Maybe an invisible dome around the planet, so nobody gets out under any means - forced or otherwise.
Nah. I need to uppercut people to Mars.

I do think it has something to do with the differences between tourneys and vs. forum battles. So like, Supes v. Thor, I have to side with the boyscout even as a Thor fan. But give me Thor all day in a tourney. More powers, and less weakness exploitation (and there's no need to get into whether those weaknesses truly make him vulnerable...it's enough that some people believe they do). And when the fights become more about the plans and tricks and traps, "Superman can power his way through it" tends to have less importance than in a vs. battle when it comes to judging. Creativity tends to be rewarded, and "I go to 11" isn't seen as creative, even if it's true he has a higher individual ceiling.
I don't use that specific example to troll; it's an example that's been proven true in tourney history. Supes has had zero success while Thor is among the most prolific. I think the only Superman to have any legs in a tourney was WAY back, and it was All-Star Superman (and Blair doing some shenanigans with DNA power cloning as only he knows how). Hell, I'd probably take Majestic before Kal, at least in a team or amalgam tourney. Regardless of how well you argue against k-nite or red sun radiation or magic or whatever, some judge will vote against it.
High herald or lower.
Hey I can mtch him... don't forget I ended up with a whole army of Silver Adaptoids at one point

I don't plan on winning as Godzilla, but with one of the best regens in comics, and the ability to already withstand blackhole level attacks, I get to rage and destroy until I'm put down . Plus I've never done this before so it will be a simple nd fun character to use.

I considered it but I don't think so. A one post limit would drive me nuts... I can be a little long winded if you haven't noticed lol

Pretty much. I'm more of a "cat and mouse" debater lol
Besides, tourneys just aren't really my thing anymore. I try not to invest myself that much anymore.

Everyone on the battlefield will be hard pressed with the mother of all storms I'll be bringing down with Thor. I'm talking magical lightning strikes, monster tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. I feel bad for cyclops, I really do.

zoom was my first thought tbh, but didn't think he'd be legal. flash was obviously my next choice. best pick in the field so far imo, unless zoom is considered legal. i have a couple guys kicking around. waiting to see if there are rule changes.

It's just Hunter, and I reckon he's legal, as long as self BFR is allowed i didn't want to choose him because of that, plus other reasons. Carver can have our sloppy thirds lol.
By self BFR I meant as every time he uses his powers he's in different timeline. Like Nightcralwer technically self BFRs himself every time.
