Regarding GLs I'm fine with a concensus of:
- Any specific GL can do feats he's been shown to do in the comics
- These feats don't necessarily transfer -- e.g., Kyle can't do something just because Hal's done it.
- GLs we haven't seen much of are assumed to have only the more basic GL abilities until proven otherwise.
- Superman+basic GL = legitimate uber. Superman+Hal Jordan = too uber.

That seems fair.

Maybe Nightwing and others would benefit from some more ideas for how to fight mages without using your own mages.

A couple of specific weaknesses of mages that spring to my mind:
- Most haven't been shown to have Superman or Flash level reaction time, so you can potentially get in an attack before they can respond
- While their shields could stop most head-on attacks, I'm not sure they'd be able to stop:
-- Someone teleporting past the shield -- e.g., port a miniature bomb right into Strange's head -- or port his head clean off his shoulders
-- Attacks that don't have to fly towards someone. E.g., when Iceman wants to freeze water, he doesn't shoot it with a freeze ray, he just wills it to freeze. So there's nothing to block. What's to stop a ruthless version of Iceman from freezing the blood in a mage's brain?

That said, the biggest flaw in those plans is you have to know where the mage is. If Dr. Strange or whoever is really being smart, he'd hide himself with invisibility or illusions until he's ready to take you out. But there are probably ways around that, too.

Well. I always wondered what it would be like to have an arch nemesis. I mean, one who wasn't completely incompetent, like X.

The Hype is experiencing one of its laggy phases. Weird things tend to happen when the server gets too busy.

It's a Halloween virus!

Low level reality manipulation.

Wait, so are we assuming that GL Superman is on par with Hal Jordan as a ring wielder? Because that's a massive assumption.

I'd be surprised if Superman was as good as Kilwog or Gardner. He's got massive willpower on par with any GL, yes, but not the creativity or formability's of Kyle or other elite Green Lanterns.

 

[X]

I'm going to stick with my current line-up.

You, Wieg?

Let me know so I can start writing.

 

[wiegeabo]

Yeah, I think so.

 

[X]

Cool.

I'm going to start writing later tonight then, probably.

Ah suggest you do the same.

No, we're not assuming that. What we're saying is:
(1) if he's on par with Hal Jordan, he should be tuber
whereas
(2) if he's on par with a less skilled GL, he'd be uber.

I haven't read anything with Superman-GL or the Daxamite-GL -- so I don't know where they rank. From what you're saying about Supes, and the fact that the Daxamite is fairly green (pun intended), I think they'd probably both be legit ubers.

 

[X]

Sodam Yat, the Daxamite GL, JUST got his ring.

He's a complete rookie. Good with it, but a rookie.

 

[XFanTim]

He's definitely legit, then.

 

[X]

I think I'm going to breakdown and go into tears rather than debate anymore.

 

[XFanTim]

Huh? Aren't I agreeing with you?

 

[XFanTim]

Need some more info on Kaboom's team before I post my lineup. He's got:

Majestic
Nate Grey
Blade
Nocturne
Elijah Snow

All I know about Elijah Snow is that he can produce extreme cold (so says wikipedia). Are we talking Iceman like ice constructs, or just freezing people. Also, does he have ordinary human vulnerabilities?

Blade I know mostly from before he was bitten by Morbius. I.e., he was a skilled fighter with no superhuman powers except immunity to vampire bites and an ability to detect the supernatural. Are his new powers just enhanced physical stats and regeneration? How strong is he? How durable? How fast does he heal?

Is this Shaman Nate Grey, or what?

 

[X]

I've read all of Planetary (Snow's series) and I never saw him make a construct.

He can drop the temperature to extremely low levels, though. Freeze people, freeze the ice in peoples brains, freeze them then break them... He's ruthless like that.

Besides that he's a normal human.

And yes, Kaboom writes him as Shaman I believe.

 

[wiegeabo]

I could have sworn Shaman Nate was tuber. But I'm probably thinking of something else.

 

[X]

Shaman Nate wasn't ever ruled too uber...

He's been in regular use for a long time.

 

[Nightwing]

something cool ive just noticed....MM doesnt have his fear of fire anymore.also in the same comic it shows him moving at incredible speed and using his heat vision to cause an explosion no more than 6 feet away

 

[Nightwing]

and can anyone explain to me...is MM using TK?i thought i saw on a front cover of his, he had his hands up stoping bullets in midair...is this a new skill hes aquired?

 

[X]

J'onn hasn't had a weakness to normal fire in a long time...

 

[The Leaguer]

I've never seen him use telekinesis. As for the fire thing, ever since the Fernus story, Martian Manhunter has only been weak to fire with a "negative" emotional attachment, like the fire of an arsonist or something.

 

[X]

Leaguer nailed it.

And I really love J'onn's new penis head look. It's just... great.

 

[Khellendros]

I can not imagine why he'd be tuber.
