Dream Team League Transactions

[Aristotle]

Drop Enchantress (DM)
Pick Up Sebastian Faust (DM)

[LadyVader]

I hope we get a headsup when the last day for voting is.

[wiegeabo]

Tomorrow.

[Ahura Mazda]

tentative line up for week 5:

Xavier Juggernaut (MU)
Tony Stark: Sorcerer Supreme (MU)
Brainiac 417 w/MonElves (DM)
"Death"Wolverine (MR)
Midnighter (DR)


By the way why is Chunk listed as a middle as he is a regular.

[Who?]

Drop: Locus MR

Pick-up: Captain Mar-Vell MR

[X]

He might be a middleweight. Not sure.

[Harlekin]

He's certainly not a regular.

[X]

He could be, honestly.

Class 40 strength, energy blasts, cosmic awareness.

We've seen Ronan, the Super Skrull, and the Thing beat him one on one.

[Harlekin]

Yeah, but we've also seen him stalemate those guys. There's a reason Eon chose him to stand against Thanos and his ilk.

[X]

He's got a losing record against all of them as far as I know. All three are middleweights.

Standing against Thanos doesn't quite accurately sum up the power gap between the two.

Thanos has one shotted Captain Mar-Vell.

[Harlekin]

And just 'losing' doesn't accurately reflect his power level either, as far as I can tell. Although my exposure to Captain Mar-Vell is limited, I've been looking around, and it's not like those middleweights take him out easily. Mar-Vell even stands up to Namor, one of the top mediums.

I could very well be wrong in this, but let's look at it this way: Spider-Man is a top-notch regular. Mar-Vell is twice as strong, can fly, and also has some nifty energy manipulation abilities.

[X]

Losing because of a power deficit is indicative of where you stand power-wise. Mar-Vell really isn't as powerful as Ronan or the Super Skrull, hence that being a good sign of where he'd rank.

Mar-Vell can't manipulate energy. He can shoot blasts because of the Nega-Bands.

Genis is the energy manipulator.

[wiegeabo]

But Ronan and Super Skrull are on the Mid-Uber border. So couldn't Mar-Vell be a lower middleweight and still lose to them? (I'm in the same boat as Harl. And I probably have less exposure to Mar-Vell than he does.)

Genis is the energy manipulator.

Doesn't he have the ability to manipulate solar energy?

I know he can't pull off Genis-level stuff, but I've even come across a mention of transmutation skills.

And like Wieg says, Super Skrull is basically the top of the line med.

[Who?]

I really don't see why he would be considered above the likes of Zauriel, Coldcast, Batman (1 million), The Ray, Animal Man, Proctor, and Vixen. All have been labeled as Regs.

[Harlekin]

You wouldn't say he's more powerful than them?

My instincts say med, but a case can be made for him being a reg.

Considering we've got the Thing as a med though... I mean, sure, the Thing's beaten Mar-Vell, but when one looks at their powers, I'd find the case of Mar-Vell beating the Thing a lot more convincing.

[Asteroid-Man]

X, how do I make a team now?

He can "manipulate" energy into blasts. That's it.

He can't transmutate things either.

If the Super Skrull is a top of the line middleweight, and Mar-Vell's less powerful than him, that would make him a clear cut middleweight, yes?

Ah, Hi Asteroid Man.

You'd request ownership of an ownerless team or ask if you could create a new one from scratch.

[Asteroid-Man]

Can I create a team from scratch? Also how many people can I have?

[X]

Ah, we've got 12 character rosters.

Even if you picked up an ownerless team you could instantly drop and pick-up whatever characters you wanted, tweaking it as much as you wanted.

So that'd be the same thing as creating a team from scratch.

Hey, I say he's a med too.

And he can obviously do more than just fire blasts: 1 and 2, although I'm not to sure on the second one as being very valid as being more than a very specialized energy blast.

[wiegeabo]

Hmmm. This is a sticky situation. With Mistress Gluon, we have all 14 teams.

[LadyVader]

He could co-own with me if he's interested. I wouldn't mind sharing the workload for once.
