If he can copy anyone then I'm against him, if he can only copy mutants I'm fine with it. Also is there any indication of the range he can copy people at. Also it's been indicated that his full potential allows him to permanently remember the powers of anyone he's been in contact with. And of course Sage can bring out this potential. This basically means Synch can copy the powers of everyone permanently.
He can track mutants in the building with his aura- maximal range is a hundred of metres. Also there was stated that his aura is SPECIFICALLY tuned on mutants- against non-mutant participants he's as good as any teenager without superpowers.

Synch also can use his powers at significant distance- in that case for tracking mutants remotely. It can be used for detection quite easily (though it's no reason to ban him but just to see that person with whom he's going to "synch" not nesessary should be visible to him (Generation X#6)

Iirc, Synch could "synch" with non mutants.
He can't.

Realistically, if he went up against Spidey, he would gain all of Spidey's powers... and apparently use them more effectively.
More effectively then Spidey? I...really don't see how. Spider-Man is as effective with his powers as can be.
And the ability to gain knowledge of how to use something is not banned, as far as I can recall. And besides, if the character is skilled enough with his or her powers, Synch can't really do anything with them that the character can't do themselves. Take Banshee for example.

More over, if anyone with innate powers, not due to an external source, gave him time to copy their powers, he could be even better than them.I've seen forum arguments for why Synch could take Superman. 😬
And were they good arguments?
Again, power copying is not banned. We are not breaking the rules in any way. We are not going through loopholes, we even specified all of this with Illadelph beforehand and asked this before him.
Individually, Synch is about as usable as any other random teenager. As there is no ban on amalgamations and characters acting together, what he becomes with others does not matter.
On a nutshell, Synch can't be banned because of his potential of acting with others. This applies to every other character in the tournament.

K thanks.
Well for my first three I want to see what everyone thinks about
Iron= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Men
Atom Bob= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_Bob
Forge= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge_%28comics%29

Yes, But look at his descript. He turned evil cuz he wasn't that good at it. And he couldn't use it on people. He only used it on the envire. He was shown to be able to turn inorganic into organic, but not the other way around.

It's not against the rules tho. It only says that tranmuters can't use it on enemies. He can't even turn organics anyway. He is to firestorm what spiderman is to Thor.

Black Canary?
What about the origanal Spartan from Wildcats? (Thank you tier list for the idea, but leaving him off the list 🙁)

basically he's immune to physical damage from other sources, his durability and strength are above the limits, his attacks are invisible and he demonstrates at least Quiksilver speed if not higher.
1st off, if Jotaro is hurt, his stand is useless. It shares the same damage. And duping a full amalgam is much worse.
2nd, that was a vampire, not Jotaro.
3rd, you're comparing Star Platinum to that vampire. But Jotaro is only human, and Star Platinum requires him to breathe and concentrate to use the power.
4th, if that vamp grabbed Jotaro, he'd be dead in a few seconds. He doesn't have the hamon power to destroy vampires with.
5th, damage done by Za Warudo is not an issue. Those feats are part of a storyline I cannot use and are discounted for this tournament. Finally, it wasn't just timestop he acquired. Jotaro unleashed the full power of Star Platinum, which he could not do before that arc. Getting the time stop power did upgrade Star Platinum's abilities, whether Akuki wishes to acknowledge it or not. He was getting murdered by Dio before it woke up. He only started winning when he got the power to stop time.
6th, Akuki is attempting to ban Jotaro for his stand, but stands have weaknesses and Star Platinum's strength is in it's direct combat. But outside a straight fight, it's weak. It's range is only 1, maybe 1.5 meters.
7th, Star Platinum had trouble deflecting knives later in the story, so the bullet feat is inconsistent. and we never see Star Platinum deal with a modern machinegun, or even an automatic. Bullets go through stands. Jotaro, unlike Spidey, cannot dodge bullets.
8th, damage to Star Platinum impairs his abilties, and vice-versa. He take a few bullets to the chest or gets a bone broken, Star Platinum gets weakened and suffers the same injuries. Who's to say magic weapons won't hurt a stand? The subject of magic never came up in the series. And there is a magic bow&arrow that can affect stands.
9th, A stand requires a fighting spirit and strong willpower to control. If that willpower falters and the spirit weakens, the stand turns on the user and starts destroying their body. This is proven by Holly, Jotaro's mother. His quest was to save her from her stand, which was killing her. It put her into a coma.
Finally, it's not 9 votes. Delph said he was going to adjust the amount needed because of the additions.

His appearances are very very limited. As i said, he can't even affect wide areas, The most i've seen him change is a few feat in front of him. The strangers only lasted like 12 or so issues.
You know most of my possible choices are off the damn list.
Link for Spartan:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartan_%28comics%29
Allot of his powers they list looks like crap. I never saw him use allot of them.
Superstrength,
energy projection
flight (sometimes, took allot out of him if I rememeber)
I can't remember seeing others.
