Galactus
Phoenix Force
Superboy-Prime
Living Tribunal
Mr. Mxyzptlk
Beyonder

2. Only Marvel and DC main universes. Keeps it within some kind of context.

4. Villains are allowed.
5. I'm allowing two individuals with the same name/powers to be drafted as long as they are a little different. So you can draft more than one Green Lantern as long as you specify who, two Robins, etc. if you please.

with the first pick in the Marvel/DC Draft Team ~primetime~ selects:

[B][SIZE="3"]Charles Xavier[/B][/SIZE]

[IMG]http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/3/31499/714091-professor_x_00_large.jpg[/IMG]

I need a leader to guide my team and who better than a man that can sense where my entire team is and what they are doing?

Natural leader for a team of super heros/villians and unless your team is all sporting special helmets he has control of them!!!

With the 2nd pick I choose: [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][B]BATMAN[/B][/FONT]

[IMG]http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/data/media/68/5265_3.JPG[/IMG]

Everyone knows Batman. He is possibly the most popular superhero in the world. Not only is he one of my favorite characters, but he possesses a wide variety of amazing abilities and resources that make him immensely powerful, respected, and feared by beings with much more raw power than him.

He is a [B]leader[/B] and a [B]loner/wild card [/B]at the same time. His experience in the Justice League, his own network and the Outsiders among other teams have shown that he can adequately fill many positions in a team. He will not be my primary/most vocal leader, but he is the most important member of my team.

His most important abilities are probably his[B] paranoia[/B] and [B]detective skills[/B]. By being extremely distrustful he can hatch ridiculously intricate plans to make sure that every threat whether friend or for can be neutralized. We all know that he has fought Superman to more than a standstill, and he has even the courage to go up against Darkseid using some well planned bargaining chips. He even has safe words and mental blocks to help him trick himself into not revealing his identity! He can plan meticulously or think on the fly better than anyone else.

Of course, he is a [B]master combat artist[/B], probably the best man for [B]espionage[/B] in the DC universe, is extremely skilled at [B]technology and science[/B], and has the Wayne [B]money and resources[/B] to help supply the team. He has had contact with almost every important DC characters, and has teamed up with many Marvel characters as well.

Batman ultimately brings to the table:
-Combat skills
-Detective Deduction
-Superior Combat strategy and planning
-High level Technology
-Communications network
-Leadership
-Money
-Ruthlessness

[IMG]http://www.superherotimes.com/newsarchive/dcd111204batmanposter.jpg[/IMG]
and finally: he is always understimated by first-time foes because he is only a man.

wow @ this thread.....


ISh must be full of people that got picked on at school.

Superman

[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/72/Superman.jpg/250px-Superman.jpg[/IMG]

:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

With the fourth pick in the draft, The BMFs select....

[IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/2upvnea.jpg[/IMG]

[B][SIZE="5"]Dr. Victor von Doom[/SIZE][/B]

[I]Doom's most dangerous weapon is his intellect. A true genius, he is considered to be one of the most intelligent human beings in the Marvel Universe, second only to his arch-nemesis Reed Richards. He has extensive knowledge of all sciences, and is an expert in robotics, genetic engineering, weapons technology, bio-chemistry, and other fields. Doom is depicted constructing numerous devices in order to defeat his foes or gain more power, including a time machine, a device to imbue people with superpowers, and numerous robots. Doom's calculating and strategic nature leads him to use "Doombots," exact mechanical replicas of the real Doctor Doom, for many missions, typically those where he fears defeat.[19] Doom also possesses a limited amount of magic ability. This ability is due to knowledge of the mystic arts learned during his time with Tibetan monks and from his mother. His magical talents are limited by his lack of humility and refusal to admit that he is not a master of all arts. [/I]- Wiki

Dr. Doom will be the leader of my crew. As the draft continues, you will see a trend.

Edit: Sorry.

I'm going to draft the more popular guy since I know that the other one will be available in later rounds.

So, I draft:

[IMG]http://student.dcu.ie/%7Elawlesc4/The%20joker.jpg[/IMG]

A criminal mastermind of the highest order. He will be the leader of my group. Nothing more need be said.

hey can I join, I used to love the old DC comics.

Since Intrinsic isn't on I'll make the pick and draft an ideal field commander and tactician in Captain America

[IMG]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u315/navajojoe500/captain_america2.gif[/IMG]

Ranked #1 Comic Villian Of All Time (VOAT?)
[QUOTE]Magneto has become bigger than his peers and virtually all of his enemies. It's the sign of a great character when his presence dominates a story and his absence creates a vacuum that cannot be filled by any other. Through his legendary role in Marvel Comics over the years as well as fantastic portrayals in film and animation, it's hard to argue that there has ever been a villain more complex, nuanced, sympathetic and yet irrevocably evil. [/QUOTE]
I pick Magneto. He has tremendous power, genius-level intellect, physical combat prowess, immune to telepathy, master strategist, and inspiring leadership...just to name a few of his attributes. Other powerful mutants practically worship the guy and would do anything he asked. Therefore, Magneto will be one of my leaders who can also mix it up on the front lines as well as anyone.

[IMG]http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/1697/229703-magneto_large.jpg[/IMG]



[QUOTE]The full extent of Magneto's power has been greatly expanded upon in the years since he was first introduced. At a basic level, however, Magneto has the ability to manipulate the electromagnetic force to achieve a wide range of effects.

Such effects include the [B]creation of force-fields which selectively block out matter and energy[/B] (he can block the energy release and shockwaves from a nuclear explosion but allow visible light and the sound of his voice to permeate the shield). Thanks to this, [B]Magneto is invulnerable to most harm when his personal field is active and can survive in deep space.[/B]
[B]
He can produce and manipulate all forms of electromagnetic radiation and has displayed control over electricity as well. He can also channel his magnetic powers through his own body so as to temporarily increase his strength, stamina, and agility to superhuman level[/B]s.

Magneto has been depicted using his powers to affect both magnetic and nonmagnetic materials down to a subatomic level, although it seems easier for him to manipulate the former. He has levitated objects as heavy as a 30,000 ton nuclear submarine and pulled a large amount of asteroids from their orbits in the solar system's asteroid belt to entirely block sunlight from reaching the earth; the maximum quantity of mass that he can levitate at one time is unknown.

