Charlotte's Opening Post
Characters fielded
Queen of Diamonds (Emma\Miss Martian\Stuart Clarke)
Ritual (Nyssa Raatko\Magik II\Zachary Zatara)
Oracle (solo, but not defenceless at all)
Prep area: Shadowcrest (Zatara family mansion) from Zachary Zatara
Prep duration: 10 minutes
In the beginning of prep Emma Frost reaches out to the memory of Clarke and Nyssa Raatko, and “copies”\downloads all their knowledge into Oracle’s perfect memory.
Then the team spends 4 minutes amalgamating, and the last 5-6 minutes of prep would witness real magic.
Magik II (Amanda Sefton) is a practicioner of the Winding Way magic. The one thing that is interesting about its magic is “jumping” energy reserve- it jumps up and down.

http://www.picamatic.com/view/1124746_Excalibur_077_p12/
One of the ways to keep the reserve permanently high is to use outside sourses of magic, such as various artifacts or places like Limbo with high level of magical energy (Amanda's power DOES NOT come from Limbo, Limbo just increases her magical reserve- she lacks magical stamina of her mum (no wonder, since her mother is Sorceress Supreme of Marvel Earth), but was mentioned among greatest sorceresses of the planet even before becoming second Magik).

Amanda being named among the most powerful sorceresses of Marvel:

Shadowcrest has plenty of both- it’s both powerful magical place and huge collection of artifacts. Those artifacts belong to the Zatara family in general, so all the members of family can use them- Zatanna and Zachary being the only living magic-practicing members of Zatara clan as for now (Zachary’s parents either deceased or being “rubes” and Zatanna’s parents deceased, from what we know Zachary received proper lessons in magic arts from his cousin, his parents never being mentioned):

