View Full Version : What Team Ability Should Be Next?
There are a ton of great teams out in the Marvel Universe and would like to know everyones opinion on what teams they would like to see represented. This would include a NEW team ability (possibly), a feat card to represent the team, and figure representation. If I missed any major teams let me know I will throw them on the list.
Exiles would be my choice, but with 3 notable members already made, I highly doubt we'll get one.

What about Squadron Supreme? They can also have cross overs onto other teams as well, Avengers, Defenders, MOE, Sin-Syn.
I am of the Young Avengers since none of the characters have been made so there would be no characters who should get the TA and not have it (for instance, like Exiles or Hellfire Club).
If they did make an Exiles, it would be a Feat Card that uses the X-Men or Brotherhood TA and perhaps grant permanent Phasing or PC.

I voted for X-Force, because I was a big fan of the book back in the day. But I think the X varieties would do best with alternate team abilities granted from feat cards. I'd like to see a NEW team ability featuring Marvel Knights. I'd also appreciate a few more Morlocks.
Champions?
Angel, Ghost Rider, Iceman, Black Widow and Hercules
Runaways, totally. As MSU noted, there's no crossover problems with characters already created. And as they are a pretty comparably unique team, the opportunities to bring in a new and interesting team ability are wide open.

Midnight sons. They'll have to remake Ketch Ghost rider and blade. But c'mon Smokes Cloud?!? He could use a remake anyway.

Marvel Knights all the way. A new Punisher would be awesome, as well as a new Moon Knight. I think most of the other MKers have current figures that are not to be retired soon. I would also like a feat card that gives TA-less figures (Blade, Punisher, Elektra, etc.) a new Marvel Knights TA.
Of course, I play a pretty fun MK team as it is so maybe I'm just being greedy. :)
Supreme Power's Squadron. KC ability would fit them well.

Marvel Knights would be my second choice. It might be nice if the TA gave L/C free and open that slot up for some Flurry and charge.

Of the choices given, I'd like to be able to field a Hellfire Club team. However, the Supreme Power Squadron would be cool.

Thats the exact same thing I was just going to write.
It's hard choice Midnight Sons and Marvel Knights would cool, but i ended up voting for Generation X because of my annoyance at Jubilee and Chamber getting depowered, It would nice to have have fight on in clix form.

I gave my vote to Young Avengers. I'm a huge fan of that book and I would really like to see them in the next set with a TA, maybe in Feat form.

No love for the New Warriors?
How come there's no button for "fill out the teams we already have?" I think it'd be cool if each full-sized set had at least one new figure for each TA, kind of like Legacy did.
I think these options can fill out the teams because the figures can be created, but then there can be Feat cards or other versions of the figures that represent different incarnations of that character.

10/25/2005, 14:24
:angry: rassa frassa no good rotten lousy teams getting in before the invaders rassa frassa :angry:
Only figs I really collect anymore are Hellfire Club figs...so obv they get my vote. AoA would be pretty sweet too. HFC would be tough though. I could definitely see a new white Queen being justified, given the Brotherhood team ability, but what about the Hellfire Guards, and Donald Pierce and the black Queen unique...or Selene...none really warrant remakes. Oh well.

Marvel Knights. Same ability as Batman/Kabuki.
Vevilaughs
10/25/2005, 15:46
New Warriors do have one representative... Firestar. With the mechanics of gameplay today, I would have thougth that Marvel Boy/Justice would also have been made at the same time to give the Avengers some much needed & affordable TK.
I would like to see Rougue's Gallery TA for DC and a Champions TA for Marvel (even if it is was crossed with Defenders... GIVE US MORE DEFENDERS).
Wolverine_Hulk
10/25/2005, 16:11
Earth X would be aswome I have read the seirs(sp?) over and over again. Fat Wolverine, Hydra generics, Franklin Richard Galactus, Hulk transporter with Bruce Banner, Namor with fire, Blood Storm, a new Iron Man, Spider-Girl with the symbiote, Luke Cage and Spider-Man Police officers, etc..
Two questions, which X-Force (would it include X-Statix). Why no X-Statix or Imperials?
The Charlatan
10/25/2005, 16:29
Squadron Supreme all the way for me, baby! (though would they be Original Recipe, or JMS Flaovered?) Marvel Knights appeals to me the least... oh yes, we NEED Daredevil, Elektra and Blade remade yet again.... Silver Sable, Cloak and Dagger, Moon Kinght... except for maybe Shang-Ti, the entire thing would be remakes who probably would be only slightly different than the first time they were put out...

