Hmm.  If it was just in the Eva universe, I'd just use the next 3 in
line after Toji in their classroom group.

If I was allowed to mix anime universes, Ekichi Onizuka (GTO) since
he's able to adapt very fast to almost any situation, and he's old
enough to give Koji a run for Misato's heart, Ryoko (Real Bout High
School) so that we could see an eva sporting a full length sword, not
just the prog knife, and finally, Amuro Rei (Mobile Suit Gundam) just
because his newtype abilities would take Evas to the next level.

Allowing video game universes into the mix, I'd toss in Feifong Wong
(Xenogears), although he'd bring in Weltall (the Godslaying gear). 

> 2) Eva character/s you would most like to be stuck in a lift with?

Maya Ibuki.  I'd be there to comfort her during the angel attack, and
prove that the reason she saw Ritsuko in EoE was hero worship, not
lesbianism.

> 3) Eva character/s you would least like to be stuck in a lift with?

Misato.  As I'm putting my moves on her, she's struggling to get to the
Command Center so I'd end up being left alone there.

> 4) Any suggestions for an alternative power source for the Eva's?

Alcohol.  I could just picture the following scenario.

Worker:  If we fill it up with the tanker of Ebisu that just showed up,
it'll be powered for a full half-hour instead of just 10 minutes.

Misato:  Shinji, can you hear me, you'll only have 10 minutes of power,
deal with the angel fast.

Hmm. This is tough, but I'd go with a plugsuit, never know when I might
need one.

Yes.  Each section accesses different cartridges.  I mean Gendo's not
gonna let his blackmail material accessible to everyone.

Waited until it slept, and tied it up like Gulliver.

Shinji - Orchestral performer, obviously because of his talent.
Rei - stuntwoman, due to the clones
Asuka - question dodged to avoid backlash from her
Gendo - Military general, tactical expertise
Misato - Massage therapist, umm, you know.
Maya - Misato's assistant, hey, I don't have to defend myself here!

Eva repairs, new car for Misato, food supplies, salaries of employees,
death benefits, electrical bills, another car for Misato, medical
supplies for the hospital they run, another car for you know who ...

Same way the couch got in Dirk Gently's stairwell.  (See works of
Douglas Adams if reference not got.)

Sexually based:  Toothpicks.
Non-sexually based:

Still, otherwise they'd say it tickles.

Don't want to even think about that.

Both.

> 15) What anime would it be amusing to for Eva to do a crossover with?

Dragon Ball/Z/GT

Watching Goku et. al dealing with the angels would be hilarious.
