Still, its close enough that banning him along with all the other power absorber/copiers will make it easier on everyone and avoid any complaints in the future, imo. Sorry, but that's just one powerset that causes way too many problems.

I understand what you're saying, but I think there is a clear gap between say the Silver Surfer and Thanos (or Superman and Superboy Prime) that not even a significant boost can close.Keep in mind that teams will be limited by time, resources, lack of experience with new powers, and each character's personal weaknesses when trying to mesh their powers before each fight. Plus the other team will be actively trying to diminish to altogether counter any boost or strategy you manage to come up with. So I think it will all even out.
BTW you said before that "in character" is off in terms of killing, but what about things like team work? I mean if I were to draft Loki and Thor, would they stay true to form of past encounters, or will they trust each other wholeheartedly with their deepest secrets and be willing to sacrifice themselves for the other without a second thought?

We're giving the debaters full control over their characters' personalities. If you want Superman going for the kill - he'll do it. If you want Thor and Loki to work together seamlessly - they will. So you won't be handicapped by the personalities (good or bad) of whoever you pick. 😈

Not sure if this has been asked, but I am correct in assuming all characters drafted to be mainstream continuity versions of themselves? ie. New Earth, Post-Crisis DC characters and 616 Marvel characters?

Yes, although you are not limited to just Marvel and DC comic characters so long as
-you provide an up-to-date bio
-they don't exceed the herald limit and/or don't have any banned abilities.
-and they are the mainstream continuity versions of the characters

I have two questions.Can we draft manga characters? and is it possible to reserve a few characters? You know kind like draft 3, and keep 2 more on the side.
This way one or two characters can be switched in, and out for strategic purpose.
1. Sorry, but were limiting it to comic book characters just to keep things a little simpler (esp. for the judges) and hopefully make sure all competitors are somewhat familiar with the characters they'll be drafting and facing.
2. I'm afraid that might make it a little too difficult for opponents to actually plan a strategy for the other team. Plus the limit of three characters makes who you select and how you use them all the more vital.
And just so everyone is clear:
There will be 3 rounds of drafting where the teams will select one character per round. In each battle all 3 selected characters will fight as a group against the other teams' 3 fighters.
The first round of the draft will be Thursday, Dec. 17 at 8pm EST, and will remain open a few days until the beginning of the second round of drafting. And so on. People will be allowed to switch-out characters (if they so choose) until the start of the tournament.
Once all three rounds of drafting are done, we'll put together a schedule and let all the teams know who and when they'll be fighting. 🙂

Is the prep area some abstract lab or something or are teams allowed to use their "home turfs" for prep areas?
Each team will have access to a "team lounge" measuring 15x15 meters with a couple of couches, satellite tv, refrigerator, washroom, and an assortment of snacks and drinks prior to each fight where they can use their prep time.
Characters don't get to bring any equipment from home other than what they typically carry. For example, a Green Lantern obviously gets to bring his or her power ring, but Reed Richards can't bring along the ultimate nullifer or anything else he has stowed away in his lab.