Runaways, totally. As MSU noted, there's no crossover problems with characters already created. And as they are a pretty comparably unique team, the opportunities to bring in a new and interesting team ability are wide open.
Also voted Runaways. The characters are really interesting. Would Arsenic and Old Lace be a double based fig?
Being an X-Men fanboy I almost voted Generation X. I thought Jubilee would have been out a long time ago. Not sure how Husk would work in clix though.
Answerman
10/25/2005, 16:38
Exiles would be my choice, but with 3 notable members already made, I highly doubt we'll get one.
Last i checked we only have 2 Exiles.
The old Mimic is the 616 Mimic.
The one whos all messed up, and not nearly a cool as the Exiles Calvin.
I'd really like some of the Exiles like Nocturne, Morph, and Mimic (the good one!) so they got my vote.
It was tough to choose though, Runaways, Squadron Supreme, and the Age of Apocalypse were all very tempting.
Darth Sabre
10/25/2005, 17:18
Thats the exact same thing I was just going to write.
Of course, after I vote he changes the choices! :p
Oh well, glad I'm not the only one.
I think Sunspot could fill in one of the roles, and you could field a complete Inner circle team, with some one filing in each role.
NEVERMORE

There are a LOT of teams on there I would like to see but I voted for Gen X none of them have be maded yet. All new clixs.

AoA and Runaways!

10/25/2005, 17:57
I'm a big fan of Runaways right now, but Gen X gets my vote. Only because a Chamber figure would look awesome with some clear plastic.
Being an X-Men fanboy I almost voted Generation X. I thought Jubilee would have been out a long time ago. Not sure how Husk would work in clix though.
Husk would probably be as good as any other shapeshifter with an activation click... :ermm:

While the New Mutants book that came out recently wasn't much to look at, the original was a great story from what I remember. Since we have almost a full roster in Magma, Shadowcat, Cannonball, Warlock, Karma, Wolfsbane, Magik, Cypher Pog (no X-team, doh) and Mirage/Moonstar. The only figs we are missing is Sunspot and maybe Douglock and Darkchild.

I went with Earth X. They're Marvel's KC in my mind, and I'd love all the unique sculpts the game could benefit from if they were made.
Who WOULDN'T like an Earth X Captain America?
I would like to see......
How about the Invaders:
Bucky
Toro
Union Jack
Spitfire
or the Defenders still needs a few
Valkyrie
NightHawk
or Inhumans
Black Bolt
Karnak
Triton
Still could use a couple of former Heralds of Galactus
Gabriel "Air Walker"
Morg
Some Avengers
Falcon
Mockingbird (West Coast)
Excalibur
Meggan (Excalibur)
Some Others I liked to see made as well
Hela
Xemnu the Titan
Grim Reaper
Whiplash/Blacklash
Melter
Beetle
Dragonman
Jack O' Hearts
Classic Electro (with Funny mask electric bolts mask)
Omega Red
Nova "Richard Rider"

Thin Man - Plasticity/Phasing, BCF, Perplex/Outwit/Exploit
John Walker as an REV

Blazing Skull - 4 clicks impervious, 7 clicks of regen, a never dropping attack, perplex, battle fury, 8 range, super strength, charge, leap/climb... oh yeah, KC Magog's little, crazy, regenerative brother.
Whizzer
The Fin - BCF plus EW plus Dolphin speed plus charge