So, what Ritual does is reaching out to Oracle's "soul memory" about the moment when she got temporary transformed by Brainiac into a technoorganic creature similar to latest generation of technoorganic Brainiacs, akin to such “grandchild” of Brainiac, as Brainac 8 or another technoorganic Brainiac.
http://www.picamatic.com/view/987203_page10/
Then she morphs Oracle’s body based on those memories:
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1111061_page16/
http://www.picamatic.com/view/987695_page18/
Barbara shrugged off Brainiac’s attempt to posess her mind, but alteration processes in her body have already started and it required surgery on her to get rid of technoorganic components in her body.
Ritual’s magic “rewinds” the memory of Oracle’s soul back to the moment of “brainiacization” and then alters her body accordingly, transforming our redhead into technoorganic cyborg creature similar to Brainiac 6 and his “granddaughter”. The skills, memories etc would left intact since there’s no Brainiac mental programming present- Oracle would still have all the skills she had in human body.
Said feat isn’t beyond Ritual’s level of ability, especially when prep area has enormous supply of magical energy to tap into.
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1130888_soulmagic/
Here Amanda recreates brand new bodies for a group of X-Men, including Celestial tech-altered Archangel (proof that technoorganic alterations can be copied) with standart equipment, clothes and stuff.
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1125005_05/
Transforms herself and another person in mermaids instantly.
There’s a thing with Amanda’s magic, though, than at times it was very unstable when applied to non-organics\ inanimate things (tech, specifically). Zachary, having just the opposite limitation, compensates for that “disadvantage” of Ritual- both Zachary and Amanda are “covering” weaknesses of each other, making Ritual one terrific mystical force.
Last minutes of our prep is checking our stuff and everything else.
Ritual is equipped with Amanda’s trustful Soulsword and Eldricht armour capable of withstanding really powerful mystical attacks. She also grabs a few small amulets from Zatara family collection to have something to recharge her magic supply (the collection belongs to the Zatara family, meaning BOTH Zatanna and Zachary have equal rights to use it and it doesn't violate equipment rule).
Oracle spends remaining time adjusting to her new powers. After the transformation her power level is roughly = or <Brainiac 8 (she was meant to be a prototype for that generation of Brainiacs, as Brainiac started his mess with Oracle right after his “granddaughter"’s physical body was destroyed along with his own).
Just a few seconds before we leave we do several last minute preparations.
Queen of Diamonds psi-shields herself and Ritual (Brainiac-Oracle, being technoorganic, is immune to traditional TP). Emma’s psi-shielding was so potent that it allowed her while in severely weakened state escape BOTH Phoenix and Professor Xavier unnoticed (they believed her dead):
http://img164.imageshack.us/my.php?image=uncanny20xmen2019800320hn2.jpg
Ritual casts “fireproof” spell on Queen of Diamonds (it was originally designed against fire elementals, but here it shields Amanda & Nightcrawler from flame construct created by Pyro just fine):
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1125712_antifire/
Also just before the timer, Ritual casts "energy amp" spell on Oracle-Brainiac to put her energy reserves on peak level:
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1099600_Superman-_016/
The amp would last for a minute, but I don't plan on way too long battle. "Peak level" for technoorganic Brainiacs such as Brainiac 8 means, for example, being able to shield entire military base from thermonuclear attack:
http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=outsidersv41510yw1.jpg
http://img223.imageshack.us/my.php?image=outsidersv41511de6.jpg
A minute of operating on such levels is enough to speak frankly.
With that said and done, let’s ride.
Combat
We appear 0,5 km away from our opposition, surrounded by Oracle-Brainiac's forcefield (nuclear-proof at that level). We spend second or less locating our opponents (via Oraniac's sensors, Queen of Diamonds' TP and Ritual's magic sences).
Brainiac 8 (Oracle was changed to have a physiology of technoorganic Coluan like her, since she was to be the next host for Brainiac after B8 died) scans continental USA in seconds searching for single cyborg and teleports right next to him:
http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scan1de3.jpg
http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scan2ia7.jpg
Upon locating the most powerful source of magic on the battlefield (Spawn\whatever amalgam he is in) Ritual teleports into his location and hits him with Soulsword. Before doing that, however, she\he casts a spell on opposing team, making their technology backfire on them. That basically=kiss goodbye to most of Cable’s toys and War Machine armour.
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1124985_18/
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1117633_Terror_Titians-_004/
The spell would be sort of combination of those you see in the scans. Messing with laws of physics +making your tech attack its owners. Note that Amanda’s spell in the 1st scan was not that effective due to her relative weakness to non-organics (which she lost due to amalgamating with Zachary, who has just the opposite weakness so they balance each other).
One solid hit would be enough as Soulsword depowers magical beings on contact:
http://img396.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sworduz1.jpg
http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=79144488kl2.jpg
At 3rd age Spawn’s symbiote was bound to him by Nyx' spell AFAIR. When the hit with Soulsword leaves Spawn without that enchantment (it depowered Cap Britain in single hit). At worst we'll separate symbiote from Al Simmons, adding another problem to your tech beating you.
Ritual has more than enough skill to deliever the hit, having combined fencing skills of Nyssa Raatko and Amanda Sefton.

Amanda literally dances through Mephisto’s personal army. Good showing of combat skill and armour’s durability.
Teleports from USA to Bavaria in a second. Her range is at least=that of Spot

http://www.picamatic.com/view/1124740_Excalibur_076_p16/
Nyssa has 200+ years of experience in swordsmanship, and her numerous bathings in Lazarus Pit not only made her peak human but gave her immunity to necroplasmic fires:
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1087988_Page_00013/
With powerless Spawn and tech-less War Machine and Cable the rest of your team are victims of Queen of Diamonds’ TP attack, providing they'll survive their own tech backfiring on them due to our spells (tech messing spell and teleport would happen in quick succession, so the surprise is on our side).
With big guns of your team out of play our team also has physical superiority on its side.
id369/Kandy's Opening Post
Kandy/Id:
Spawn (3rd Age)
War Machine
Cable (current)
Spot
Gambit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amalgam - Spawn-War machine (War Spawn)
Amalgam - Spot/Gambit (GamSpot)
Cable
Prep area: Providence
Things to keep in mind.
During Cables Godly era (Cable v2 #100-107, Soldier X, C&D #1-10), Cable was able to harness his T.K. on an atomic level. In this era, he came across a bio-weapon known as the Façade Virus. Cable was able to study it, and even reprogram the viral strain.
In Cable and Deadpool #26, Cable once again acknowledges that he stores his memories, in his own personal Databanks (One of the less known perks for having T.O. I suppose).
Project - Biohazard
First and foremost Cable will get a hold of 4 items. “The Professor” (Advance A.I.) and activate it, “The Dominus Object”, Psimitar, and “The Cone of Silence“.
The professor will be activated in Providence computers, placing the infonet chamber online with the Domnius Object hooked up. Cable will link up to the Professor through the Dominus object. Ware Machine will plug in into the info chamber with the aid of one of its drones.
Ok so Cable and War Machine will accesses his Databanks, Data Archives from the base computers, and the info-net with the “Dominus Object” hooked up to it. What he is accessing is the data on the Façade virus, in efforts to recreate it. Once the Data is at hand, Cable will mind link with Spawn, and guide Spawn into recreating the Façade Virus through Spawns minor matter manipulating abilities [Spawn #9] . The Façade virus will be programmed to attack aggressively upon infection, save us of course.
The Façade virus will then be contained through Warware drones, so it can be used through the Info net. The reason for this is that we want to make the drones/infonet as the delivery device [C&D #3] . Façade will simply piggy back ride over the wireless transmission. The Drones will shoot the virus out as light waves.
Note!!
Please keep in mind that, the Drones can shoot out virtually any type of energy, and that the Façade virus has the vary unique ability to transmutate into raw energy including light waves [C&D #5] . That is why it was going to be used to infect people via TV/Monitor screen despite piggy back riding through tv/internet signals (it converts itself).
The end result.
Charlotte’s team by simply glancing at the drones they will become infected by the Virus. By simply having the virus shoot as light waves from the drone, they will also become infected (the light waves are absorbed through the skin). Two consequences will result in being infected (to those applicable).
1) It will provide a road for the virus to follow its powers and block it.
http://img165.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cd00322ch9.jpg
2) Programmed to attack aggressively, Charlotte’s team will start to melt.
http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cd00215by1.jpg
The Professor will be in charged of uploading the façade virus, and encrypting its data. Cable is now armed with Cone of Silence, and the Psimatar, and established a mind link with the its our team members, with mind shields of course. At the beginning of the match we will again construct a “spot cube” as we did in the previous match for protection from all physical attacks.
Charlotte's post #1
First of all, good luck to my opponents, hope it would be a desent match.
"Deliever virus into the brain piggybacking on their optical nerves"= fanciest example of comics physics doomsday weapons. Not to say that the attack is utterly uneffective as the doomsday weapon, but...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light
Visible light has several different wavelengts. Filter out beam of light through something... let's say semi-transparent forcefield or a diamond exoskeleton acting like prism- and your virus attack might as well not be there.
Also that version of virus doesn't attack immediately- in fact, infection process is pretty slow. Cable manages to carry out nice conversation with cult leader while the virus is infecting him.
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1146881_C&D_003_-_20/
That means what? Light transmitted strain is not as lethal as "physical" beta-version of Facade virus shown in your "melting" scan (order kidnapped Deadpool afterwards as they weren't interested in melting side-effect).
Different viruses. The one with melting effect doesn't effect optic nerves. The one that is transmitted via light has no melting effect and is slow. Slow enough for Ritual to say her spell rendering your tech a)worthless; b)making it attack your own team.
In the chaos that follows Ritual has plenty of time to heal herself by magic means:
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1126137_Nightcrawler_11_15/
And then carry out her "anti-Spawn" plan.
I'm talking about Ritual cause she'll be the only our character possibly affecting by the virus- Queen of Diamonds has alien (Martian) physiology and is immune to viruses designed for humans\human based metas (mutants etc), Oraniac is a techoorganic being. In fact, there's not even solid proof that Ritual would be affected by virus as her entire body is covered by light-reflecting armour.
That providing drones even get us through the forcefield which is not completely transparent, the energy field is pink, meaning that it FILTERS OUT certain wavelengths of light spectre.
Making drones appear inside the forcefield via spots? Spots teleportation is slower than our, darling. Object has to enter a spot physically- spots don't let light through and you can't fire it from safe distance from the spot. Seeing the spot opening, we can just teleport to the safe distance.
In short- ineffective version of attack. The "light" version of the virus was slow due to having to "piggyback" lightwaves and there's no proof that that version carries the same melting sideeffect. Reverse engineer it in TEN MINUTES in a way that wasn't shown in comics (it was specifically stated that light-carried one and beta-version one, that caused melting havoc in Germany, are different versions of virus).
----------------------------
In summary- two of the members of my team won't notice that attack, third one won't get it through the skin contact (shapeshifting magical armour which reflects light) it would be weakened by forcefield, and catching it through the optic nerve is pretty slow process (Cable has a big talk before ever starting to do anything, and you didn't program your virus to negate magic somehow- reprogramming one version of virus into another one in 10 minutes is already straining that.
Now, let's reinforce something stated in my writeup- most notably the point about "Oraniac".
Oracle was programmed to become a perfect technoorganic host of Brainiac, after Brainiac 6 got his physical body destroyed in Outsiders\Teen Titans crossover.
Later she had to undergone special surgery to remove technoorganics from her body. The "soul memory" of Oracle has that information. As I've shown in writeup, Amanda has enough skill to recreate a body of technoorgainc being (Apoc-altered Archangel) based on his "soul memory" or transfigure human being into mermaid seamlessly in fraction of second.
When it comes to accessing soul memory of someone or something, only Doc Strange is better than Amanda Sefton in MU. She might not be the best sorceress overall, but that's her speciality.
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1126126_nghtcrwl#06_15/
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1126127_nghtcrwl#06_16/
Getting specific kind of soul memory with that level of skill is totally plausible, IMO. And that makes "Oraniac" transformation believiable. Brainiac programming won't be there, but then again, Indigo was functioning just fine with Brainiac personality suppressed, being amnesiac\reprogrammed.
There should be also noted that as long as Brainiac's programming in Brainiacised Oracle was supperesed, Brainy got PWNed via the same powers he granted to Barbara. That means Oraniac would be perfectly functioning and at level of Brainiac 8 (at level of her best showings for the short period of time, that's why I'll be using the feats- to show the powerlevel, as Brainiac 8 was only one of Brainiac's "children" with fully shown spectre of feats- not to claim feats for "characer that wasn't drafted- Oracle was planned to become a substitute for Brainiac\Brainiac8 after their physical bodies were destroyed).
Scan-only post #1
To reinforce some points from both writeup and post above. Queen of Diamonds has turned her skin diamond during prep...you know, that refracts light:
http://img254.imageshack.us/my.php?image=page06xmen188qk1.jpg
Martian physiology prevents Miss Martian (one of the parts of Queen of Diamond amalgam) from being seriously affected by viruses or drugs that affect humans:
Emma stops the progression of neural affecting viruses by tapping with nervous system of someone. Ironically, your virus gets into body via optic nerves:
http://img294.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitledscanned16tt1xg2.jpg
http://img294.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitledscanned17as5po8.jpg
Optic nerves can be blocked for short time as easily as any other nerve in the body (note than 2 of my characters are immune to your virus, having alien or cyborg bodies, and the third can be temporary blinded to save his life):
http://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=uncannyxmen500zonemegankr2.jpg
Charlotte's post #2
To adress another claim of team Kandy\Id.
That particular scan. The "test ride" was prepared to react specifically to Cable's power signature, not to nullify anyone's powers. And cult had far longer than 10 minutes of prep to do that.
So I don't see how it helps you there, especially considering that the only person Cable has detailed data on is Emma Frost...but she's amalgamated with an alien (Miss Martian) who is immune to viruses designed for Earthbound metas (all we saw is that Facade virus affected humans and mutants, not aliens or anything like that).
And speaking of Emma...even if she weren't amalgamated with Miss Martian... well, being the best "mental surgeon" in Marvel (she's >> Cable in that particular aspect, not being more powerful that God-like Cable, of course, but being more skilled) she keeps complete control over her nervous system. Her "antivirus firewall" is always on...even against such oddball viruses.
Apocalypse Famine virus (delievered quite in the same way as yours one)? No problem.
And when we're talking about Queen of Diamonds (formerly known as Emeralda), I'd like to quote this:
Originally posted by illadelph12

But right now the spotlight goes to Emeralda and her awesomeness.
M’gann was physically the best in her roster of Teen Titans, yet nowhere near the best of the Martian race. Why's that (minus the young age and lack of experience)?Martian physical powers are heavily dependant on their prowess as telepaths- their physical and mental powers are connected, as seen there.
http://img158.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fernus3ws5.jpgTelepathy and physical prowess are closely connected to Martians. Strong mind means strong control over body, and thus, strong body. M’gann, on the other hand, purposely restrained her telepathy- by both her “rules” and lack of proper psi-training since her parents were killed. So while she can give a nice fight for short time, her psi-reserve isn't up there with the peak specimen of Martian race.
Her pure TP feats are not impressive- she lacked proper training and was barely using her TP for anything rather than mindreading\communication - thus didn’t "engage in regular mental exercises” unlike peak Martians like J’onn J’onnz.
But there’s quick remedy for M’gann’s mental reserve problem.
Emma Frost. Psionic powerhouse who just happens to have an unique quality among Marvel telepaths that matches Martian powerset perfectly- ability to use TP to affect her own body functions- like perfectly imitating coma or bootstraping her brain chemistry to deal with paralysing toxins (while simulataneously using her TP for several other tasks):
http://img260.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xmen201008ya3.jpgThat gives “Emeralda” one thing she lacks to live up to her hype- powerful reserve of psionic energy, thus her stats are getting serious boosting and get closer to Martian Manhunter & Hyperclan guys.
Now what she lack is experience- Martians get it via TP and we have perfectly catalogised memory of Barbara Gordon to reach out for the feats of Martian Manhunter she has seen during working as JLA coordinator- and she has seen plenty of them. So we get info on that.
In short, Queen of Diamonds is close to peak Martian level physically due to her mental reserve being vastly increased. What does that mean?
Being one of the best bricks in whole tourney (+having combat skills of Nyssa Raatko, Wolverine, Judomaster, DCUA Hawkgirl and experience of Jean Grey with psi-powers downloaded during the tourney- same Jean Grey who trained Cable as Red)= class 100+ strength.
Having tourney peak combat speed- peak Martians were able to keep up with Flashes in H2H:

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u131/jason-todd/Jimscomics012.jpg
In short- your drones get smashed as soon as they appear near us.
Iron Man did that... Queen of Diamonds with her peak Martian abilities does it in fraction of seconds (especially considering she's immune to Facade virus to begin with). A fraction of second to phase out of forcefield and smash drones into nothingness at tourney cap speed and then return to help Ritual (the only member of my team who would be affected by virus) halt it so it can be driven out of body via magic means.
Also it should be noted that Ritual doesn't necessary needs to see to teleport herself or teleport someone else, so Spawn can be "nullified" even in temporary blind state:

http://www.picamatic.com/view/1124677_Excalibur_083_p09/
Magic sences are enough to locate Spawn, and two of the Ritual amalgam components have that:
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1091862_magicsenses/
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1126172_crystar_06_05/
As I've explained in my writeup, one solid hit is enough to "dispel" Spawn, turning him into simple Al Simmons. More proof of that:
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1124673_Excalibur_085_p22/
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1124633_Excalibur_085_p23/
That is accompanied by "tech disturbing" spell and can be followed by the blast of magical energy that throw Selene, an External, a couple miles away for good measure.

http://www.picamatic.com/view/1124872_Excalibur_Annual_2-30/
http://www.picamatic.com/view/1124874_Excalibur_Annual_2-31/
Tech-less and Spawn-less, everyone in your team posess basic human durability.
Once Ritual is inside your Spot center (and that's where she teleports following Spawn's magic signature), spots are meaningless, your tech is either not working or attacking your own team (or both), and Spot with no spots on his body is as "durable" as that of regular human (I think less durable than an amped Selene):
http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zappedxi0.jpg
ALL the spots have to be moved from Spot's body to create Spot center. Thus he's defenceless and gets PWNed by Selene-smashing blast.
Correction post
Amanda being named among the most powerful sorceresses of Marvel:
http://www.picamatic.com/view/11254...hing_v2_011-14/
Just to clarify a point for those who are unfamiliar with Daytripper\Magik II... Daytripper's real name is Jimaine Szardos, but Amanda Sefton is her alias she used during her stay with X-Men and uses now as Queen of Limbo (as she has to hide her real name). In that scan she's listed under her real name.
Charlotte's post #3
Final bunch of nails into your plan's coffin
Cable was able to study it, and even reprogram the viral strain.
Note!!
Please keep in mind that, the Drones can shoot out virtually any type of energy, and that the Façade virus has the vary unique ability to transmutate into raw energy including light waves [C&D #5] . That is why it was going to be used to infect people via TV/Monitor screen despite piggy back riding through tv/internet signals (it converts itself).
Let's deal with the 1st one. The "modifications" Cable talks about have nothing to do with reprogramming the virus- he barely alters the delivering tech telekinetically. Hardly a reprogramming. It's like the famous showing of Silver Surfer shooting an energy blast shown to claim he reprogrammed some super computer.
In fact, the very "reprogramming" was to make Lightmaster, the order's failsafe, to hit wrong panel and telekinetic tweaking with delievering mashine (even then, all he tweaked is a pigmentation).
Observe.
http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cd00519yi0.jpg
http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cd00520js5.jpg
http://img392.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cd00521yk8.jpg
http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cd00522wc4.jpg
Also the very same set of scans deals with another myth. Light-emitting tech, like TV screens and monitors, were merely proxies. The virus itself was to be distributed by either Lightmaster (a mutant member of the order) or big ass distributing station (the size of it is shown in one of the scans above. I'm afraid the drones won't do it in nneded capacity, since they're not acting as proxies, and as I've proven above, the so-called "reprogramming" has nothing to do with having a strain of the virus.
Not that is important, considering that 2 of my team members are immune to your precious virus to begin with, and melting was a side-effect of physical delievery (the dude physically injecting himself with the virus, the optical delivery was invented to get rid of that side-effect. Also even with melting perk the infection is fairly slow- slow enough to block out necessasy synapses and cast the spell (the virus was pre-programmed to block out specifically Cable's powers, but not for everyone's powers, especially such as alien-based, magic-based or technoorganic based):
Also said melting happened probably 5 minutes after the injection of the virus, maybe more- not immediately (and he lived for probably 5 minutes after that), and the virus attack can be detected\blocked immediately (see scans in my scan-only post #1 and post #2).
Also note that the scan with blocking out Cable's TK is irrelevant there. That particular strain was specially prepared to work with Cable's power signature, and has nothing to do with ANOTHER person blocking out your optic nerves temporary to slow the virus down long enough for a magic spell.
In the second case, TK was in play. He telekinetically altered girl's body (before ripping her clothes and weaponry into molecules)- and was strained horribly after that:
http://img219.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cd00220ud6.jpg
http://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cd00221ci9.jpg
Apart from that, there's also one minor error with your plan:
the Psimatar, and established a mind link with the its our team members, with mind shields of course.
Psimitar is the blade of psionic energy, the manifestation of Cable's powers. You're using powerless version of Cable, I'm afraid...no such luxury.
Summary
Your team has shown:
Slowass attack that can be halted and healed from pretty easily and utterly uneffective against 2\3 of my team (and third one has magical healing abilities, that can be used once the progression of virus is halted)? I think you're back to drawing board, guys.
My team has:
ability to teleport that is just as effective as yours (and renders your spot centers (BTW show me when Spot created more than two BIG spots simultaneously- since he either creates many small spots or one or two big ones, and cube formation is bound to have plenty of gaps in it, as it's a cube made out of spheres);
magic spells to mess with your technology (proof shown);
Soulsword that turns Spawn back into Al Simmons in the one hit (proof shown) ;
one of the most versatile characters in entire tourney (Queen of Diamonds\Emeralda);
Scans-only post #2
Here I'll focus a bit on Amanda Sefton's combat awesomeness (skills, battle magic, armour durability, combat teleportation). Pwning demons is her bread and butter, guys (and Charlotte's team is incomplete without some kind of blonde demon slayer, LOL):