He has demonstrated the capacity to[B] warp the space/time continuum and create a wormhole to safely teleport himself and others[/B]; this, however, can only be explained by manipulation of gravity and it has been theorized that he can potentially control all 4 forces of matter. Magneto's ability to wield his powers effectively is dependent upon his physical condition; when severely injured, his body is unable to withstand the strain of using his powers.

Magneto has been consistently and frequently depicted as resisting all but the strongest or most unexpected telepathic attacks. Over the years a number of explanations has been proposed for this, such as: anti-telepathy technology wired into his helmet, latent telepathic powers (during the Secret Wars saga), some physical aspect of his electromagnetic powers that can interfere with telepathy (he once used the earth's magnetic field to dampen the powers of all telepaths within his reach), or sheer willpower. In his early appearances, Magneto was also able to engage in astral projection.

In addition to his powers, Magneto is also a [B]genius[/B] with competence in various fields of advanced science, especially in genetic manipulation, physics, engineering, and other fields of technology. He has invented advanced weaponry, space stations, and intelligent superhuman lifeforms. Magneto is also a [B]master strategist with extensive combat experience[/B] capable of surviving or even winning against what would appear to be a superior force. Finally, he has had extensive combat training, though he prefers to use his powers in combat situations.[/QUOTE]

with the 9th pick in the Marvel/DC Draft Team Doomsday Dallas selects:

[B][SIZE="3"]Tony Stark[/SIZE][/B]

[IMG]http://awordlessordinary.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/tonystark.jpg[/IMG]

[SIZE="3"][B]Armor[/B][/SIZE]
See also: Iron Man's armor
Iron Man possesses powered armor that gives him superhuman strength and durability, flight, and an array of weapons. The armor is invented and (with occasional short-term exceptions) worn by Stark. Other people who have assumed the Iron Man identity include Stark's long-time partner and best friend James Rhodes; close associates Harold "Happy" Hogan; Eddie March; and (briefly) Michael O'Brien.

The weapons systems of the suit have changed over the years, but Iron Man's standard offensive weapons have always been the repulsor rays that are fired from the palms of his gauntlets. Other weapons built into various incarnations of the armor include: the uni-beam projector in its chest; pulse bolts (that pick up on kinetic energy along the way; so the farther they travel, the harder they hit); an electromagnetic pulse generator; and a defensive energy shield that can be extended up to 360 degrees. Other capabilities include: generating ultra-freon (i.e., a freeze-beam); creating and manipulating magnetic fields; emitting sonic blasts; and projecting 3-dimensional holograms (to create decoys).

In addition to the general-purpose model he wears, Stark has developed several specialized suits for space travel, deep-sea diving, stealth, and other situations. Stark has modified suits, like the Hulkbuster heavy armor. The Hulkbuster armor is composed of add-ons to his so-called modular armor, designed to enhance its strength and durability enough to engage the Incredible Hulk in a fight. A later model, designed for use against Thor, is modeled on the Destroyer and uses a mystical powersource. Stark also develops an electronics pack during the Armor Wars that, when attached to armors that use Stark technologies, will burn-out those components

Dooms got Iron Man and now it's finally my pick. A bit surprised this popular comic star hasn't been selected, I'll take:

Spider-Man

[IMG]http://www.ubergizmo.com/photos/2007/9/spiderman-suit.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE]When Spider-Man first appeared in the early 1960s, teenagers in superhero comic books were usually relegated to the role of sidekick to the series' main character. The Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring Peter Parker, a teenage high school student to whose "self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness" young readers could relate.[1]:210 Unlike previous teen heroes such as Bucky and Robin, Spider-Man did not benefit from adult mentors like Captain America and Batman and had to learn for himself that "with great power comes great responsibility", a line that is most commonly his Uncle Ben's last or most remembered phrase.

Updated with me and quata

I pick [B]The Sentry[/B]
[IMG]http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/696/696127/sentry-20060315012531235.jpg[/IMG]

The Sentry's powers derive from a serum that moves his molecules an instant ahead of the current timeline. Even though most of his powers and their limits are unknown, he displays several abilities including vast superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability and senses, the power of flight, and energy projection.

The Sentry has been shown to be able to easily lift tremendous weights, but generally greatly restrains his full power. He has been able to effortlessly defeat, and break the axe of Terrax, a herald of Galactus shown as powerful enough to slice planets in two, easily break through the shields of Doctor Doom, and his unrestrained power even overloaded the Absorbing Man. He possesses super-human speed, making him easily able to evade or catch bullets, and through flight he can travel to the sun and back in a matter of minutes. Nick Fury has stated that S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet found a way to kill the Sentry, and Iron Man's scanners have found no physical weaknesses in his body. His durability rivals that of Thor, Hulk and Hercules. By unleashing his full potentia he managed to fight an extremely enraged Hulk for a prolonged time until both fighters reverted to their human forms and the Sentry collapses at Bruce Banner's feet. The Sentry also has superhuman senses as he once tells an opponent that he can see his nerve centers and claimed to be able to "hear a butterfly sneeze in Central Africa" from New York City. He can project energy fields and control light, and he uses his mental powers in his daily life, although they are primarily used for holding his physical form together. He was once able to implant his memories inside another person's mind. He appears to be able to bring the dead back to life under extreme emotional distress. After Ultron murdered his wife, Sentry was able to resuscitate her by simply touching her. He can also emit a radiation that pacifies the Hulk, severely limiting the latter's rage-fueled power.

Sentry possesses tremendous energy projection, capable of harming even the Hulk, who has withstood the equivalent of solar flares unharmed. The serum he drank was stated as being a hundred thousand times stronger than the original used on Captain America, and was modified by Weapon X.

Great pick Quata.

