included them.
Moonhawk? Firestone? Stones of Fire?!
Regardless of the name, this is to further harass Emma/M'Gann, and also to provide a strong final amalgam.
With phasing negated by Dark Angel, there's very little way for her to escape the intense fire of Firehawk. Diamond form, you say? Not when Moonstone can attack while phased: http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/34...yblast01bi4.jpg
I have other scans that support this as well.
So phase into Emma, and, I dunno, set her heart on fire? Brutal, but effective. Moony and Firehawk can match Mach speeds and beyond, btw: http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9383/speedzs9.jpg
So they can't avoid me.
- Minion can solo most matches, and nothing Charlotte does will keep up with me. With Cpt. Marvel+ strength, speed, and durability, combined with KK's skill, MN'ers calculative ability, and Minion's inherent powers, Minion Prime is now a legit High Herald planet-buster.
- 2 of my 3 characters can phase. At best, one of hers can, and Dark Angel can use her powers to negate it. I also have the ridiculous speed advantage with flight for all 3, and the Marvels' reaction times combined with Karate Kid's skill with Minion. So they literally can't touch me in this fight.
- Emma/M'Gann goes down fast and hard. The rest follow soon after.
- Minion's assimilations for this match (presuming I win) include Emma Frost and Oracle, and whoever they happen to be amalgamated with. Those are the only two I'm interested in.
- I look forward to Charlotte's plan. They're always interesting (i.e. ridiculous).
- Bada and Jase are scheduled as judges, who have already judged in a Minion Prime match (and believed it, as they should ). For Newjak's sake, and in case a replacement judge comes in this week (since it's happened a couple times) I have a full explanation of Minion Prime coming up in my first couple posts. Thank you for reading.
- Charlotte's a friend. The audio writeup was entirely for fun, and I explained as much to her before our match. I wish her the best of luck, both in this match and in the whole tournament.
First of all, let's attack the Minion Digi loves so much in that tourney (C).
The judges believed what they were shown. And they were shown that:
And I do think than Digi repeats just that as proof with advertising is as "200% solid, approved etc".
However, there are several solid problems with it.
They do not lie in Minion's soul assimilation- that's all fine and valid. However, the very plan with Marvels... it's dubiouis at best.
As with Digi, I'd like to present you witnesses. Multiple witnesses.
The witness #1- Captain Marvel. Plan debunked="the body can be random and it doesn't affect powers at all".
Witness #2- Osiris. Claim debunked- "Black Adam's powers are linked to his soul". http://img224.imageshack.us/my.php?...eek43008ae2.jpg
"The power may have made me walk again, but at the price of the my very soul..."
Black Adam's power isn't the soul, just the opposite- it's the substitute for soul.
Osiris is able to regain his human soul only after he rejects Black Adam's power (though he quickly gets eaten by Sobec after that): http://img224.imageshack.us/my.php?...eek43019mz5.jpg
So...where is the soul helping to regain the power?
3. Witness #3- Black Adam. Claim debunked- "I can summon powers from various benefactors into a single body without hurting myself".
Digi has what? Three benefactors for his rag-tag-soul-squad.
1. Shazam for Mary Marvel
2. Captain Marvel for Freddy Freeman
3. Black Adam for Osiris
However, for all that team they have only ONE body to share- the one of Minion, and it's unknown how would it refocus the powers or act on it (see witness 1 statement for reference).
Once the 1st personality claims the body and says "Shazam!" or "Black Adam!", the body is presumed to be recognised as it's body. However, power was never specifically granted to Minion or taken away from Minion- that means the outside interference.
However, the way power work mean "one body for one "Shazam'er" (they shared bodies with non-Shazamers sometimes, but at best it was 2 personalities in same body".
So... let's say they've recognised Minion as a body for Mary Marvel, and send lightning to transform the body.
The next lightning recognises the body as "Shazamer altered by different benefactor". What happens? http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?...eek50002hy8.jpg http://img222.imageshack.us/my.php?...50003004zn2.jpg
Pwnage. That's what happen. You may try and weasel out of this paradox by stating that technically Mary and Freddy share the same benefactor, only in Freddy's case it's used via proxy. But then it becomes even funnier. Why? The lightning would keep you transformed back and forth in non-stop loop- since no matter who conjures it it will be hitting the same body. You won't be able to "Shazam up" properly.
Osiris' powers won't help, since a)Black Marvels' powers have nothing to do with souls, in fact they're its polar opposites and Black Marvels such as Osiris are technically soulless in powered up state; b) as shown above, transformative lightning from Marvels and Black Adam is in matter\antimatter relationship.
And finally, witness #4. Sabbac, demonic counterpart of Shazam. Myth getting debunked- "I can conjure up Marvels' powers in a body that contains 100+ personalities apart from them".
I repeat that we have to presume no outside intervention within rules and act as if the powers were granted to Mary\Freddy\Osiris. They were never granted to Minion himself or any other personality within its body. Presuming that would=presuming outside help.
Shazam lightning can hurt intangible\astral beings. That's why extradimensional demon Sabbac was hurt by it (the physical attacks from non-magical beings weren't phasing him at all): http://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?...eek25008dp8.jpg
Now, it's general knowledge that lightning transforms the user and hurts everything within it. From lightning's POV the body with 100+ personalities would be the body+the user+ 100+ intangible foreigners with no allowance to use powers.
The chance those "foreigners" would be enliminated at the 1st attempt to transform? Pretty high.
It actually probably leaves you one Shazamer in foreign body he's inexperienced with. No Minion, no Starfire, no Karate Kid, no anything.
