It means they can be killed by a shot to the head.

Col. America got his head cut in half and it didn't slow him down ... nothing has killed the Zombies yet.

No , but when Red Skull tore his brains out he died.

There's somebody from round one who really shouldn't be allowed...

EDIT: Unless it's classic.

Who?

If it's Northstar then it's the old version - already been covered.

Not sure why Abomination is still there though.

Because Ironman can beat him?

Goober ruled that Abom's losing record, coupled with his strength not being over Namor in water, is enough to let him in.

Ah, ok.
I was thinking lightspeed capabilities were a tad over Ironman...

Namor underwater eh? That strength level is a little >> IM ... but ok, good to know.

Yeah, he seems to be using most of the old caps from the failed tournament.

Oh, ok, that explains some stuff then.

🙂

So who does everyone think is the top 3 best and worse picks so far? 😕

The thing is, I'm not really setting caps for specific categories, just overall power(the only real exception being the "killability" limit, and the limiting of movement to sub lightspeed). Someone like Abomination may be strong, but that's really all he's got going for him, and because of that his overall power suffers(which is why he's allowed).

Alright now with those things out of the way, I'm going to need some more input from my participants and judges in regards to several of the picks. I'd have you all PM your opinions to me, but the way my inbox has been blowing up as of late, I'm likely to lose track of some of them. Because of that, I'll ask anyone who has a case to make AGAINST a character to post it, and only PM me if it's you defending your character and your trying to keep the fact a secret.

1.Warlock- It's been brought to my attention that Warlock MAY be to powerful overall to allow, or at the very least his "killability" may be somewhere along the lines of Sandman or Hydroman. So I'm going to need some instance that show either of these things to be either true or untrue.

2.Indigo- I don't know a lot about the girl, but I can't ban her just because she's a version of Braniac. I know that she's got at least one high showing, but how is she portrayed on average? Many people are team busters on occasion(just look at Wolverine and Spiderman), but how many times has she trounced Iron Man level characters in a one on one fight? If you guys have actual proof that she's more powerful, that's fine. But I haven't seen anything personally that would place her over the caps, so if you have an instance just post it(preferably a scan), along with any extenuating circumstances that where present so I can accurately judge the feat.

3. Cosmic King- I know literally NOTHING about this guy, so ANY scans that show the range of his abilities would be appreciated.

4. Selene- I'm about ready to ban her after reading some of the stuff she's accomplished, I'm really just looking for everyone's opinion on her before I do so.

Cosmic Kings only power is transmutation

I wonder who you are...

Ban cosmic King, transmutation is finicky and causes problems to crop up, Selene on the overhand get's an 'insta-ban' due to her life-drain ability.

I was told to take Eth's place.
