Khell, did you ever update your body/mind/powers thing, since I know your first one was a bit askew?? Nataku still has to complete his character (unless he's sticking with Psylocke), and 2 or 3 still have to do the mind/body/powers thing. Otherwise we're pretty much ready to start this thing.
Then that leaves Nataku (final character) and SS (mind/body/powers), if I'm not mistaken (and hopefully some direction from Evangel about how we'll be running the 10-man thing). Personally, I'm having a hard time holding back General Kinky. He's more than ready to bust some heads...so hopefully we'll start in a day or two (and I wonder how much prep we the regular people will get with knowing who we'll face. How soon did SS tell people in the last tournament??)
Strength: The surfer has a base strength of class 100. He can enhance himself to at least class 200, allowing himself to lift 200 tons or more using his cosmic powers. When enhanced by his own internal nuclear reactor, he can multiply his strength to an infinite amount, proportionate to the amount of nuclear charge he can contain.
Durability: The forces binding together the molecules making up the silvery material that comprises the Surfer's "skin" are so great that there are few known forces in the universe great enough to overcome them. The inner portions of his body have also been made highly resistant to injury. Thus the Surfer is invulnerable to most forms of physical harm. He can withstand great extremes of temperature caused by the build-up of friction within atmospheres or the vacuum of space or (within limits) the intense heat within the near vicinity of stars. He can survive without difficulties in the vacuum of outer space and hyperspace, and his body can withstand the stresses of travel at near-light speeds in this universe and of even greater speeds, in hyperspace. His durability is also greatly increased based on the amount of nuclear energy he has stored. His healing rate is also enhanced, with a small amount of charge he can heal from simple weapon wounds in seconds, and with a heavy charge he can heal from a broken back or other serious injuries in a short time. As he becomes more angry, his healing is increased even further, to the point where he could hold a removed limb to his body and let it heal if he had a sufficent nuclear charge and was enraged enough... if he didn't use said limb as a weapon.
Stamina: The surfer's stamina lasts as long as his stores of Cosmic energy, nuclear fission and rage permit. The combination of the three makes him almost immune to exhaustion, as he can allow his nuclear charge and rage to build while he absorbs cosmic energy from the air around him.
Speed: By exceeding 99% of the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), the Surfer can shift himself into hyperspace, a dimension in which velocity is not limited by the speed of light. The Surfer can also compress his own bodily matter so as to shift himself into a so-called microverse. He once used his powers to travel through time, but may be unable to engage in time travel under normal circumstances. The amount of Nuclear energy he has stored also increases his movement and reaction times, increasing them proportionately to his charge, as far as to multiply them threesome, or even more.
Psionic abilities: He is extremely resistant to mental attacks due to his unique genetic code, having dna from superheros such as the Martian Manhunter, and being gnerally resistant to TP in the first place due to Galactus's infusion of Cosmic power. .
Matter manipulation/energy projection: The Surfer possesses vast cosmic power granted him by Galactus as a part of the process of physically restructuring the Surfer's former organic body. He has the ability to channel ambient cosmic energy into his body at will, and expel it violently as concussive force or gently as a means to restructure molecules according to his mental design. He can generate beams of energy through his hands with sufficient destructive force to level a large city or generate such subtle amounts of energy to restructure the molecules of the natural dyes within a plant to change its color. The Surfer can rearrange the molecules of matter to create other configurations, but he cannot transmute elements. The Surfer has certain cosmic energy enhanced perceptions which enable him through concentration to become aware of the patterns of energy which surround him. Accordingly, he can sense great concentrations or deployment of energy anywhere in the world. He has a special affinity for the life energies of living beings, and can use his cosmic powers to augment them to a certain degree. While he can use his power to revitalize life energies and heal the wounded, he cannot create life or restore life to the dead.
The surfer can also use his nuclear charge to enhance his cosmic blasts, as well as a energy blast in itself. He can send said blast through the ground at an opponent in addition to being able to use it to propel himself. If he overcharges to the point where he cannot contain anymore energy, loses control, panics, or simply decides to, he can release all stored energy (Nuclear or cosmic) in a gigantic Cosmic/concussive blast. The blast size is in direct proportion to the amount of energy discharged, therefore if he were to become extremely enraged after a long fight with a heavy hitter like superman, it's safe to say the blast would easily be powerful enough to take out a small country.
Other skills/powers:
Through a unique hormonal process, the surfer can create a biochemical nuclear charge he stores within himself. Triggered through pain, anxiety, anger, or just about any increase in adrenal flow cause by a fight or flight response, the amount of charge created is directly proportionate to the amount of hormones released. Not only this, but his own cosmic powers are increased as well as his adrenaline flows, and the limits to this power increase are infinite. During this increase he becomes stronger and much more durable as well.