By Digi's own logic- "the lightning transforms the user but hurts the "trespassers". ALL the extra personalities would be counted as "trespassers" with huge degree of probability.
First, good luck to Charlotte, and thanks to the judges.
Second, another thanks to Charlotte for posting my "Minion Prime Explained" post above (from my last match). Saved me a post. Goober, or other judges unfamiliar with Minion Prime, take some time to read it please. Thanks.
Third, a delicious thank you to Charlotte (again) for the entire last post. I want to call it Digi's Post #1, because you're actually making some points for me. But we'll get there later.
This post will be writeup debunking. The next will be answering the post on Minion and providing initial thoughts.
Writeup Debunking
First section is a lot of scans about Zach and Magik. Fair enough, but it doesn't show a whole lot in terms of actual strategy, just reinforces their powers. She's setting up the DNA-molding later in the writeup, which is invalid for entirely other reasons.
Anyway, Zach's magic <<<< the might of Shazam. And <<<<< my team, for that matter.
Here's where Charlotte damns herself. Take a look at the Superman DNA scan, near the bottom. Here's the quote: "I'm at S.T.A.R. Labs in New York..." Star Labs. Not JLA medical headquarters, where Charlotte supposedly links with in her prep. So that scan = no proof at all. It's the wrong place entirely.
The J'onn scan is even more laughable. Not only is it not proof that his DNA is on file at JLA medical center, but it's only proof that he briefly ganked a blood sample from a random martian.
So anything and everything about Kryptonian or Martian DNA can be ignored entirely. Which also means her team is in for a rapestomp against my squad of uber-badasses.
Besides the fact that I just proved the DNA wrong, M'Gann's lack of full abilities is a mental block, not physical. You should know that about her. It's from the arc where M'Gann's dark self is showing her how easily she could destroy the Titans.
So Charlotte's just confusing actual continuity now.
Not possible, same reasons. But for the record, Minion would donkey-womp someone at Supergirl level. Cpt. Marvel+ physical stats plus KK's skill, which gives him Quicksilver-esque reflexes at base-level human?! You wouldn't touch me.
Read through this quote and what she just did. 2/3 of her team went into hiding, and she sent the Oracle amalgam alone against my team.
Even if she's at Supergirl level (she's not) my team stomps her into incoherence before she does anything to me. Batgirl's fighting tactics? Lex's skills?! Jesus. I have Black Panther, Taskmaster, and Karate Kid inside of me, among others. With those skills, Minion at his normal levels could kill you:
So Charlotte just killed Oracle/Lex with an awful opening strategy. It's a 3-on-1 stomp.
Tell me, can Oracle/Lex phase? Both of my non-Minion amalgams can. How the heck are you going to "kill what's killable?" All my money isn't on Minion. He's the heavy-hitter, sure. But no one on my team is easily killed.
Good thing I'm not attacking Techno telepathically ( ). I only went after Emma/M'Gann, who I dont actually expect to beat telepathically. Rather, I just engage her long enough to bring out M'Gann's inner demons, so that you are FAR less than peak.
So there goes the vaunted "trap." I don't even use tp on Oracle. I kill her the normal way. The assimilation only takes place once I kill you.
The one interesting tactic that isn't completely unbelievable. Few things:
How the hell is that sword ever going to hit me? Or pierce my ultra-durable body? At this point, it would take a nigh-Flash level character to even hope to hit me, and Superman-like strength to scratch me.
Here's where she did my work for me. The one scan I lacked (in addition to the extensive scans above in Charlotte's post where she quotes me...please read them) was someone literally using Shazam's powers in another body. Charlotte just proved it for me.
The rest is biased interpretation and speculation to fit her purposes. Just look at all of my scans. I have their souls, proved it, and you don't need the original body to activate the souls, which is also now proven. Checkmate.
Here's where the language barrier may have hurt you. Osiris is speaking metaphorically. "At the cost of my soul" means that the powers have corrupted him, and he's not a good person anymore. It doesn't mean that his soul is literally gone.
Judges, browse the scans. It's fairly obvious.
The gist here is that A. successive lightning bolts would transform me back and forth. However, each lightning bolt is specific to each avatar (Mary, Freddy, etc.). Not all lightning transforms them.
Example: http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cmj6or8.jpg
Besides, 3 avatars means that even if you believe this logic, the 3rd changes me into a super-powered being. So either wa, I'm good.
And B. (I think) that Black Adam doesn't like the other 2, and would thus deny Osiris power. Black Adam has no way of knowing that Amon is sharing a body with them. And it indeed would be outside help for Charlotte to suggest that one of the power sources would shut off their power mid-match. Thus, it's illegal to debate as such.
You're the 3rd to try this. It misunderstands the term 'outside help.' No, powers were never granted to Minion. They were granted to Mary/Freddy/Amon. Their host body is simply different now. Minion has those 3 inside him. So it's not Death's Head receiving the power, it's the 3 who have access to it. It would only be outside help if they granted the power to a new entity, which they don't. End of story.
General Reactions
- Let's go worst-case scenario (I like doing this) to show you why I still win. Let's say you believe the Kryptonian DNA transfer, amping M'Gann, etc. etc. I still win. Why? Because 2/3 of my team can phase while I attack them, while I can telekinetically negate their only phaser (see scans in writeup of Dark Angel). And Minion, with the calculative abilities of MN'er, insane skill of KK, and total power of Cpt. Marvel+, is better than their team by a wide margin.
- Let's take it a step further and say you believe that the Marvel transfer wouldn't work (though it's now stronger than ever). That leaves 2/3 of my team intact and unhittable. And Minion still with KK, MNer, etc. inside him. Formidable as sh*t, especially with the ludicrous plan Charlotte is trying with her own team. In the worst of worst interpretations (none of which are true), I still win.
