dc and marvel have just been emptied, losing all of their copyrights and characters forcing all to become free agents. in place of the 2 former companies, 4 newer companies have stepped to the plate to draft from the free agent lists. now that no one is exclusive anymore... who goes where? basic rules: - each team has a salary cap of 500 million.
- each of the free agents has a respective face value.
- top tier character's are valued at 25 million
- second tier characters are valued at 10 million (lesser heroes/baddies, major supporting characters, etc).
- third tier characters (most everyone else) and licensing titles (like 'gotham city' and 'avengers' and 'dc') are valued at 5.
- i'll make judgement calls to determind character rank, after their selection (if necessary).
the 4 corporate heads are:
- bianca
- nowhereman
- silver
- allan
they will represent their companies by selecting their new characters (and are free to receive outside help and/or advice from anyone else) selections will be made in that order trades can be proposed at any times, but must be done so publically (in this thread) and also must await my approval. select wisely! pick who you want on your team and/or who you don't want on the other! and always keep an eye on your money allotment (it dries up quickly!). and also dont forget to purchase a company name (you can create your own, if you wish, but that will cost the same). lets'a'go! yer up, bianca:

Draft Men & Women - Draft!
My tips...
Spider-Man's looking fit for a good season this year.....
Strong performer of the recent couple of seasons Wolverine looks in steady form.
The Flash and reliable old Captain America are always relaible draws for the old time punters.
Daredevil and Wonder Woman appeal to a more diverse range of the maintsream punters and can bring "seasonal" fans back to the game with the right coaching and performance.
The young punters though - well after the collapse of the big 4, the contracts for the steady drawcards for young uns, Archie, Mickey, Donald, Pokemon, Casper, Sabrina, DragonBallZ and even the Powerpuff Girls (I'm sure Craig McCracken/ Cartoon Network still have control) remained in the tight grips of their respective companies )
Although I'm sure you could draft Alfred E Neuman or Sugar and Spike... hell, draft G'nort Spider-Ham if you really wanna bring the kiddies in (G'nort adventures!) but one answer remains
...whoever has Hal Jordan on their team will win.

for shame, bianca. ...for shame. wolverine has been selected, and displayed as selected several times now (nowhereman's second pick). for this grievous error, you're forced a penalty of your choice: a $15 mil charge, but permitted to pick again (with additional cost)
or
a complete loss of turn
