Ok, I went through and picked and chose some more
Keep
Scarlet Spider (MVP) this is just Ben Reilly, right?
Ink as long as he's limited to spelled out powers. So we better get an 'official' bio with all of them.
We're not doing keeps really. Just eliminating characters until we have 80 left, so no need to do the Keeps or potential sections. As for these two, Scarlet Spider (MVP) actually isn't Ben Riley. There was a guy named MVP who died in the first few issues of Initiative. He was cloned because he was the perfect human specimen physically, like Captain America. 3 of the Clones were put in the Spider-Man armor that Iron Man made (which has new additions to it as well). One was killed and the other two are now a part of Justice's New Warriors/Counter Force team. They're basically like Peter Parker when he had the Iron Spidey suit, but with things like Stealth Mode and such. Very cool characters. This one character is sitting in for the two, since we don't need 2 of the same exact character.
HERE'S a bio explaining it all.
And Ink's powers are well defined and used. The only ones we won't use are the Phoenix and Healing tatoos, because Phoenix is too uber and he got both tatoos at the same time. So we'll take his continuity from the issue previous that one (forget which one at the moment. I can look it up).
HERE'S a bio where the powers are well defined.
Quasar (Wendall Vaughn) I'm always confused by the Quasars. Sometimes their described as the Marvel equivalent of Green Lantern, other times as cosmic beings
Maximus the Mad a lot of confusion in just how precarious his mental state, and therefore his mental power, is
Woz can't find a bio
I'm pretty sure the Quasars are moreso Green Lanterns. That's how I perceive them anyhow. Currently Maximus' mind is free of any imprisonment so he has full control of his mental powers. And
HERE'S a bio for Woz. I guess there was an error on my part. His name is Dewoz, not Woz.
Drop
The Ghost
Sack once he takes over the other guy, then what? Make him jump off a cliff?
Dog Brother #1
Joseph
Hmm, these are toughies.
Sack being able to take over someone and make them commit suicide is a strong attack really, and his gelly-like state makes him hard to hurt. That could be interesting really. Might take on some powerhouses that way.
Dog Brother 1 is a personal fave of mine due to my love of all the Immortal Weapons. I guess for me it comes down to whether or not you guys mind his using his dogs/wolves. If he can, add that to his fighting skill, ferocity, and tactical mind he's a tough dude that I'd rather keep. But if he isn't allowed the dogs then I'm okay with dropping him. I'll see what Phaed has to say.
I'll tell you what. I'll agree to dropping Ghost. I'll hold onto the other 3 for now and we'll see what Phaed has to say. I'll take Ghost off of the Potential list though.
