harvey can supposedly choose powers, but as far as what he's actually displayed, none of it has been on par with mitch.
mitch has manifested abilities such as: general cosmic powers, strength greater then that of superman, quantum speed which is akin to flash's speed force, ability to dimension/time hop, the powers of a black hole, intangibility, teleportation, quantum blasts which disincorporate what they strike at the molecular level, shape-shifting/transformations, ability to literally become the terrain/elements, telepathy (both local, and 'deep range'), and of course, absolute immortality.

the method in which RM dies, has nothing to do with what powers he gains. he can literally choose whatever ability he wants/needs. he is far more versatile than harvey, in terms of displayed abilities.

it's part of RM's powerset to 'die/kill himself' (hence his resurrection device.) killing himself in that way simply does not equate to a forum loss. now, if harvey managed to kill him, then you'd have something.

If he kills himself, that is a self bfr. Harvey is going to just stand around while he dies? And If he doesn't start the match out with the right power, Then he's screwed by telepathic intrusion. RM is more powerful. But he doesn't have the right tools to win. Unless by chance he happens to have uber telepathy or something when the fight starts.
you act like it takes a long while for RM to 'die'/resurrect. it doesn't. when he uses the resurrection device he can (and has) manifested powers while still in a standing position. hell, he's manifested new powers before superman could even hit him (which is what superman was trying to do in the instance i'm referencing.) the amount of time it takes him to 'die'/manifest new abilities, is quite miniscule - and it's part of his standard powerset/tech. it certainly does not constitue a forum loss, not matter how much you want it to.
and knowing harvey's attacks are almost always TP-related, mitch could simply manifest TP-esque abilities as well. this would, at the very least, help him defend against any TP attacks harvey launched. couple that with things such as flash-like speed, greater than superman strength, the ability to time/dimension hop, intangibility, etc, etc..... point being, mitch certainly has the right 'tools' to win.

Since when does he get all of those abilities at once? If he gets Tp, he'd need to keep it just to fend of harvey. And would he be as skilled? harvey on the other hand can manifest abilities while in mid battle.
after RM learned to control his power (near the end of his solo series, and during DC1M) i viewed him as potentially one of the most powerful characters in DC. the ability to choose whatever power(s) you want, is just insane lol.

Not at all. I just dont' see him necessarily getting the right four abilities at the start of the match. especially against someone who's TK shield can repel superman and who's telepathy can pwn an entire planet. And all wrapped up with a GL ring. That is some serious mojo to over come and get it right. the first time out the gate.
superman and powergirl managed to get in some good hits on harvey, without him really being able to counter at all. the man is not unbeatable by any stretch.
