saved for later.

[~primetime~]

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

Charles Xavier



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!!!

[vapid]

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



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 leader and a loner/wild card 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 paranoia and detective skills. 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 master combat artist, probably the best man for espionage in the DC universe, is extremely skilled at technology and science, and has the Wayne money and resources 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


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.

[wTFaMonkey]

Superman

[The Magic Man]

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



Dr. Victor von Doom

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. - Wiki

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

[crounsa810]

Edit: Sorry.

[pete's montreux]

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:



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

[globarticles]

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

[DreamShake34]

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

[rezznor]

Ranked #1 Comic Villian Of All Time (VOAT?)

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.

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.

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 creation of force-fields which selectively block out matter and energy (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, Magneto is invulnerable to most harm when his personal field is active and can survive in deep space.

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 levels.

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 warp the space/time continuum and create a wormhole to safely teleport himself and others; 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 genius 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 master strategist with extensive combat experience 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.

[~primetime~]

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

Tony Stark



Armor
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
