@ Dane ....sounds legit.
I think I'll throw up my own team and then split up for some tournament action and post the scenario.
Just curious...which Dreed where you going to use....Urban or Sly?

@luna Urban. He was pretty legit.
The thing is though, I don't get the impression we get to keep their standard gear. For Dredd his combat skills were good but nothing special, the only thing I really wanted him for was his body armor and future tech gun.

@luna thoughts on Seraph from The Matrix?

@ Dane, that is correct. They do not get any of their gear.
Here's where everyone laughs at me...I actually haven't ever watched any of the Matrix movies, so I need some information to make a judgement.

Here's where everyone laughs at me...I actually haven't ever watched any of the Matrix movies, so I need some information to make a judgement. He's basically just a stupidly good martial artist. It'd be like picking Bruce Lee except this guy seems very good at using guns too. EDIT: Apparently in the extended Matrix universe (there is one of those?) it stated that Seraph was formerly an Agent, which would give him enhanced speed, strength, etc. But that clip is the best you see of him in the films and that's the version I want. I don't see anything particularly enhanced about that fight scene except the kicks, but you can see it for yourself so I'll let you judge.

Though in other news, I would gladly take Gabriel Yulaw from The One as my Kung Fu menace

Scenario: The first round of the tournament takes place in the wild and vast wasteland of the Mojave Desert. The battleground is a 10 x 20 mile rectangle that is completely unpopulated. If you leave the boundaries of the battlefield you are disqualified. You will be competing against another team that would love nothing more than to rip out your trachea with their bare hands. Both teams will be drugged and air-dropped into the desert by night with nothing but the clothes on their back, a map of the battlefield, a card key, a single combat knife, and a single canteen of water. (Note: Clothes include combat boots, socks, standard tan BDU pants, a belt, a t-shirt/tank top in their team color and a head covering of their choice.) Both teams will awaken from their drugged stupor at approximately 7:00 AM. The weather for the duration of the competition is clear and dry with a high of 110˚ F. They will begin approximately equidistant from their respective bases, which will be classic wild-west styled towns. These towns will be at the back center of their respective sides of the field. Within the main Saloon of these towns is where the flags will be kept. In the very exact center of the battlefield there will be a junkyard that they will also begin equidistant from. Hidden somewhere in this junkyard is a safe color coded with the team’s colors (red or blue). This safe can only be opened by the card key given to the team. The safe is made from adamantium and is indestructible. You cannot open the other team’s safe as they have a different card key. Both team’s safes are found in the junkyard, but will be hidden among the junk. There will also be a black safe which can be opened by answering a sequence of five riddles prepared by the Riddler. This safe is first come first serve and can be accessed by anyone. Your character must demonstrate serious intelligence or expertise in riddles/logic/puzzles/etc to have a chance of opening this safe. Assume solving these riddles will take at least five minutes for even the most brilliant mind. In the (red/blue) safe there will be 2 Kevlar Vests, 5 pistols of your choice, 1 manual action shotgun of your choice, 1 Manual action Rifle of your choice, 1 Assault Rifle of your choice, 1 Bow of your choice w/ standard arrows, 3 Frag Grenades, 3 Flash-bangs, 3 Smoke Grenades, 2 Claymore Mines, 1 lb of Semtex/C4, 100 ft of nylon rope, 5 knives of your choice, 1 standard material melee weapon of your choice, 1 steel hatchet, 1 pair of brass knuckles, 1 pair of Binoculars, a compass, 2 books of matches, 3 additional canteens, 5 lbs of canned fruits and beans, 1 lb of beef jerky, and a Fifth of Johnie Walker Blue Label. ( All guns have only iron sights) In the black safe there will be 2 additional Kevlar vests, 1 additional assault rifle, 3 sticky grenades, 3 Gas masks, 1 pair Night Vision Goggles, 4 Extended clips, 2 speed loaders, 1 Holographic Sight, 1 ACOG scope, 2 additional lbs of Semtex/C4, 3 Bouncing Betty's, 5 wireless bluetooth communicators with a range of 2 miles, 1 adamantium melee weapon of your choice, and a canister of 1 use spray that can heal any bodily injury, except damage to the brain. You may use whatever strategy you wish, but the in the end, whoever captures the other team’s flag and returns it to their base while retaining their own flag will win.

You know, the day when you can't tell me how radsauce a team is in whatever way you see fit is the day this all stops being fun. I only regret I didn't have enough spots for Jet Li and Stallone to join the party.

I'm having kind of a conundrum. on one hand I want to use Ben Wade, he is an awesome bad ass after all, however i can't help but think he'll end up outclassed facing a team like yours.

I know the feeling. I had to pass over a lot of very worthwhile characters (especially from Hong Kong cinema) because in structured military-style combat in open environments they would be totally useless.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a good leader to fill his role. I've contemplated Barney Ross (Expendables), Hannibal Smith (A-Team), and Lennox (Transformers) but none of them are really sticking out to me.

I think the best tactician out of those is Hannibal, though Barney Ross is undoubtedly the better gunfighter. Tacticians and leaders are very hard to come by in action films tbh.
I took Frank Moses from Red because he came up with intelligent plans quickly, commanded respect from everyone around him and seemed notoriously hard to kill. That and he's the least likely Bruce Willis character to get a face full of lead from questionable military tactics.

Frank Moses was on my short list until you took him lol I just pulled names out of a hat and it will be... Dane vs. Beatboks So we meet again. Hope this is as much fun as our galactic showdown was ( Danebolt vs Dark Nebula ). That was arguably the best debate I had ever. Won't deny you have an advantage in the physicals department. But I think I have enough of an edge in the strategic side of things to compensate. Number Six was a genius who even as a captor in a super sci fi secured Island could make it more a prison for his captors than him and pit them against each other, Nikita went solo vs her own covert Op organization and defeated them at every turn even though they had far greater resources to bring to bare, Napolean solo was another creation of Flemings who is basically Bond but less intense and far less likely to react hot headed. Let's have at it