I choose...The Silver Surfer

[IMG]http://www.superherotimes.com/newsarchive/SilverSurfermain.jpg[/IMG]

[B][I]Origin[/I][/B]

[I]Norrin Radd - former herald of Galactus, omnipotent devourer of worlds. Radd offered his life to protect his planet of birth, Zenn La, from the insatiable hunger of mighty Galactus. Galactus accepted Radd's offer and imbued him with a infinitesmal fraction of his Power Cosmic. Galactus transformed Radd's flesh into a virtually indestructable metallic substance and created a silver 'surfboard' which he would use to travel across the cosmos in search for planets[/I]

[B][I]Powers/Abilities[/I][/B]


[I]As a former herald of Galactus the Silver Surfer posseses the Power Cosmic. The Power Cosmic is capable of a virtually incalculable number of effects because it gives the wielder control over the four fundamental forces of the universe. Some of these abilities are the transmutation of matter, the capacity to fire destructive blasts powerful enough to destroy a planet, heal other beings, phase through objects, accelerate the evolution of lifeforms (even on a planet wide scale), see the past by peeling back the layers of time, time travel, travel between dimensions, and the ability to manipulate or absorb any form of energy or radiation. The Power Cosmic also grants the Surfer a form of cosmic awareness that allows him to feel all of the energy around him and to have some sense of the state of the universe. The Silver Surfer has strength levels that rival an enraged Hulk and is durable enough to survive the cold of space, the heat of stars, supernovae and even the crushing forces of black holes. The Surfer does not require food, oxygen or sleep although he has been known to eat, drink, and even sleep on rare occasions. [/I]

[B][I]Dr. Strange[/I][/B]

Went with the best source of magic.

[IMG]http://www.marvel.com/i/2007/movies/drstrange/strange_right.jpg[/IMG]


[I]Doctor Strange is one of the most powerful sorcerers in existence. Like most sorcerers, he draws his power from three primary sources: the invocation of powerful mystic entities or objects, the manipulation of the universe's ambient magical energy, and his own psychic resources. Strange's magical repertoire includes energy projection and manipulation, matter transformation, animation of inanimate objects, teleportation, illusion-casting, mesmerism, thought projection, astral projection, dimensional travel, time travel and mental possession, to name a few. The full range of his abilities is unknown. Doctor Strange's powers are sometimes less effective against strictly science-based opponents, although he can overcome this limitation with effort. Teleportation, Telepathy, Telekinesis, Magic, Hypnokinesis, Astral Projection are among his powers[/I]

he'll serve me good against Superman and the many others whose weaknesses are Magic

[B]Black Adam[/B]

[IMG]http://djblackadam.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451d28b69e200e553801e718834-800wi[/IMG]
When your being played by the rock in a movie you cant go wrong :D

S for the stamina of Shu Using Shu's endurance, Black Adam can withstand and survive most types of extreme physical assaults. Additionally, he does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe and can survive unaided in space.
H for the swiftness of Heru By channeling Heru's speed, Black Adam can move at sub-light speeds in orbit. In outer space, Black Adam can fly at trans-light speeds, while on Earth he has been depicted of running at a maximum Mach 500.
A for the strength of Amon Black Adam has a phenomenal level of super strength, able to easily bend steel, punch through walls, and lift massive objects. Adam's strength is generally depicted of being on levels equal to those of Superman and Captain Marvel, though some writers have portrayed his strength as possibly outmatching them; on at least one occasion, he has been able to successfully hold his own against an assemblage of the Justice League, Justice Society, and the Teen Titans. This is something neither Superman nor Captain Marvel have been able to do.
Z for the wisdom of Zehuti Black Adam has instant access to a vast level of scholarly knowledge. The wisdom of Zehuti also provides him with counsel and advice in times of need.
A for the power of Aton Aton's power allows Black Adam to fly, fuels the magic thunderbolt that transforms Adam, enhances Adam's other physical abilities, and provides magic resistance against a massive amount of magic spells and attacks. Adam can use the lightning bolt as a weapon by dodging it and allowing it to strike an opponent or target.
M for the courage of Mehen This aspect is primarily psychological, and gives Black Adam superhuman amounts of inner strength from which to draw. His strength of mind renders him resistant to telepathy and mind control. In some depictions, the courage of Mehen also provides a degree of his invulnerability to harm.

My pick:

Thor

[IMG]http://www.superherotimes.com/newsarchive/Thor.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE]Being the son of Odin and the elder goddess Gaea, Thor is the physically strongest of the Norse gods, and has performed such feats as lifting an indeterminate though significant percentage of the World Serpent, stated to be one third the size of the Earth, and hurling the Odinsword, an enormous mystical blade of incalculable weight, through a Celestial. If pressed in battle, Thor is also capable of entering into a state known as the "Warrior's Madness" ("b

Storm is one of the most powerful mutants in the Marvel Universe and has demonstrated a plethora of abilities, most of which are facets of her power to control the weather.[64] Storm possesses the psionic ability to control all forms of weather over vast areas. She has been able to control both Earthly and extraterrestrial ecosystems on several occasions. She can control the temperature of the environment, control all forms of precipitation, humidity and moisture (at a molecular level), generate lightning and other electromagnetic atmospheric phenomena, and has demonstrated excellent control over atmospheric pressure. She can incite all forms of meteorological tempests, such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, blizzards, and is capable of summoning a hurricane,[65] as well as mist. She can dissipate such weather to form clear skies as well.

Her precise control over the atmosphere allows her to create special weather effects. She can create precipitation at higher or lower altitudes than normal, make whirlwinds travel pointing lengthwise in any direction, absorb ambient electromagnetism and output it as powerful electric blasts from her body, flash freeze objects and people, coalesce atmospheric pollutants into acid rain or toxic fog, and summon wind currents strong enough to support her weight to elevate herself to fly at high altitudes and speeds. Her control over air is so great that she can even manipulate the air in a person's lungs. She can also control the pressure inside the human inner ear, using this ability to cause intense pain. She can also bend light using moisture in the air and her manipulation of mist and fog to become partially transparent, and in later comics, almost completely invisible.

