From Darkcrawler:
So, now that teams are complete, I did a little writeup what I think of them. 😄
The Uniqueness Rating tells how interesting the teams are to me. It doesn't tell anything about overall formitability.
1. Newjak/Blair Wind
G.L. Kyle Rayner (BW)
Shaman (Team)
Juggernaut (Newjak)
I'm liking the Lords of Chaos team. They sure have a nice stability with an powerful cosmic force, powerful magic, and sheer brute force and durability. Only thing that might be concerning is the Juggernaut's lacking ability to fly...when most teams have all their members in the air.
Team Uniqueness rating: 7.5/10
2. Leo/Kahn
Silver Surfer (Team)
G.L. Hal Jordan (Kahn)
Loki, dammit! (Leo)
The Plot Device😛 team is strong as ever, and they have even more plotdeviceness with the addition of plot device magic from Loki. All are powerful characters.
Team Uniqueness rating: 6.7/10
3. Batdude/DC
Magneto (Team)
Captain Atom (Batdude)
Morg (DC)
😈
Physics R You
Team Uniqueness rating: 9/10
4. AW/Accel
Quasar (AW)
Ronan the Accuser (Accel)
Hyperion (Supreme Power) (Team)
Cosmic Guy team is cool. Both Quasar and Ronan are very unique choices. Only time will tell how the relatively unexperienced Supreme Power Hyperion will do here against some more established characters.
Team Uniqueness rating: 9/10
5. GF/Psyquis
Cyborg Superman (GF)
Thor (Team)
Ray II (Psyquis)
Cyborg Superman was certainly someone I couldn't except, unlike Thor. Ray II seems interesting, it will be fun to watch how he is handled in Brute and the Beast team.
Team Uniqueness rating: 7.9/10
6. DL/Superherovandal
Gladiator (Team)
Martian Manhunter (SHV)
Orion (DL)
Martian Manhunter is a character I didn't think to be in tourney like this. But him combined with Orion and Gladiator is interesting, and this team clearly has lot of raw power, so maybe Martian Manhunter will compensate to that with his more exotic powers. Last of the Mohicans team will be followed by me.
Team Uniqueness rating: 6.9/10
7. Khell/KVD
Black Bolt (Team)
Beta Ray Bill (Khell)
Witchfire (KVD)
Silent Thunder is a solid, powerful team. Witchfire is character who I don't know nothing about, so it will be fun to see how he works with Beta Ray Bill and Black Bolt. And Black Bolt and BRB are also very nice characters.
Team Uniqueness rating: 8.2/10
8. AJ/Sam Z
Majestic (??)
Black Adam (??)
Supreme (??)
What Royal Rumblers lacks in something, it makes up with Superman type characters. Certainly an interesting choice to not have any cosmic characters, or magic besides of course Black Adam. Will be nice to watch. Haven't also seen a lot from Supreme.
Team Uniqueness rating: 7/10

Hey we got the team we want 😎
Don't bet on it.
Ii Plastic Man is being banned due to his "killibility" level.... then so should the Juggernaut
Juggs has been reduced to a skeleton and he just kept going, his skin/muscle/organs/blood/etc, etc all regenerated within moments
Being stupid and having a weakness to telepathy doesn't change the fact that "nothing can stop the Juggernaut" (physically speaking)
Also, Juggernaut has taken hits, without flinching, that have hurt Galactus

Scooby I hope your not having a handover cuz I dont want to make this a bad day for you or anything....but PM cant be hurt by TP...or by anything really. Juggs CAN. 😐

However, PM can be taken out, even if only for a short period of time. In JLA: Terror Incognita, the White Martians made a reference to being able to read PM's mind via telepathy. They then burned him in half with their heat vision.

It doesn't change the fact that Juggernaut is physically unkillable, therefore he's way ofver the durability limits

"General" level, yes. But not concrete.Oh, and my initial reaction is that we should stick with Classic Juggernaut (if he's still a pick). Trion/8th Day we don't have definitive power levels for. If anyone can prove me wrong, fine. But to my understanding, there's so much speculation around the 8th Day and/or Trion incarnations, that they very well might be much higher than the limits for the tourney. Without a concrete level to put them at, I'd be inclined to stick with Classic Juggs....who is a badass anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Digi already let him through
