newavenger one thing, if your going to take part in the tournament, your going to want to use spellcheck after all your post. There's going to be a limited amount of post for each person to use, and you don't want to have to waste yours, explaining what you already said. Normally it's not a big deal, but in a tournament it's a risk you don't want to take.
Alright, I've been reading up on amalgam tournaments, so here's how it goes for those who don't know.
One of your characters must be designated to be the 'Body' for you amalgam. You will have this characters BASE strength, durability, and agility(though not necessarily speed). Now if your other characters have the ability to increase their strength, that can be factored in, but you DO NOT add the total strength of your characters when determine the strength of your amalgam. For instance, if two of your characters are Hulk & Superman, The best thing to do would be to designate Superman as your characters body(because his strength and durability are higher than the Hulk's base.), and then ADD the Hulks ability to increase his strength by increasing his anger. If you do it the other way around, then you would have Hulks strength, but would only benefit from Superman's if you tried to sun dip(or something to that effect).
Also, you must designate one of your characters to be the 'mind' of your amalgam. This is the character who you will draw skills and such from(though you will still have the ability to use the other characters powers as well as the originals do). Your 'mind' character is who you draw your intelligence and willpower.
Now you can mix & match your powers from different characters, but be careful, because some powers do mix well with certain minds. For instance, you pick Silver Surfer as your mind, Doomsday for your body, and add Hulk's ability to increase his strength through rage. Now the problem is, Surfers the calm type so he won't benefit much from the Hulks rage increase.
The basic goal, is to create a character that's powerful, but who's abilities still makes sense and compliment each other.
I hoped that helped anyone who was having a hard time understanding how your amalgams fit together. Just ask if you have any questions(I'll help as much as I can).
Also(I just thought of this), for those that are planning on using a Green Lantern for a part of their amalgam, remember to pick a mind for your character that has a high level of willpower. A Green Lantern's level of power with his ring, is directly related to the will of the user. So if your not going to have your Green Lantern be your mind, make sure whatever mind you DO pick, is just as willful as the GL, otherwise your effectiveness will decrease.
