[POWdER-man]

Man, any one one of those would be a good pick up....

 

[wiegeabo]

Adam Warlock!

Dibs! Dibs!

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Okay, I take that back.

 

[Nightwing]

i could do with more characters seen as i have a serious lack of em....

 

[Nightwing]

is this the new mutants warlock

and secondly as i am the reigning loser of all losers do i get first dibs on characters?

eg can i pick the best ones first and leave the rest for all others who dont require em....he he

who gets new characters and how many do they each get.cos theres no point in someone pickin up characters if they already got like 15 or summet

 

[Phaedrus45]

Well, everything is decided by JH...but, most likely, he'll go for those with the least number of characters and it will be random. After all, everyone had equal chance for those characters when the chance for picking characters started...so, our characters that we currently have and those we've lost can only be blamed on ourselves. Myself, I'm happy; so, I'm willing to give up a pick so others have a chance for one. I have a few characters who can possibly go the distance, and I'm happy with that.

 

[POWdER-man]

Well if we are stay consistent, it would be a random draw. One contestant -one character, one contestant-one character.

To be fair, each person should be in the draw however there are 3 more players than characters, so those 3 have to sit out. So it probably should be the 3 would have the most characters going into the third round, which is me, Nightwolf, and Blaze(possibly JH if he wins his last two matches).

As well, I just noticed that JH and Sparta have two characters in limbo that are not included in the standings. It would not affect who is in first place but it might effect the overall standings.

 

[POWdER-man]

I have some tough matches this upcoming round

EDIT My characters are in bold.
Charles Xavier vs Thanos
Cassandra Nova vs Silver Surfer
Magnus vs Loki
Nathaniel Richards vs Wizard
Wonderman vs Kitty Pride
Sandman vs Strong Guy
Joseph vs Iron Man
Kaine vs Iceman
Gauntlet vs Gateway
Mr Sinister vs Gideon
Desak vs Mastermold
Psycho Man vs Crystal

Definitely facing some heavy hitters....

 

[Phaedrus45]

Are all your characters the first one listed? I'm real interested in the Cassandra Nova vs. Silver Surfer match-up. That will be some debate. Oh, just so you know...if I was unbiased and didn't have a character on the line, I would have chosen Kid Omega to beat Black Bolt.

 

[POWdER-man]

I have edited my post. The majority were the first name.

Thanks for that man. It was hard losing him but at least it was to a worthy opponent. I think I will avoid telepaths next time. A lot of times I am spending most of my energy explaining how powerful they are. I don't know why I ended up with so many this time.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Boy, Iron Man couldn't have picked a worse person to go against. At least the other character is yours. Tony Stark will have to come to the match naked.

 

[Sparta*]

Joseph can't control Iron Man's suit

 

[POWdER-man]

Tony probably could use one of his synthetic Armours but it doesn't matter since they are both my characters.

 

[Sparta*]

I'm drooling over those characters

When are they going to be divvied out??

 

[Harlekin]

Adam Warlock!

Dibs! Dibs!

Same here. Although I'd really like Quasar.

 

[Sparta*]

no dibsing you a-holes lol jj

 

[POWdER-man]

The potential you can do with getting Morg, Firelord (grumble he beat Hercules ) Dr. Doom, and Mr Fantastic is there.....plus there are wild cards in Speedball, Quasar, and Balder.

Leaving out Adam Warlock of course......

 

[Phaedrus45]

Tony probably could use one of his synthetic Armours but it doesn't matter since they are both my characters.

Doesn't Tony have metal in his chest to help with his heart?

 

[POWdER-man]

"Tony had to wear his iron chestplate to maintain his heartbeat up until Iron Man #19 where he had an artificial heart transplanted into his body."

It's been awhile...

 

[wiegeabo]

Does the artificial heart have metal parts?

 

[Nightwing]

he did but thats gone now isnt it?

 

[POWdER-man]

Does the artificial heart have metal parts?

That I can't say, but I thought pacemakers are typically plastic to avoid the poisoning of the blood from the metal corroding and dissolving....

 

[Nightwing]

true but they still have metal components im sure of it.

 

[POWdER-man]

Oh well, I still have time to decide whether to allow Tony or Joseph to go through.