- So she can't hit most of my team, and the one character that can be hit can take it like nobody else in the whole damn tourney, and dish out just as much.
- I'm telepathically secure, Dark Angel actually has the exorcism-feat I produced earlier on Minion, so she can protect him from such intrusions.
- Did I mention Dark Angel can teleport? Don't have one scanned in currently, but I'll get around to it soon. So forget hiding in their building, I can take the fight to them.
- I've used this line before, but really, what can they hope to do to a being who could conceivably destroy the planet we're on? They have no telepathic foothold, no clear way to beat me, and are FAR below me.
- So, as with pretty much every match since I built Minion Prime: if you believe my plan, I win handily. And even if you don't (though you should), Charlotte's plan is ridiculous, I can't be hit, and at worst Minion has his own healing, durability, offense (formidable as hell...Iron Man-esque) combined with KK's skill, MN'ers calculative abilities, and a host of other knowledge and skills. None of which Charlotte (or anyone) questions. He's practically a team-wrecker without the Marvels. And with them, he's unstoppable.
- Remember that I weakened M'Gann's mind to the point of utter worthlessness. I don't need to beat them telepathically with Dark Angel, just dredge up M'Gann's demons enough for her to incapacitate herself. Then my telepathy is strictly for defense, which can protect against anything they throw at me. See the writeup for details on this tactic.
You already saw his adamantium-esque durability earlier, as well as impressive offense/defense from Moonstone (who can attack while phased for even more pwnage), Angel, and Firehawk. And of course Minion Prime, who is a legit planet-buster.
Judges, if you want to throw away hyperboles, you'll need to check that single scan more carefully. http://img186.imageshack.us/my.php?image=marvel9pd1.jpg
Metaphoric talks about "bad boy with the heart of gold" used as proof. I smell some double standarts there.
And finally- the "no trespassers" part
You have THREE different Shazamers with THREE different benefactors sharing the same body.
Look. When lightning transforms the Shazamer (pseudo-Shazamer) it causes mass destruction around it.
There's one Shazamer in probably one "non-Shazamer" body. Two personalities maximum, the "extras" would be viewed as trespassers and destroyed at attempt to transform.
Well, to begin with...
Darling, STAR labs is where they perform the scanning. Mr.Terrific also adresses However, Oracle is an ULTIMATE information brocker\coordinator for the whole superhero community, who performed data analysis for multiple superhero teams- JLA, JSA, individual superheroes.
She HAS access to those databases.
The medical samples were taken from all the group of Martians present. Also saying superhero community's prime information brocker doesn't have information of medical records from other superheroes...
That's retarded. http://www.picamatic.com/view/10586..._039_page___20/
If they trust her with data on their secret indentities, they would trust on medical files.
So...hit and miss, darling. Also why do you think Karate Kid in the "medical databases" scan I've shown headed to Oracle, and not to JSA or anything? Cause she has acces to JLA, JSA medical bases and so on. She's the data keeper for DCU superhero community.
Getting data samples to base a transfiguration mental model on would be a piece of cake, darling.
======================
Now to the rest.
First, to deal with his writeup
First of all, darling, the reason M'gann blacked out in the scan you've posted was due to Disruptor's energy blast, which separated the personalities in two separate bodies.
And then the same blast knocked M'gann out.
What else do we know about that personality? It plain sucks in astral combat. http://www.picamatic.com/view/1260610_06/ http://www.picamatic.com/view/1260630_07/
I doubt Emma would limit herself to puppy dogs. The only possessors she ever had problem with were high level guys like Cassandra Nova, or Bogan, or something like that. Also notice than M'gann classmates don't notice anything until she utters line about puppy dogs out loud.
Do you frankly believe a person who was PWNed by a bunch of puppy dogs is on that level?
And finally. You've said you picked it up from Starfire. Thing is, the only three people who know about the personality disorder are Robin, Kid Devil (probably) and Wonder Girl.
The only time Starfire and Miss Martian met was either pre-Titans Tommorow ark (where the weakness was non-existent), or in Trinity 14 where they didn't even talk. So...how do you find out that weakness again?
Starfire and Miss Martian were in entirely different incarnations of Titans.
Anyway, she's the weak ass ally against Emma (puppy dogs again?).
We can combine useful with pleasant and combine that with pwning the second personality (who plain sucks in astral combat and I don't think it would be hard for somebody with Emma's skill to block her away).
And now please state HOW exactly beating\defending herself from the bunch of nobodies (until proven)translates into being on Emma's level in astral combat?
You ridiculised me on Batgirl vs Karate Kid (and FYI, Techno is the BAIT to carry out the second part of my plan- I'll explain the very "bait" thing later in the post), and do yourselves telepathic version of it.
I do know that the only one Techno can playsibly kill in your team is "Firemoon" (though it would be prompt kill, as Techno enters the battle briefly sundipped). However, THAT would be enough (the amalgam of density alterer and poor man's Firestar vs a Kryptonian= roadkill). I never planned on overmuscling you- that would be retarded.
Techno would be a casualty there, but fulfills its role of a bait for you greedy guys to swallow. And that's what I've wanted to do.
And she still manages to locate Rogue's personality and manage diagnostics on it.
So... telepathic exorcism piggybacking absorbed personality is pretty fine and working thingy.
And then Digi said himself that the exorcism was possible due to anchor (absorbed personality) hidden instead Minion.
We're doing the same, just creating the anchor within another personality which is MEANT to be absorbed (killing "Firemoon" before that- a density alterer with some low level energy powers) just so we can perform exorcism on you.
