beat my team with people under pre-retconned Molecule-man level.

1) Mr. Fantastic
2) Dr. Doom
3) Batman one million

My team has a year of prep, but yours doesn't.
only use 3 people.

actually, I think DS would be a non-factor here, considering rechard or doom managed to beat galactus, and that regular batman allready beat DS using his weakness.

Battle threads are fun, but the whole idea of "prep-time" is grating.

What is "prep-time" mean, anyway? In the context of Versus-threads it means "The writer would think of a clever way for the weaker character to win, but I can't, so instead of coming up with a cool scenario I'll just say 'prep-time' ".

True, prep time can be considered a sort of Deus Ex Machina and cop out on the writer's part. However there are some instances of intriguing and clever uses of prep time. Personally I was a huge fan of DOOMWAR and I thought that Dr. Doom and Black Panther both used prep time in plausible and entertaining ways. But things like Doom siphoning off the Beyonder's power and Deathstroke beating the justice league gets kind of ridiculous.

I hate prep in battle, but Thanos is the best one. He was almost equal to TOAA thanks to prep (HOTU).

Yeah, sure there are in the actual stories, just not in Versus-threads.

It's one thing to say, "Batman would beat Superman because Batman has a kryptonite ring", but instead of saying that, it's usually, "Batman beats Superman with prep".

It doesn't mean anything.

So this isn't actually a prep battle between prep masters?

I doubt it. None of them gets prep, apparently.
