Batdude's Tourney Discussion Thread

Themes:
1. Energy Manipulator
2. Brick
3. Overall

Ideas for people.
1. Quasar, Atom, Spawn, Dr. Light, Magneto, Dr. Druid, Green Lantern (Short of Parallax/Ion showings), Electro, Shaman Nate Grey,
2. Thing, Hulk, Maul, Caitlyn Fairchild, Superman, Gladiator, Spartan (but looking at that list... would you really want Thing for your brick if your enemy is superman?)
3. Sentry, Silver Surfer, Morg, Martian Manhunter.

I'm not 100% sure but being one of the judges and the way Batdude explained his character rules to me, the above listing should be allowable. Wolverine has never been considered a brick, he has no energy manipulation powers... and his overall versatility sucks. Obviously he doesn't meet one of the 3 themes of this tourney. Course its up to Batdude in the end. 😄

Nope. The Thing and the Hulk are definitely VERY poor choices as bricks when you could have Superman or Gladiator.

😄 Yep.
Actually I was going to try to convince Batdude to restrict the 2nd character to being Nonflying bricks only... but i've been busy. 😄

a ton of his high end showings were because of the powerup Alexander Luthor gave him ( he gave sbp some of his anti matter enrgy which supposdely increased his powers) I could see someone being allowed to pick sbp if they use his later IC showings IE Superboy Martian Manhunter and Wondergirl giving him a little bit of a problem , and getting beta by the teram of Supermen

So you have like 1 comic with regular showings...

I'm pretty sure the answer will still be no. But try asking Batdude directly. I'd go with no myself.

Dr. Light might be a good pick to if you use his high end showings

I don't think that would be too good of an idea, when the other two characters on ALL the teams will be capable of flight and energy manipulation. It means that the Brick character will be all but useless against anyone but the OTHER brick character.

I'm not going to be in this tourney as a participant i'm just throwing out suggestions and actually its more like 4 or 5 comics

3 from infinite crisis

2 from crisis on infinite earths

and he's only had feats in 8 or 9 issues so.........

Also, batdude restricted several things...is T-Vo allowed? Honestly, it's only been sparingly used in the comics (Dominus, Sattanus, and Eradicator, that I can remember), and it's hardly understood. From what _I_ understand, it's a kryptonian art that focuses the mind to help resist psychic effects, or can be used to transcend to the astral plane to do combat, rather than the physical plane.

Either way, if we are going to allow T-vo, with it's vague, hardly understood background, is there anyone that will really be able to resist it? If a multiversal power like Dominus couldn't?

Don't worry, it's pulled.

Using T-Vo with the 20 minutes of prep could've been nasty though. 😈

Clever!

I don't know why anyone would want to pick SBP. He was totally unimpressive during actual combat.