I've adressed beforehand, how Oracle, being prime information broker in DCU (she even was made special offer for Neron). So having access on data on JLA\JSA members is valid- perfectly valid. They trust her even in keeping their secret indentities safe, let alone access to some medical files.
So- "faux Kryptonian" plan is perfectly valid. As for mental model thing- I've explained that into writeup with multiple examples given.
We also sundip it before the battle starts and for about 1 minute in the battle you'll be faced a sundipped Kryptonian. That's no Superman, but that's pretty good.
In writeup I've established Kara Zor-El as approximate benchmark.
Even at Mach 10 it would hurt. Moonstone's phasing (unlike Miss Martian and Dark Angel) is not extradimensional-based. It's density-control based (gravity based). She merely lowers density of her body, remaining her atomic structure there. And that means that your "intangibility" is akin to Shift's "intangibility" in gaseous form.
As for the others...well, the "bait" tactic is explained above, and I haven't seen anything to prove than Dark Angel's skill is sufficient enough to survive astral combat with Emma. Two feats of defending\attacking against nobodies aren't going to cut it, sorry Digi.
"Dark M'gann" is also sub-par astral combatant (once again, puppy dogs?). Making it astral=authomatically subjecting yourself to the telepathic pwnage which would be akin to Batgirl vs Karate Kid (in terms of difference in astral combat skill).
"Bait trap" worked on Xavier. There's no reason it won't work on Minion or Dark Angel, since they're not on their skill level.
However, all of that is based on KNOWING NOTHING of Soulsword and assuming it's something material.
Soulswords\souldaggers are immaterial thing. They're basically an extension of the soul of it's wielder.
They "destroy supernatural beings and break spells". It's immaterial, physical durability means nothing to them. They work on spiritual level.
So, Digi assumes that Soulsword is some material magic sword made of magic metal, and has "Soul" in the name for coolness' purpose. Something akin to Kain's Soul Reaver. That assumption is wrong.
It "slays supernatural beings and breaks magical enchantments". It affects your magic, not your body (it may be as durable or agile as you wish). http://img396.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sworduz1.jpg
The physical body remains intact as that happens.
And by the way, with Soulswords\Souldaggers the exorcism properties doesn't depend on how hard you hit.
Karima is Class 50, superdurable and has adaptive healing factor. Pixie has a strength of normal 15 years old girl.
Souldagger is a mere fraction of Magik's soulsword (which Illyana and now Amanda are using).
Exorcism=succesful, Minion's body=intact, "Shazamed up" powers and extra souls=gone.
And no, hitting Minion with a sword which is an extension of the soul is perfectly playsible thing. Minion only assimilates souls via crainial siphon, not with entire body surface.
I need only a slight stab which can be aimed anywhere, I don't need to aim for any vital organs, so blocking skills from Midnighter (not that great without implants) or Karate Kid wouldn't save you as I'm not aiming for anything specifically.
Judges, this is in response to the "Black Adam's power rob the person of their soul." This particular scan makes no sense with the point at all. And the earlier scan is still Osiris speaking metaphorically. It's not me interpreting the scans differently. Read them for yourself, and look at my earlier comments on it. There's no ground for Charlotte to stand on here.
Speculation, complete and utter. Which those scans don't support, btw. You used them to say that the transformation would hurt my other souls, yes? Yet the lightning only hurts the surroundings, not the girl herself. So how does that prove that immaterial souls inside of the host body that is being transformed would be affected, especially when they share a mind with the Marvels now? Ludicrous.
But while we're at it, those scans also reinforce the idea that the powers aren't dependent on the host body, since that girl isn't normally an avatar of Shazam (it's Black Alice borrowing the powers). So it's even more proof for me. Again, I don't expect the judges to believe either me or Charlotte. We're both too biased. But read the scans, and decide for yourself. I'm confident they show what I'm talking about, not Charlotte's ridiculous reaches.
My plan is completely legit. Her attempts have just dug a hole for herself, and made my case look stronger.
That's great that you took info from STAR Labs during prep then...
...oh wait. You didn't. And you can't re-write your prep now, nor add things to it (a precedent set by delph a few rounds ago). So still no Kryptonian DNA.
I'm sure they would trust her. Doesn't change the fact that all we can confirm is J'onn with a needle with some martian blood in it. If there were ANY evidence that it even made it's way to JLA HQ, you'd have a case. As it is, you don't.
All your scan showed was that she keeps their identities. Saying she has detailed DNA on all of them is a huge leap. And KK's specs were there because she personally scanned him.
Check the scans I posted. The emotional conflict with the dark self was what eventually KO'd her. Not the blast. And the personality is still inside M'Gann. That's what I'm exploiting. Simple enough.
Astral combat? That was a brief battle of wills, where M'Gann overcame her influence with some happy images (i.e. dogs). You really think that she got beaten on the astral plane by dogs? Epic misinterpretation there, Char.
Heh. Ok, maybe. Problem is, CIS isn't on for this tourney. I used the Starfire thing because I thought of it as I was writing my writeup, and it seemed cool. But the bottom line is, whatever we tell our characters to do, they do. Dark Angel goes after M'Gann's psyche, then physcially beats down that amalgam as well.
I'm confused. If you're conceding this point to me, what was the point of the martian DNA? It served no purpose. And, frankly, was a waste of time. Anyway, problem solved. And I'm still vastly superior to you.
Astral combat is different from telepathy. It's an entirely different plane. But anyway:
I never said DA was > Emma. She's a damn fine telepath, and used her skills a bunch (a few of which I've shown). And I'm not sure how casually laughing away a telepathic assault from 4-5 telepaths (of any level) = weak.
