Just to clarify on my draft pick. I'm taking Cecilia PRE-Neo imprisonment in X-Men #106 aka the one who hasn't yet become the uncontrollable druggie (but the one who HAS tasted Rave🙂).
That's if the specific picks pre-something in character history are allowed (I'm not sure on that).

Rulk sucks and nobody cares.... though if I had time I'd research what's it that's so worthy about Banner's standart equip.

Well then what standard equipment? Because, tbh, we know Banner's a geek, but what high level weaponry does he have on him often enough to be considered standard? I dislike allowing some uber-weapon that has like half a year's worth of appearances into a tourney.
You're probably right about it being tech. But I'm still asking for clarification. "Just trust it" doesn't work for me.

I considered drafting Banner in place of Mr Terrific but I didn't know enough about Banner to really use him well.
I'm requesting that leo not start matches this tuesday, and will be sending him a PM. Besides working out redrafts, I likely won't know until Monday night whether I need to plan for my semis match or the FFA, which will have different teams and wildly different writeups. There's not enough time to do both.

You're not offering any constructive answers, or even attempting it, now you're just trolling me for a laugh. I'm done with this, and strongly suggest that you stop it as well.

stated multiple times.
as far as banner--i confess to NOT having followed hulk much recently. if banner has some new gadgets that qualify as standard gear, clearly he fits the power levels and would be fine, as would his standard tech.
smurph mentioned a couple things to me that seemed fine--as far as the number of appearances said tech his made, or if it should be 'standard', i'm less certain.
i'll let smurph make his case to me either here, or in a pm. if anyone has more knowledge about him (any hulk followers out there) then feel free to chime in.
one thing that IS clear--hulk will NOT be making any appearances, though that should go without saying . . .
if anyone has any concrete reason why banner SHOULDN'T be allowed, feel free to let me know. at the moment i have smurph saying he HAS standard gear, others saying they are less sure. need some proof gentlemen.
as far as post-poning this week's matches--if an FFA is needed, only the FFA will be contested this week, and it will start WEDNESDAY at 5EST. match will end SATURDAY at midnight.
if no FFA is needed, we will start BOTH playoff matches on WEDNESDAY at 5EST and matches will go until sunday at midnight.
Did anybody even click the link I posted with his name?
It leads to an image detailing current Banner and even talks about the equipment that he has. He has quite a few appearances with this tech, certainly more than, say, Jonas Harrow has with his suitcase-thing, and probably more than any of Noh-Varr or Moon Knight's once-or-twice appearance weaponry.
His tech is really good (obviously, since I'm drafting him), but nothing that breaches the limits. His shields are the most impressive of it all, but Leo ruled that external shielding, even on the level of Cannonball's (who has shrugged of Gladiator's punches) was OK, and there are other impressive shields at this level as well.
Obviously I'm not drafting the Hulk. Please.
Note that the bio I provided treats it as his standard gear, and that it's what he was using all throughout Fall of the Hulks, and it's what current Banner has iirc.
Again, more valid than some of the tech and equipment that's already been used, with which people have had no problems. No reason to create problems out of nothing now.
