And I just browsed his respect thread....he's walking PIS. You might not plan on it, but I don't think anyone would want it just sitting there as a possible escape route.

2. Are they legitimately trying to make a case for Earth X Absorbing Man? Scant showings aside (it's 1 issue. Yeah, just 1) I think we need to realize that he could become smarter than a gaggle of supercomputers and instantaneously change into anything for the situation. It's like Braniac with The Doctor's powers (not quite, but almost).

Who the hell is Dr. Light?

A guy who would win us the tourney

Hey for the record, he was in two issues. Also, because of his low appearance count, we'll be using the "regular" AM's feat list(at least those we can convince the Judges are legitimate anyway). There's no way we could prove the whole super computer thing, because it's never established how intelligent that Ultron was. And anything we turn into COULD be countered by some means. He'll be difficult to beat, but a well balanced team backed by intelligent debaters could do it.

i can understand that... i'm sure there's some sort of compromise we can come to...

says you... 😛

We can make a rule for characters with absorbing powers. Maybe something like they can only use one power per round or they must use a round to absorb powers and then they can use the power the next round.

Nuh uh ... "regular" Absorbing Man has taken on things Earth X AM never has ... including Mjolnir and the Quantum Bands

😬

So whats the rules on drafting characters now?

Seriously .... wasn't there some discussion on drafting characters who had only a handful of appearances?

I'm sure I remember talking about that.

😕

Limiting opens more problems, because then you get "Well, I take this uber-powerful person, and we'll just limit x, y, and z and he'll be ok"

...it can really be taken too far. I'd rather stick to simply "yes" or "no" as much as possible, and the iffy limits on copiers already kinda bothers me.

...

And if you're only going to use regular AM feats, why not draft regular AM instead of Earth X AM??

If they used normal absorbing man then they would be dependant on the landscape or opponents,Earth X could do it all from memory.

More than 2.

😐

...

...and I'll repeat: if you're only using regular AM feats, why pick this other one that obviously has a slightly different power set (since the regular one can only absorb 1 thing at a time....when Earth X could become smart, which is absorption, then still do other stuff while retaining his intelligence).

Isn't that still a handful of issues?

Isn't this the main reason Sentry can't beat Superman, from not enough proof, even though he has high-end showings, and more than 4 comics?

Seen you edit it... maybe, but it's just that, you know, he's a Hulk level of intelligence (even though we do control him, right?).

Not his pick.

I'm not trying to whine about Black Alice, but I'm just saying that, why can't we pick Earth X AM, but they can pick a character that has been in 2 more issues than our guy?

I'm not as concerned with the issue numbers as his actual powers. Regular AM I really don't see too much of a problem with (though I'd honestly see him as a brick-type, not an energy pick). But this super-intelligent one seems like a walking excuse for PIS-type arguments and team-killing antics. I don't know who you have paired with him, but I'm sure the possibilities are mind-boggling.
