Ultimate Team War: Super Thunderdome

Nearly forfeited this I'm so tired. Sorry if it's poorly written or nonsensical. Anyway, some interesting things to consider here, but I’m feeling confident. COUNTERSThe ICEMAN versus CLOAK/BAT-GREMLIN PROBLEM-Iceman arrives at the lake approximately the same time as Bat-Gremlin and Cloak, as Gate works instantaneously. [1] He immediately begins freezing the lake. -Cloak begins his attack; obviously the ‘numbing cold’ will have no effect on Iceman, but the fear is a problem. Therefore, I have to improvise.Rather than teleport the group to meet with my opponent team, Irenicus prepares a number of anti-fear spells (Remove Fear, Calm Emotions, Consecrate, Remove Curse, Death Ward) and Gates himself almost on top of Iceman, releases the spells and pops back into the Gate.-Iceman should be sufficiently protected against ‘fear’ effects and now that Cloak is harmless to him, he continues to freeze the lake. If Cloak makes himself tangible, Iceman will simply encase him in a block of ice. Any Gremlins who escape the quickly freezing lake are pursued by Iceman once he has frozen the lake.Now the plan goes back on track, almost as intended.IRENICUS versus XYKON-Irenicus, Kratos, Ironman and Luke arrive at the battle site, invisible with Irenicus protected temporarily by the spells he cast at the beginning of the battle (I could have cast them on everyone but in the spirit of fairness, I didn’t)-Irenicus begins to battle Xykon. Fortunately, a spell called “Earthbind” [2] exists, which should at least give Xykon some difficulty flying. Irenicus is equally capable of casting Meteor Swarm and a myriad of similarly powered destructive spells. However, since I specified that Irenicus would cast protective magic over himself and Xykon didn’t, I think Irenicus would be most successful.NOTE: Magic is magic my friend. The reason to put a magical character in is that magic can be manipulated in such a variety of ways, within the realm of the chosen characters. I accept that Xykon can cast any spell within his power that you can possible find and that he could logically perform (so DnD is fine (I think :/), but Harry Potter canon is not), just as Irenicus can.LUKE versus SYLAR-The source my opponent provided on Melting says “Based on known demonstrations, the range of the ability is very short.” When Sylar is in range of Luke, Luke unleashes his most powerful Force Lightning.KRATOS versus T-X-As the T-X hammers Kratos with its Plasma Cannon, the Spartan used the Golden Fleece [3] to deflect it back at her, keeping his distance. The T-X no doubt is surprised (as surprised as a machine can be anyway) by the deflected Plasma and must block or dodge, interrupting her barrage of shots.-While the T-X is distracted, Kratos pulls out the Head of Helios, and attempts to use it to blind the T-X, dodging and weaving as he closes the distance. Since we know from the films that the Terminators a very much reliant on their sight and see in infrared, it’s no stretch of the imagination to see this tactic working. Seeing the EMT as a threat, Kratos switches to his Blades of Exile and proceeds to viciously attack the T-X, dodging and weaving as he does, building up (hopefully) for a “Rage of Sparta” burst. The T-X is extremely fast and strong, so Kratos uses the distance that the Blades of Exile chains give him to his advantage. One major problem will be if the T-X manages to seize on of the Blades, since they’re essentially grafted to Kratos’s arms. If this happens, Kratos will use “Soul Summon” and have the souls attack the T-X, trying to release Kratos. Hopefully we can agree that Ironman would arrive before that happens.NOTE: All these weapons and abilities are listed on Kratos’s second source.
