The only reason I gave you a hard time is because I know you are capable of entering this tournament and doing well. Regardless of the concept, I am sure you can adapt. If those who entered this tournament can do it (especially your arch-rival Papa-Smurph), then you definitely can to. If there any specific "broken" problems you see that the rules don't cover, the best way to show everyone (if its not obvious) is to enter this tournament and abuse the hell out of it while becoming champion.
But I will not force you to enter, nor will I mention it any further. All I will say is that I will be dissapointed if you do not.
Does the Grey Gargoyle need to have both "Death Touch" and "Organic Matter Transmutation" to have the ability to turn people to stone; ergo costing the same as Darkseid?
Powerless Rogue costs 6 points? Rogue with her regular abilities cost 16 points?
Multiple Man with his regular abilities costs more than Thanos?
Zolomon Zoom uses up the entire points allocation?
Wolverine knowing his opponents names only, costs the same as Dr Doom?
Apocalypse costs 10 points?
Champion without the Power Gem costs 10 points?
Wonder Woman with all her myriad equipment costs the same as Mimic without the ability to mimic?
The Engineer with her regular abilities costs the same as Fernus?
Someone may choose four Heralds of Galactus because each of them has a different name, but only one Green Lantern can be selected?
Ah..I see where you're getting at, but Thunderbolt is listed at 20 points and Time Manipulation is 19 points. A total cost of 39 points. So doing that costs more than the total points you have (25 points).
He can travel through space indefinitely, and doesn't need to eat or breathe. And anything he touches (excluding people as you said) with his right hand turns to granite. Plus I I recall correctly he was able to fight Thor on a couple of occasions. If you can argue that should be lowered to Prime Meta, I am listening.
I appreciate you thoughtfulness.
The fight with both Thor and The Thing at the same time suggests to me that Pre-Ressurection Thanos is still somewhat above Herald level to be able to handle both Thor and The Thing and not be dominated. Plus I believe he killed Adam Warlock (who is listed at 6 points).
That's what I like to hear!
At the time, no specific examples like you are actually doing right were brought up for me to answer. Just simple statements such as "this tournament is so broken" and so on and so forth.
I never called anyone a chicken just merely referenced a sound I may be hearing from a certain someone (Trickster).
Besides that was just a little good humor to get him revved up to join and fight, because he seemed like he was on the fence on whether or not he really wanted to join. What? I can't have a little fun now and again?

Kang is above Herald and thus not allowed because he is not on the list.
Buying utter devastation attack only applies to a special attack a character possesses and is rarely used that is very very destructive and sometimes wide-spread like Thor's Godblast or Blackbolt's Scream.
I can't think of any well known ability the Silver Surfer possesses that contains the same destructive capability. Him simply not holding back is not an utter devastation attack.
Thor throwing his hammer reallly really hard doesn't count as utter devastation. Blackbolt whispering (ala world war hulk #1) doesn't count as an Utter devastation attack. Hulk punching someone really really hard doesn't count as Utter devastation. Similarly Silver Surfer flying really really fast and hitting someone doesn't count as utter devastation.
Though I doubt you can go at lightspeed in a battlefield that is surrounded by a 10 mile wide forcefield in all directions without killing all your teammates and slamming into the forcefield at lightspeed knocking yourself out.

Ok, I am going to be as detailed as I possibly can to avoid confusion.
The forcefield prevents any one from leaving or going in. Characters cannot physically leave the battlefield, summon help from other dimensions, or teleport (like regular teleporters like nightcrawler) in or out of the battlefield.
Regarding BFR, if your character has the ability to BFR another character and you want to use that ability, you have to pay for it (unless they are Prime Herald class). If the character that was BFR'd from the battlefield has the ability to "un-BFR" him or herself, they can attempt to do so and return to the battlefield.
For example.
Darkseid uses BFR by using his omega effect on Regular Superman to remove him out of the battlefield. Superman cannot return since he possesses no un-BFR'ing powers like magic/dimensional teleportation/ etc. And his teammates cannot use their powers to summon him back to the battlefield.
If Darkseid BFR's someone like Thor or Dr. Strange, then it can be argued that Thor can use his hammer to send himself back to the battlefield, or Dr. Strange can cast a spell to send himself back to the battlefield. So, it would be best to use BFR on someone who cannot return to the battlefield.
The likeliless or plausibility of BFR (Battlefield-Removal) depends on your write-up and how well you can argue your point and convince the voters. Same goes for "Un-BFR".

Eva can we get a 24 hour notice on when the drafting is going to start, so that peeps can plan on the start time? Because I'm assuming that it's 1st come 1st served as far as characters to be chosen goes. Hence the advanced notice.
