As far as the line-up goes, as I said before Meglaro might be too powerful for this game, since most battles with him are pretty much going to go "Meglaro takes over everyone's mind on the field" until he runs into someone like Computo (who I have no idea if he could control).
We also have a whole bunch of fire/heat themed characters, who we could probably replace to get some variety.

I have been looking at the list, and perhaps we can replace Meglaro with Charma. Would everyone else be willing to support this?
Has Mano actually been shown on-panel destroying a world with his hand?

^^It's part of his origin, both in the original recipe and in the reboot. It's not something he can do regularly, however. He has to rest for quite awhile to let his power build up.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Yeah, he did only do it the one time, and it's entirely possible that it took him weeks, months or even years to build up to that level.

I'm all for taking out the more powerful members (Meglaro, Ol-Vir, Emerald Empress, etc) and replacing them with the more interestingly powered "weaker" members (Charma, Grimbor, Ron-Karr, etc).
It's much more interesting writing/reading a battle between characters who have to creatively fight their way to a win, rather than just blast away all of their opponents with their superior powers.

I think we have enough characters who could take out the Empress (Cosmic King and Starfinger can both exploit the Eye's vulnerability to kryptonite; Blackout Boy might be able to temporarily blind it; Nemesis Kid could adapt something like Ferro Lad's power, ala Superboy's Legion) that I'm okay with leaving her in, but I'd be happy to get rid of some of the duplicate power-classes in favor of a more interesting variety of powers.
I'd definitely like to see some folks like Ze Tongue or Canary in the game.

I agree re: duplicates. Besides the fire/heat, let's take out some of the super-strength characters too? I'm thinking the likes of Sun Woman and Rogarth.
Re Empress, if Polar Boy was able to put the Eye out of commission for a while by freezing it, then I think EE is not too powerful for this game.
Agree re quirky/unique villains like Ze Tongue, Charma, Quicksand. They'll add a lot of flavor, like Evisceratronic does
Maybe we can take out some of the ones with less personality, like the Murran spies (Size Lad, Blackout Boy, Magnetic Kid).

The Murrans have interesting powers, so I vote to keep them. But definitely agreed about the super-strong characters.

I have decided that we should start the LSV Tournament next Friday. This gives us plenty of time to prepare for it, but also not enough time that we will forget about it.

I suggest we replace the ff. villains because of their duplicate powers and lack of interesting personalities:
1) Chameleon Kid 2) Sun Woman 3) Rogarth 4) Sunburst 5) at least two of the ff: Beauty Blaze/ Sun Emperor / Flare/ Dr. Regulus (personally I prefer keeping Flare and the Doc) 6) Quanto (arguable since we already have Lazon, but Quanto is more powerful) 7) Echo (only bec. we also included him in the heroes tourney) 8) one of Tyr/Black Mace/Hunter 9) POSSIBLY one of Mystelor/Esper Lass/Saturn Queen (Mystelor has more powers, but I found Esp and SQ more interesting. Two telepaths isn't too many.)
Suggested replacements:
1) Ze Tongue (long, shapeshifting tongue) 2) Cherry Bomb (can explode but needs to recharge) 3) Quicksand (can turn liquids into solids and vice versa) 4) Holdur (powerful grip) 5) Twine (has a whip that drains energy) 6) Brainstorm (telekinetic who animates plastic puppets and has an enormous mean streak) 7) Abyss (can send people into a cold "void") 8) A'rie (wind elemental)/ Zepha (wind powers) 9) Ebb (water elemental) 10) Pollen (plant powers) 11) Gangster (can duplicate at least six bodies) 12) Stheno (turns people into stone - like a Medusa)
I also suggest we specify which versions of the ff. we'll use, since their Preboot and Postboot versions are vastly different:
1) Computo 2) Roxxas 3) Emerald Empress (who has multiple Preboot versions too! - I vote we pick the classic one) 4) Mantis Morlo 3) Charma (Preboot could make women hate her and men love her. Postboot had mind-control powers over men only)

Of the members IB is suggesting for removal I'd like to keep any two of the fire-based villains, any one of the telepaths, Echo (because he has a unique power not duplicated by any of the others) and at least two of Tyr, Black Mace and Hunter (just because I like them).
For his suggested replacements I'd like to support Ze Tongue, Cherry Bomb, Quicksand, Holdur, Twine and Stheno.

I'm happy with taking out any of those Ibby suggests, though I'd also happy leaving all three telepaths in.
I'm strongly in favor of including:
Ze Tongue, Quicksand, Holdur, and Twine.
I vote original recipe Computo, original recipe Emerald Empress, original recipe Charma, and, I suppose, original recipe Mantis Morlo as well.
The problem with Roxxas is that he'll be pretty useless if you make it the original, but arguably too powerful if you make it the postboot. I'd be happy just to take him out.
