Batdude's Tourney First Round Draft

Heh... 😛 Okay what's the worst that could happen...if we limit Vulcan(Darwin, Sway, Petra) to one adaptation per match?

Come up with one adaptation that would make him unbeatable. Say his opponents are Shaman, Maxima and Firelord.(Tournament Rules 😏).

Well ... if his partner is Surfer then he could either slam into him at lightspeed and make him invulnerable or hit him with his most powerful attack ... making him invulnerable.

Meh... Darwin just seems really, really cheap to me.

Darwin can force his evolutions....he doesn't actually need to be slammed into to evolve.

I suppose that makes it worse?

Yeah, probably worse. And like Scoob said, there's loads of stuff that could easily happen with Darwin. Even if pr and Rew aren't planning on that aspect of him, you'll have judges saying "well, Darwin is a beast and I'm kinda torn but he's the deciding factor for me in this match. Pr and Rewmac get my vote"

And no one's addressed how a brilliant being made of adamantium (Earth X AM) isn't above the limits anyway.

As for Darwin I'm torn...... 😛

Anywyas I think the adaptation part should be removed but whatever powers he had shown at the time would be ok. Basically whatever evolved into last since there would be no grounds to prove how much farther he could go.

Meh, interesting Juggs comparison, but AM isn't vulnerable to tp. And Earth X AM is also a genius....Juggs, not so much.

...

And limiting people generally annoys me, but I guess it's better than just letting him in with a complete Darwin....we'll see what BD thinks.

That's what you're not supposed to tell him BD. Come on, man, start showing some objectivity as the tourney director.

So if 1 team drafts Magneto, we can deal with him. The rest of us are still in trouble.

The whole character just seems a little cheap...a 2-issue Absorbing Man who doesn't actually absorb. He just thinks of stuff and it comes true. He was just given PIS powers by the writer so that he'd be a convenient means to trash teh entire Avengers.

really? sweet... 😛

nah, but seriously... i don't think darwin was that big of an augment to his abilities (without darwin he was still able to do things like manipulate cyke's blast (very dr. light-esque), and was a match for most of the imperial guard). to be honest i dont want an unfair advantage, i honestly dont, i just want someone who can compete at this level... 😬

and im still surprised nobody has brought up sway's powers... 😕

There are others who can manipulate electromagnetic energies...

Is this really any worse than a GL? 😐

BD seems to be on your side (I just talked with him) so you're probably ok.

Oh. And Sway should be banned! 😖hifty:

But an adamantium missile can hurt GLs...I'm not sure I could say the reverse is true.

What's wrong with Sway...nothing wrong with her 😏...but in all honesty aren't her powers limited...in terms of area...it's not as if she stops time on the entire Earth. Decent power IMO...especially when your opponents have the speed to escape the effects.

Time manip is banned so her powers are irrelevant.

Boo-yah.

*small victories....gotta take what we can get*

...

And even with someone like Magneto, EX AM could just insta-change into something he couldn't manip. It's not just adamantium, it's nigh-godlike changability that bothers me.

Ah..well that explains it 😛

She still has that other power...to see bring up illusions from the past...not that it would help or anything. Might as well go with Squid boy...

Surprise me during the tourney....that's if it's allowed...it's still sort of time manipulation isn't it? 😕

And it will be met by a shield.

Then the adamantium's atoms get rearranged into pretty bunnies.
