Nightcrawler has been chosen

No taking limbs off while teleporting though.
The person who chose Dr. Octopus has switched him for Dr. Octopus II (a woman). Here's the link...
http://www.spiderfan.org/characters/doctor_octopus2.html
Basically Doc Ock with some low-level lasers (to burn webbing) and a low-to-mid level forcefield. She still lost to Spidey though, so even though I've never heard of her she seems within the limits.
And yes Dr. SpiderHulk, I got your pick...I might have forgotten to PM you back saying it was ok. It should be back on page 1 somewhere (that shouldn't reveal much).
Also, EsteemedLeader is our Alternate #2. I think I'll PM if someone misses the first draft, then if there still isn't any activity about midway through the second draft I'll replace them and add in an alternate.
While I'm thinking about it, it hasn't really come up yet but here's a copy of the rules for our picks...
Limits: In general, the limit is "powerful street level" which includes up to Spider-Man and his villians. Carnage is a bit beyond them, so he is banned. But anything “below” Carnage is acceptable.
-Strength: Class 15 (Venom limit).
Speed: Enhanced Human (Spider-Man limit)
Durability: Below Luke Cage (i.e. Cage is banned, any below is ok) Black Panther is ok.
No magic (that includes anything…spells, items, etc.)
No telepathy or telekinesis (Psylocke is ok though, and non TK shields that don’t make the character ‘beyond Carnage’ are ok)
No phasing, illusions, invisibility, or flight
Energy Projection Limit: Upper limit Cyclops. Acceptable picks would include Gambit, Electro, Shocker, etc.
Characters come equipped with “standard equipment” (I'm not knowledgable enough to know what each character's standard equipment is, but Bats will at least have a few batarangs and his "latcher" and whatever other standard stuff he normally has, Cap will have his shield, Daredevil will have his cane-weapon thingy, Wolverine will have a couple fanboys to use as a human shield, etc.)
Specific Banned Members: Longshot, Luke Cage, Havoc, Carnage, Omega Red...just to give some examples.
Character Notes: Cyclops cannot take off his visor.
Other Notes: Characters do NOT have to be from comics. But you must still provide a credible link/bio for them and they must meet the criteria for the tournament. Also, characters will understand that they are in a death-match scenario. Thus, an argument of “Spider-Man never kills” is invalid.
Darkhawk has been selected.

The glider will be taken away (because of the no flight rule) but otherwise he seems within the rules.