But the point was always to have telepathic resistance to whatever you try. I have that. Which is great, because in a physical confrontation, my team owns your. And not just Minion. Anyone.
So the fancy "astral" showings for Emma (she posted a bunch of them): meaningless. I take a pot-shot at M'Gann with DA, then get down to the business of butt-kicking, full defended from psi-attacks. I don't care about being better at tp because I don't need it.
Dude, you have to quit hoping for this. The assimilations happen after the match is over. Before then, Minion's too busy kicking your ass.
You banked your little "trap" on me doing it mid-battle, something I haven't done all tournament. Anyone who has read my matches (all the judges for this week, I believe) knows this.
So, judges, the "soul-trap" was originally based on me attacking Oracle telepathically, then changed to assimilating Oracle mid-battle when the first plan didn't work. I never stated either, ever. And I assimilate at the end of battles. She desperately wants this to work (she spent about 6 paragraphs explaining it), but it literally can't unless I change tactics.
Glad you admit that you could only kill 1 person on my team. Except even that's wrong.
Oh. And I can still phase. You still have no way of dealing with my phasers. I negated your lone phaser. You have no answer. And she can attack while phased: http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/34...yblast01bi4.jpg You can't touch my team.
erm. it's still a sword. It still has to hit me, and pierce Minion's brain (where it's all kept). Also, immaterial would suggest non-physical. It still has to physically touch someone to affect them. So no.
Calling shenanigans here. As agile as you wish? Could they wish it to be as agile as Flash? As durable as Juggernaut? You're making things up. It's a sword. It's wielders f-ing suck compared to my entire team.
And you have to use it to hit a character who could just chuck the Birds of Prey building into space, or pound it into the earth's core. If you think for a second that I'm going to nicely stand there, with my skills and speed that make your team look like toddlers, and allow myself to be hit, you're sorely mistaken.
Really? Proof? Because Minion's souls are stored in his mind. I can produce scans to prove this. So how the hell is stabbing, say, a machine's leg (which would be impossible for you anyway) going to release souls from it's mind?
So let me get this straight. You think you can hit someone with KK's and MN'er's skill and Marvel's speed...with, who, Emma? Magik? People who barely have speed feats to their name. KK can tag Flash characters. The Marvels are a blur to human eyes. MN'er can see every move you do before you do it, and plan accordingly. You don't touch me unless I say so.
Or hell, I could let my other two amalgams finish you off. And I think I will. I'll have Moonstone phase me, so I can't even be touched, then stay back while we kill you from a distance. http://img522.imageshack.us/my.php?...esothersje7.jpg
Hear that, judges? Minion rapes Oracle, the sacrificial lamb in Charlotte's epic-ly flawed plan, then lets himself be phased for safety and lets the other 2 deal with the fight. Seriously, I win this easily, and I'd rather save my heavy-hitter from the possible soul-steal (even though he's too fast and skilled to be touched by them)
And if you think my other 2 lose to her remaining 2 characters (they don't) then Minion gets upset and throw their heads into a sewer.
2 medical files you haven't proved are in JLA HQ, or even exist at all. And remember kids, she didn't check STAR Labs in prep, so that's a no-go.
...
End Notes (Please Read)
- I want to recap some things, because they are important: Here's how Charlotte's battle plan goes...she sends Oracle/Lex out to face my entire team, in the hopes that I assimilate Oracle's mind, thus triggering a tp trap she set with Emma. I assimilate Oracle, true, but not until after the match. This is how I've done it since the beginning of the tourney. We easily kill Oracle, unphasing only when necessary (Minion included)
- And I win. Because they can't touch me, they can't phase themselves, and I can blast them until I win.
- Charlotte's failed "bait" plan and inability to touch me (either from speed or intangibility) means I can't be touched or beaten. Ever. Nothing happens to Minion, either, since he's phased too. Nice try Charlotte, but I just punched my 'W' card here unless you think of something brilliant in the next few posts.
That's POSESSION. Which is banned from the tourney.
And Superman was "authorised" there by Captain Marvel (who can channel his powers or its fraction into different bodies, that's how he gave powers to Freddy Freeman). http://pics.livejournal.com/jeanne_dark/pic/0007txfc
He acts as conduct. The same way you use Minion, I suppose? If it is- it's posession, cause character stops being Minion and becomes something else.
And Digi has never shown proof Mary or Freddy can use others as conducts for their powers when their own body is immobile.
The thing that Mary Marvel wield powers of Black Adam once won't help you there. Not only was she depowered when granted powers of Black Adam (thus not having powers from both Marvels and Black Marvels, but her behaviour was totally altered- so much for "powers dependant on soul and personality", huh? Or maybe vice versa?
http://img108.imageshack.us/my.php?...own40p08xu7.jpg
Mary Batson's personality gets altered and her emotions get altered as well (in fact, performing that on another character is straight out posession, as seen above).
Can the "posession" claim be dismissed by Marvels still legal for the tourney?
Answer- ABSOLUTELY NO. We're drafting Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr. and Osiris- each for 30 points. Drafting that specific character is legal.
Drafting Mary Batson, Freddy Freeman and Amon Tomaz for 5 points each and having them "Shazam up" during prep is illegal (and that's what Digi does there). That would be akin to drafting Bruce Banner for 5 points and having him to transform into low-herald Hulk in prep.
The "legality" or "illegality" of character in that case is under presumption that one drafts powered up incarnation. Drafting depowered one and having it power up in prep would be straight out illegal.
Especially if there's personality differences between powered and depowered incarnations.
And that's an emphatic scan by Zatanna, not hyperbole. So you can't dismiss it based on that
Digi tried to dismiss the scan of transformative lightning by giving frankly silly reasoning.
