Lady Pariah

I’m jumping in! Haven’t logged in or played for a while. Our Little Pariah’s have been keeping me far too boring, I mean busy. My list is in. Bazza, you not playing this round? And here I went and put in Spartacus just for you! (Did she really? I’ll never tell…) LOL

How about... Flashdances With Wolves Serenity Overboard Princess Bride of Frankenstein Daredevil Wears Prada

I definitely did learn from our finale last year. I was much more careful in my spending this season. While it didn't always go my way, it worked in the long run. I knew I didn't want to get to the finals and lose because I had no points to spend, like I did in our final match last season. To be so close to winning and lose like that sucked! Thanks for that! Kind of. Lol

3) Team Logo

Out of order... 4) Three types of arrows: Aqua-Lung Arrow Mummy Arrow Tuning Fork Arrow

1) False. I'm liking this look instead... 2) Here's how I'd probably do it today... or maybe this... I honestly was never good at solving it. Maybe if I had this I would have... The rest to come in a bit...

Sorry you vomited! Not fun! I have much experience with that. Did it at least once a day every day while prego with both our monkeys. Not my fave! Happy healing!

No worries! Last time there was a delay you were in the hospital. Was just hoping it wasn't a repeat performance for you. Feel better! Let us know if you need to take a few days off to get back on your feet!

Anybody hear from the Comish today? Hope he is okay!

Sometimes.

I'm honestly surprised that this match isn't closer. Not complaining. Definitely appreciate the votes. Just surprised.

I do?! Thanks Comish! LOL

Thanks. I did live in Kentucky for 5 years. So that may give me a bit of an edge in that respect. Or it could be that I worked for a sports memorabilia production company. So I had to know my teams. Or both. We shall see how I do with the rest of the games.

Introducing our team Captain... Green Lantern (Hal). Here he is pumping up the team... In his speech to the team, he modified the lyrics slightly from the chorus of Awake and Alive by Skillet, which along with the Green Lantern Oath, plays in the video. "We're awake we're alive And we know what we believe inside Now it's our time We'll fight to preserve life here, right now We'll stand our ground and never back down We know what we believe inside We'll fight for all that good and right"

My threat assessment is for Armies of Heaven: *Having Sif as a team captain...she is a strong leader. Much experience and an Asgardian God. Definitely many strengths. *Mister Miracle and Big Barda. What do you say about such a bad a** team? I don't think they were beat last season as a duo. Great team. And Barda was MVP from Season 1. Definite threats. *Cosmic Boy is a Legion character with control over one of the fundamental forces of nature. *Longshot was an X-Men with control over luck, which in this arena may serve him well. *Colleen Wing is a samurai weapons master with stealth and speed healing. All things which can serve her well in the arena. *Bronze Tiger-wild and untamed, he is an expert tracker and a weapons master. Stealth and stamina are strengths often overlooked but great advantages, especially in certain arenas. *Crush-although not as well known she has much experience, has had a career as a superhero. She has Density Control to make herself heavier and stronger. She is smart, strong, and has enhanced durability. All great assets in the games. Definitely a high threat with many assets to work with in this team.

My favorite trick arrow is the explosive arrow. (Close second is the boxing glove) Here is one of my favorite times it has been used: Classic.

Maybe that was the problem! I'll have to rectify that next time I draft her.

I had Saturn Girl last season. She didn't do well for me.

