@Dane said:
Those are his words not mine. He said as long as someone like the Punisher could reasonably obtain it you can add it for free." Though I will mention again conventional weapons don't count as your special equipment. K4tzm4n can have an m16 with mods or any other conventional weapons for free. Those aren't unique and don't count against him. "
@Sloth, I wanted Underworld's guns for myself. You should probably give Fresh Prince better equipment because the cards he can get for free. I would suggest armor or mobility enhancement .
In the OP, it says that you can use any equipment a street leveler may reasonably acquire so guns and cards would fall into that range. Go back an read the OP again if you want but those are Dane's rules.

Also, I don't think you have to limit the 'powers' to just one specific power. Dane's OP says each person gets a character's power set. I believe that means that you should be able to have all of Archangel's powers (not just the healing factor), I should have all of Toad's powers (not just jumping), and so on.
" @geraldthesloth:Oh really? I should actually read those damned huge paragraphs..

I know what you mean. Even when I do try to read all the way through, it's still easy to overlook important details.
Also, just thought I'd mention, having each character's entire power set brings up the issue of whether or not Angel is allowed. The computer I'm at won't let me go back to re-read the OP, but I believe the OP says no flyers. I think having Angel's entire power set would disqualify him. I guess you could spedify that his healing factor is the only power of his that you will take, but that would leave you significantly below everybody else for power.
Myself: Powers: Northstars set
Skills: Captain Americas fighting skills and tactical knowledge
Item:Black Panther's Vibranium weave suit.
AngelFrost :Powers: Emma Frosts set
Skills: Clint Bartons weapons training/skills
Item: Deadpools teleport rig " if thats ok since original wasnt future tech"
CatmanEXE :Powers: Hulks set
Skills: Banners IQ
Item: WWH armour " Does this count as alien tech"
PowerNexus: Powers: Captain Britains set
Skills: Batman's martial arts mastery
Item: Standard Bat belt gear
TheSavageAssasin: Powers: dakens set
Skills: Caps shield skills
Item: Caps Shield
This ok ?

Good thinking.
BTW, mad props for giving me Toad's powers!
It says nothing about flight restrictions just that if they can feasibly beat Spider-Man. Angel couldn't reasonably take down Spider-Man, unless he went Archangel. I have at least 1 person capable of flight on my team alone and others have the Goblin Glider so flight shouldn't be a problem.
Hulk, Captain Britain, Emma, and Northstar are definitely out. I would suggest Angel for Northstar as he also comes with a healing factor, superhuman sight, and can carry people without a problem. Mr. X or Prodigy or maybe Ravager would be a good replacement for Emma Frost unless you are looking for her Diamond Form powers which would likely go against the rules. Maybe replace Hulk with Ultimate Captain America.

I wouldn't bother trying to correct lazystudent. It's obvious he didn't read the OP at all.

" @geraldthesloth: Totally accepted. Though you could give people all of a character's powers. Like Fresh Prince can have Gambit's enhanced agility and give me all of Spidey's powers etc. "Is post-other allowed?
" @Dane said:Nope, standard Spidey/Ultimate Captain America are about the upper limits of physical attributes." @geraldthesloth: Totally accepted.

" @Dane: No gambit death powers right? "Nah, standard Gambit should pack enough punch.
To all, I had an idea that if myself/someone else makes a similar thread we could also offer a number of magical battle standards as option for the special item. That is to say, for a character, instead of choosing a single item to benefit them, they could carry in a Battle Standard of Bloodlust to rally the team and remove any inhibitions or hesitation from your team. Or a Battle Standard of Regeneration, which could grant a moderate healing factor to anyone who stands within close proximity to the carrier etc. It'd basically take the place of team addons from build a battle threads but require you to trade in a personal item to make a member into a 'team player'. I would, however, limit it to one standard per team.
What do you guys think?

