Seems like a GL with her voice...but maybe she's not nearly that powerful. Nothing official yet, but if she's acceptable she'll be getting switched in for someone.

I think her sound constructs are effectively telekinesis. I know that's not exactly what they are, but the effect is the same. She'd be fine as Screaming Mimi, but with her Songbird gear Melissa breaks the "No TK" rule.

i think she's too powerful.... she held up the entire UN building by herself

In fairness, that wasn't a normal freat for her. That put her in the hospital. Just the same, she can make a giant hand pick you up and grab you, or close you up in a ball that most folks in this power bracket couldn't escape.

it would be like allowing Klaw... or a Green Lantern but saying they can't fly... or even the Invisible Woman

she's very impossible, if you speazk she can turn that sound into energy and shve it down your throat and stuff. she gave the new moonstone a lot of trouble and probably would have beaten her if of...wait i can't remember the rest, but I think someone interfiered with her attack.

Link for Terry McGinnis. If it just plunks you into the batman beyond homepage he's in teh heroes and villians section.

Flight is banned...the rest of him should be fine.

I don't care who knows my character or not, I'll crush them. I'm gonna post my characters combined stats and name on this thread in a second. I left a single clue to who my third character is on there in that little bio.

Name: IRON EAGLE

Height: 6 ft.
Weight: 200 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black

Powers:

Plunging his fists into the molten heart of Shou-Lao the Undying gave Eagle the power of the Iron Fist, allowing him to focus his chi and enhance his natural abilities to extraordinary levels. His speed, reflexes and senses can all be intensified, making his already formidable martial arts skills even more so. The ultimate expression of this focus is the ability to concentrate his body's natural energies into his hand, manifesting as a supernatural glow around his clenched fist. So concentrated, this "iron fist" can smash into its target with superhuman hardness and impact. However, the feat of summoning the power required leaves Eagle physically and mentally drained, and after a few uses, he would be unable to repeat it for awhile.

Other applications of the Iron Fist power include the ability to focus the energy inward to heal himself or outward to heal others of injury, as well as being able to telepathically meld with another person's mind. Even without the Iron Fist, Eagle is an accomplished martial artist, incredibly tough and durable, and is easily one of the most skilled practitioners of unarmed combat in the Marvel/Snk Universe.

He can lift up to 15 tons under optimal conditions. He can normally run at speeds at 65 MPH, but with his chi amping his natural born abilities, Eagle can run up to a 100 MPH.

Eagle's sensory organs have also been fortified. Like his namesake, the eagle, he has keen eyesight and is able to see 800 feet what the average human being sees at 20 feet. His senses of smell,taste, and hearing are approximately three times as those of a human being. All of these can be amplified by his chi.

Weapons: Iron Eagle carries a crossbow which fires specially designed bolts. He has a bolt to which a line of braided fiberglass is connected, enabling him to swing from overhead objects or to climb its length. He also has specially blunted bolts in order to stun an opponent at a distance.

Good one Sentry 👆

Sweet relief... I was worried you'd have a GOOD amalgam. 😉 And that hint to the 3rd guy was kind of obvious. Are chi abilities allowed to stack on each other? Hmm... I'm assuming it's what you were going for, as two guys who are primarily used for fighting skills seems a bit repetetive.

I'd post my guy, but the surprise element is simply too much fun. And even posting a name makes all 3 pretty obvious.

I'm not sure if Chi can give you added 35mph on running speed. Can Ironfist do that?

Speed and fighting skills will be my key. An Hawekeye'esque projectile once in while and a ton of chi for natural healings and beatings. 😄

I don't care if everyone knows my character. Were gonna find it out anyway.

Not Rand's Chi, but Terry and Rand's. Both are chi powerhouses. Terry's moves are blinding to most human eyes since he moves so fast. Ask his brother Andy who is supposedly faster than Terry.

Grr... I'm to the point where I know it really doesn't matter at all if I post mine. I definitely don't wanna start debating this beforehand, but I feel kind of sleazy knowing your character before you know mine.

I'll post it, gimme a sec.

Way to go Dizzle. We can kinda start pre-debating! Although don't cry when you lose. 😛

I'd post mine but one of my chars are still pending... lol... Go Hydroman!!

God Emperor Shaiclops Nachez'baernon (hehe, long names kick ass)

Too many varied backgrounds for any kind of cohesive story...

POWERS: Fires bursts of concussive force from his eyes. Super strength to the amount of 5 tons. Super speed and durability. He also possesses amazing blade skills, favoring twin scimitars. He has the innate power to summon harmless faerie fire and globes of impenetrable darkness. (NOTHING can see through it. It even blocks infravision...) And of course, he has prescience. It isn't nearly as powerful as it was during the spice trance, but the God Emperor already has a good idea of the powers of whomever he faces, and can literally see general battle tactics before the fight even starts.

Equipment: Twinkle- Enchanted elven scimitar. Glows blue. It is magically enchanted for balance, sharpness, unbreakability, etc.

Icingdeath- Another scimitar. It's edge is diamond, and it is enchanted for sharpness, unbreakability, etc. It also protects Shaiclops from any sort of fire.

Visor- Allows Shaiclops to regulate his optic blasts.

Speed bracers- Shaiclops wears speed enhancing bracers on his ankles. His already impressive running speed is amplified several times.

Mithril Chainmail- Very strong, yet lightweight and flexible, chainmail. Adds to Shaiclops's already tough hide without sacrificing speed or agility.

Bring it Sentry. I'm not going to pre debate, I'm saving it all for Sunday. You can forfeit just from seeing my general stats though...

Oh, and KVD, NO HYDROMAN FOR YOU!

I knew you chose Drizzt Do'Urden. It had to be you. Your sig gave it away. Good picks.
