    Still the weekend somewhere I take it? Yuck.

    I was hoping to make my next two picks before my few day afk but that is looking slim. Starting tonight/tomorrow I may not be around much for a few days. I have two days of finals and helping my roommate move out and stuff so I am gonna PM my list to Despised sometime later today and put him in charge of my picks.

    Technically I could bump you, but I am not going to even consider it at the moment...for the sake of moving forward I will allow the pick.

    EF you are up. [face_peace]

    I believe you knew this was coming.

































    Which is why I really take Anole/Pixie.

    So did I. I'm not going to challenge it, but I do wish Wasp had been labeled somehow to make it clear that Hank was an option instead of Janet.

    He's not an option. He had his own name on the original list, and is therefore a separate entity. Considering we are using the same list, Hank has already been taken.

    He took Anole/Pixie.


    Wait, you thought the most precise porter this side of Illyana and the awkwardly armored reptile kid were the joke picks?

    Honestly, I thought he'd been bumped again and had two in a row. I read that as both picks. :p

    I'm sorry Bassil. I don't get your nerdy fan boy jokes, I don't even know what your post meant. Please forgive me, I like to play outside.


    Also I am upset I didn't get to take Sentinel, I was looking to close out my team with one. Looking at this list they are actually a decent pick. So who is up?

    Is scorpion Scor-venom or whatever. And is Venom Anti Venom. Or is scorpion classic scorpion and venom classic venom. This change has happened a while ago I might add.

    Anti-Venom is too powerful for this list.

    I read a comic featuring him, and I was immediately knocked out by the stench of odious nonsense from the pages.

    It wasn't really a joke. I was describing the two characters he actually chose. Y'know, the 2nd best long range teleporter on the X-Men (Pixie), and the reptile kid (Anole). That's who they are. It was just a description.

    I would say that Scorpion is just classic scorpion, but Venom could be either Brock or Gargan.

    I am open to discussion though, if there is a good reason to do otherwise I am willing to modify that.

    In that same vein, why can't Scorpion be Carmilla Black? She's the most recent person running around with that name while Gargan is busy being Venom.

    Well if Gargan is venom, that means that Venom is the scorpion venom. If Brock is Venom, he's anti-venom. Anti-venom fits with my team better, that's who I want to draft. Since Scorpion is on the list, I assume Scorpion is Gargan. If gargan is venom, then Scorpion could be the venom version of Gargan. Anyway, this is ultra confusing, but can venom be anti-venom?

    And anti-venom is not too powerful for this list. This is the reject list anyway. I doubt Anti-venom is beating anyone on my team...

    Ok, lets try this then.

    Scorpion incarnations allowed: Carmilla Black & Mac Gargan
    Venom incarnations allowed: Gargan and Brock

    I am a bit leary about having Anti-Venom, not because I think he is that powerful....more so because we have Venom on our list...not Anti-Venom. If we had Eddie Brock on the list I would say pick what ever version of him you want, but he isn't there.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Again, absolutely open to discussion on this. Feel free to give input, if a good reason to allow Anti-Venom is made I will let it happen.

    I still contend that Anti-Venom is a different version of Venom. The character, Venom, Eddie Brock, is now Anti-Venom. Anti-Venom is no stronger than Gargan Venom who can lift 40-60 tons. This all happend spring 08 too. Venom as we all know him is Anti-Venom now. This is like if we had Angel on the list. Archangel is Angel, even if someone took the mantle of Angel, Warren Worthington III is who Angel is. Not allowing Anti-Venom is a little steep imo. Also, Gargan Venom is better than Brock Venom, unless fighting spiderman because of the hatred thing. Gargan Venom is faster strong and just better than Brock Venom. Basically, we could have Gargan Venom and Gargan Scorpion being drafted, even on the same team. I know I would draft Gargan Venom over Brock Venom. Not allowing Anti-Venom as Venom is almost cutting out Brock, who is the original Venom anyway.

    No... Adding Anti-Venom is not removing Brock. It's adding Anti-Venom. Brock is the better Venom anyway. Get Brock and keep it movin.

    Brock really isn't the better Venom. That's your opinion. Gargan Venom is much stronger. The only way Brock could beat Gargan Venom is with the new strength of Anti-Venom. Besides... Anti-Venom is not nearly as strong as a lot of people on this list. Just because you don't like a character doesn't mean that he isn't as good.