Paraphenalia-
Costume Specs: None
Personal Weaponry: None
Special Weaponry: None
Transportation: In flying the Surfer usually makes use of an object known on Earth as his "surfboard", due to it's resemblance of Earth objects of that name. The Surfer's "surfboard" is a construct of unknown materials created by the vast cosmic energies of his former master Galactus. The board is covered with the same silvery glaze that the Surfer's body is covered with, making it impervious to virtually all forms of physical damage. Few forces short of the cosmic power of Galactus could affect it at all.
The surfboard is psionically linked in an unknown way with the Surfer's mind. Apparently only a being possessing the Surfer's cosmic powers can cause the surfboard to fly, and it is controlled mentally by him. The surfboard apparently taps ambient cosmic energy in much the same way that the Surfer himself does. Although the Surfer could conceivably utilize his cosmic power to fly without it, the surfboard enables him to fly without the expenditure of any of his own energy.
The Surfer can utilize the surfboard to attain 99% of the speed of light, but seldom exceeds Mach 10 (ten times the speed of sound) within the outer layers of a planet's atmosphere, and Mach 5 within the inner layers. (The speed of sound is about 770 miles per hour).

Haha, nice. Going back to the mind issue, I think it's going to work a lot like Communism. It's a great idea on paper, not practice, since there's no way to tell how well one mind would master his newfound powers, so I think there's going to be a lot of argument on whether or not one would be adept enough to accomplish one feat or another. Also, this makes the better incarnations of some characters have less of an advantage against their weaker counterparts. (Flash Wally vs. Flash Barry) And btw Nataku, your Hulk powers are gonna be useless, as Surfer is waaaaaaaaaay to smart and experienced to get angry.
I think you tweaked it so that it worked with pain and such, as well as mashing it together with Danger's powers, but I dunno if that's allowed, since it isn't really one of Hulk's powers (he's just anger). Also, you have the hormonal process increasing his power cosmic, which I doubt is allowed. This amalgam stuff is confusing....

Hulks powers don't work with just rage, they work with adrenaline. And surfer gets pissed off all the time, especially when he's fighting for something he cares about. he gets all, "I will NOT allow you to do this!" and such.
Allows Ethan Vell to sense danger on a universal level. As a result, he can perceive objects and individuals, the presence of beings, and cosmic threats cloaked by invisibility or illusions throughout the universe. He has little control over it but is learning to control it with the help of Moondragon.
Energy-to-Mass Conversion
Not really an ability of his, after he was turned into energy by Psycho Man the Nega Bands helped him pull himself together.
X-ray vision and Heat Vision
He possesses X-ray vision and heat vision similar to Superman.
Flight
Pretty self-explanatory; he can fly and travel at high speeds, even in outer space. He can also bolster his flight speed with energy from the nega bands.
Illusions
Ethan Vell is able to manipulate light and project it as illusions.
Nega Bands
The Nega Bands convert psionic energy stored within Ethan Vell's cells into increased strength, grant him increased resilience, the power of flight, the ability to fire beams of energy from the bands, and the ability to survive unprotected in space.
Photonic Energy
Ethan Vell can absorb and channel cosmic energy stored in specialized enclaves within his cells. The Nega-Bands allow him to fire it off as energy beams, to use it to form protective shields, or many other abilities. (See the Nega-Bands entry.)
Resiliency
His resiliency is similar to that of Superman. He's withstood blows from the Mjlonir. He can be rendered unconcious by a greater more powerful force. Repeated blows from the Mjlonir would have knocked him out. He can also bolster his durability with energy from his nega bands.
Spatial Aperture
Ethan Vell was able to generate a hole between the Negative Zone and the real universe. It kept whatever was trapped within the aperture in a stasis field between the two dimensions. If it was a person, they would be unable to move, but could talk and listen. It is unknown whether he still possesses this ability since he now has a connection to the Microverse (due to the actions of Kelly).
Super Strength
Ethan Vell posssesses strength far above the class 100 level. He can also bolster his stregnth and metabolism a little with energy from his Nega Bands.
Telepathy/Magic
He had a remarkable control over his body and bodily systems, could communicate telepathically, and could psychically mesmerize others, often casting illusions directly into their minds. He could levitate and perform telekinesis to a small extent. Ray-Vell also possessed a high degree of magical sensitivity, in detecting magical energies as well as sensing impending danger. Ethan Vell supplemented these powers with magical spells he has learned over years. He had a large repetoire of Druidic rituals, including one that can bridge dimensions.
Vectoring
Performed by focusing on a particular star, tracking into the light to use it as a guide and travelling beyond its speed. Adjustments have to be made, otherwise he'd track the light back to its source and end up in the past.
Weapons:
Nega Bands: Powerful Kree Nega Bands grafted to the wrist of Ethan Vell. See above for description of powers