The main difference between Black Alice and Minion? Black Alice hijacks everyone's magic powers, even omnipotent beings such of Spectre. She's the "Franklin Richards" of DC Earth.
When the superhero community of MU starts being scared shitless of Death Head II, wake me up, please.
She can just as easily hijack not-soul-dependant powers- like the ones of Wonder Woman, for example: http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/9457/ba12sz9.jpg
Also note than she regain her own personality whomever she "usurps"- even Spectre Kinda contradicts the scan when Marvel channels his powers and personality into Superman and Superman acts as simply backsit driver- even losing control over his own body and becoming the "voice in the head".
So... Minion Prime or Nonsence Prime?
=============
Moving on.
When reading comprehension helps
That character,, with so tasty skills, was meant to be assimilated in Digi's own prep.
To assimilate someone Minion (even Prime) needs to a)stand still; b)stay tangible.
That gives an opening for a Soul Sword hit. The Techno character was meant for sacrifice to benefit our team.
And BTW, how does physical intangibility translates into having your soul\essence "intangible"? Cause sword hits not the body, but soul or essence.
But in particular case of cyborgs the "digitalised" exorcism has one pecularity- it knocks the exorcised person out for a couple of hours and completely f*cks up her data.
It was shown, that a)Superman's detailed files are at least present at JSA medical databases;
b)Oracle has access to most medical databases on DC Earth http://www.picamatic.com/view/10707...wn_037_page_03/
Including the exotic data. How would you get detailed info for "folklore" databases? The cellular structure of a vampire is even less common knowledge on DC Earth than the one of Superman.
I've shown that such data is present and is actively used by superhero community. And how come DC premier data keeper (who keeps data for JLA, JSA, Bat-family etc won't have access to it? http://www.picamatic.com/view/1267681_Hawkgirl_064-16/
Proof of said "premiere data keeper" status.
Would it be hard to make "Faux Kryptonian"? In non-sun-affected state, Kryptonian cells are not that fundamentally different from other organic cells. And if you have data (check), genetics knowledge (check), the ability to adjust one's magic for molecular level transmutation- that's playsible.
It took me an hour to write that stuff, and now I'm out again to watch my kitties (get bored from waiting for veterinarian to come and see them- our veterinarian got quite a busy day today, she was late by a hour and thus I had a free hour to dedicate to KMC).
Maybe one more brief post there tonight and some more tommorow, but that's all for now.
And the "dogs" are personification of pleasant emotions in mindscape fight. I'm smart enough to understand that, thank you.
That's why overfeeding with pleasant emotions was presented as containment tactic- it worked well from much lesser telepath who isn't your "Ms Strong Will" of the year.
Emma has plenty of experience in the battles of wills- be it on astral plane or in one's mindscape- the only difference is battleground. The tactic is quite similiar.
By attempying psionic exorcism (not energy blast like Disruptor) you're heading STRAIGHT into my mindscape.
By engaging Exodus (who is for sure superior to Dark Angel) in telepathic combat Emma cuts him from his other powers. So.. there goes your flashy display.
NOTHING you have shown (and you have shown Angel deflecting raw psionic energy blasts from the bunch of nobodies) suggests she has enough skill to safely invade into the mindscape of superior telepath armed with generic information.
That's it. Aside from databases, we have generic info on opposition (powersets etc). The weakness known only to 3 people in the universe isn't generic information, I presume:
The cranial siphon and assimilation of minds for Death Head II is common knowledge, thus exorcism would work (specifically considering HOW that works on cyborgs). I'm not shooting myself into the foot by announsing that.
And I'm certainly not utilising the weakness known only to 3 people in character's respective universe. The "generic knowledge" rule is also valid only on opposition- it's presumed you know all about your team, that's what the major application of no CIS rules. Your characters can act OOC, but in regards of opposition, unless having specific databace on them, exotic weaknesses can't be used.
NOTHING you have shown shows Dark Angel's experience in mindscape battles (or astral plane ones- they're not different in terms of tactics, the only global difference is battleground).
That's telepathic exorcism, right? At least you presented it as one when defending your precious Minion Prime. If you're now denying that fact, then maybe next you'll be denying the very "Minion Prime" tactic of yours.
I've also shown, that mental blocks can be easily removed mid-battle and being amalgamated isn't preventing from doing that (in the post above).
If, like Digi himself said, it's mental blocks that matter for M'gann and Peak Martians- then it can be done mid-battle, and IS really a matter of seconds.
By attempting to enter my mindscape on the start of the battle, Digi has PWNed himself
Quick summary:
-Dark Angel entering Emma's mindscape=PWNed Dark Angel. Psionic inhibitors in her mind, that worked on Exodus (!), would prevent the attempted "outflashing" me with powers.
-The medical databases thing is valid, as Oracle has access to JSA and JLA archives and much more. I suppose Digi wants the scan of Oracle scanning Superman in person.
On that, I'd ask him to show Minion assimilate a magic user (magic in MU=usually soul+training) and actually using his magical powers.
-Techno is a PAWN in that battle. With all the "faux Kryptonian" thingy I want to do two things.
One is killing your "Moonfire" (should be playsible, given the nature of Moonstone's phasing), and the other one- distracting Minion in beating and assimilating her so he can remain tangible and stand still for a second- that is needed to deliever Soul Sword to him
-Soul Sword is immaterial and it doesn't depend on hardness of the victim's body (the body is ignored). As long as you're not "phasing out" your soul (which is impossible, especially with Moonstone's powers, which are density control), the exorcism will happen.
And you've used the possibility of exorcism on Minion as one of the proofs of him assimilating souls.
