I'll sign-up if there is still room. I can even promise more debate this time around.

A bit of advice to the new folks, but as it's unasked-for feel free to ignore it.
-A couple of important things to note are that the League operates under Marvel Time-Travel rules and has PIS-On. To give an idea to what that means: Deathstroke's Velocity 9 is an 8 in the store, but SMvsFL level things still don't count.
-Speed Kills - Items that grant Superman-level speeds go fast, as do characters with that level of speed with additional powers. Most matches hinge on what level of Lightspeed the characters/teams can function at.
-Research is key - Before you buy something do more than just read the Wiki/Links provided if you can. Several people have been burned by feats/facts brought up after purchase. Beware the no-limits fallacy as well, it can cost you more than the points used in the draft.
I also suggest you read older matches to get an idea of how the strategies and debates go if you haven't already. It can help to answer any questions you may have, but don't hesitate to ask any it doesn't.
This also reminds me, I had promised to make a section in the rules relating to power levels and things like that. But I'm not sure what to put in it.
Superman seems to be the cap as far as individual power levels go, and I assume this is the most powerful version of Superman?

Honestly, the "Superman can beat them" rule has never really been a literal thing. It's always been "somewhere around Superman's level physically is the max".
For example, I'm sure if we looked through the list we'd find several characters that are intangible by default or something, and that Superman thus 'can't beat'. That doesn't at all make them too strong for the League.
Well, I agree that you shouldn't get a guy who reality warps entire planets at thought speed under the argument that "he loses to Superman since he normally has human level durability".
But that itself is just more proof that "Loses to Superman" isn't the actual requirement for the League; it's just that Superman is a good example of where the physical limit roughly lies.
