The Official Contest of Marvels 3 Discussion Thread

Okay, I've written my list but as written, it's too long to PM. Is there some way I'm not aware of to attach files to a PM? Or should I just email the list?

Also: It's probably too late to make roster suggestions but you'll have to forgive me for that, I've only been on board with this thing since yesterday and missed most of the discussion period.

In any case, what about Dr Strange, Black Bolt, Ares, and Demagorge. Were they deemed too powerful? If so that seems inconsistent given some of the individuals still on there. Also what about Nick Fury and Frank Castle?
 
I thought Fury and Castle were on there. I'd much rather have Fury than Scott Lang. Especially with Fury's resources. Wouldn't mind having Castle too.

Speaking of resources, I can't remember. Did we say the characters are getting 24 hours of prep-time like before?


Oh, and Vaguard, who would you say are the inconsistent characters since we're leaving out guys like Strange and Blackbolt?
 
Well for example

Jean Grey
Rachel Grey
Sentry
Thor
Super Adaptoid (depending on when)
Cable (when powered)

Also since some of the characters are dead or depowered, what's the rule on when this takes place? do we go by most recent?

oh and what should I do by way of sending my list?
 
I was thinking we got rid of Super Adaptoid. There was a question about what powers he could tap.

Unless stated otherwise (like with Spider-Man), characters are as they were in their last appearance as of any issue marked Dec 2008. In the Spider-Man example, we're using The Other version because the Brand New Day version is so limited and has questionable experience.


And go ahead and send me the list in two pieces (assuming it'll fit in two). Oh, and put your name at the top of the first piece. The program I wrote uses the first name on the list to identify who owns which group of characters.
 
It wasn't the level of his powers, it's what his powers are?

Does he have a base set of powers (like Amazo usually has), or is it just the powers around him?
 
I'll send another facebook message to Midnight Ice and let him know we're at the sorting stage. See if he's decided if he wants to come back or not.
 
If you're doing one last bout of sorting, why not include Ares (I'd say instead of the Super Adaptoid)
 
OKay... what the heck happened to Ares?! He was approved! Now I'm just starting to get mad. This is rediculous. Let me look over that Avengers section and see what the heck happened.
 
I thought we decided to get rid of Ares.

*is also confused*
 
Okay, after looking into it, Punisher was lost in the same shuffle of Daredevil characters I missed before. And there was a small section of Avengers that were missed while I was compiling the Avengers Keep list. Fortunately several were added in the Misc. section and were then redistributed to the Avengers list anyhow. So now we have 4 more characters to add to the list, which means we need to drop 4 others. The characters needing added are:

Nick Fury
Maria Hill
Ares
Punisher

Now... after looking over the list I'd rather just leave Maria Hill out of the Tourney, but we'd still need 3 characters dropped to make room for Punisher, Fury, and Ares.

I suggest Ant-Man (Scott Lang) and Renascance (from the Newest incarnation of New Warriors).

And I'm thinking Justice (John Roger Tensen) being that he's the only character from the New Universe that we've used. I say just stamp him and that universe out entirely. He's kinda odd being the only one.
 
Yes, though she doesn't have the wind powers anymore. She now relies on tech for powers and just has a set of Doc Ock arms that shoot electricity (though not as flexible as his) and has a personal forcefield (though how strong it is isn't really clear yet). That's about it. I think all 4 of those I missed are better for the tourney than her.
 
She doesn't sound half bad. But if we can't find anyone else to drop, I'm fine with losing her.
 
She's not that bad at all. One of my favorate characters in the (as of this month) canceled New Warriors series. However, I do think that Ares, Punisher, and Nick Fury all have a better chance at advancing than she does. If we can find 3 other characters who would be better dropped I'd be happy, but I don't think we will.
 
And if we can Phaed and W, let's try to get this little mess up on my part taken care of quickly. If people are making lists we need to get the proper characters in place. So look for replacements, make suggestions, let's just knock this out real quick.
 
Personally, I like having Justice in this contest. I was pretty excited about having one of the New Universe characters get a shot at the big leagues.
 
I got your email, Ahura..but, I'm not going to open it until I get my list done some time this week. I don't want it to influence my picks in any way.
 
I appreciate that. I really only focused on part of my list. The rest will be random chance.
 
Of course, it doesn't take a brain scientist to figure out who you'd more than likely have in your #1 spot!
 
... i'm not sure exactly what a brain scientist is but i find the concept terrifying.

Is there anyone else you'd prefer to drop? We can consider Scott Lang gone. I suggested Renascance but W thought she could be interesting and I would much rather keep her myself. So if we can find 2 other to drop along with Scott Lang then I'd be happy. That'll make room for Nick Fury, Punisher, and Ares.

G-Type (cosmic section) - He's interesting but I don't think he's ever actually been shown fighting. So you'd have to find a way to beat him without breaking his containment suit, but it'd be hard to debate how he would actually fight himself. We don't really know what would be in character for him or what he could do. He's kind of a question mark.

Wild Child - He's okay but he's just another in a long line of feral characters. We already have Wolverine, Sabretooth, Daken, Sabretooth (AoA), and probably more that are better additions than Wild Child. Renascance is a more unique character than him. I wouldn't mind seeing him cut.

Trapster - I know he's a cool loser, but so was Shocker and I brought myself to cut him. He could be a decent cut here for some better additions.

Blue Shield - I'm still not convinced on this guy. And I still hate all things Spidey BND. It's bias... yes.

Boomerang - He has potential but I like the guys we're trying to add all better.
