Just because something's made of a hard metal does not make it incredibly sharp or deadly. Cap's shield is obscenely resistant to harm, but doesn't just slice through things, because it isn't designed to. Even Wolverine's claws, which would be comparable to Pred weapons, can't cut through steel (Colossus) without a significant amount of force. (more than Wolv by himself can produce) Hard metal does not guarantee infinite slicing power. It can be made into a sharper edge, but it can still be blocked by lesser metals. (sorry, but the total disregard to physics was REALLY getting on my nerves)
Oh yeah, and plasmacasters can blow a hole the size of a football through an unarmored torso... That's from Concrete Jungle. It's not quite titanium, Cyclops would be hard pressed to blast a hole through a thick layer of titanium with his visor on, but the casters are still fairly powerful.

Vote count? Just makes my life easier, and things go smoother on Sundays when I alreayd have a decent idea of the voters and such...counting 1-2 pages instead of 9-10.
i'm gonna have to vote for Khell as well.... i think Newjack's weaponry would be able to get through the toned down shields with a direct hit... but not with enough power left to kill him in that one shot, and after the shield is down he'd port out and he'd know exactly where Mauler is
Mauler's armour is weak around the gut and with Midnighter's skills and Grail's firepower one or tewo direct hits should KO/cripple (seeing as Deathstroke's armour is not foolproof)
it should be noted that the plasma caster can probably be set to different levels of intensity (regarding Gordan's gun/hand) and also that Batman said he couldn't cut through titanium "in time" not "at all".... seeing as he was about to be doped up
I'm conceding the match guys sorry. I think I put up a good fight and proved my character can take everything his can dish out. Anyway the the time this tourney was taking up I can't have it anymore. Between School and football I just don't have the time and I don't want to potentially take a fight and then really not be able to put forth my best efforts which I haven't been able to do. So Khell good job you have a great character I hope he makes it to the finals. Also I don't want people to think I am trying to cheapen his win I would like to say that it looked like he was going to win anyways based on the voting.
Good luck and voting Khell.
