Meh, I would have just assumed someone like EX Absorbing Man was banned, so even if we had thought of it, we would have simply dismissed it. We also thought limited-issue people were a no-no. We considered regular AM, but we also figured he's end up in the "brick" category.
Wrong on all 3 counts. Go figure. 😐
...so with the insane possibilities that that presents, I'm honestly going to say bran and goober are my favorites at the moment. We have a ton of stuff we'll be able to do with our team, but it's likely that they have more stuff planned than we have counters for....simply because that version of AM is rather godly imo (he became a math equation!). And we're ready for Despero, but he's obviously a good pick too.
So we'll see. We have a wicked good team right now, and we'll only make it better with our third pick, but I'm not ready to say my team's the favorite.
Otherwise, my opinion is still about the same. Pr and Rew improved themselves by taking Vulcan, and their chances are about the same as when this started. We'll see how the draft plays out though....still a round to go, and lots of debating to ensue.

......I would have agreed with you on all accounts 😬
WHY is he allowed?
HOW is he catagory one material?
HOW is it that someone who had such a fast beginning and END and no true way of knowing what he can and cannot become because he has never done it before be allowed? 😐

I understand bran and goober's position....I might not agree with the decision on him, but I respect your right to trying to get the best team you can. So it's not an attack at any one person, just general opinion.
And it's not a totally unstoppable combo. We already have it accounted for in various ways...and it'll be up to the judges to determine who's right (if we ever face in the tourney, that is).
...
...and for what it's worth, you already have 2/3 of your team, and it's very solid, so kudos on a good draft. I can't say it's unexpected (probably 4-5 teams were considering Despero at some point, so it's not a shock he went early) but it's a good start.
Just out of curiosity...

Because we have a reference in the standard version of Absorbing Man. It will be up to us to convince the judges that he can do what we plan on doing with him. If we fail to do that, then that just makes it easier for everyone else.
Would that mean that Earth X AM is your and Bran's shared character to debate for?

E-X AM is probably over the caps on his own, giving him 616 AM feats to draw on definitely puts him over the cap.Absorbing Man put up a good fight against Odin ffs.

Um....EX-AM should be banned .... regular AM looks like he should be banned as well.

Hey I've been saying from the start that he has the potential to exceed the cap, but we won't be using feats like that(so we won't be turning into the Odin Force, or anything like that). We plan on keeping him under Thanos level for the course of the matches, so I don't see what the problem is.
We draft Galactus ... but promise to limit him to only doing things that are 99.99999% of Thanos' power levels
