yeah.... i used to read Captain Marvel when it relaunched .... it took over a years worth of issues before he really got the hang of those bands.... Druid will be an amatuer with them
no.... you still have the telepathic power with a different mind.... you just don't have the experience or skill of the original
like how i've got Thor's hammer with Quasar's mind.... i'm still able to use the hammer (unlike regular Quasar) but i don't have the same skill as Thor
lol..... the truth is i was trying to come up with something super-heroic and nothing sounded right... Wally the Quantum God Boy, Quathor the Quick, Thorzar - Lord of the Speed Force... etc, etc......
then as i was typing in the body/power bit i just shoved in the next thing that came to mind.... hell, I like it anyway
No offence Evangel...... but this tournament would be a lot more interesting if the characters were fully aware of what they were capable of...... any chance of making a slight alteration towards that?
you can't pick one persons mind, anothers body then have the reflexes of the third.....reflexes are a mix of mind and body....... i'd go as far to say they fall completely under the "body" catagory
i'm sure you can have his basic speed as a part of his powers.... reflexes are just a little different.... it may only be a case of semantics
Personally, I'd like to represent all of us who want to have one persons mind and another fighting ability by saying, fighting ability is mostly just physical memory, not mental. You don't think a lot when you do kicks and stuff, your muscles are just used to doing these things and remember how to do them.
it may be called "muscle memory" ..... but it's still just a subconscious mental response to a threat.... try attacking a martial artist in a coma.... i bet you could beat the crap out of them no problem
I'd also reiterate my vote for only one "mind and body" rather than knowing everything that all three know. It makes it more interesting, and gives us some hard choices to make (especially the Flash-people ). And for any of the teams, certain advantages and/or disadvantages happen based on whose mind is controlling the character. It'll add a few weaknesses to what are otherwise all uber-powerhouse characters.
I agree with Digi. My guy has incalculable power within his physical body, and his nega bands. But he has the mind of a magician, so he's sort of at a handicap.
i'd say it was a harder situation for the magic people....... whoevers mind is in control in a "Flash" person get access to the powers of that person..... if he moves fast then the mind works the same as the Flash's mind...... it's part of the power to function at those speeds
the magic people on the other hand ie. Dr Strange, have to put him in the drivers seat or all of his magical knowledge becomes useless
Good point. So it makes some tough decisions for almost everbody (since nearly everyone has either a magic-user or a Flash). But I like the extra dimension of strategy that it adds. And besides, I made my team with these rules in mind...if we switched to "everyone's mind is together" it would throw some of my plans off for fighting other teams.
yeah..... i don't know if the whole "use one mind only" was a rule at the start..... i was a little surprised when i heard it in this thread....... but i think i can handle it..... some may have a tougher time
K Von Doom for instance has a magic user and Martian Manhunter..... he'd need to put the magic guys mind in charge, but he loses out on MM's skill and experience with telepathy and control of his molecules
stormfront13 has two magic users.... so she loses some power there