Storm has also demonstrated the ability to control natural forces that include cosmic storms, solar wind, ocean currents, and the electromagnetic field. She has demonstrated the ability to separate water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen via electrolysis, allowing her to breathe underwater. While in outer space, she is able to affect and manipulate the interstellar and intergalactic mediums. Storm can alter her visual perceptions so as to see the universe in terms of energy patterns, detecting the flow of kinetic, thermal and electromagnetic energy behind weather phenomena and bending this energy to her will.

Storm has shown to be sensitive to the dynamics of the natural world, and her psionic powers over weather are affected by her emotions. One consequence of this connection to nature is that she often suppresses extreme feelings to prevent her emotional state from resulting in violent weather. She has sensed a diseased and dying tree on the X-Mansion grounds, detected objects within various atmospheric mediums--including water, and sensed the incorrect motion of a hurricane in the Northern Hemisphere and the gravitational stress on the tides by the Moon and Sun as well as the distortion of a planet's magnetosphere.[66] Storm's mutant abilities are limited by her willpower and the strength of her body. Sentinels identify Storm as a possible Omega-level mutant.[67]


[B]Magical potential[/B]

Storm's ancestry supports the use of magic and witchcraft.[68] Many of her ancestors were sorceresses and priestesses. Storm's matrilineal powers have even been linked to the real-world Rain Queens of Balobedu, the region from which her Sorceress Supreme ancestor, Ayesha, hails. The Mystic Arcana series deals with Storm's ancestor Ashake, who worships the Egyptian goddess Ma'at, also known as Oshtur

[B]Abilities:[/B]

[QUOTE]Darkseid is among the most powerful New Gods, sometimes depicted with a variety of god-like abilities at his disposal. His main power, the Omega Effect, is a form of energy that he fires from his eyes as either concussive force or beams of disintegration, capable of transmuting or erasing most objects and organisms from existence as well as to reform or resurrect them. Anything Darkseid disintegrates with the Omega Effect can be brought back at any time by him, and he often uses this as a form of punishment. Darkseid has pinpoint control over his Omega Beams, and his unerring aim allows them to travel in straight lines, bend, twist, or curve around corners, and can pass through matter and energy. Alongside incineration, transmutation, and resurrection the Omega Effect can also be used to teleport Darkseid or others through time and space.

Darkseid is also able to project the Omega Effect as energy blasts from his hands. Another type of Omega Effect is the Omega Sanction. The Omega Sanction traps the organism in a series of alternate realities, each worse than the previous one. Also, the ability has been shown to transport those struck by it through time and space.

In addition, Darkseid possesses superhuman strength, stamina, and durability equivalent to the corresponding traits of Superman and Orion . Countdown To Final Crisis #2 reveals that he also possesses the ability to increase his size. Darkseid possesses the power of telepathy and has also shown the ability to create psionic avatars and to lift objects with his mind (telekinesis). He is even able to open Boom Tubes under his own power, and can travel through time, space, and other dimensions with ease. Darkseid is also, being a god, virtually immortal, having returned from the dead a number of times and having lived for several thousand years at the very least.

Despite his great might, Darkseid generally does not rely on physical combat; he is a master schemer and strategist possessing a superhuman intellect. Darkseid has also shown some form of godly sense, capable of sensing the death of his son Orion and the fluctuations of the energy of the "Godwave" . Darkseid commands all the vast military and technological resources of Apokolips.[/QUOTE]

I pick The X-Man, Nate Grey. He's one the most powerful psychics out there with unmatched telepathy, telekinesis, and psionics. Also, he can teleport so he can easily move my team around.


[IMG]http://xrpg.rpcommunity.com/images/nate.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE]X-Man has the ability to tap into the enormous psychic resources of the astral plane in order to [B]manipulate matter and energy.[/B] This grants him incredible psychic powers including telepathy and telekinesis. He can use his telepathy to[B] read minds and even read residual thought imprints left on objects touched by people (psychometry), communicate with others by broadcasting his thoughts, control minds, create illusions by altering the perceptions of others, fire psionic blasts that can scramble an opponent's thought processes (causing the victim either intense pain, or rendering them unconscious), project his mind into the astral plane and even pull the astral projections of other telepaths into the physical world, and sense dimensional rifts or anomalies.[/B]

His telekinesis allows him to move, levitate, and manipulate matter by using his thoughts, create defensive shields by focusing his telekinetic energies around himself and others, and channel his psychic powers into explosive psionic force blasts. By levitating himself, he can fly at amazing speeds, and he can phase through solid matter by mentally shifting the object's molecules around his as he moves forward. His [B]mental fine motor skills are so acute that he can mentally manipulate dust particles and water vapor to refract lightwaves and create holograms. He also has creative uses of his powers such as using his telekinesis to channel the Earth's magnetic field through the electrocurrent of his brain and generate devastating electromagnetic pulses[/B]. X-Man even learned that he could use his telekinesis to transport himself into other dimensions by mentally bending the dimensional barriers that separate one reality from another.[/QUOTE]

Why the Stranger? Power and vitality.

[QUOTE]During Day of Vengeance, the Stranger had been turned into a small rodent by the Spectre. He was still able to advise the Detective Chimp, who sheltered him in his hat while he recovered his powers. He changed back using recovered energies [3] and aided the Shadowpact, allowing them to see the battle between the Spectre and Shazam. That makes a point that the supernatural community generally regards the Phantom Stranger as invincible.[/QUOTE]

A worthy adversary of both might and magic, Phantom Stranger will play a key role in battles against other top tier selections.

[CENTER]Emma Frost
[IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/307puzd.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER]

Emma Frost is a mutant psion of enormous[57][58][59] telepathic ability and is also capable of transforming into an organic diamond state with enhanced strength and durability which suppresses her telepathy.

[edit]
Telepathy

Frost's abilities have been stated to rival that of Charles Xavier,[60] and she has been ranked amongst the five most powerful known telepaths on the planet[61] capable of extraordinary telepathic feats.[62] Since her introduction, Frost has displayed the telepathic standards of broadcasting and receiving thoughts, mind-control, altering perceptions and memories, psionic blast projection, astral projection, mind switching, brain engram modification, mental sedation and induction of mental pain via touch. Frost is also very adept at performing 'psychic surgery': the utilization of pin-pointed psionic energy to exert absolute control over individual brain functions such that the physical form can be manipulated (i.e., injuries healed, disabilities repaired, the nervous system, etc), a sub-skill of telepathy unusual for even the most powerful of telepaths.