-The "psychic anchor" trap might or might not be activated - it depends on curcumstances.
Quick PWNage of Dark Angel in mindscape shuffle gives maybe enough opening to utilise that, but since Minion would be standing still at least for a second, the exorcism with Soul Sword on him would work.
Loose ends
Digi mentioned "faux cosmic awareness" as the way to get information on my team whereabouts.
The demonic being which is obliterated there has taken control over Dormammu's and Mephisto's realms etc.
Think about some very potent magical amp destroyed there
The Archenemy. The literal "deus ex machina"- the computer build to sum up magical knowledge, and then starting to absorb magical energy of Limbo and other Hell realities (such as Dormammu's and Mephisto's).
I almost feel guilty with how quickly I'm going to disprove Charlotte's entire 6th post. Seriously, a couple quotes, 1-2 paragraphs, and a single scan. Her whole hypothesis with Minion (and it's just that: hypothesis. Not corroborated with evidence) depends on a flawed assumption about him, and also about the Marvels powers.
1. Her premise is based on the assumption that each personality is housed separately inside Minion somehow, and that the Marvel's lightning bolt would destroy the other "unauthorized personalities" (her words, not mine). http://img265.imageshack.us/my.php?image=miniongk9.jpg
They all exist in the same mindscape. There isn't a differentiation. The only reason Death's Head personality shines through a bit more than he others is because his is cybernetic, and thus interacts with Minion's tech-body more easily.
2. Also, when has a lightning bolt transformation ever destroyed others' personalities? By her account, only Shazam avatars are "authorized." Did it destroy Superman's psyche in the scans she showed? Black Alice's? Or how about the rogue personality when Black Adam was possessed by another? Or when Mr. Mind has taken over Cpt. Marvel's mind repeated times by burrowing into it?! One time, Charlotte. Show it to me. Otherwise, you're almost insultingly off base here.
So the lines, charts, graphs, whatever. Debunked, right the hell there.
Believe it if you have to judges. But it's complete sh*t. Charlotte's never read a Minion comic in her life, and is pulling up insanely asinine Marvel scans that make no sense with her points. I researched every aspect of my transformation. It's all legit. Most of it is in the post that Charlotte quoted earlier. The rest is interspersed throughout this thread. Don't let desperate rants debunk meticulous research that proves itself every step of the way.
Debunking over. About 1/5 of my post limit.
Other Stuff
Christ. The possession rule was created solely in regards to telepathy, banning telepathic possession as an offensive weapon. You're using the term "possession" in a completely different sense.
Oh, and btw, declaring things illegal only works if you're the one making the rules. That's ill's job. It's not true just because you say it is. And in this case, it's entirely false, because he ok'd every part of my plan, and has also repeatedly ok'd it in public and PM multiple times when people try similar tactics. It's been approved ad nauseum. Nothing's illegal. And that's not my opinion, like yours is. It's objective, irrefutable, verifiable, fact. People need to stop trying to get it declared illegal, or trying to get the judges to believe it. It's attempting to make up rules on your own, has already been tried, and is shoddy debating.
And I don't care who is "piloting" Minion, btw. They still have access to the skills of everyone inside, so it's the same pwnage regardless.
I drafted them for 30 each, thanks. Then (legally) retained their minds/souls through the rest of the tourney. Obvious lies don't play well with the voters.
And see my last response to a quote for my thoughts. Making up rules that don't exist angers me. If I ever said something was illegal, I checked with delph first. Feel free to PM him. But we both already know what the answer will be.
Intangible = unhittable. Nothing to hit. You go right through it. Or, oh wait, I'm sorry, you're right....every phaser's souls remain perfectly tangible when they phase into something...
....
That's just a dumb argument. You can't hit intangible, unless you have a specific frequency
Btw, ya still gotta hit Minion's head to do it, tangible or not. And I'm STILL fast enough to cave in the skulls of your entire team in microseconds.
Now give him Class Herald strength, and Mach 10 flight. Think Emma's gonna last long?
Judges. These are the same scans. It's probably all she has. And guess what?
I'm still intangible. The whole team, including Minion.
Those swords look pretty damn physical to me. They attack the soul, yes, we know Charlotte. You've said that a billion times. Doesn't mean you have the proof you need.
And if you did (you don't) I'm too fast for you. Ha.
I did. I was (and still am) confused as hell as to why you wasted your time on the martian DNA stuff, which you knew was worthless.
Yet you still only accessed the JLA medical files in prep. Doesn't change facts.
No, you've shown that she keeps names, addresses. If you had the scans, you'd show them. Thus, you don't.
Loose Ends
- Forgot to address this earlier. Minion can and has assimilated computer systems (Death's Head, for one. Reed Richards' entire computer systems in the Baxter building, etc.). I'll show scans if needed. But it was implied that the calculative abilities of MN'er's tech implants would be assimilated and used along with his mind. Charlotte mentioned that he was worthless without them, which isn't completely true, but he is far less useful without them. But in any case, they're in MNer's brain, so the assimilation would have included them by default. Nuf said.
- PC feats are canon for the Legion. I'm not trying to pull a fast one on you guys.
- At one point she said Angel couldn't use her density powers while phased. Seems a bit odd. The two aren't related, and she remains in the universe. Tk doesn't require being at regular density.
- Angel's a powerful telepath. Somehow Charlotte wants to scan-blitz you guys into thinking Emma's better. Maybe she is. But they're similar, and both quite powerful. I don't really care who is stronger. Angel's there for tp defense, which she provides admirably. NOT for a tp attack & win. I don't need it, because frankly my energy blasts, strength, speed, intangibility, etc. etc. are more than enough.
