L_M Classic (UTW Tournament) Grand Finale. Feverish V Puck

Congratulations to Feverish on making the final (finally)! A job well done. Feverish has already posted the links to the debate rules and format, so let's begin. As rightly stated, my team is unchanged from its inception. Characters: Deadpool: http://www.comicvine.com... Sage:http://www.comicvine.com... Spiral: http://www.comicvine.com... Engineer: http://www.comicvine.com... Mr Sinister: http://www.comicvine.com... == A1. Sentry. Sentry is an interesting character. Feverish states the ‘million suns' line as a basis for his power level however there are several issues with this. Firstly it is a singularly undocumented power level apart from those who talk about it i.e. it exists in Marvel Universe as word of mouth only. Sentry's powers are from the sun, yes, (he psionically absorbs if stable) - his power as Feverish lists is highly questionable however. It appears to be an artifact of speech much like "man of steel" is for Superman. What evidence is there for this? As noted such power has never been shown - Marvel themselves don't appear to agree with this power level either. Official Marvel stats below. Note energy power is slightly above average (3 - for a frame of reference, Cyclops is 7). http://img408.imageshack.us... The burden is upon Feverish to show he is indeed capable of such power at the start of the battle. If he wishes to destroy Sentry, by all means it is welcome. I'll argue defeating Sentry based upon Feverish's arguments next round, if applicable. A2. Catch me if you can. Feverish's opening argument relies upon my team being static upon Sentry's arrival, static since the start of the battle. Not the case. Upon the start of the battle, Spiral teleports the team to a sealed location within the city. Sinister throws up force fields congruent to the start of the battle, Engineer goes defensive. Team are gone by the time Sentry can even arrive. Feverish thinks Sentry can both find and engage my team before I can act. I again disagree. Spiral's teleport ability has been shown to be instant. At the start of the battle they are gone. http://img707.imageshack.us... B1. Let the real games begin. Upon the new location, Engineer grants each member with nanite skin. http://img341.imageshack.us... Begins clone production. Uses plans from Sinister to construct a Cerebro. http://marvel.wikia.com...(Mutant_Detector) http://img84.imageshack.us... Spiral upon arrival shields the team. They are unable to be found. http://img180.imageshack.us... Spiral teleports out both clones and nanite swarms - nanites being molecule sized machines. Clones activate defences. A teleport sees Deadpool appear on a rooftop, Sage's rail rifle at the ready. http://img171.imageshack.us... More nanites and clones go out, forming weapons platforms that patrol the upper limit of sky. Sinister enters the psychic plane. Granting him supreme ability over the physical and mental, additionally boosted by the power of Cerebro. Sage goes defensive. B2. First contact. Some of Engineer's clones seek out Monkey. Clone wars! Unfortunately for Feverish, Monkey's clones disappear if hit. [1] Engineer's clones have activated two abilities: http://img412.imageshack.us... http://img534.imageshack.us... Monkey's clones will disappear before being able to strike, leaving only the King himself. Additionally Monkey will not use his hairs if threatened by fire. [1] Clones use long range explosives, flame throwers etc., while closing in. http://img59.imageshack.us... If Monkey attempts to evade he simply runs the risk of encountering any number of molecular nanite swarms flooding the battle arena and the same effect will be had as when a clone actually gains contact, or Monkey attempts to fight. Namely, nanites will swarm over Monkey himself, covering his body, denying him use of his hairs. In addition covering his mouth denying him use of his verbal component for magic. [1] Monkey has also been stopped by severing his lute bone (larynx) which the nanites promptly do. [1] Spiral teleports Monkey to one of the waiting weapons platforms that promptly elevate him out of the height limit for the battle. B3. Sinister engages Spawn. Spawn has a susceptibility to certain metal attacks of which Sinister is able to emulate. http://img62.imageshack.us... http://img718.imageshack.us... http://img85.imageshack.us... http://img341.imageshack.us... Sinister systematically destroys Spawn's memories, his mind, making him a shell for which Sinister can ply his, well, sinister trade. Spawn is remade, simply and quickly shifting outside the battle arena at Sinister's command. Should this fail, Sinister resorts to more crude methods, using the advantages of the psychic plane to rip his head off. B4. Mopping up the street. Feverish hopes to gain advantages through the use of his street levellers' spacecraft. Once again I will have to disappoint him. Engineer is the bane of opposing technology and puts her abilities to good use. Upon the first appearance of either ship they are made quickly redundant. http://img697.imageshack.us... http://img708.imageshack.us... Contact with the ships will additionally see them stripped of all metal components. http://img823.imageshack.us... Predator and Fett are taken out by any number of the weapon platforms, clones, nanite swarms, Deadpool shooting, Sinister mind destruction/commands to sleep... [1] Monkey. Wu Ch'eng-en.
