Sure, here's a breakdown....Participants each select three characters. Each of these characters holds a special place in the makeup of the Amalgam. These places are MIND, BODY,POWERS.
BODY-This character is the basic physical form of the Amalgam. The “Body” character determines the Amalgam’s base Strength, Durability, Stamina, Agility. These attributes may be increased through the use of the Amalgam’s powers, but the individual component characters abilities do not stack. So if you pick Superman and the Hulk, and you select Superman as you “Body”, you would have Superman’s base level of strength, but you would get stronger as your character became angry. You would not however, add the base strength level’s of Superman and the Hulk, to determine the base strength level of your Amalgam.
MIND-This character serves as the mental template for your Amalgam. It determines your characters Intelligence, Willpower, and Experience/Skills. Your ”Mind” character also determines which of your characters powers he can use effectively. (I’ll explain more about power usage in a moment)
POWERS-This character is basically just an added bonus. All this character represents for the Amalgam in question, is another power set that the character can draw his resources from.
On power usage….
The created Amalgam has access to ALL of his components powers…at least theoretically. The Amalgams “Mind” actually determines which of his powers he can use effectively. So the Amalgam is automatically proficient with ALL of his “Mind” characters, and is also proficient with any of his other components powers that his “Mind” could figure out fairly easily(it is up to person controlling the Amalgam to convince the judges whether or not the Amalgam in question could figure out how use his other powers). This is why it is generally better to have the component with the most complicated power set designated as you “Mind”. Things like Super Strength, and involuntary regeneration require no real thought, and are therefore automatically successful. Things like creating/sustaining constructs, altering the molecular structure of matter, and manipulating the electromagnetic spectrum, may or may not be successful, depending on how much of a stretch it is that the “Mind” character could figure it out fairly easily. Thus powers that are similar to the “Mind” characters, hold the greatest chance of being used successfullyAs for character selection, I think we should hold a mini draft between the two of us. We'd pretty much just take turns picking our three component characters(you can select first if you want).
Sounds great, DG. I'm all for it (though I'm not ure how well I'll do... but it'll be practice anyways, right? )
I do have a couple questions though. Namely:
1. So we get the powers of all characters?
2. And the skill in using those powers relys on the character you chose for mind?
If so...
3. Is that character new to all of the powers, or is he expierienced with his own?
Oh, and I'm really sorry for taking so long to get this thing started. Got alot on my plate this week, what with school finals and all. I don't mean to hold you up.

Hey what do you think of an Amazo (JLU The Return version) vs Doomsday's current version?