[edit]
Diamond form

During the destruction of Genosha, Frost developed a secondary mutation: the ability to transform herself into a perfectly smooth, flexible, translucent diamond state.[63] In this form Frost is nigh-invulnerable and can support incredible amounts of weight, though different writers have shown varying accounts of her strength. Emma's diamond body is virtually tireless as she does not produce fatigue poisons and has no need for water or food.[64] She is also numbed from all emotion and empathy, "impervious to cold"[65] and resistant to heat in this form.[66][67][68] Though the exact location of the flaw in her diamond body has not been stated outright, clues point to it being located in between her eyes.[69]

Frost's full range of abilities between her diamond state and regular form have also been inconsistent[64][70]; however, recent occurrences[71][72] depict that Frost cannot access her psychic powers in diamond form, explained as suppression by her diamond form's adamantine luster.[73] Depictions have also stated that Emma has a degree of telepathic immunity while in diamond form, though the extent of this immunity has been portrayed inconsistently as well.[74][75]

[edit]
Telekinetic potential

On occasion, it has been hinted that Frost is also a latent telekinetic. Jean's displaced psyche was able to use Frost's brain to generate a telekinetic force field and fly while it inhabited the White Queen's body.[76] During the Onslaught Saga, Frost unwittingly levitated several kitchen utensils while having a bad dream.[77] When the mutant Synch "synched" with Frost's powers, he was able to use them to levitate several objects and individuals in the room. This phenomenon is then referred to as telekinesis and credited to Frost's psi powers.[78]

[edit]
Innate traits and expertise

Frost has a genius intellect and is a superb businesswoman with college degrees in multiple fields. She is a highly capable planner, an electronics expert[73] and is highly skilled at inventing devices that amplify, block, or engage psionic energy, as well as exploiting flaws in most electronic equipment. Emma has designed an array of devices some of which are the "Mutivac"; a mutant locater capable of monitoring the psionic levels of mutants, the "Hallucinator" used to induce hypnotic hallucinations to brainwash others, the persona exchange gun that enabled her to exchange minds with another individual, and the mechanism which enhanced and enabled her Hellfire cohort Mastermind to project his illusions directly into the mind of the Phoenix.

Martian Manhunter AKA John Jones

[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cf/MartianManhunterRossAlex.jpg[/IMG]

He is Practically a Clone of Superman. Among the Greatest Strategest In all of Marvel.

[QUOTE]Martian Manhunter [B]possesses a wide variety of superhuman powers, many of which are similar to those of Superman and Wonder Woman, including super-strength, super-speed, invulnerability and flight[/B]. Like Superman, Martian Manhunter has "Martian vision" (a term designating both the ability to see through solid objects and the ability to generate optic heat beams).

During the '90s, it was stated that the source of his flight and "Martian vision" is a form of telekinesis (he had occasionally demonstrated more traditional uses of telekinesis to levitate and animate objects during his Detective Comics and House of Mystery appearances).

The Martian Manhunter also[B] possesses the power of shapeshifting[/B], which he employs for various effects (e.g., adopting human or monstrous appearance, elongating his limbs, growing to immense size). He [B]can alter the chemical makeup of his body to imitate various materials such as steel or stone[/B]. [B]J'onn can render himself invisible, and is also able to become intangible so as to pass harmlessly through solid objects[/B]. He is a [B]powerful telepath, capable of both perceiving the thoughts of others and of projecting his own thoughts[/B]. [B]He often acts as a "switchboard" between minds in order to coordinate the Justice League's actions. The extent of his telepathic abilities is great; several times he has connected to the entire planet Earth.[/B]

[B][I][U]His Greatest Abilility IMO

[B]He has demonstrated regenerative abilities, once able to regenerate himself from only his severed hand but with great strain (due to the loss of mass he found it necessary to incorporate new matter from Martian sand). Early appearances of the character show him as able to breathe underwater[/B]

[B]Aside from his superhuman powers, the Manhunter is also a skilled and very capable detective. As Batman mentions in his file, that "in many ways, Martian Manhunter is like an amalgam of Superman and the Dark Knight himself.[/B]"[/QUOTE]

Often seen wearing a cape, clean underwear over his pants, and a belt around his head, Quailman was a match for any evil-doer using his three 'powers' -- patience, intelligence, and speed. If those didn't work, there was always the "Quail Eye", a ray fired from his eyes, which would render his enemies "helpless and stupified". Quailman's villains are often based on Roger, with "Klotz" always being part of their name, for example "Dr. Klotzenstein", "Klotzilla", "Baron Von Klotz", "The Cyklotz", and Dr. Rubbersuit. Mr. Bone was also a villain twice ("Robo-Bone" and "The Rulemeister"). His dark side pays homage to the evil Superman in Superman III.

[SIZE="5"][I][FONT="Verdana"]The Flash[/FONT][/I][/SIZE]

[IMG]http://bookhound.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/geoff-johns-flash-rebirth-1.jpg[/IMG]

The Flash is the ultimate speedster. And speed is crucial in these matches of titans. Possessing access to the Speed Force, the Flash has been shown to run at speeds allowing him access to other dimensions, he has run FASTER THAN DEATH, and has been able to travel back in time.

While some of those feats might be overpowered, even if we eliminate those ridiculous feats he still has one of the most dangerous arsenal of powers.

His power over speed is not just limited to his own body.

He can [B]grant speed to others and take away speed from his enemies, [/B]making them immobile and useless, and making him an excellent teammate.

He can also [B]give other objects the same velocity[/B], so he can throw buses at you at the speed of light, or transfer kinetic energy into you and make you explode.

He can [B]vibrate his molecules[/B] so he pasess harmlessly through almost any type of matter.