That sounds cool
"No Daken Pheromones? I will have to rethink Ferro Vida then, when do we start? "
OP says he will tell us the scenario after 2-3 days.
" Does anyone have that clue figured out? lol "I will post another today and post the solution to both when the army is announced. I assure you they aren't remotely easy.
@DedmanWalkin said:
" No Daken Pheromones? I will have to rethink Ferro Vida then, when do we start? "
The Army will be posted in 24-38 hours time. Team selection will be closed at that point.
Just swap out Daken's powers with Anole's powers. He has Regeneration, Wall Crawling, Prehensile Tongue, Active Camouflage, and Lizard Scales as well as enhanced speed, strength, and agility.
" @Dane: I know it isn't easy....I freaking tried to figure it out. Do the clues work together or are they seperate>? "You can determine the kind of Army you'll be facing from either clue individually.
@k4tzm4n said:
" What clue? "
I posted a clue yesterday, it's copied into the OP. I will post another today. If you solve or think you've solved either you may change your team accordingly.
"
Alright...I'll give this a shot, then. If anything isn't cool, just let me know.
k4tzm4n:
Spider-Man's physical attributes, Darth Maul's skill with a saber, Darth Maul's lightsaber.
Why? Spider-Man's physically attributes will grant me the speed, reflexes, and agility I'll require to effectively use the weapon against multiple foes. Plus, me sporting long range isn't required since I have quite a few who pack a hefty punch at range.Andferne:
Cyclops' optic blast, Taskmaster's ability, Captain America's shield
Why? He's displayed the fact he already has martial arts knowledge and is a huge fan of Cyclops' ability. He also seems like an honorable man and someone I could trust to have anyones back in this scenario. Now he'll be able to master the optic blast, as well as be a skilled powerhouse in close combat, given he'll use Taskmaster's ability to soak in as many martial arts skills as possible, and even how to master use of the shield. Without needing to be said, his optic blast will help trim enemy forces before close combat.Morpheus_: Nightcrawler's teleportation, Daken's fighting technique, Taskmaster's SHIELD weapon (claws, webbing, shield)
Why? Personally, I don't see Morph as being one that would want to get up close and personal in a bout, but instead be able to one-shot his foes. Unfortunately, I have a feeling we're going against a massive army, so close combat will occur. Given this power set,Morph can bamf around possibly one shotting or incapacitating them with "bamf slices" or even incapacitating foes with webbing. In case of danger, he has Daken's skill which allows him to easily hold his own in hand-to-hand, as well as vanish (WITHOUT even teleporting). The shield will also provide great offensive and defensive capablilities. As to why I picked him. He's one of the most logical and kind people on the vine. I have a feeling he'd not only do well, but also bamf people out of danger.Lunacyde:
moderate level use of the force (push/pull/choke)...let me know if this isn't allowed), Snake Eye's fighting abilities, Snake Eye's armor and weaponry.
Why? Luna is easily one of my best friends on the Vine and someone I know I can trust just as well as the others. It's no secret he's a big fan of elves and GI Joe...So, I figured why not appeal to his desires, and just TURN him into Snake Eyes, but also give him the force =) He'll be an absolute beast in close combat, slicing, shooting and blowing up enemies before they even know what hit them...and when they do try to swarm him, force push will serve him extremely well.
Geraldthesloth:
Daredevil's radar (technically a power, yes?), Bullseye's perfect aim, Hawkeye's bow/trick arrows
Why? Sloth has displayed a love for archers and why not fullfiul his joy? I trust he'll take the training more than seriously to perfect this skill, because he will be more than critical. Granting him the radar will allow him to double as our radar, as well as greatly aid his own offensive capabilities. He'll easily trim the forces from a distance, as well provide as another last resort savior (if Morph can't bamf someone out). Considering his radar allows him to keep track of all of us, if he sees someone is in danger, he can help take out threats surrounding the teammate. "
^Updated. Thoughts?
I see no reason to change my team at all. I feel I have a solid assortment of abilities and positions in my army that would serve well in combat.
Question: Does our team have a com link during the battle?
Question #2!: Can you review my team to make sure everything is okay?

Question: Does our team have a com link during the battle? Question #2!: Can you review my team to make sure everything is okay? "1. This is probably something I should have mentioned and I had thought about. Seeing as how they have access to reasonable military tech let's assume they all have a wireless earpiece/microphone setup for radio communication.
2. Posted above you regarding force powers.
"@k4tzm4n: For Luna, TP/TK is out. Using the force in that way would be very TK-like. He could use the force to bolster his physical attributes. Force speed only in bursts etc. Keeping in mind he has just one month to learn to use his force powers too. Otherwise it seems ok. "
Mother f***er! lol.
Updated for Luna.
Wolverine's healing factor, Snake Eye's fighting abilities, Snake Eye's armor and weaponry.
Why? Luna is easily one of my best friends on the Vine and someone I know I can trust just as well as the others. It's no secret he's a big fan of elves and GI Joe...So, I figured why not appeal to his desires, and just TURN him into Snake Eyes, but also give him a healing factor, so he can stay in the game despite injuries and sport a VERY enhanced endurance. He'll be an absolute beast in close combat, slicing, shooting and blowing up enemies before they even know what hit them.
