Nice. First two picks down and no one has taken really obvious characters. After hearing some more ideas around the water cooler, it seems like this era of the site is going to be a little bit less traditional. Looking forward to it!
Let's go, Jack!

The only character I have a little bit of trouble with is Brainiac. Since in more recent iterations, he's irrevocably tied to Krypton and you don't have a Kryptonian in your main claims and I'd prefer if the Superman writer got to define Krypton for obvious reasons.
If you don't mind, could you shoot me a PM of a brief sketch of your plans for the character?
Otherwise, I will approve this claim wholeheartedly.

Okay, so if Jackalope doesn't get back to us, BKole will be on the clock at midnight EST. Jackalope's claims will be tentatively approved at that point, giving him a lock on them until the matter is sorted out. Hopefully another request for Brainiac won't be put in until then.

Really surprised how this draft is going. Though I have 8 more people ahead of me, I don't really have any idea what I'm going to claim. To many possibilities at the moment.

BKole, you're a tad too early since Jackalope's claim hasn't officially gone through due to some complications with Brainiac. But since there are no double claims for you (or DiscipleofBob for that matter), we should be good.
That being said, there are a couple issues with both your claims.
BKole: Billy Batson and Freddy Freeman can not count as wallpaper. It would be like Robin being a wallpaper for Batman, or actually since the main hero of the franchise is in fact Captain Marvel, it would be like Batman being a wallpaper for Robin.
That said, I know I told you that you should probably claim Billy and Freddy, I may have spoken too soon. Let me talk with MRP and Buck later tonight and we'll come to an agreement there. Hold tight. If you do have to claim them, you'll have to lose two of your current claims.
Bob: Yours actually benefits you in some ways. Several of the characters you actually claimed can count as wallpapers. Hippolyta is one of the examples of the Crisis Clause used in the rules. She is became the Golden Age Wonder Woman after the Crisis, which makes her essentially the same character, thus making her a wallpaper. The same thing goes for Diana Trevor who, if I'm correct is just the Earth-2 Wonder Woman. I'd also count Etta Candy and The Amazons themselves as Wallpaper.
So that effectively gives you four extra claims.
And either way, I'd prefer if you listed your wallpaper claims. Even if you don't have any, a simple "---" will suffice. This is just to keep thing easier for our record purposes and to make sure you didn't forget anything.
So yeah, we have a couple stalls right now, so I'm going to freeze the draft until those get figured out. According to the draft order, I'm next, so we're only holding me up (and everyone below me of course), but I can imagine the frustration if it was your turn and it was frozen then.
Hopefully we can get this show back on the road in a few hours.

So that effectively gives you four extra claims. I'm okay with extra claims. I wasn't sure who would count as Wallpaper or not. Different Diana Trevor though, specifically Steve's mom who crash-landed in Themyscira, fought and died there. Wouldn't have ever held the mantle of Wonder Woman, but would be a prominent figure in the Amazons. She'll figure prominently in my plot. If you still think she's Wallpaper, cool. I'll see if I can think of a few more claims, but so far my plot's turning up pretty solid. |

Ah. The only Diana Trevor who popped up in my (albiet quick) research was Wondy after she married Steve Trevor on Earth-2. And after more extent research, I'd still say that she's wallpaper. She's essentially a plot device in the actual comics to somehow bond Steve Trevor and Wonder Woman, so yeah, still counts.
And you don't need to replace them. But it is an option. Kind of surprised you didn't claim two certain sidekicks who are quite promenant in the DC Universe... just sayin'.

If you speak of the Wonder Girl(s), I decided I really didn't need them, and if someone wanted them for a Young Justice Title or something, I wanted to leave that possibility open for them.

Okay cool. But yeah, you don't need to claim four more characters. But the option is there.
Since you claimed early, you have the option to figure all that out until the other claims are settled. Once Jack and BKole's are figured out, we'll ask you if your list is final. Then it will be finalized until the end of the draft.

OK I just talked this over with Miller. Since it is a team title it would have 20 claims not 17, so we will move Freddy and Billy to Support, not Wallpaper giving him 19 claims and approve the claim. So when we hear form Jackalope or when midnight strikes, bkole will be all set and disciple of bob will be officially on the clock. His claim is set too I believe unless he wants to add anything with those 4 slots. Miller will be on the clock after that. -M |

Actually I know Miller is serious on Batman and Robin, so approved. I believe randomfan is next and therefore on the clock.