Flash is my [B]glue guy.[/B] He can almost literally be everywhere at once, and with a proper field captain utilizing his abilities to the maximum efficiency he can take out the glass cannons early on, or transport the big hitters to another zip code/continent. I will also pick Barry Allen to represent the Flash, as he is the most experienced of the modern Flashes. Wally was always shown to be a little immature, but Barry has more experience and has been shown to be able to sacrifice himself for the betterment of the team. He and Batman also have team experience together, making the foundation of my team already able teammates.

[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/aa/Flash207.jpg[/IMG]

I think Flash is a great example of a character who has a chance to be overpowered, but if we are reasonable in evaluating him, he will be extremely powerful, but not too powerful that he can not be allowed.

[IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/9ka6ih.jpg[/IMG]

[B][SIZE="4"]Scarlet Witch[/SIZE][/B]

[I]Initially, the Scarlet Witch had the mutant ability to manipulate probability via her "hexes", which usually manifested physically as "hex spheres" or "hex bolts". Wanda has the ability to affect probability fields to cause an occurrence of various unlikely phenomena, including spontaneous combustion of inflammable objects, rapid rust or decay of organic or inorganic materials, deflection of objects and powers in flight, and disruption of energy transmissions or fields. These hexes were relatively short range and limited to line of sight. Casting a hex requires a gesture and concentration on her part, though the gestures are largely a focus for the concentration. Despite this precision, the hexes are not necessarily guaranteed to work, particularly if Wanda is tired or using her powers excessively. If overextended, Wanda's hexes can backfire, causing probability to work against her wishes or to undo previous hexes. The effects are varied but almost always detrimental to opponents, such as causing the artifact the Evil Eye to work against inter-dimensional warlord Dormammu,[50] the robot Ultron to short circuit,[51] or a gas main underneath the Brotherhood of Mutants to explode.[52] Wanda is an expert combatant having been trained by both Captain America and Hawkeye, as well as being an adept tacitician due to her years of experience working as an Avenger and her experience in a variety of combat situations.

Writer Kurt Busiek redefined the Scarlet Witch's powers, and maintained that it was in fact an ability to manipulate chaos magic, given to her by the demon Chthon (imprisoned within Wundagore Mountain) when she was born. Busiek's redefinition upgraded Wanda's powers substantially, and she is shown as being capable of feats such as the resurrection of Wonder Man. Writer Brian Michael Bendis later revamped Wanda's powers yet again, with Doctor Strange stating that there was in fact no such thing as chaos magic and that Wanda had been altering reality all along.[/I]

With the 1st pick in Round 3, ~Primetime~ selects...

[IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/28ksnci.jpg[/IMG]

[B][SIZE="4"]Wolverine[/SIZE][/B]

[I]Wolverine is a mutant with a number of both natural and artificial improvements to his physiology. His primary mutant power is an accelerated healing process, typically referred to as his mutant healing factor, that regenerates damaged or destroyed areas of his body far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary human. This power facilitated the artificial improvements he was subjected to under the Weapon X program, in which his skeleton was reinforced with the nearly-indestructible metal adamantium.

Depictions of the speed and extent of injury to which Wolverine can heal vary. Originally, this was portrayed as accelerated healing of minor wounds,[24] but writers have steadily increased this ability over the years. After several years, Wolverine's healing factor was depicted as healing severe wounds within a matter of days or hours.[25][26] Other writers went on to increase Wolverine's healing factor to the point that it could fully regenerate nearly any damaged or destroyed bodily tissues within seconds.[27][28][29] Among the more extreme depictions of Wolverine's healing factor include fully healing after being caught near the center of an atomic explosion[30] and the total regeneration of his soft body tissue, within a matter of minutes, after having it incinerated from his skeleton.[31] It has been stated in the Xavier Protocols, a series of profiles created by Xavier that lists the strengths and weaknesses of the X-Men, that Wolverine's healing factor is increased to "incredible levels" and theorizes that the only way to stop him is to decapitate him and remove his head from the vicinity of his body.[32] If an object composed of carbonadium is inserted and remains lodged within his body, his healing powers are slowed dramatically though they are not fully suppressed.[33] His healing factor also dramatically slows his aging process. Despite being born in the late 1800s,[34] he has the appearance and vitality of a man in his physical prime. Though he now has all of his memories, his healing abilities can provide increased recovery from psychological trauma by suppressing memories in which he experiences profound distress.[35]

In addition to accelerated healing of physical traumas, Wolverine's healing factor makes him extraordinarily resistant to diseases, drugs, and toxins. However, he still suffers the immediate effects of such substances; he has been shown to become intoxicated after significant dosages of alcoholic beverages,[36] and has been incapacitated on several occasions with drugs and poisons.[37] Although his body heals, the healing factor doesn't suppress the pain he endures while injured.[38]

Wolverine's mutation also consists of animal-like adaptations of his body, including pronounced canines and three retractable claws housed within each forearm. While originally depicted as bionic implants created by the Weapon X program,[39] the claws are later revealed to be a natural part of his body.[40] The claws are not made of keratin, as claws tend to be in the animal kingdom, but extremely dense bone, and can cut substances as durable as most metals, wood, and some varieties of stone.[41] Wolverine's hands do not have openings for the claws to move through: they cut through his flesh every time he extrudes them, with occasional references implying that he feels a moment of intense pain each and every time he does so.[42]

Wolverine's entire skeleton, including his claws, is molecularly infused with adamantium. Due to their coating, his claws can cut almost any known solid material. The only known exceptions are adamantium itself and Captain America's shield, which is composed of a Vibranium-Iron alloy, the only substance in the Marvel Universe known to be even more durable than adamantium (adamantium was an attempt to artificially mimic the alloy in Captain America's shield). Wolverine's ability to slice completely through a substance depends upon both the amount of force he can exert and the thickness of the substance. The adamantium also weights his blows, increasing the effectiveness of his offensive capabilities. However, this also makes him exceptionally susceptible to electrical and magnetic attacks.[/I]

This was a hard pick, because there were a lot of people I wanted to draft here and I have a feeling my pick would drop, but I have to make sure I get a GL. I'm picking the Ultimate Green Lantern:

He is a Daxamite, which means he has equivalent powers to a Kryptonian under a yellow sun like Superman, but is weak to Lead instead of Kryptonite.