- I think Charlotte uses "astral combat" and "telepathy" interchangeably. I'm a little confused, because they aren't the same. In any case, I'm not going into astral combat. Never wanted to, never will. Not even sure if I can. But it means you can ignore the Emma scans about such things.
- Telepathy and a sword beating a team that could realistically destroy the planet, and can't be hit. Judges, do the math. If you believe my plan (you should), I win in a ludicrous stomp.
OK, guys- my last posts before the deadline- I won't be online any more before deadline, so I'm going to post anything I need now. I'll break it in a few sections.
I. Soulsword
(please log in to view the image)
So, let's break down its properties.
The Soulsword affects the souls and breaks down magical enchantments.
Body durability=not pancure. Normally it hurts\damages only magical amps, creatures and frees souls (the only exceptions are the people linked to the sword on mental level- in their case body damage is caused as the result of soul magic- see Kitty Pryde above- but even then it violates normal laws of physics, hurting phased being). http://img396.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sworduz1.jpg
I.I. General points about Archmage
First of all, the "free addition" to Soulsword- promethium armour.
Aside from having shapeshifting and unlimited energy powers (MU's promethium is the same stuff Death Metal's body made of- and Digi's pretty familiar with Death Metal) http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?...ur037p06uv1.jpg
However, it's just the one perk of armour. It offers total protection against beings of magic, being unshatterable even by the most powerful spells. http://img222.imageshack.us/my.php?...sun2pg05iv1.jpg
Note also the sword's ability to destroy the spells.
And now, we're coming to the sweetest part. The Soulsword can't boost one's sorcerers knowledge or arsenal of spells, but it can do another thing, leading to considerable boost of magical energy- it gives access to unlimited dimension of said energy, thus the ability of cast spells is amped- they get unlimited energy supply due to energy constantly being channeled into the sword from Limbo: http://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?...ur039p18jx8.jpg
won't last too long. However, imagine that boosted by dimension worth of energy. Amazing? Spectacular?
And would hold Minion Prime still for a fraction of second needed to teleport next to him and struck Soulsword into the random parts of the body (since it's not physical sword, I can allow not to aim specifically for vital organs in one's body). That's all that is needed for exorcism.
Teleport, containment spell (can be aimed on your magic signature instead of your body, if you're moving too fast to see you with naked eyes) and one hit, which, unlike in MAs, can be aimed COMPLETELY randomly and I can aim for pretty much anything as long as it's the part of Minion's body.
I've shown in the writeup that Winding Way benefits from different ways of magic incorporated into it- and combination of Winding Way magic and Homo Magi magic is beneficial for the user.
Zach might be (and is) unable to affect human beings directly by himself (weakness covered by Amanda's soul-oriented magic). However, that doesn't mean he's a lamer in general.
Let's get the fact straight- Digi has a telepath with no shown proof of experience in mindscape fights "mind-to-mind". He's shown one single scan of Dark Angel withstanding blasts of raw psionic energy (borderline TK) to show her being qualified enough to enter the mindscape of one of the top 5 telepaths on the Earth and performing TELEPATHIC exorcism on her mind (exorcism of personality who also isn't that good in mind-to-mind shuffles and was kept in bay via being attacked by pleasant emotions visualised as dogs).
Judges, note! Any kind of telepathic battle "mind-to-mind", whether it happens in one's mindscape or on astral plane, is NOT different in terms of tactics- the only difference is battleground. They ALL are battles of skill, will and confidence/
And in both astral AND mindscape combat Emma is superior.
Other powers doesn't matter, they can be nullified as long as Dark Angel steps her foot into Emma's mindscape. Exodus was completely blocked from accessing his other powers, and unlike him, Dark Angel has NO proven experience of mind to mind fights with other telepaths: http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scan12ff6.jpg
So the depowerment can be performed without risking your own powers. Teleportation, density powers... everything gets canceled the next moment Dark Angel enters the mind to mind contact.
Dark Angel is a roadkill. And she became it once she tried to engage one of the planet's top 5 (or probably even top 3, since Sinister is inferior to her and Jean is dead) in telepathic combat.
Since she dies so quickly (it's telepathic version of Batgirl vs Karate Kid, really), killing Firemoon with a casual mind blast (both Karla Soften and Firehawk have ZERO protection from telepathy on THAT level) is a piece of cake.
And above I have explained what happens to Minion Prime.
Techno's role is just a bait- to make Minion Prime stand still for a second to perform assimilation and thus leave opening for the hit (I suppose you can't assimilate one's mind and dodge on top speed.
Whether the judges believe the Kryptonian amp or not is left entirely to them, I've explained everything about it. Techno is a sacrifice to take opponent's biggest figure (Minion Prime) out of the game.
As for Martian thing, I ask judges to disregard that part of my prep.
Considering (as shown above) the problem being in the mental blocks, ability of Emma remove mental blocks quickly mid-battle and the ability to do that on herself (inferior telepaths such as Dark Angel aren't that big of an obstacle)- I can get what I want mid-battle, should there be need to go physical with you.
===============
That's all for now. Good luck to my opponent

League of Champions Week Six: Charlotte Vs. Digi
Oct 27th, 2008 05:04 PM
). For Newjak's sake, and in case a replacement judge comes in this week (since it's happened a couple times) I have a full explanation of Minion Prime coming up in my first couple posts. Thank you for reading.
). I only went after Emma/M'Gann, who I dont actually expect to beat telepathically. Rather, I just engage her long enough to bring out M'Gann's inner demons, so that you are FAR less than peak.
)
the "digitalised" exorcism has one pecularity- it knocks the exorcised person out for a couple of hours and completely f*cks up her data.