D'oh! He puts up Squadron Supreme after I vote!
I say the best, and most comic accurate, team ability is this:
Opponents trying to Mind Control SS members get +1 to their AV.
A negative team ability would help to lower the cost too and wild card it all you want! Plus, with Saboteur, it would be even better!
TimoSupremo
10/25/2005, 19:00
:disappoin :disappoin I wished that the SINISTER SYNDICATE had been an option (or Spidy Villian in other words...) as over 20 villians were listed as not being made yet for this faction, making it the Marvel Team Ability with the most unmade potential.
Oh well, lets finish X-Force then, with Sunspot, Rictor, Shatterstar, Feral, Siren, etc.
JadeDragon55
10/25/2005, 19:29
I voted for Gen X. I just love those guys too much. As already stated, I'd love to see a Chamber fig. Not to mention Jubilee, M, Synch, Skin, Husk and Penance.
And hey might as well throw some of the villains they faced in as well, D'Spayre and Emplate would be cool to see.
One team I've never seen anyone mention that I think would be cool to see would be the Acolytes of Magneto. (Yeah they'd probably get stuck with the Brotherhood TA, but oh well). It'd be nice to see Fabian Cortez in clix (who better to represent the enhancement power?) and we could get Cargill, Voght, Senyaka, the Kleinstock brothers and a whole bunch more, give us a set called Asteroid M or something.

for the dials i've made for the squadron and the institute of evil here are the TAs i came up with:
Squadron Supreme TA:
Whenever an opposing figure KO's a friendly Squadron Supreme team member, all Squadron Supreme team members on the KO'd figure's team increase their attack value by a total of 1 when attacking that opposing figure
Institute of Evil TA: (optional) Each time this character would be dealt damage, you may instead choose to have this damage be dealt to an adjacent friendly "Institute of Evil" member. The final target must be adjacent to the initial target.
the reasoning: In the mini-series (especially the last issue) the squadron was alot about revenge, and since i really wanted to support the team dynamic i thought this power would accurately represent the team. i capped the bonus to 1 as it could get out of hand. for the Institute of Evil, I figured that a team mastermind would accurately represent how the team "worked together" ;) I liked the idea of the smaller point pieces being able to pawn damage off to the higher point bricks so i removed the less points clause. i didn't want to allow a huge train of masterminding so i made sure it was only adjacent characters.

I'd go with Squadron Supreme myself. Lots of options there for characters. Hellfire Club would have been a good second choice, except that much of the inner circle been made already. (Of course both Queens are retired, so they could be redone).
More love for the Invaders and Inhumans! Get 'em up to vote.
In terms of the Feat card suggestion, I would love to see an alternate TA for Sinister Syndicate that requires all of your team to have the TA. This would allow you to do all the SS million variant teams: Sinister Six, Sinister Twelve, Fatal Five, Bel Biv DeVoe ...
chaosMonkeyPoo
10/25/2005, 21:33
I think that Marvel Knights would be the most interesting new TA to add. If they were to add it I know the perfect abilty it would grant. STEALTH (IE the Batman TA). Every single Marvel Knights charactor outside of ghost rider and Dagger already has stealth on thier old dials (Examples for those who dont belive me- punisher, daredevil, cloak, Black Widow, Moon Knight -- and hell, since his book is a Knights book now hows about Wolverine to boot?
And besides, the Batman TA one of the only TA's that Marvel has yet to get an equivalent of (In comparison to Indy and DC) outside of usiing Thunderbolds. Or would you rather have another mystics TA to wildcard abuse?

Put me down for rounding off the Pre-exsisting Team Abilities first. Given the choice, I would much rather see some of the already pre-existing teams be fleshed out before creating all-new Team Abilities. Do we really need a dozen new Team Abilities (best put to use in Theme games) when we can't even affectively field the pre-exsisting teams we already have due to a lack of characters being made for that particular Team Ability?
P.S. Did sombody mention the New Warriors.......hmmmmmm, maybe I can be persued. :)

I voted for Age of Apocalypse, mostly for SugarMan.
But then I remembered (or think I remember... correct me if I'm wrong) who the Squadron Supreme was... Hyperion, Power Princess, Dr. Spectrum....
The only problem is... can WizKids get away with making figs based on a MAX line? (Punisher doesn't count, because he's appeared elsewhere.) If so, gimme a Jessica Jones fig! Ooo, and The Purple Man!

