The Return of the Draft Threads: Bonus Round Edition

Sorry about posting this in the general tourney thread, here is my team:

Chamber http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/spotlight/showquestion.asp?faq=10&fldAuto=93
Husk http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/spotlight/showquestion.asp?faq=10&fldAuto=111
Surge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_%28comics%29
Gideon http://www.mutanthigh.com/index2.html

I originally had Guardian instead of Gideon but King Mungi said that he had already been banned. While Gideon is an immortal, I think he falls into the same catagory as Slade and Deadpool

Also Dizzle mentioned a fight between me and Blair Wind (possibly set for Saturday). I don't have a particular preference as to where we fight (although a more open area might fit our teams better)

I can't get the link to work for Gideon so here is his power set
Powers & History: Gideon's mutant power was the ability to absorb the powers and skills of anyone (or even a robot) in close proximity. The absorption didn't seem to affect his physical appearance, however. Gideon was also a mutant immortal, and used his business connections to play power games across the globe. He had Sunspot's father killed, and then convinced Bobby to leave the New Mutants, so that he could learn how to run the business from Gideon. Gideon believed that Sunspot was going to be the next External, and wanted to control him. Instead, he ended up increasing Sunspot's power levels to an incredible degree, until Bobby was freed by X-Force. Gideon's life was drained by Selene, proving that no one lives forever.

Gideon bio:
1. http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/characters/showquestion.asp?fldAuto=496

Longshot, Spider-Man (current), Super Skrull, Plastic Man

...

And if Plastic Man wasn't (most likely) beyond the killability limit, I'd be serious about that team.

Oh, and pinned.

Nice call on Super Skrull and yeah Plasticman is above killability.

......well unless anyone has too much of a problem the much depowered son of odin is mine for now..........cuz Dizzle said so 😛

but seriously since he ok'ed it this round, unless someone has a good reason why he shouldnt be allowed...hes mine

also the fact that he has a glaring weakness right?
and he got punked by a tin man.......

common hes within the caps...

I'll be going with my old team. Maybe if I'll find something else, I'll change...

teleportation is more for long range things like transportation. And the khan, sorry but Im not doing any bonus rounds (I wanna prepare more for the finals). Im gonna just do the FFA. So, if you can, find someone else to fight, aight man?

I remember discussion, but I remember the general consensus being a yes... His strength hasn't been shown to be anything more than low class 100, his lightning surely isn't more powerful than Iron Man's stuff... Heck, I'd say he's insanely similar to Thunderstrike in terms of overall power. Except he has a badass hammer instead of that girly ass mace thing. And he's a hippie. 😛

Was there any specific reason for the bannage, or did he just look too powerful cuz he's a watered down Thor?

I think it was his teleportation that got him banned

Oh come on....there was about twenty pages of discussion on why Gideon was banned the first time around..... and Superskrull wasn't allowed because Invisible Woman and The Human Torch were both banned

I think Digi was just joking about his team. And I guess khan is just gonna have to change that character.

and about the teleportation thing, hes mostly only used it to transport places (or big ass bombs), not in straight up fights right? sorta like Dr. Light? hmmmmm

Hmm i wonder if i could have a martian fighting machine (war of the worlds not Jonnz....)

Who drafted War Machine? did they mean the James Rhodes War Machine?

I dont think they did....

Well there's the other version from U.S. War Machine (still Rhodes but slightly different armour.... i think)

......and there's the new version from the Sentinel Squad comic (not sure how different that one is though)
