Besides being your dream girl...who is this? Dayum!

Honestly, due to the cocktail served (which includes midazolam and hydromorphone), he most likely did not feel anything. The gasping of air was the body itself slowly shutting down, but he himself was probably comatose. I am sure it was somewhat horrific to watch, but the chances that he was feeling any pain, are very slim. I once transported someone to the ER who had lost a good chunk of their brain, but the body had yet to fully shut down, and they gasped and snorted for air all the way to the ER, where they were pronounced. Sometimes the body just refuses to shut down, even after the brain has done so.

Also considering that if he were gasping and snorting, his body was probably not getting the full amount of oxygen it needed, and the brain was most likely hypoxic long, long before the two hour period (it really doesn't take that long for the brain to become hypoxic), so on the off chance that he did suffer, it probably wasn't for long. It may not be much consolation to those who oppose such things, but there it is.

As for the rest, I'll stay out of the discussion, as these issues tend to get fairly heated.

Original Mirage Turtles are no joke. They are probably a bigger threat than most would realize. Current turtles are getting better. Their speed and stealth allowed them to take out a group of thugs on an open street without being seen once by anybody. They get more impressive each issue, are casual bullet timers, low level superhuman, and have impeccable team work.

Storm Shadow and Snake Eye's, from all accounts, should be playing fairly near the superhuman range themselves, but in the least are capable bullet timers, so reacting to speedy attacks should not be an issue.

Then we have the Crow...from everything I have seen, unless the Marvel team figures out they need to kill the actual crow...then team Marvel is not putting him down.

As for who wins...not sure yet...but it is pretty close and good fight.

Good lord that was a ton of characters. @veitha has highly impressed me in two CaVs now, and that is who will get my vote. I thought veitha had the slightly superior team setup, and tactics, and showed an awesome level of knowledge. Good work!

@highaccuser get's my vote. You had good use of scans, and good counters to his strategies. Basically your argument sold me a little more than his.

For now, I want to say team Image, though, I keep hearing that this Archer character is no pushover...

@highaccuser: Give me until tomorrow my friend.

One of these lifetimes, I am going to work on my Velocity scans...but yeah, I'll take Velocity. She can throw a mach 5 punch without breaking her hand.

@god_spawn: For my part my friend, consider the matter squashed. I am more than willing to drop it and leave it be.

I can say I have wanted to bring Vampirella into a CaV, which would be in the mid range. If we go higher, I can see what I have on a few Chaos characters.
