KMC: Choose ONE Power

Dark Saint, that is a cool write up. I was pleasantly surprised that I wasn't priority number one for many people. I'll have to respond later. I do have a few questions though. Does Spot need to know the person he is draining? I'm not sold that you'll know where to find me, although you may have some more scans for that. And Golgo is only helping stop that first attack right?

I totally didn't see the Golgo thing coming, so kudos there. I thought he was out of the thread completely. That said, we don't get to form alliances until after the match starts right?

Continue to be left alone, I am going to take over the entire planet. Digi be damned forget weaponizing a city. I'll weaponize the planet itself like it was done on countdown on Apokolipse.

All I know is where Style is, within a 50 mile radius, and he has telepathy. I knew Golgo would stalemate you (he also picked 'telepathy', and it would be silly to assume he'd pick a level lower than you - both of you would have the same scans etc). But I always wanted to attack the telepaths/speedsters first, even before you wanted to attack me.

I don't need to know, it's not a mental attack or anything.

I can open them up at will.

IF I need to pinpoint you, Golgo could always make your location known through the speed of telepathy. Maybe in doing so, his attention wavers for a moment, leaving you able to kill him whilst distracted. Which enables Golgo to bow out the thread.

But he'd have told me where you were. And I'd drain you of your blood.

The cool name of my attack, btw, is the 'Sexy Dracula'.

Of course. But I don't see giving you extra time as benefiting you a ton. I'll happily take the reduction in competition.

Realistically, Delph should be my top priority. The 50-mile bubble strategy I outlined is still in affect, and Delph is the first person I'm going after. Even if he leaves San Francisco, his GPS will still be working. He can't hide from me, and I'm not allowing him to go nuts with building stuff.

You can't stop me. I can remotely set our Earth's pre-existing manufacturing infrastructure to fabricate the parts and assemble my robots. Car factories, Lockheed Martin, etc. Instead of making Teslas, tanks, and Drones they're making robot arms and legs. At best you'd be able to inhabit San Francisco, which is literally of no consequence to me. The entire Bay Area is my playground and there's 20 plus large cities here within 50 miles, and I can remotely have the manufacturing plants in Tokyo making my machines while you think you're squatting on me. There's also the fact that you don't go into this scenario with prior knowledge of my plan. You'd look at your scanner and there'd be a dot in California that says "MF DELPH - Technopath". Beyond that you'd have nothing.

I think it's probably gonna be atleast a month before a battle even occurs. So i think im gonna start extreme. Jump off a building and develop flight, fly into walls up my durability. Then take it to the big guns. Immediately. Even if i cant kill them i can stop em from amassing power.

Phase 2.
This was my strategy for Delph and Digi – and now, I guess, Id as well.
Note: this takes place concurrently with Phase 1, after I’ve killed Style and the speedsters, but before Carver et al.

‘Sexy Dracula’ works so well, because they are small portals within a person, and don’t need me there standing over them. Plus, they work incredibly quickly, as you have seen in my scans – freeing me up to work on the big boys.

With Delph/Id/Digi, I start raining my Sunbusters.
Sunbuster

This has always been my strategy. I am doing it pretty soon in the battle; I just now have Reflasssh telling me where to attack.

With luck, it takes out Delph and Id. Possibly Digi as well; those cities being destroyed will be a massive hindrance to him.

Leaving Reflasssh and me standing in the ruins together.

Cue ending of The Legend of Korra.

Sin: You're in space already, boo. And you have no teleport powers.

Between me soaking up the world's cities and Delph commandeering his own technopathic army, there's going to be quite an arms race for the type of resources that would be useful to you. I don't think your plan will go as flawlessly as you think. With my strategy alone, more than half the world's people live in cities. And they won't be your playthings when they're in my world.

