Wow it seems like Karma is getting a lot of votes cast her way. She's a fairly powerful psi.

[mattbib]

This round I have to eliminate anyone who lacks experience or who is just too susceptible to others.

Asgardian -- Too inexperienced; his powers are unexplored.
Hellion -- Justice is a stronger and more experienced TK.
Hulkling -- Too many others with super strength that have far more experience.
Husk -- Too outclassed here, despite her experience.
Iron Lad -- Even with his intelligence, both Warlock and Paradigm could defeat him pretty easily.
Lucy in the Sky -- Not powerful or experienced enough to make it.
Rictor -- His powers are nothing compared to Magma's.
Silverclaw -- Her powers are strong, but not enough.
Sister Grimm -- Her powers are too limited at this point and she lacks experience; not only would she have to cut herself all the time but she always has to think of new spells.
Sunpyre -- Outclassed by Firestar.

Immunity to Chamber
