800 points. 26 teams. Which will be the best? Can the defending champions the Avengers keep their title? We're about to find out.

Twice before flyingicarus and I have systematically pitted each of the Marvel and DC Heroclix "teams" against each other in a single elimination tournament to see who (unofficially) was the best team in Heroclix, at 300 and 500 points. Now we're going for 800. We've divided up the teams into two groups of 13 (only those TAs capable of fielding an 800 point team using only "name" characters qualify. Sorry Morlocks.) We'll randomly match them up and have at it until only one team remains. Some special rules:

1. All figures used MUST have the team symbol on their base.

2. To level the playing field, only the most expensive figure on a side may actually use the team ability. This so that teams like Mystics and Baman Allies aren't insanely overbalanced. If that figure is KO'd the next highest figure get to use the TA.

3. Wildcard teams get to copy the TA of their opponents, even if it normally an uncopyable TA.

4. Teams must fall within the 790-805 point range. A slight overage is allowed due to the difficulty of getting exactly 800 points when you're so limited in your choice of figures. No feats may be used in team building.

"So these guys are us? From the future?" Wildcat asked, still trying to wrap his head around it.

"Some of them, anyway," Dr. Fate confirmed. Green Lantern certainly. Hawkman. They have a Flash, but whether it's Jay or not is unclear."

"And then there's this Magog," Dr. Mid-Nite added. "We're not sure who he is, but from what we can tell, he's powerful enough to rival Superman."

"Fortunately, so am I!" Captain Marvel said.

"Leaves me and my gas gun feeling like something of a third wheel," Sandman said.

"Don't feel that way," Hawkman said. "Against these guys, every pair of hands will help. Jennie, will you be okay fighting your dad?"

"Yeah, I think so," Jade said, but she sounded a little less sure than she would have liked.

LOL. I started this yesterday...must have forgotten to send you the link. No prob.

"Incredible, the Justice Society are heroes..." the Flash says.

"Who need to be taught a lesson," Magog adds.

"I like it no better than you, Flash," Green Lantern adds.

"Agreed but we're also agreed that whomever is controlling them needs to be stopped. And we start, by stopping them," Red Robin says.

Behind him a voiceless Hawkman nods and stares steely into the distance.

All right, here goes.

"Come on! Let's hit the Flash before his backup can arrive!" Hawkman decided and moved out, Sandman close at his heels. But each swing he took, the Flash was fast enough to avoid it.

Wildcat joined him in the attack a moment later, but with no more luck.

Soaring into the sky, Hawkman throws his spear into his Justice Society counterparts wings.

Suddenly the two go fist to fist mid-flight.

"Hawkman vs. Hawkman," Wildcat notes looking skyward, "This'd be great ta watch, if it weren't live or death."

Wildcat on Flash, AV11 on DV20. Gets 11. Flash takes 4.

Hawkman on Flash, AV10 on DV16. Gets 6. (3+3) Flash takes 2 more, KB to E15 for 1 more, but that does save him the 2nd Flurry attack.

“Come on Ted, don’t blow this,” Wildcat told himself as the Flash zipped around, almost too fast for the eye to follow. “We can’t let these guys make fools of us. We’re the JSA for Pete’s sake.” Wildcat went into an almost Zen state and then without warning he struck, and landed a good solid right cross right on Flash’s chin.

“Nice job, Ted,” Hawkman said, breaking off from his doppelganger and hitting the speedster with his mace while he was still stunned from Wildcat’s punch. Flash used the force of the blow to break away from Hawkman, turning to flee to safety, but Sandman was there waiting for him.

“Good night, Flash,” Sandman said, a puff of sleeping gas in his face putting the speedster down for the count.

Wow, THAT was fast. Pass.

Correction: Your Hawkman has 3 damage, so that means my Hawkman should be at 4 (3 +1 for the push)

Mr. Terrific on Hawkman, Outwitting his Toughness. AV10 on DV17. Gets 6. Rerolls for Sandman. Gets 6 again. Rerolls for Fate. And gets another 6.

"Let me show your to your fate, doctor," Magog says as he savagely blasts the mage.

"Argh!" yells Magog.

"You don't think I was prepared for you?. I made the very best force field that magic can supply, along with a little kick that could even tame you, Magog."

"It'll take a lot more than that, mage. My next move towards you will be your last."

Captain Marvel whispers to Jade. "That Magog's pretty loud. I wonder how he'd feel if I quieted him down a bit?".
