Thanks guys. Keep in mind also that most of the really out-there stuff in the respect thread is [b]old. Lots of the characters we're throwing around here have some rather bizarre Silver Age silliness in their closets. We generally take that sort of thing with a grain of salt in forum battles, and approach our character interpretations with more modern sensibilities. [/B]
oh definitely...

I actually don't have a problem with any of these guys (well obviously not Loki 😉 ), provided we're all on the same page insofar as having the power to deliver a OHK doesn't mean that you're allowed to do so. Many of the "unkillable" simply require an oblique vector of attack.
I do object to Dr. Light, as his powerset is awful close to that of a Green Lantern, and thus should be off-limits.
Also Supergirl should be out of bounds, as "characters like Superman" are explicitly excluded.
Anybody have some better links for Dagon? I'm not sure what to make of him.

supergirl would get spanked by diana though (and hopefully we'd all get to watch)
I really don't see the problem with Light either. I know his powers remind one of a GL or Quasar, but despite the similarities he functions on a much lower level most of the time(at least that's what I was told). Comparing the two is very similar to comparing Ms. Marvel to Wonder Woman or She Hulk to the Hulk IMO.

Supergirl has specifically gone hand to hand with Wonder woman and lost. I don't see how she's above caps.
I'm pretty sure "characters like Superman" implies equals in power, with a similar powerset, with similar skill, control and showings.
Nobody's going to get away with drafting Gladiator, Majestic or Sentry.
At least, I hope nobody thinks they can draft Sentry.
For that purpose... Nightshade is a lot like a GL, but it would be asinine to try to ban her for a similar powerset.
If that's the case...
Apollo is like Superman.
Grey Hulk is like Doomsday.
Danger is like Hank Henshaw.
Etc.
Red informed me that I was allowed to switch my amalgams (in my own team).

Your allowed to swap them. You can swap among your three drafted characters. Report to the masses that you're allowed to do this up to three times up until the first match. Etc.

you can swap with the characters you draft.I'm having PR add it to the rules, etc.
So, what I would like to do, is amalgam Northstar with Juggernaut, and keep Martian Manhunter as my single.

you only get three chances to make those types of changes though, so as long as you're sure...
is that 3 times over the course of the whole tournament? and after that wherever they are is where they are permanently stuck? so i could use my singles guys and amlagamate them differently for one match, then switch them again next match then i could switch them once more? is that how everyone else is interpretting the rule? 😕

It was my plan until the beginning... and it would have been better with Wonder Woman... 🙁

no... 😛 you get 3 swaps before the tournament itself begins... you can't swap once the tourney is actually underway...
edit: slippy beat me to it...

Bastard... at least we're together first round though... meh. srug---
Also...
Wasn't PC Karate Kid beating up PC Kryptonians/Daxamites?
...Also, I can't see how classic Firestorm is under WW level. 😬
Trick will probably be next to whine about him...
tell you what, for the first match, we can do whatever you like with diana... flirt
😛
