If Ikaris is a Herald, Aquaman certainly is one as well.

did you read the new 52 series of his? he's a solid low herald, imo.
lol I was trolling. Arthur has definitely closed the gap between meta and Herald. He has proven himself especially in the new 52 to merit a title as a herald. I like Aquaman a lot btw.

Forge's ability to create anything will not only allow me this amalgam to create a device to cancel out TP assault, but the device could also reflect the attack back at the assailant. Forge is a bad ass, and the only reason why Marvel doesn't give him more spotlight is because Iron Man would become irrelevant. Shit with Forges powers I could give myself TP, well at least mystical TP, and augment the ability with tech devices.
Oh and BFR? Forge's power's could make certain that something like that would be very hard to achieve. All the same Sentry is a High Herald, but that did not stop him from being removed from battles.

So if a high Herald confronts you face to face...a catch off guard battle, would you win? Do you think you will have a chance of winning?

Are you kidding, with augmentation upgrades I could tripple the Colossus strength portion, enhance the healing, never allow myself to be hit with the speed, agility, and precognitive abilities, and erect personal mystic shields, as well as make Thanos like shields, and force cubes to stop any Herald level character. Yes I went there, I made a first generation Thanos clone... Only faster.

Well, answer my question. Is it amalgam? If so, I only used 3 of my 5 picks, and stated that my 4th would be a speedster, which would negate this challenge from all but the most blindsided attacks. I'd probably use my last pick to shore up my base stats. Maybe a flyer or someone with strength and durability plus some versatility.
But since you're pushing me here, let's do this proper:
1 - Reed
2 - Ultimate Reed
3 - Technomorph (Warlock? He'll do.)
4 - Exiles Mimic (which includes speedster reactions, healing factor, eye beams, and high meta base strength)
5 - Death's Head II or a flying brick like Guardian or Cpt. Britain
So now I have a speedster technomorph with the two best inventors in comics controlling him, an incredible healing factor and a blade arm that's stronger than secondary adamantium (assuming DHII). I don't need most of that. The Reeds would take my guy to Skyfather+ on their own. The rest is just insurance. Boring but effective.
And this is still just off the top of my head. I could probably come up with someone way better as my 5th, for example. So it's not a terrible challenge on paper, but it's ultimately too easy. There are a couple other good combos in this thread so far. But not only does my combo wipe its ass with heralds, it probably runs a train on every combo mentioned so far (though a couple would provide good fights). But there are hundreds of combos that would get you to high herald or better. Mine is undoubtedly not the best. It's just one of the more quick and painless routes.
Now, if it's NOT amalgam, that's a bit different. But Reeds + technomorph + telepath to link them up, and I have my last pick to ward them from a speedblitz. Still not too tricky.

Yes, its an amalgam. Now let me get back to reading the rest of your post.

I actually enjoy threads like these, but there's usually too many loopholes to easy domination. It's the reason we had to institute like 10 different types of rules in tourneys (duplication, tech creation, etc.). Anything over about low meta would turn into abstract prep battles otherwise. And even then...I remember a couple low meta tourneys where entrants grasped at Skyfather meshes (with varied success, if memory serves). It doesn't always work, but the point is the same.
Tech is the easiest. I cheated and went with the haxx Richards clan. Someone on the last page used Forge. Another used Pym. Same principle. It's not the only way past herald, but most tech geniuses have enough under their belt that, properly partnered, they can vault several tiers instantly.

Lol. You nubs gotta up your game. Why get a speedster when you can get a speedster plus 5 other things? Tourney drafting 101. I was never the most clever with crazy strats - that award would go to people like Blair or Id - but you knew that if someone was drafting a one-trick pony, and it wasn't an all-powerful, tourney-wrecking pony, that that participant was dead in the water. Seeing someone like Thing or QS being drafted was the best thing in the world.

I don't know what you're talking about Digi, my guy would dance all over your scrub.
I got this in the bag...EASY!!
1) Thing (Strength, Durability, Stamina)...
2) She-Hulk (further adds to Strength, Durability, Stamina)...
3) Abomination (further adds to Strength, Durability, Stamina)...
4) Rogue (further adds to Strength, Stamina, Durability; adds flight and the ability to drain enemy powers)...
5) Dracula (will amp this composite beings strength x20 and add to its durability [being should be far, far, stronger and more durable than Kurse at this point], adds permanent immunity to Psionic Attacks via being Undead, adds Weather Control, Invulnerability via Mist Form, the ability to defeat and enslave enemies with a single bite, the ability to summon creatures of darkness to attack/distract foes, improved agility/speed, and magic use)...
This being may actually threaten (as pertains pure combat ability) to penetrate deep into the Trans Tier...
