Well he said we only get one MIND, but we get all the experience and skill of the other characters... and giving someone cyclops' blasts would also be like spider-mans strength, as it comes with his body and his genes...
I think we should be able to take Cyclops body, put spider-mans spider-abilities (Strength, speed, sense) into it, and equip him with hawkeyes shit and have hawkeye command the whole package.
It's one body (which you'll choose) with all the minds mashed together. Unless the power is specific to the body (like strength or durability for example), but most powers will simply transfer (like Cyke's eye beams, Spidey spider-sense, and any fighting ability). And the minds will transfer everyone's inherent fighting knowledge and other 'powers' (like Hawkeye having great marksmanship).
So ideally you won't be losing any powers or experience in your amalgams...the only way that could happen is if you had two strong or durable characters, and you'd have to choose one of them.
Not quite sure yet, but let's say you have Cap, Daredevil, and Hawkeye. Do you get the cane, shield, or bow/arrows? Or all three? In a case like this I'd probably say something like "You'd be able to carry two of the three. Choose." At this point, if they're smart, they say "Bow and arrows, and Cap's shield." They'd still have DD's powers and fighting prowess (as well as Hawkeye's), but possibly not his strength if they picked Cap's body.
Also, Agent Zero?? Yay or nay? I really don't know much about him, I just reacted after I saw LP saying he'd beat Hulk, but Khell backed him as an acceptable street-level guy.
Yeah, ok. Agent Zero seems fine...I looked up a bio on him too, and two people (besides LP) have backed him. It'll be nice to have a foil to the healers. He's hereby reinstated into the draft pool.
Sure, Hulk's fine. You'll just have to stay as Banner or you'll go over the strength limit....but I'm sure someone will figure out a way to use that to their advantage.
P.S. Stan Lee is street-level. You'd have the omnipotent power of endless alliterative phrases!!
Ok, so we pretty much have everything set. One last thing...
Don't be stupid about picks and try to pick characters that are way too powerful. Between me and 15 other people, no one will be "sneaking picks through" that are a little over the limits, so spare yourself the trouble.
And to mix things up I made the "doesn't have to be comic people" rule. But if you can't find a good link, the website to their TV show, movie, video game, book, etc. won't work. Establish that they're within the rules, or at least provide a bio with some rough powers, or else you can't use them. This should stay primarily comics...the extra options just make it a bit more intriguing.
I'll post this all again in the draft thread, along with a fresh copy of the rules.
No, just sign up. When the sign-ups are done, I'll make the first draft thread. There won't be an announcement like there was for the sign-up thread...it will just happen.
K, how about this. Once we have 15 signed up and at least a few alternates, I'll come on and announce who is "in" and also that the first draft thread will be up in about a day or so. It'll give everyone a little bit of time, but won't tell you exactly when the thread will be started (even I won't know for sure since it will depend on my schedule).
I doubt you could miss the draft entirely, you'd just end up last in line for chasracters. Not a problem unless you really had your heart set on Spidey, Wolverine, Batman, or the like.

What about a character who can effect other characters with super powers?
Like there's this old man who can screw with other characters super powers with great concentration, would he be allowed?
Then you'll just have to make it up in the 2nd round of drafting and have less people to choose from. If a person misses two drafts, however, at that point I'd probably call in an alternate to replace him/her.
It'll depend on an individual basis, but I'd say he's probably ok. Would he beat Carnage or violate any of the limits? If not, then you're probably fine (but since I don't know everything about him yet that isn't an official ruling). Sounds like an interesting choice. Oh, and your boy Agent Zero is back in.
