Illyria

I'm' not convinced Popeye has any answer to anything she's capable of. Her Time Control lets her completely freeze targets in midair--so unless you have some protection against time manipulation or a way to just no sell being frozen, any fight is over before it begins. You try anything, she completely freezes you in time, the end.

Even if we grant Popeye the ability to move in frozen time (toon force, sure, why not?), Illyria's teleportation is still completely busted. She can open portals to anywhere, even other dimensions.

Also she can warp other people without creating portals. She doesn't even need line of sight--she just moves whoever she wants to wherever she wants them, with no buildup or warning. Not only can you not remove her from the battlefield (she'll just warp back), she can remove you from the battlefield. Without being anywhere near you.

Then she has high durability (completely no-sells being incinerated by a dragon) and rapid healing, so even if we grant Popeye immunity to battlefield removal, he's going to have to go all-out to actually hurt her. Which judging by the arguments doesn't seem likely?

...also she can control plants for some God forsaken reason. Apparently she restrains an ancient God by ensaring it in a bunch of vines because everything about this character is terrible.

And that's all her weakened human form. If the nomination was for TRUE ELDER GOD ILLYRIA then...uggghhhhhhh....

........Unvote, I now hate Illyria.
