So... copying existing one or recreating it via magic is legal, as long as the real deal doesn't leave prep area.
Our team got plenty of expertise with armour recreation in rds 1-3, Sybil has technological skills of Stu Clarke and there's mindlink with Lex for additional guidance.
We simply recreate existing suit, without taking real deal from prep area. Legal? Yes. Pwns you? Yes. Simple duplication spell would be enough, since the sample of real one is in prep area.
No speed feats?

Blitzing Steel while going "intangible" on super speed to phase though the hammer.
Yeah. You're right. No speed feats. LOL.

You use that scan of standart psi-bafflers of Reed's desing. The same ones that get bypassed eventually.

The end result. And you do know that Emma is > Pre-Shaman Nate in terms of skills? And I've shown her bypassing various kinds of psi-defences with ridiculous ease.
As for Whitman stuff you're adressing there...

You DO KNOW that was retconned?

Exodus attacks the flagship of SHIELD. Maria Hill and her crew either don't have any psi-blockers or they're uneffective against telepath of that level.

The telepath Rogue refers to is Emma- Xavier was depowered back then.
Exodus himself admits that Emma is his equal in terms of skill (she's the last of five listed).

Emma shows that those aren't idle words by stalemating Exodus.

Emma's psi-interference (from Werchester to Antarctica without Cerebra)>Exodus psi-interference.
Emma temportary depowers Exodus long enough to have him PWNed by Nightcrawler.

On the other hand, Exodus' psi-interference is relatively insignificant to Emma (she manages to psi-freeze Harpoon regardless of that).
http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scan20aw1.jpg
Now, does Emma >Exodus in raw psi-power? Definetley no, but she's his equal in skill. She has successfuly ignored or bypassed various kinds of psi-defences. Your (retconned) psi-blockers from god forgotten 80ies won't make any difference there.
That's provided you GET them, as the most complex things Shift was shown to create were relatively simple mechanical devises (such as chainguns), not complex electronics. You don't have him amalgamate with someone with good engineering skill, neither you're mind-synching him with one.
So you most likely won't have said psi-blockers (providing they're not retconned).

Well, the ready-made suit is illegal, and I agree on that. However, creating one from scratch in the prep via magic is legal- so...we can just recreate one from scratch via magic (like it was done in rds 1-3), not take ready-made one (which is not standart equipment anyway, Iron Man's suit is integral part of his body now and it's his standart equipment).
But now to your points:
Nice try, darling
Well, first of all- not "fried".
"The exogene would recover in seconds".
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1219616_DC52Week40-020/
Then he gets KOed and while he lies unconscious, stuff happened preventing him from repairing the exogene.
The Everyman facility was destroyed in the same arc and lawsuit was brought against Lex, so he never had chance to recover powers granted to him. So...he can't restart it, but it had nothing to do with it turned off irreparably.
Now to organic matter manip you need proof of:
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1125005_05/
Human into mermaid. On genetic level.
As for typo- I keep confusing English and Russian spelling of Mach (russian version spells with X at the end). Sorry on that.
And to your prep:
You darlings do know the difference between an actual technopath and a hacker with superspeed? The speed of you downloading information depends on the operating speed of your workstation, not on how fast you can type or move mouse. The amalgam is pointless and the time of getting all that information is rougly equal to the one Cho would get at normal speed- all you speeded up is his ability to input information. Not the speed you get it on. It's not Speed Force-enhanced Black Box you're using there.
Also, since when can Shift copy unknown material simply by formula? He usulally needs physical or visual contact with sample to copy it:
http://img215.imageshack.us/my.php?image=outsidersv312hunterrosejq9.jpg
With adamantium you need to be extremely careful (I do think the same stuff is valid to vibranium). For one stable form it's ton of unstable poisonous isotopes sharing the same chemical formula:
http://img177.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xmen191018gg1.jpg
The chances of getting wrong one by being guided only by chemical formula is extremely high. A grade adamantium my ass
Also, vibranium=\=adamantium. It does absorb kinetic energy, but it's less durable.

To deal with your claims:
The retcon means simply "recreate something based on the mental model of it" or "replicate pre-existing stuff" as long as real deal doesn't leave prep area (it can be used as sample as long as it isn't used in the battle itself- just like you did with explosive Bat-tech in your first match stuff).
And I won't be using Magik (aka Amanda Sefton) to replicate\recreate things- the transmutation of inorganics isn't her forte (that's why she's drafted for 25 points- she's not good with inorganics).
Zachary, however, is good at transmutation and simply duplicating things he sees isn't beyond his power level.
Examples of his transmuting powers:
http://www.picamatic.com/view/993062_01/
Doves into fireworks
http://www.picamatic.com/view/988347_02/
The box of pizza from thin air (though he added less cheese than wanted but it was almost right after date with Raven who has destabilising effect on his concentration- thanks god there's no such distraction there).

Living animals from thin air
http://www.picamatic.com/view/992936_World_War_III_Part_Three_pg__07/
Animating stone statues (not actual matter manip, but still)
"Off\on" mechanism was designed by Lex personally. As Natasha states...it was what he added to the project.
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1175461_DC52Week40-019/
The thing is that Lex was beaten to the point of becoming comatose while trying to restart "on" button- and then he didn't have access to Everyman project anymore. What's more, the project itself was compromised in the eyes of society, and Lex under pressure decided to try something more...reliable.
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1222572_DC52Week40-022/
Lex was comatose and isn't about "restarting" anything. Upon recovering in hospital...well, a lot has changed that made recovering of said superpowers impossible. Most notably Superman restoring his powers and Lex having to go underground.
Also we DO practice recreating tech via mental models in previous rounds, knowing schematics.And having something like holographic images of that tech to look or actual samples to copy from (as long as we won't take them from prep area) surely helps with that.
So we can simply say "tius etacilper" while standing next to the real thing. We won't even touch it.
Zachary states he's roughly equal to his cousin when it comes to inamimate stuff. As long as we have real deal to look at, it's pretty fine.

With Oracle it would be "restarting of mentally supressed powers". Read the scan attentively:
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1215901_Birds_of_Prey_085_19/
"The virus somehow shut itself off". It was "willed" by Oracle (who partially took control over it) to stop killing her body.
Emma uses "mental surgery" to tweak with Polaris' body and halt the Famine transformation. Also shows her level of expertise in genetics:

Restarting self-supressed, presumably "gone" powers:

Oh, and while we're on that. Being technoorganic doesn't save you from being mindblasted. Phalanx copies of Storm and Iceman were psiblasted just fine:
