Bazza Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Has he ever been good? I didn't know that. Good (bad) pick. May we never do battle. La Rose. I seem to recall that Juggie and Prof X (siblings IIRC) have been aligned but I could be mis-remembering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCloud2k2 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 For my next pick, I choose Mimic 3 bonus points if the pick is selected within 24 hours 3 bonus points if the character has never died* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
薔薇語 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Wow. I was a hairs breath away from choosing Mimic. Good choice!La Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 For Round 4, a brick mentalist combo, a beauty to behold, and a woman capable of holding her own against Superman (Though she'd rather hold other things against him) Pick: Maxima 4 bonus points if the character has never starred in their own solo ONGOING title or MINISERIES (Not sure if the 5 pointer also applies)I believe she's currently a criminal in the nu 52 (2 points) Within 24 hours (3 points) Female (1 point) Never died? (3 points if so) theme song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Round 5 - Heavy Equipment Character's primary power is sourced from a focus, including (but not exclusive to) standard firearms and martial arts weapons. My pick: Star Sapphire aka Carol Ferris 2 bonus points if character did not create focus 3 bonus points if the focus is not unique 3 points 24 hours 1 Point She's a woman (Not sure if she ever died or not. Honestly I lose tracks of deaths sometimes) 4 bonus points if the character has never starred in their own solo ONGOING title or MINISERIES (Not sure if the 5 pointer also applies)Hit it Huey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnStrawberry Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 2 strong women in a row! Nice. As we start Round 5: Heavy Equipment, I just want to clarify: are we talking any external source of power - technological, magic or organic? What about someone with multiple 'focii' with powers? Just weighing my options. I admit to helping escalate the 'arms race' we have going, though I'm going to try to de-escalate it and follow my heart the next couple rounds. I think we should all commit to 'fun' characters in the last (free) round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should all commit to 'fun' characters in the last (free) round. Thanks. Maxima was one of three 'bad girls turned good and maybe bad again' I was considering as it just seemed a bit silly not to have a little estrogen on the team when the super universes are full of hot chicks classy broads strong women Emma was at the top of that list but got snipped. I won't mention the third in case I need her later. But Maxima also fills my need for another powerhouse who can hold her own against the likes of Juggernaut or Black Adam. As for Carol, while I'm not crazy about some the changes they did to her in New Guardians, I've loved her revamp since Johns salvaged the GL verse and long thought she should be allowed membership in the Justice League or something. Heck, I'd probably give her a shot at least a solo mini. I love Hal, but Carol holds her own in the same categories as pilot and hero, plus she's got business sense and... you know, curves.

CaptnStrawberry Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah, I admit the GL-verse just became too much work to follow for me. We have (had) what, seven - ten corps now? Each contributing dozens of characters and hundreds of extras? Say 'when', guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
薔薇語 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Green - Will, Yellow - Fear, Red - Rage, Blue - hope, Violet - Love, Purple - empathy, Black - death, White - life / all. So, I predict a few Corp members in this round now...La Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I love the rainbow power idea myself, and some great characters have come out of it (Big fan of Saint Walker) so I don't want them to undo it, but downplaying it now and then is best. (Damn if Guy wasn't a great Red though) But then if i go into chatter on the comics I worry it'll distract from the arena too much because I go on and on and on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbywolfe Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Juggernaut was on my short list for round 5. Research time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Star Sapphire! Why didn't I think of her? (Because I'm a yutz, that's why.) Probably because you had the reverse situation I was in with an almost all woman team (and then you brought in Juggy ) Though as others have pointed out, even with Sinestro and Carol taken, there are plenty of ring slingers on the table.

Hermit Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 For my next pick, I choose Mimic 3 bonus points if the pick is selected within 24 hours 3 bonus points if the character has never died* Oh, and speaking of scary picks, between Rogue and Mimic, it's just not safe to have powers half the time anymore , at least not when facing Bluecloud's squad. Sent him a PM btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Pariah Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I should be home in the next hour or two. My pick will not come any sooner than that. Sorry for the delay. We had the lovely pleasure of moving my brother yesterday. Boy! Was that fun! Especially since we moved him from the third floor of an apartment complex. Man! Those stairs were wicked! So tired! So sore today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
