Ultimate Team War - High Altitude

This is the final round, so I would like to remind everybody of Rules #12 and #13.CHARACTER VALIDITYMaikuru's claim about gravitons does not actually support their existence; the section he cites only says that there are some problems with the mathematical equations that actually involve gravitons. This can't be evidence in favor of gravitons. While String Theory may use gravitons, it "has yet to make testable experimental predictions" [1], which greatly decreases its scientific importance. It is hardly as accepted as my opponent claims, with many valid criticisms [2]. The graviton's existence is quite simply not scientific.Last round, I pointed out the problems that would occur if the Skrulls' signal-emitting device was used without a planet to direct it. My opponent's response is that the device is on the Skrulls' home planet. However, that planet is in a separate fictional universe, and can't be brought to the fight unless by a character. It is only allowed if it is classified as a part of Super Skrull's equipment; however, a planet is not a piece of equipment at all, so it is absent from this fight. Therefore, even if Super Skrull can "use" the signal, the signal will fail to reach him without his home planet present.Finally, regarding Mewtwo's video, it is important to note that while the Butterfree swarm may have been involved in the amnesia, there are no teleportation spores in Pokemon; teleportation requires a Psychic Pokemon, in this case Mewtwo. See in "Mewtwo Strikes Back" [3] where he erases Ash and co.'s memory and teleports them without the aid of any other Pokemon. He will have no trouble with teleporting away Team CON in this fight.COUNTER-ATTACKMy initial plan has not changed; my team will still set up as they planned. However, Mewtwo's setup (creating a bubble) is rather short, so he will immediately be able to execute his plan of teleportaiton.My opponent intends to use Peter Petrelli to take control of this fight, but I am sure that this will backfire. He first uses his intuitive aptitude, but this ability has a glaring weakness, as it gives him a hunger "to understand as much as possible" which is so strong that it once compelled him to try to slice his own mother's head open. A hunger so strong will doubtlessly override the absolute loyalty specified in Rule #8, as Peter's loyalty to his mother appears to be of no consequence. Anyone trying to stop Peter from pursuing this will interrupt his concentration on time, so that Mewtwo can teleport away all of Team CON.In this case, the curiousity will compel Peter to learn as much as he can about Spot's spots, and their link to an entirely separate other dimension. He will no doubt try to enter one of Spot's portals, intrigued by what the Spot dimension looks like and how its portals work, and in doing so, he will disqualify himself, leaving Spot far too little time to set up his portals accurately and at such a great distance.I also have reason to doubt that Peter's time manipulation is as powerful as my opponent claims it is. I could only find one mention of Peter stopping time, and when he did, he actually failed to stop somebody from shooting him, and time resumed its normal course [4]. The space-time manipulation page also suggests that not using a power constantly makes it weaker and less reliable, and as Peter has little experience with stopping time, he is very likely to mess up. There also appear to be no instances of anyone stopping time for any great distances, suggesting that perhaps there is a distance limit to the ability.My opponent claims that Peter can selectively not freeze some people in time, but his cited episode, "I am Sylar," has Peter doing practically nothing. If another person uses the ability, note that Peter, with less experience, would likely fail to execute this more advanced usage.Regarding Peter's telekinesis, if he ever tried to control Mewtwo, Mewtwo would counter with his own psychic powers, holding himself in place with psychic power that was able to levitate all of Mewtwo's clones (including a Gyarados and all of the evolved Kanto starters); Peter strength would be unable to compare. He does not need to be immune to psychic attacks to negate motion with motion, and Mew never actually attacked Mewtwo with telekinesis, only with physical force and a Shadow Ball.With Peter far less useful than claimed, Spot's attempts will fail. The cited "any degree" of Spot's control is merely an inference by a reader, and is not supported by evidence that details a pattern of never placing a portal even a few inches from a person suspended in air. Sure, Spot forced Spider-Man to crash into a wall, but how close the spot must be to the wall depends on how fast Spider-Man was going. If he was travelling at, say, 30 miles per hour, a spot a few feet away would easily result in a crash. The next example involved Spot placing spots on a wall, which is much simpler and easier than placing spots in mid-air, allowing for more accuracy. The same applies to the money bags. I never saw Spot place a portal a few inches away from Spider-Man, perhaps a foot at the closest.Of course, there has to have been some limitation on Spot's ability to place portals, or else he could have rescued his friend when she was held hostage by placing a portal directly beneath her feet. We can only assume that he didn't do this because he couldn't.Again, if Spot could place portals inches away, he would, as this would give his melee attacks more power and more surprise.Regarding my specific criticism of the Spot, he actually said, separately from the fact that the portal was too large, that the portal was too far away; even if it were a normal spot, we can infer from this statement that he would be unable to close it. While the distance may not be replicated in this debate, an established distance limit casts serious doubt on his ability to create portals over 350 meters away.My opponent references an instance in which Spot controls a portal from very far away, but fails to point out when he does so in the video, a detail that would be very helpful in actually understanding what he's talking about. As for the slowed-down time, I already discussed why Peter isn't quite so powerful, and why he'll eliminate himself anyway.Now, even if Spot succeeds in surrounding my team with spots, one of my team members, Mewtwo, will never actually enter one of the spots, as he will hold himself in place with his psychic powers. As Team CON's only plans for eliminating anybody rely on the spots, Mewtwo's self-suspension makes him effectively immune and unable to be defeated. He can then teleport himself away from the portals and concentrate his psychic powers to banish Team CON away from the battlefield, disqualified, or use them as puppets and crash them to the ground if the previous method proves ineffective.Meanwhile, the rest of Team PRO executes their plans as stated earlier, taking out anybody that Mewtwo does not, although they are admittedly more fragile and prone to the spots.My opponent's claim that Spot can handle my team alone is blatantly false, as Spot has never demonstrated the ability to place multiple portals at such a great distance with such accuracy in such a short time, and to assume he can do so would be to vastly overstate his abilities.Thank you, Maikuru, for this Ultimate Team War debate. It was been a true challenge.
