Silverspider/Dizzle's Team Tournament: ROUND 2, Fight 1- illadelph12 vs. Blair Wind

Monolith's size and durability enable him to endure these stresses. During the prep hour Monolith hones his new found flight skills and by doing so I now have a heat and concussive force blast firing missile capable of achieving the maximum speed limits of the tournament.

I'm just using Mach 10, as I said in my previous post. Interstellar sub light speeds are banned, but the tournament limit is mach 10. Monolith is basically a 30 ft walking planetoid. It's perfectly legal.

Cold hearted, but legal.

I have a living guided missile on my team.

With heat blasts...

And class 100 strength...

And concussive force blasts...

Well the problem is he is still capable of surpassing the speed limit, and that's why various other members were banned. So even though he limits himself to just going mach 10, he still can surpass it and didn't Dizzle frown on doing stuff like that?

Well if Dizzle or Silverspider say it's ok, then so be it.

I see your point Mungi, but Dizzle specifically said that power amping beyond the limits is illegal. Flight is not an inherrent ability of Monolith, and KK's flight ring gives Monolith the ability to fly, which I will limit to the tournament speed cap and not argue to surpass. That's perfectly legal.

Booster Gold, another flight ring utilizer, is also in this tournament (well, was), and was well within the caps. So long as I don't surpass mach 10 I'm fine, and within the Earth's atmosphere that's the best I could do anyway.

Ability to go over the speed (or other) caps was banned... otherwise everyone would pick Superman level characters and just say they were sticking within the rules

I know there was a lot of debate with Stormfront over Northstar/Aurora .... we can't bend the rules for one person and not another

Intersteller speed - 👇

😆

It's perfectly legal.

I'm not power amping beyond the speed cap, I've limited it to mach 10 to meet tournament regulations (like Nascar restrictor plates). It's within the atmosphere of a cellestial body anyway. The battlefield is on Earth, so I can't achieve sub light velocities, nor would I argue that point.

Is that fear I sense, Scoob...

yes it is . . .

damn authority guys think they make all the rules . . . . 😖hifty:

Nah, I just like big-ass avatars. Is it illegal?

Could a flight ring boost him past mach 10 within Earth's atmosphere?

I've never seen a ring bearer fly to a degree of excessive sublight speeds on a planet's surface, the sheer forces of a planet's atmosphere won't allow it. Mach speeds, however, are an exception. Booster Gold has flown cross continental very quickly, but the actual speed has never been quantified. I'm not going to argue that Monolith zips around at mach 70 or 99.9% light speed, I'm staying firmly at the established cap because as stated, the upper limits of flight ring speed within atmospheric conditions has never been quantified, but due to atmospheric limitations (and tournament rules), I, nor a character in the comics, normally exceeds Mach 10 within an atmosphere. I'd slag Monolith with the wind sheer and friction if I did so.

so, what about the gamora learning karnak's trick?

Oh, you mean the size an item up and attack stress points technique? She already has that ability, actually. Thanos trained her on how to down just about any humanoid with a blow by striking pressure points, etc. KK's simply going to train her to be more proficient in this ability and extend this knowledge to inorganic materials as well. Plus, it's common knowledge that martial arts masters of such high degree and caliber pick up techniques in short spans of time. The stress point technique is a skill, not a power. Gamora should have no problem picking up this skill, she's arguably more adept in martial disciplines than Karnak and Mantis anyway. She's already highly skilled, and she's far stronger and more durable than KK, learning this skill simply opens up another avenue of attack for me.

Inside of one hour? zero chance of that happening

I haven't seen it either. It seems like a viable tactic, but keep in mind that even with the ability to fly very fast, Monolith's reaction times are normal, so I still wouldn't technically call him a speedster just yet. Continue.

Ok I have my own questions:

How is it that Vertigo gets weapons from thanos' armory? Shouldnt she only get the weapons Gamora has ON her at the given time, if she gives them to Vertigo?? How do they get weapons from the armory? 😕

During my prep time however:

Learning from my last battle my team mutiplies to the max (5 DB Dupes and the Prime, and 5 Wendigo dupes and the Prime)

Crystal and Powerhouse realize that Radiocative mans and his durabilty where a challenge in the last battle and come up with different ways to deal with it 😈 (Ill get to that later). I get my DB dupes to take the powers of 3 Powerhouses and 2 Crystals. The Crystals then create lighting strikes to hit the powerhouses charging them up.

The main powerhouse gives his suit up to DB Prime the weakest of my characters, letting him survive in space and has some protection.
The Crystals also take the sand from the desert and spread them around the Wendigos and harden it, creating spiky body armour, without decreasing mobility.

Also for my benifit: How does the Legion Rings work, because I have a comic scan showing them being able to be pulled in a tractor beam.

Gamora's weapons are from Thanos's armory. I guess I should have been specific.

The blasters and dagger (which was forged to kill The Magus persona of Adam Warlock) that Gamora wields were given to her by her dad, who happens to be Thanos.

Sorry about that B-Dub.

So she has two blasters and a dagger?

what intensity are the blasters...well blasts?

are all weapons given to Vertigo?

Oh, and the ring creates an anti-gravity field around the bearer. It utilizes anti-gravity element number 152. It negates both celestial body generated gravitational fields and the vacuum of space enabling the wearer to traverse aerially by force of will in any environment.

my first attack will be posted tomorrow, lifes getting a little complicated with my grandfather about to "go" so Illadelph your more than welcome to take the first non prep post.

She has 2 plasma rifles, a blaster pistol, and a specially made dagger.

I'm not sure what the payloads are on Thanos's armaments, but I'm assuming given his nihilistic demeanor and how powerful his army is that they pack quite a punch. I'm not sure if the specific intensity has been quantified in the comics.

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather man. How old is he?
