ok, so a low herald BZ for the low herald title belt? oh yeah..... thanks in advance to the judges who will be following this, and to phil for taking up the challenge.
*****btw judges and onlookers, the rules we are following are the amended rules in the rules discussion thread pinned to the top of the vs forum board and opened by id. phil and i have agreed to the rules in play here so there should not be any question regarding what is and isn't legal--i hope.... if issues of legality DO arise, phil and i can hash them out in thread or via pm's so you can focus attention strictly upon who you feel won the match and not concern yourself with legality or illegality of tactics....
prep time: 30sec
battlefield: amazon rainforest
now, to business. so, for this match i've elected to use.......duh-duh-duh.......
KANG THE CONQUEROR!!1! i figure the guy needs a little respect, so i'm hoping i don't get him killed here.
pre-match preparation:
limited prep time can be an issue for some. kang however has the ability to use even a very short amount of time very effectively because not only does his armor provide him with powerful, integrated offensive and defensive weaponry, but also, because it is a part of his character to use and call forth a vast array of tech from different time periods, mainly from the distant future. kang has always made use of his future tech and has a special ability to reach through time almost instantly to obtain....whatever he would like. here is just one example of kang pulling out a random weapon in the middle of a battle with wolverine and the avengers:

here is another example, this time he doesn't grab his own tech, he gets stark's:

so, with that little fact established, kang sets about getting ready for battle. the first thing he does is summon to his righthand, the ULTRADIODE RAY. here he uses it to ONE-SHOT the avengers. please pay close attention to the effects the ray has on those it hits:

and here it is used to even greater effect against the FANTASTIC FOUR:

the ULTRA-DIODE RAY folks. oh, and just to eliminate any confusion--i realize that was rama-tut holding the ray gun, but rama-tut IS kang, just kang in his past. he's grown well beyond that young version of himself. to further settle any issues that anyone may have with using rama-tut in the scan, here is proof that kang has full knowledge of ALL the different versions of himself:
http://s204.photobucket.com/user/Enteithegreat/media/Kang%20the%20Conqueror/Kangbackstory9.jpg.html
so not only does kang possess the knowledge of his younger selves (like scarlett centurion, rama-tut and iron lad), but he also has the knowledge of all his ALTERNATE versions as well. yeah, he's complex, but he is cool as sh!t.
anywho, with the ultra-diode ray in his right hand, to his left he summons this little beauty, capable of burning a hole through the SURFER himself:

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb6/Enteithegreat/Kang%20the%20Conqueror/Kang-Fight/VsSilverSurfer2.jpg
with his weapons selected, (and the knowledge that he can swap out weapons at any time or simply fall back on his own armor's weapon systems) kang will enter the battle with his sensors set to detect any signs of life so as not to be surprised. here we see the armor can detect life signs, even if they are time shifted!
http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb6/Enteithegreat/Kang%20the%20Conqueror/Kang-Fight/VsAlternateKang.jpg
with guns in hand and sensors up, kang does a couple final things. first he calls up his flight pack, as seen here:
http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb6/Enteithegreat/Kang%20the%20Conqueror/Kang-Tech/Kang-Armor/Tech_repowershield.jpg
****NOTE: as added bonuses of the scan, please take careful note of 4 things:
(a) kang DOES have a flight pack that enabled him to interact and keep up with reed's time sled,
(b) notice how he also demonstrates the ability of his armor to ABSORB an energy attack via a NULL ENERGY SHIELD he called up in the middle of the blast (thor even knew IM couldn't do anything to harm kang!)
(c) the energy shield actually served to POWER UP kang's armor. recall as well the scan i showed of kang possessing all the knowledge of ALL the versions of himself. and lastly, and perhaps most importantly:
(d) the scan shows that kang clearly possesses the ability to TELEPORT. here is another more recent showing of his ability to simply pop in and out at will:

now that's a lotta bang for your scan buck. heh (continued below)
