Despero has more feats that put him above Superman strength than not. He doesn't fight teams. He stomps them.

I thought this was a herald level tournament, not a Superman-level or team-level. Again, there are other people already drafted how have strength and durability feats greater than Despero. Are they going to be banned too?

Which is why it puzzles me you bothered to pick Despero in the first place.

Because non of his physical attributes exceed those of individuals how have already been approved.

Despero telepathically F*CKED Martian Manhunter in V&V. Martian Manhunter had to be put in a coma in order for him to stop freakin out and burning. 😐

actually, he doesn't have more feats. i'll agree, he's likely stronger though but what's to say i can't amp ss to reach his level? would hulk's styrength level have been limited had he picked him?

and again -- he stomps teams because he is WAY smarter than most people on teams. he's a military genius and galactic conqueror. he never wades into a full team and wipes them out, he divides them and beats them 1 or 2 at a time.

and besides ALL that -- he is friggin' UBER-COOL and a very clever pick . . . 😄

Despite smashing multiple teams filled with multiple herald level characters?

I forget where in the rules it says that Martian Manhunter was the limit as far as telepathy goes. Telepathy has been approved from the beginning by Digi and mentioned by him several times. People who didn't prepare for that eventuality, only have themselves to blame.

How does that prove his is more durable that Juggy or stronger than Magestic? 😕

No, this wasn't a 'minor' tp attack. He seriously made MM his B*TCH. 😐

If I can't have Orion with the astro harness
I'll change my pick to sinestro

This logic says it would be ok to pick Adam Warlock with the soul gem.

i know you keep bringing that up, but HOW does he beat teams down? unlike nefaria -- who DID beat up all the avengers and t-bolts at once -- despero thinks, plans, and takes them out in small neumbers.

and yes he DID tp-f$#@ mm. so? doesn't mean he exceeds herald-level, or more specifically, sub-thanos.

It doesn't but then again it does say nothing that thanos would be able to do. when someone can go and beat a team of herald level beings and then Mind F*ck one of them as well his power range comes into question.

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with him. But I think Leo makes a good point:

Show me one scan of Majestic or Juggernaut flat out trashing a team on par with the JLA/JSA.

8th Day Juggs IS banned so that argument is gone.

warlock should be fine val. i'd have agreed to him just no soul-sucking. we almost chose him!

and you still haven't given me a specific reason to ban him . . . 🙁

Woah...this is 1 hot thread uv started Scoobless. Oh, i'm not takin part

Leo he took out Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, PowerGirl. Captain Marvel, Atom smasher, and I think Black Adam at the same time in virtue and Vice.

Please now. His telepathy was not in the equation during Virtue & Vice. He smashed them with his bare hands.
