A question about Rule 3. How specific is it when it comes to "alternate versions"? Some characters are technically alternate versions, but are completely different in almost every way. Some examples would be Noku, Kidpool, Zombie Spider-Man, Dark Claw, etc. Zombie Spider-Man vs Black Lantern Batman is technically a rematch between Batman and Spider-Man, but the versions used are completely different from the original versions. They have different abilities, backstories, strengths, weaknesses, etc. It's like two different characters essentially. I just think that Rule 3 should be more specific. I don't think that battles with alternate universe characters should be completely not allowed. There should be a guideline to follow for them.