That means along with a Green Lantern ring that is the most powerful weapon in the universe, he has:
-Super Strength/Hearing/Speed/Breath (whatever that means)
-X ray/Microscopic/Telescopic Vision
-Flight
-Heat vision

I would like to pick him with his ION powers, but I understand if that makes him too strong, even though he is still learning the ropes of wielding the power.

He has been shown to be fearless, going up against Superboy Prime by himself and holding his own for a while. He will be my heavy hitter, the tank of my team while also having the versatility granted by the GL ring.

He is also not afraid to use lethal force, unlike Superman:

Best known for killing Superman.

With our next pick I'll take Black Bolt

[IMG]http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x260/king784/300px-BlackBolt3.jpg[/IMG]

Black Bolt's powers are the result of electron manipulation. The speech center of his brain is linked to the control of his power so that vocal expression creates an extremely destructive electron disruption field. Through electron gathering and manipulation, the character can increase strength, speed, stamina, and durability - even channeling the power into a single punch called "The Master Blow". This act, however, leaves the character exhausted and must recover afterwards. Harnessing electrons for matter transformation, the controlled projection of energy as concussive blasts or quasi-solid particle/electron fields, broadcasting jamming frequencies and flight is also possible.

Black Bolt's most prominent offensive weapon is his voice, as his electron-harnessing ability is linked to the speech center of his brain. Speaking triggers a disturbance of the particle/electron interaction field: a word can level a city,[38] a shout can awaken distant volcanoes and cause tremors on a continent on the far side of the planet.[12] Due to the extreme danger posed by this power, the character has undergone rigorous mental training to prevent himself from uttering a sound, even in sleep. The fork-like antenna on Black Bolt's forehead allows more controlled use of his voice.

Black Bolt has the ability to unleash great destructive power through the use of his voice, but even the slightest whisper will release his power. Therefore, for the most part, he remains silent. This "quasi-sonic" scream is powered by electron energy that he draws in from the environment. At maximum the force is equal to that caused by the detonation of a nuclear weapon. Other possible manifestations of this harnessed electron energy include electron energy blasts, flight, enhanced strength (the "Master Blow" being a superhuman punch), ability to survive in space, and the ability to analyze and manipulate matter. The fork-shaped antenna that Black Bolt has worn upon his brow since childhood enable him to channel his powers in more directed, less destructive ways. Due to the fear of speaking while sleeping, Black Bolt practices a form of meditation, which may also help to enhance his abilities.[citation needed] [B]One sound-generated attack was sufficient to instantly destroy both the Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange and the mightiest human being in the universe, the Sentry, on a parallel world. [/B][39]

I choose Loki, the master schemer. If you are going to fight to the death, you may as well fight dirty, and noone is dirtier then Loki. Nobody is better at manipulating events better then the God of Mischief. Although he prefers to remain in the shadows, Loki is still a deadly opponent if challenged. He has had thousands of years to practice and hone his sorcery, to an extent that it equals or may even surpass that of Dr. Strange. Although he is generally portraid as evil, most of that comes from his hatred of his adopted brother Thor. Otherwise, he has been known to fight alongside Asgardians against a common foe. He will make an excellent teamate as long as the team's goals fits his own.

[QUOTE]Loki is a member of the race of Frost Giants of Jotunheim, although not a giant in stature. He possesses physical attributes equal to those of the race of superbeings known as Asgardians, such as enhanced strength; stamina (his Frost Giant metabolism grants him superhuman levels of physical stamina in practically all activities); durability (at times he imbues himself with magical abilities that enable him to withstand injuries that would prove fatal to another Asgardian, such as being beheaded) and immunity to all known diseases and toxins.

Loki has extensive [B]training in the rites of black magic, and possesses the ability to manipulate great quantities of magical forces for a variety of purposes: energy projection, creation of force fields, temporarily increasing his own physical strength, grant superhuman abilities to living beings or inanimate objects, flight, hypnotism, illusion casting, and inter-dimensional teleportation[/B]. Apparently, Loki possesses some extrasensory abilities and is capable of astral projection and casting his thoughts across great distances, even across dimensional barriers. However, he cannot read the minds of other beings, though [B]he can control their actions[/B]. [B]He has been referred to as a master of magic with power exceeding Earth's Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange[/B], armed with millennia of magical knowledge compared to Strange's decade.[27] Loki is also an adept shape-shifter with the ability to change both form (examples include transmogrification to a salmon, horse, etc.) and person, framing some heroes including Thor and Captain America. His shape-shifting ability does not necessarily include all the powers of other superhumans.

Loki is extremely difficult to harm or be killed. It is unknown how much of this is natural and how much stems from magical enhancement. [B]He has proven resistant to the Controller's controller disk, immune to the mental influence of Voice, and immune to the power sapping abilities of Rogue. He has been able to break free of a Celestial device in the possession of Apocalypse. He was also totally unaffected from having his head severed, quickly reattaching it with no ill effects[/B] (though this was due to Thor using the Odinpower and the magic of the Runes).

Aside from his mystical abilities, Loki possesses a brilliant intellect. However, his passionate hatred of Thor, lust for power, and tendency to alienate others by his ignoble actions greatly impeded his ability to bring his well-laid plans to fruition. He is an expert manipulator and schemer.

Loki is sometimes armed with a sword and has made use of various magic items.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Powers
Loki possesses the normal strength of an Asgardian male of his age, height, and build. He can lift (press) about 30 tons.

Loki possesses the conventional attributes of an Asgardian, as well as certain innate magical powers. Like all Asgardians, Loki is extremely long-lived (though not immortal like the Olympians), superhumanly strong, immune to all diseases, and resistant to conventional injury. (Asgardian flesh and bone is about 3 times denser than similar human tissue, contributing to the Asgardian's superhuman strength and weight.) His Asgardian metabolism gives him superhuman endurance in all physical activities.

