problem is it was SPECIFICALLY stated no flashes aside from jay. to change now would cause loads of hassles as there is no doubt people would have chosen from many of the available real and alternate flashes. 😬

bart kid flash isnt like the other flashes though, you cant lump him in with barry or wally...

how do you see him as different?

ok, ill put it this way... when drafting for the tourney, i went not by caps, but by asking myself whether the character could take a majority against diana... and yes, i think diana could take current firestorm...

wally probably could take her, as could barry, but kid flash bart? i really don't think so...

but he has the power-set to do so, just not the experience, MAYBE.

i'll disagree about ww beating fs though.

but thats the thing, the bart im drafting doesnt have the experience to do so... i don't know if others considered that a factor, but i do... 😬

Let's just put it this way...

With the speed restrictions in place, there's no reason why Bart is > Jay.

I thought the biggest problems with the Flash family wasn't the speed available, but some of the powers that come along with control over the Speed Force like speed stealing and lending?

Jay can steal and lend speed as well. There's no reason why Bart is > Garrick outside of the fact that he's faster. But with restrictions in place, it shouldn't be a problem.

Graviton- 👆 or 👇 ? I'm honestly not sure. I seem to recall he's uber.

Also, big 👇 to Lightray.

An adequate responce to B-Dub's picks, darling, that's it...his ones are pain in arse and one needs to be eqipped really well to deal with him. Also both stones Moonstone was already drafted...

Phyla-Vell? Unless we specifically spell out that only her on-panel Quantum Band use is to be considered while Wendell's Quasar feats are off-limits she should really be out under the No-GL rule.

agreed. she's actually no different from drafting a rookie gl which i was told specifically in a pm (and i think in the thread itself) was not allowable.

"teh List":

Loki: (power exceeds cap) martian, trick, akuki, goob, bran, bats
Firestorm: (power level exceeds cap) trick, akuki, martian, bran, bats
Sersi: (power exceeds cap) bran
Jefferies/Box: (exceeds killability cap) leo, trick, martian
Aquarian: (loophole-power nullification) trick, akuki, dl, martian, goob, bran, charlotte
Meggan: (power exceeds cap) trick
Nova: (power exceeds cap) goob
Ronan: (power exceeds cap) martian, trick
Metron: (power exceeds cap) Smurph, Bran, leo, bats, akuki, marty
Makkari: (above speed cap) bats
Spartan 3.0: (above power cap) leo, akuki, smurph
Death Metal: (above durability cap) leo, trick, akuki
Phyla-Vell: (breaks the no-GL rule) leo, lam
Light Ray: trick, leo, bats

7 votes needed to ban.

aquarian has been banned by the participants. awaiting 2 judges votes.

There's a big difference between the Q-Bands and a GL ring. The Q-Bands might be on par with a GL ring as far as energy manipulation goes but that's about it. GL rings are capable of doing ANYTHING, which is the reason they're not allowed if I'm not mistaken.

But just so you know, I already pretty much plan on limiting myself to the feats of Phyla because I doubt I could convince anyone that she or Rune would be anywhere near as effective as Wendel with them. Anything I show that features him will involve such a basic feature of the Q-Bands themselves that it can't be questioned. I really hate leaving things up in the air for the judges to decide, so you really don't have to worry about me trying to use more of Wendel feats than Phyla's.

the bands can do almost the exact same thing as a ring -- except they may be BETTER energy soaks. phylla is analagous to a rookie gl. in the hands of a gl rookie, the ring (using only a rookie's scan as support), would be extremely limited as well, exactly like phylla. but again, the whole inexperience issue was considered irrelevent when i asked about it. if a rookie with a ring can't get in, i can't see how a rookie with the bands should be allowed. 😬

There's no way the Bands can do everything a GL ring can do. Time/Space manipulation, both organic and inorganic transmutation(up to and including shape shifting and super power bestowal) are just some of the things that any GL ring can theoretically do that NO user of the Quantum bands can do 😬 .

while that's true, a rookie with a ring could do none of those things either. which is why i was comparing the abilities as rookies. 😬

and regardless of who is wearing them, they ARE essentially an infinite energy soak. even as a rookie quasar was easily stalemating guys like firelord and even handling people like modred the mystic and phoenix rachel SIMULTANEOUSLY!

no way the bands should be allowed in a tournament of this level goob.

Can't the same be said of Infinity Gems, the World Mind, and the Nega Bands though?