I am not able to stay online for to long, so no elaborate posts from me like last time or the scans to from my personal files.
Anyhow something caught my eye, right of the bat. Now I want the judge’s to keep in mind something. I can go on, and make claims and try to pass them off bias claims as absolute truth. However what cant be disputed is tournament rules which leads to my vary first claim I wish to point out.
And that is the Amalgam of 6 characters, yet claiming it takes up 4 minutes to do so. This is so vary wrong, and a grave miscalculation, since she left herself virtually no prep-time to do what she claims.
8. Amalgamation: The amalgamation process will take place during prep and will utilize a portion of your prep time as follows:2 character amalgam: 2 minutes of prep used for amalgamation process.
3 character amalgam: 4 minutes of prep used for amalgamation process.
4 character amalgam: 6 minutes of prep used for amalgamation process.
5 character amalgam: 8 minutes of prep used for amalgamation process.
6+ character amalgam: 10 minutes of prep used for amalgamation process.
How much time does that take off, your prep?
10, she is left with nothing more to prep. Everything else must be in the battlefield if applicable (remember, her time is up, and she is no longer in her prep area).
(God these computers are sooo slow, even for typing) – End of Rant
Now for the prep itself, I would love to see Emma reach out and copy/download an entire lifetime worth of knowledge from a single character. At the most, I have seen her grant partial training on the fly, to do gain a specific tool/ability, but never an entire history of knowledge. Scan Please.
As for the façade virus. What one must keep in mind is that, Cable TK at an atomic level. And it so happen’s that he effectively used his abilities to study it, and reprogram it to fit his needs. You see it doesn’t matter if the virus had different set of programming at the time of their encounter; it’s that we know it can act as we say it should, if it showed prior history to doing such claims. That why we are re-programming the façade strand to be used as an effective and lethal deasise.
And believe, me the moment they look into light wave emitting drones, they will become infected. Remember, even Lightmaster was infeacted by the virus despite being composed of light waves himself, sooo much more then just a pink aura that Char claims to be enough to counter the lightwaves.
Oh and honey, Spots isn’t the onlyone that can make use of teleportatation, remember Spawn can teleport at light speed. So teleporting within your force field is vary possible.
Well that’s all for me, peace out and good luck - Id
Clarification:
The amalgamation rule is for individual amalgamations, not the sum of all characters being amalgamated. If you wished to combine 6+ individual characters into 1 composite being it would take 10 minutes for that amalgamation process.
If you amalgamated three sets of 2 characters (A+B, C+D, E+F; 6 characters total) or two sets of 3 characters (A+B+C, D+E+F, 6 characters), it would only cost 2 or 4 minutes of prep (respectively) for each pair/set of characters to combine.

^- Just how many Amalgam character did Charlotte processed?
6, regardless if it was made in to two 2 characters, six characters was processed.How much time does that take off, your prep?

I still want proof for anything resembling infecting aliens and technoorganic being (human\Coluan hybrid). So far it only infected humans and human-based mutants (Deadpool and Lightmaster included).
So far what was shown:
1. It was not much of a "reprogramming", but altering the structure of virus delievering tech via TK. No atomic TK in case of Cable you've drafted, I'm afraid.
2. Lightmaster and Deadpool are human mutants. Not aliens or anything.

Downloading skills? Darling, you are really insulting me with that. The lady was doing that since her COLLEGE years- she's downloading all the TP knowledge from her self-proclaimed mentor, Astrid Bloom, in a second, for example. Those scans were shown already in many matches, buut if you like me reposting them...well:
Emma learns how to permanently copy skills or knowledge of other people:

Does that to Astrid Bloom (the girl who taught her that trick and many others but then deceived her and tried to attack) absorbing lifetime of TP knowledge in seconds:

So...hit&miss. In fact. that skill\knowledge assimilation is what brought her to her position in HF Club at the age of aproximately 23, making her one of the world's most powerful women.
The scary tale she shown to Prodigy in Academy X #15 was based not only off Prodigy's worst fears but off Emma' s own personal experience.
And while we're on that... judges, in case of me winning that match I'll be downloading the skills\experience of Cable (KOed by that time, but still). Only in case of me winning that, though.
Spawn has shown teleporting himself, and "at light speed"? Not much "light speed"'ier than Amanda- the same way of magical teleportation. By teleporting Spawn inside the forcefield you'll just get him hit with Soulsword faster🙂
Forcefields alter the trajectory of light beams- scan of Cable deflecting infected Lightmaster with TK shield was posted.

Man this was kinda short thread, fastest one to read through. Where was Kandy in this match? Too busy recording Youtube videos? Anyway, this one was a curb stomp. ID did what he could I guess, but honestly, it was completely one sided. Charlotte.

Charlotte Vs. King Kandy/id369Okay, the Bucs are up with a comfortable lead so I'll take some time to vote.
Char basically wins this by default. Not to say her plan wasn't well thought and detailed. But King Kandy and id369 have there opening post and only one other post after. It wasn't enough to win. Good job Char. I wish the other team would have shown up.
Char wins.

If scans are what you need to see I always had them, down to every last little claim. But being off line, and accessing a public PC or work station, some what keeps me from posting them wouldn't you think?
Congrats Debel, sucks for me since I had envisioned a different plan, and with some much needed feed back.
