Basic - what would you define by that? Their names, abilities, weaknesses, personal likes and dislikes, fav Backstreet Boys' song? Or, as Digi himself said:
A good measure of this would be what the general population of the character's homeworld knows.
Name and basic abilities, not their weakness unless it's pretty mainstream which none of the characters are.

No, but at least they are known as heroes. Z is known as a performer and John isn't known at all.
Same is said about both of them and Zee has been part of the JLA for years. The population knows her more then just a performer.

How does Marvel win, then? By killing team DC? Or by wiping them out? Is the universe at stake? Is Z at stake? If the consequences of losing are high enough, yeah, I think he'd do what he can to win.....But if yes, if by losing all he loses is a slap on the wrist, then yeah, he'd just sit there, and roll over for them.
Just by KO, they won't kill as that's not in character. No the universe is not at stake and there is no other consequence or the thread starter would have mentioned it. They just fight as per the rules of the board.
That's basically it, there is nothing to gain for either team it's just a fight and they don't get anything from it or is anything at risk. If there is to motivate people the thread starter has to state it.

Talisman doesn't gain anything, so he loses.
Right so she wouldn't go for the Gauntlet or go completly out of character which your trying so hard to do for Team DC.

Wait, wait, when has Constantine been apart of the JLA?
Current DC reboot. Prior to the reboot he was at several JLA functions including some funerals.
For two powerful magical users yes that would be basic. If you want to argue that, Talisman the Spirit-Binder calls forth the spirit of time and space and orders it to tell her everything about them 🙄

One side is not going to have more information on the other starting out, they all have basic knowledge of each other. If in the prep they want to research and learn more about their oponents sure that can work. Yet neither one of you propossed that. You assume John and Zatana would be experts on team Marvel and team Marvel would know nothing about them...lulz.
Notice how I stay in the realm of how their characters are shown, while you guys are trying to rewrite them?
Also, one last point before I head out:
Why would Constantine fight in the first place, since we are going by what they do in character?
He only gets into fights for three reasons:
1. Protect himself
2. Protect close friends and family
3. Protect the world from global destruction and the end of life as we know it.
He's not like other comic characters, who fly around solving occult mysteries - DC already has the primate for that, and he's called Detective Chimp. He only fights when the stakes are high enough. So to get him into a fight, and to give him prep, and to give him basic knowledge of his opponents, and then to say, actually, he's not going to put that much effort in - he's not going to just come in with some cheap conjuring sleight of hand tricks, is he?
Or maybe he does.......
As for the knowledge thing, KM, no, I didn't think they'd be experts, merely that they'd know they were up against powerful magic opponents. Hardly expertise. Whereas Team Marvel wouldn't know that John and Z were THAT big players. I'm not saying Constantine and Z know EVERYTHING about Team Marvel, you misunderstand me.