Besides these physical abilities, Loki possesses a host of magical skills. Among these is his ability to transform his shape at will into those of other creatures. He has become such animals as a snake, eagle, mouse, and bee, gaining the basic natural abilities inherent in each form. While he can take on the likeness of another god, giant, or human, he will not necessarily gain the special physical or mental powers of the being he imitates. Loki can also transform external objects into other forms and substances by magic; for instance, he can turn clouds into dragons. He can also bring inanimate objects to life, or mystically imbue objects or beings with specific but temporary powers. He has, for example, augmented the might of such human criminals as the Cobra and Sandu. These magical effects remain only for as long as he maintains the spell that created them.

Loki can project highly powerful concussive bolts of mystical energy. He can also create magical energy fields, which serve various purposes. With great concentration, Loki can create a field of sufficient resilience to repel Thor's enchanted hammer (though repeated blows would undoubtedly penetrate it) or physical objects such as large caliber projectiles. He can also surround objects in mystical energy to levitate them. He once lifted and supported an entire building off the ground for several minutes. He can also mystically levitate himself and thereby fly at great speed. As with his influence over matter, his magical energy feats only last as long as he maintains them.

Loki also has a number of mental and extrasensory powers, which are analogous to psionic abilities. He can broadcast his thoughts into other minds as well as plant compelling hypnotic suggestions. These telepathic abilities do not appear to be limited by distance: Loki can even cast his thoughts across dimensions. Loki cannot, however, perceive the thoughts of others. He does have certain extrasensory powers of perception, however, enabling him to see and hear events in distant places simultaneous to their occurrence. He can also mentally project an image of himself, in a manner not unlike astral projection, through which he can communicate with beings in other places.

Loki can also magically create rifts between dimensions, allowing him or other objects passage from one universe to another. Most often this rift is between Asgard and Earth.

Loki also has a vast knowledge of spells, which he can use for many magical effects. Loki has used his magic to enable him to endure injuries with little or no effect which would kill another Asgardian. He has even been beheaded, and yet he continued to live, magically reattached his head to his body, and was in the same condition as he was in before the beheading.

Abilities
Unrevealed

Weapons
Loki occasionally employs certain magical power objects, such as the Norn Stones or rare Asgardian herbs, to augment his own magical powers. These objects or substances are generally used to enhance his immediate personal strength or abilities, or to create a permanent magical transformation, such as that which gave the Absorbing Man his power. He once used the mystical sword of Surtur along with various equipment to transform Thor into a frog while Loki was in Asgard and Thor on Earth. The destruction of the engine drawing power from the sword caused Thor to return to his normal form. [/QUOTE]

Thanos

[IMG]http://www.corvusonline.net/thanos/ThanosThrone.JPG[/IMG]

[QUOTE]Thanos is a mutant member of the race of superhumans known as the Eternals, and [B]possesses a wide range of abilities[/B], some of which are common to the Titanian Eternals, and others of which have been acquired through bionic amplification, mysticism, and augmentation by Death itself. [B]In addition to superior levels of superhuman strength, stamina, and particularly durability, Thanos has shown himself able to tap, transform, and direct enormous quantities of cosmic energy, and to use it to shield himself. [/B]The [B]Titanian is also capable of matter manipulation, telekinesis, and resistance to powerful telepathic assaults. Thanos has demonstrated psionic abilities, including telepathy, the limits of which are as yet unknown. Thanos can also temporarily increase his powers by absorbing energy from an unknown source of quasi-mystical nature.[/B]

[B]Thanos possesses a superhuman intellect,[/B] originally dedicated to the annihilation of life and the mastery of any technology/mysticism which would enable him to achieve this goal. [B]He has vast knowledge of science, metaphysics, and the occult. He possesses technology that allows force field projection, [SIZE="5"]time travel[/SIZE], movement through alternate dimensions, and teleportation over interstellar distances[/B]. He has used a throne-like chair capable of teleportation and faster-than-light travel, and once used the starship Sanctuary II as a base of operations. Thanos also trained his adopted daughter Gamora to become one of the universe's most adept female assassins.

Thanos once gained possession of the Cosmic Cube, and used it for his own purposes. He later possessed the Infinity Gauntlet which incorporated six Infinity Gems, each one of which [B]granted him total mastery over six basic aspects of existence: Time, Space, Power, Mind, Reality, and Soul, making him virtually omnipotent[/B].[/QUOTE]


Just The perfect Beast I needed to give my team some toughness. He also once killed Silver Surfer. :eek:

[QUOTE]The Silver Surfer, long since Thanos' enemy, had come to believe that Death was seeking him out to be a new consort. The Surfer approached Thanos with this concern, but [B]Thanos flew into a rage, attacking the Surfer and killing him[/B]. Although he appeared to offer the Surfer's body as a sacrifice, Thanos returned the Surfer to life as an insult. Death retaliated by declaring Thanos to be immortal and thus forever denied entering her realm.[/QUOTE]

[B][CENTER]Amazo[/CENTER][/B]
[CENTER][IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t259/sliverorbit906/jul25-1816562006.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER]

[B]POWERS AND ABILITIES[/B]
Each version of Amazo has differences, but all utilize "absorption cells" to duplicate the powers of any metahuman encountered (not unlike Marvel's Super-Adaptoid). Originally, he could only use one power at a time and has duplicated Superman's strength, The Flash's speed, Green Lantern's power ring, and Wonder Woman's magic lasso among others, but also inherited the heroes' weaknesses in early appearances. In most cases, Amazo possesses a 'default' form consisting of the powers of the first five (post-Crisis) JLA members, capable of adapting to incorporate other powers. Amazo also appears to be able to copy physical objects as well, including Green Lantern's power ring, Wonder Woman's lasso, Hawkgirl's mace, and Batman's batarangs. In Justice League of America #23, Amazo shows the ability to copy Zatanna's ability to cast magic using reverse speech.

In the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Return", Amazo returns to Earth, having learned all that is offered from the universe. He plows through the entirety of all the Justice League members, even effortlessly pushing through Superman. Amazo displayed unequaled speed and strength and was able to shrink his body to the nanoscopic scale. He also was able to transport the planet Oa into a different dimension. Despite this, his powers are shown to have their limits, since he was unable to do anything to stop an empowered form of Solomon Grundy in a later episode (Grundy was absorbing all of Amazo's powers).
