this is all i could find on him
Possesses a genius intellect and is capable of mentally rearranging component machinery to form whatever device he imagines, including teleportation technology.[47] Dispassionate and logical, he acts as the voice of reason and conscience for the team, refusing to kill unless necessary. He repeatedly refuses to kill the Plutonian, insisting that he can be redeemed, going so far as to purposely save Plutonian's life

Powers
Enormous strength (approx. class 100); virtually unlimited endurance and durability. Despite his bulk, he is deceptively fast, being able to walk at about 100 miles per hour. He can absorb and store immense amounts of heat energy. He can project energy beams from his eyes, the power of which varies with his own energy level (but at full power they can easily vaporize several dozens of tons of rock in a single blast). He can, over time, significantly increase his size (and presumably strength and durability): When he first appeared, he was "only" 25 feet tall, but after his years-long lava bath underneath the Earth´s crust, he had grown to 60 feet; later, after Stark-Fujikawa´s engineers accessed his systems, they made him grow to "over a hundred feet" (depiction details are somewhat variable, with footprints implying a height of about 500 feet). Ultimo has also shown he can adapt his defenses; for instance, while he once was deactivated by a lightning bolt, this later proved ineffective. Finally, he seems capable of repairing himself even when deactivated and completely disassembled.
Powers and abilities[edit]As a gigantic artificial construction, Ultimo is incredibly strong and nearly indestructible. Despite his bulk, he is deceptively fast, being able to walk at about 100 miles per hour (160_km/h). He can absorb and store immense amounts of heat energy. He can fire beams of concussive force or beams capable of disintegrating matter from his eyes, the power of which varies with his own energy level (but at full power they can easily vaporize several dozen tons of rock in a single blast). He can, over time, significantly increase his size (and presumably strength and durability): when he first appeared, he was 25 feet (7.6_m) tall, but after his years-long lava bath underneath the Earth's crust, he had grown to 60 feet (18_m); later, after Stark-Fujikawa's engineers accessed his systems, they made him grow to "over a hundred feet" (he stretched along the entire length of the hull of a medium-sized research vessel).
Ultimo has also shown he can adapt his defenses; for instance, while he once was deactivated by a lightning bolt, this later proved ineffective.
Finally, he seems capable of repairing himself even when deactivated and completely disassembled.
Ultimo has no capacity for self-motivated activity, and is dependent on programming or the commands of its programmer. Ultimo has a standing order for the combat use of its superhuman powers, or, as it was rather graphically put: "If it moves, it dies. If it resists, it dies first."

Think I've mentioned this before but you get access to all of your mind-character's items, unless there's a reason why you wouldn't have it.Where? Mind character's home I guess.
i knew about the equipment--i wasn't sure if it was just what we carried on our person--ie, standard equipment. accessing a home base will allow for access to other equipment BESIDES standard equipment. that's why it can be so important.

i wondered the same thing. i also still wonder about qubit. the description of his powers make him sound like madison jefferies, and jefferies is well out of this range. if someone knowledgeable with him (looks it ID.....) could assure me he is definitely within the scope of this tourney i'll accept that. there aren't even any vs matches with him in them anywhere....

ultimo is a frickin beast, no doubt about it.
People need to step the FUG up on their researching of these heroes. I was kind of expecting people to do some real in-depth research for the draft, and people are asking me who these characters are? 😛

You're not allowed to create anything.
Don't overthink the 30 seconds.
It's so that you're allow to physically grab an alternate suit for a character or maybe the third-most used weapon, etc. It is NOT supposed to be just standard equipment 🙂
Pretty sure I stated all of this earlier.

But the construct limit applies to all of it? That's the main concern. If someone wants to saunter in with 4-5 meta-level baubles, I've no problem with it.
Because people won't just be taking a 3rd-most used weapon. They'll take anything from the character's history that's reasonably still intact during the era they draft their guy.
It's hard researching everyone with only a day or two to do so. I also don't know jack about Qubit, for example. /srug

well, i've TRIED finding info on this qubit guy, but that doesn't mean i want to download a full torrent of irredeemable just to try and decide of he is legal. when i have to battle that guy, i'll dig deeper, but all that research just to figire out if he is legal? if NO ONE knows, that in itself is a bit of a problem.
oh, okay. so basically access to any ready-made equipment then. and it's not over-thinking, but i can guarantee people will push the prep-time issue. in past tourneys, what happened in small amounts of prep OFTEN decided who won or lost a match before it even started.
Yeah, go back and look at some of Blair's old tourneys. Or, hell, a lot of competitors. They could acquire or build team-busting prep stuff in under a minute. One time he and DC built an army of super-amped Kryptonians in a few minutes, iirc. Herald level, granted, but the same idea applies. The speed cap helps, but I guarantee someone is grabbing or summoning at least half a dozen things in prep at some point.
Not being able to create also helps. It also, presumably, hurts Qubit, but again I'm not sure.I'd love for a harder lock on prep, but just know that you'll have to monitor it either way.
Quibit got beat up by a group of 3-4 humans.
At least he's a guy you can research. Beatboks' picks are just flat out impossible due to the current status of torrents+comics.

You can not extend the 30 seconds via super-speed, time manipulation, etc
You can not create anything during the prep.
You are allowed to prep shields, but this is mainly to GRAB YOUR EQUIPMENT.
Qubit has normal human stats, high level telepathic defense, high-level technopathy, and access to teleportation/dimension hacking technology.
Qubit's tech can let him bypass normal durability. The vespa were able to by pass Plutonian's durability using the same technology. Plutonain best durability feat is surviving a beating where each punch is star system extinguishing. *Characters with weird energy shields can probably block this tech.*
End of series Qubit can teleport to the end of the universe with tech that protects him from Entropy + open thousands of dimensional gateways to spread the PLutonain in his energy form all over. Modeus kind of helped indirectly with the latter though.

Way to come through, dude. 👆
This sounds...interesting. Context? Or are we getting entropy-immune, dimension hopping super techie? I'm also unclear how he bypasses durability. Is that something that would require a lot of prep, or some natural extension of his powers? Tech can be destroyed or dealt with, so this isn't an immediate problem, but from what little I know of the Plutonian, he's well beyond high meta.

lol agreed. let's go back to 2005, when scans weren't needed and everyone just made shit up.
