2. Is Mr. Terrific low meta? I guess it was with prep in exotic battlefields, but I remember I think Blair doing some insane sh*t with him in that tourney delph ran on the other website.
=========
He's purely a prep guy, third smartest person in DCU. He's not even meta level by some standarts, and in case of 10 seconds prep is not that useful at all.
^ The only thing I'd suggest is to make a larger selection of powers to choose from. You're also probably going to have people debating/arguing why one power-set/ability costs less than another when it's obvious that the cheaper one is more "broken", so you'd probably want to be prepared for justifying point costs and the like. Outside of that, it sounds like it should do well if you generate enough interest.
Of course I'd probably remove certain powers and add in some that I missed as well as do some research to tweak the point systems according to their power scales.

Tbh, there's too much potential for loopholes with that format. There's some combination of stats that is overpowered compared to others that would be found in a tourney setting.
It's also too hard to debate in such a format without concrete feats. A "telepathy" vs. "willpower" debate, for example, would be impossible and fruitless, but similar debates would doubtless happen.
I'm not opposed to point-based systems, but I really think that particular one wouldn't work, even with some modifications.
Perhaps divide the points into equipment points, skill points, and power points or something like that. That way you can't give your character the OE and the Speed Force at the same time.

Again, it's far too conceptual to not turn into a mess. How do you have a speed vs. strength debate with no specific feats for either one? Now multiply that conundrum by at least 10 and you'd have your tourney.
I'm not intentionally trying to rain on your idea. New ideas are awesome, even if they don't happen. But I just can't see this one.
The first side picks a character...so lets say there 4 people and they agreed to picked Thor. The second side picks a character also say like Superman.
The first side is to see who can debut that character the best, the second side is just for volunteering only.
I don't think that would work, the only logical decision is pretty much to pick a tech guy for the low end.
I'm thinking of a tourney, where some sort of randomization or other factors leads to you getting a team partially different from what you drafted, and someone else getting part of yours etc.