And here we go...last pick was a toughie. I was going to go for a third match up pair and pick Blue Beetle. A different version was drafted than I planned on using. Even still, I don't want two (or three if you count Jade) with basically the same powers as my characters. I thought about Black Knight. I really like him. But then I came across a different pick. Although most likely relatively unknown to most, the more I read, the more I decided he was the bad-a all around awesome superhero that would complete my team. He is a mix of Aquaman, Batman, Hercules, Spiderman, and several other heroes meets Houdini and MacGyver. I give you... Super Commando Dhruva Here is a list of his powers from wikipedia: Powers, abilities and resources (above picture Dhruva displaying his abilities in Jupiter Circus show) Dhruva has no inherent superhuman powers. His only supernatural power seems to be the ability to communicate with most animals and birds which he learned in his childhood, while growing up in Jupiter circus, playing with circus's pet animals. He can communicate with various animals ranging from a dog to a lion and most birds. The only animal that he can not communicate with is a gorilla, as shown in "Bahri Maut". Dhruva can also communicate with dolphins, an art taught to him by Anna, who used to conduct dolphin shows in Jupiter circus. These animals often help Dhruva in various tasks ranging from transportation, reporting him of an occurrence of a crime in front of their eyes to even assisting him in his fights. Another supernatural power acquired by Dhruva is the ability to breathe and talk inside water. Dhruva received this power as a gift from his good friend Dhananjay, a resident of Swarna Nagri, an underwater city located on the seabed not very far from Indian sea shores, which is home to Swarna Manavas, the descendants/bloodline of Gods. Their technology is far more advanced as compared to humans which allowed Dhananjay to fit a chip inside Dhruva's neck by a short surgical procedure, there by providing Dhruva the ability to speak and breathe inside water. Although Dhruva does not possess any inherent superpowers, he makes up for it with his detective skills, scientific knowledge and acrobatics and martial art skills. Dhruva is known to possess a high level intellect. His deductive reasoning and lateral thinking combined with his presence of mind and scientific knowledge regarding laws of physics allow him to make innovative use of harmless objects lying around to defeat his enemies. Spanish columnist Wright noted that Dhruva "has a MacGyver-like ability to use a paper clip or soup spoon to defeat enemies".[10] Dhruva has been shown as the most intelligent and knowledgeable amongst all superheroes of Raj comics universe. He is a master strategist and tactician. In crossovers, the other superheroes make use of their superpowers according to Dhruva's plans to defeat powerful enemies. He is also a master escapologist. In 'Commando Force', Black Cat compares him to Houdini, while Nagraj once trapped in an enemy's trap wonders, "What would have Dhruva done, had he been in my place?" to get inspirational idea. Dhruva is physically very strong. He received strength training from Hercules, circus's strongman. He is also adept at trapeze, balancing and other acrobatic arts that he learned from his own parents. His body has great flexibility and great reflexes, so much so that he can even dodge bullets. He is expert in most forms of martial arts and hand to hand combat techniques. He is also expert in free running and has been shown to jump, climb and swing through various obstacles and skyscrapers to chase down his enemies. He is an excellent marksman, thanks to the training he received from circus's knife throwing expert Ranjan and shooting expert Sulaiman. Though Dhruva despises firearms in principle, he makes good use of his marksmanship while using his star blades (Dhruva's personalised shurikens) to disarm or injure his enemy. Dhruva can even hit a target or fight an enemy blind-folded by judging the faint noises of their movements. Dhruva is an expert biker and stunter. He learned stunt motorcycling from motorcyclist Pawan, who used to display his wall of death stunts in Jupiter Circus. Dhruva is so adept at controlling and balancing his bike that it is famously said that Dhruva's bike is nothing but a part of his body. Dhruva has been shown to have received special permission from Road Traffic department so that the traffic restrictions including traffic signals, one way, overtaking prohibition, speed limits and other such restrictions that can hamper his duties don't apply to him. Dhruva is also a licensed pilot and flies his own aircraft/jets throughout the world. Dhruva's greatest strength is his unparalled willpower that keeps him going in toughest of circumstances. He has been shown to possess the greatest willpower known to mankind.[10] His indomitable will makes him rather immune from mind control, hypnosis and other mind tricks employed by his enemies possessing psychic powers. Such attacks rarely work on him, and when they do, Dhruva quickly manages to come out of their effect. Dhruva has also developed the ability to hold his breath for 20mins. which helps him against poisonous gas attacks. Dhruva is also the founder and captain of a government approved crime fighting organisation "Commando Force", which has earned Dhruva the titles such as Captain Dhruva and Super Commando. Dhruva is also a master of disguise and has made full use of his talent in titles such as 'Lahu Ke Pyase' and 'Nagadheesh'. Dhruva has always had full support of the police department and full access to all police records and classified documents, not only because his foster father Rajan Mehra is the Inspector General of Police but also because Dhruva has always had utmost respect for the law enforcing bodies and has never taken law in his hands. Later, being a member of Brahmand Rakshak, Dhruva, along with all the other members of the team, was honorarily awarded the powers and rights equivalent to a Commissioner of Police.

Did he do badly last season? I remember voting for him. He's a great character.

Okay. After having not one but two different characters vetoed (for respected reason, just not ones I had thought of) I have a pick. I give you.... Booster Gold pm'd bigbywolfe

Sorry I haven't picked yet. I'm awaiting a decision from the Comish. Thanks for your patience!

I struggled with this pick. I wanted someone else but I wanted to make sure this pick didn't get snipped in the next round. We draft.... Oliver Queen, AKA Green Arrow P.S. I'm kicking myself that I didn't draft him in the musical draft! Queen! Duh! As you can see from the picture below, Hal is very excited about this pick.

Sorry. Due to unforeseen circumstances (our washer breaking causing an unexpected run to the laundromat) along with crazy monkeys and major pain from the car accident, I'm just now able to get to this. Next pick: Comrade-in-arms of Thor....Beta Ray Bill pm'd Bigbywolfe

My next pick is: Magik I pm'd Pariah. He's asleep so his pick won't be until tomorrow.