I think you're missing the part where I'm going to be big enough to wipe all of this out. At best, you have some remote facilities doing stuff where I can't immediately get to it. At worst, I know the radius you're in, and I'm scooping up the entire radius, holding it above my Delaware-sized head, and crushing the life out of anything in it.

Not a bad idea, i was actually positioning myself to usurp his power. Halfway thru tje scenarios attempt to gain access to him find a neutral territory and slit his throat.

hmm

......oops, did my hand just slip and give Digi, Delph, Carver, Time, and Martian Mind your exact locations, a dimensional device able to get inside the Spot dimension, and a power dampener made especially for you two?

Already shown the ability to teleport, survive in the vacuum of space and flight. So no bfr he, gotta be a little more clever than that

Yes.

And I'm underground and control the planet's nuclear arsenal.

Meh. Im not hiding and power dampeners work both ways

Since when?

You get to pick ONE power. You chose, adaptive powers. NOT the ability to teleport.

Besides, Darwin got his teleport ability as a direct results of his fight with WWH. You don't get that fight's experience. I mean, with luck, if you are BFR'd, you MIGHT develop teleport powers - but as shown, when you were in space, you did NOT:

You don't have any specific character's experience: but you understand, instinctively, how to utilize your power. You don't have to figure it out or activate certain aspects (unless your power works as a completely reactionary thing, ala Darwin).

What I was trying to limit was something like Emma Frost's level of skill in by-passing a Psi-Dampener, not making everyone a complete noob from the beginning.

Edit:

That's the nature of his powers. That is my ONE power. I just have a ton of passive abilities. If im sent to space it's obvious id develop abilities to survive. Even if i don't get teleportation. Id still gain flight, ability to breathe. Im not getting bfred

Yes, I never doubted or said that you won't be able to survive in space.....hence my scan.

I was saying you'd never be teleporting back. Eventually you'd get back to Earth, at some point I guess.....depending how far away I sent you.

Them I'd send you back. Maybe even further. You'd be BFRd. Debatable if you even develop flight - Darwin's powers are that he reacts to negate the danger posed. You would develop the abilities go survive in space, but you won't develop transport abilities, because you're not in danger.

Darwin doesn't suddenly develop super speed because he wants to run to class quicker, does he? Its reactive, and random.

The main issue here is obviously your blood drain. Admittedly, that threw me for a loop. I wanted to avoid my cheaper tactics, but you're forcing me to dig into my telepathy bag here. My first response to that is a body swap. Several telepaths can do it, but I'll just post scans of good ol' Jean Grey for now. Her situation is similar to mine here: she's about to die, so she jumps ship. She does this during a high intensity situation, and I might be able to mentally grab you while the portals are open. If not, oh well, I'll regroup until I figure out how to deal with you.

----

The first one shows her death, the middle two confirm her dead body, and the last two show that she retains her original powers while in Emma's body

I've got instances of people like Emma, Charles, Nova etc doing similar things, but Jean gets no love on these boards.

It's reactive. I know you're plan is to teleport me to space. That's a danger. I can't survive there indefinitely. I develop counter measures. If i step off a skyscraper. I develop flight. Hax i know but that's his ability. Who's to say i won't negate your teleportation attempt. Its not like you'd overpower me. Everything u throw your precious sunbursts, your trips to the bottom of the ocean, you bfr to space will make me more powerful. His adaptations have lasting effects.

Gawd, that late 80's, early 90's X-Men artwork is like a nostalgia drug.

Indeed. I wish the same could be said for the dialogue.

I am sorry my "body swap" post wasn't that in depth, but I wanted to respond before I left tonight. I will probably be wasted so I won't be back until later tomorrow. This thread jumps 90 pages at a time, so I wanted to put something out there for Dark Saint before too much time passes.

He may still be in the fight if he finishes the blood drain before I can affect his mind, but I think I can safely manage a body swap.

Has anyone figured out how to deal with the speed blitz from Celehyuga? I've got something planned for myself, but I wonder what everyone else's strategy is?
