the plants win the average level fight. snowbird can beat them by resorting to her most powerfull forms in the second one, even grundy at his strongest shouldnt be up to the task
The ability to channel the abilities of (or morph into, in Snowbird's case) an animal resistant to, or outright physically incapable of, TP manipulation, or at least be able to resist it long enough to mount an offensive. I'm pretty sure Sasquatch has some mind control/TP resistance feats on his resume as well.
In the high end match Team Animal has the bigger guns.
... no, Sallis was cursed to become the Man-Thing because as a "man of lineage" he was supposed to guard the dream. They are "separate" but not really.
I think the same could easily be said of Tanaraq too, and if we remove the "Gods" from the equation, team 2 has nothing to deal with MT's reality manip
Well, for example, a starfish should be immune to TP manipulation because it doesn't have the same brain structure that a more developed creature does (doesn't have a brain at all, actually). However, there's likely an Aquaman comic out there somewhere that has him controlling starfish that I'm unaware of. Also earthworms (lack the lobes).
Besides that though, Animal Man actually has telepathy himself, and can do mind swaps like the Ovoids. He should be pretty resistant in his own right.
in a forest though, a rainforest at that, I can't imagine an acid strong enough to overcome his regen. He can reform pretty quickly after having his body entirely burned. A chemical defoliant might be the best option, but then team 2 would have to destroy the entire forest
that being said, there are people on team 2 MT is never going to deliver the KO on
those are generally unanswered questions, as the series K'ad-Mon appeared in was cancelled, twice, before anything really got resolved. It is not exactly like a possession, but like, if you "psychically probed" Man-Thing's "mind" you probably wouldn't find it.
Man-Thing has no mind with which to summon that power, however, Sallis alone (at one point as his mind was returned to Man-Thing) was able to draw all of the power of the Nexus into himself.
K'ad-Mon's powers were bound to something called the "staff of ages", but the exact relationship between K'ad-Mon and Man-Thing/Sallis is really convoluted in this regard. K'ad-Mon is the man of lineage, which is Sallis, yet they seem to have different consciousnesses. it sort of reminds me of how I understand the Walter/Tanaraq relationship, as they are clearly 2 separate individuals.
**************
EDIT: that being said, aside from being a massive damage soak here, I don't see Manny being the pivotal character in either match, unless we go with the "gods" angle [or his undefined reality manip powers, technically, he could BFR his opponents with little effort]. He will tie up the others, and will make the match very difficult for team 2, but he has no real win mechanism here (fear might work... might, depending on regen). I really think the question comes down to how well team 2 can defend against Mantis.