If the punisher doesn't count, then none of them do. Squadron Supreme are Avenger enemies/Allies, Purple man is a long time Daredevil enemy, and I admit, I have NO IDEA who Jessica Jones. the way they treat her in the comics, I feel like I should know her. (From what I've seen of her though, I wouldn't expect more than a pog, a la Misty knight and Collen Wing)

Didn't Douglock not come along until Excalibur?
We are almost done with the New Mutants, as far as the 80's goes. As far as later additions there is also Shatterstar, Feral, and Rictor.
Hopefully after New Mutants they'll move on to X-Factor or Gen X.

10/26/2005, 02:43
Why not New Warriors?
Inhumans...it's not on the list but the Inhumans should get their own TA and the other prime members....

10/26/2005, 02:52
Only Firestar and Dagger have been made so far, unless u count Spiderman.
We still need...
Speedball
Nova/Kid Nova
Night Thrasher- REV can represent his differnt armors he had
Sillohette
Rage
Justice
Timeslip-HSS AND PC!!!
Bandit
Darkhawk- WOULD BE SOO KOOL!
Turbo
Turbo-mickey
Namorita/Kymera-Reflected in REV
Scarlet Spider
and if u want to consider the crappier newer series...
Bolt
Aegis
Microb
Debris
This would also open up a chance for Psionex!! That could give us Mathematician, Darkling, and even the awesomeness of Pretty Persuasion!

10/26/2005, 02:55
Thinking about it now, I think X-Force, Generation-X and Excaliber and New Mutants should all be feat cards (a la Thunderbolts/Alpha Flight) instaed of new team abilities. Just put all the mutants on the X-Men team and use the feat card instead.
And AoA isn't a good idea, 'cause they'll just do the Ultimate X-men thing again. I mean, AoA would just be another X-men team and they'd just stick all the bad guys in the Brotherhood team (just like Ultimate Sabretooth and Magneto).
That's just my ten cents worth. If they introduced a Marvel Knights TA and a Midnight Sons Feat card... That'd be sweet.
Just my opinion :)

How could I forget Chamber!! I love me some Chamber...his click would look wicked awesome.
Husk would probably be as good as any other shapeshifter with an activation click... :ermm:
Well we haven't seen how Seth deals with the shapeshifting type characters but even so Husk isn't really a shapeshifter but a formshifter and I don't know if we've had one of those yet...

I agree. That is why I didn't vote for Gen X. Especially the way the X-teams have such rotating memberships. One week their Gen X, Next week they're X-men, Next week they're Excalibur.
Plus the team ability they have is a useful one that I feel better applies to Gen X then X-men Proper.
I though AOA Sucked and have no interest in it at all.

Well we haven't seen how Seth deals with the shapeshifting type characters but even so Husk isn't really a shapeshifter but a formshifter and I don't know if we've had one of those yet...
Didn't Seth do Beast boy? he turned out better than the first one.
I made a husk with Random alternating damage reducers, leadership (debatable), BCF (also random) and charge.
She's kind of like Absorbing man, without all the extra strength.
Since AoA is far out ahead right now, would people like to see new figs for AoA Horsemen, a Team Ability, or a Feat card that would convert existing figs to AoA figs?
I was thinking a Feat card that allowed any of the Horsemen from the coimcs to use AoA power iff they were the only figures on your team or any four figures if you also had Apocalypse on your team. (Yeah, I know writing the prereq would be horrible. But, hey, you could just write something crappy and vague on the card, then fix it in the FAQ!)
The other idea I had was to make "pog" Feat cards for the Horsemen. You get one for War, Famine, Pestilence (Pollution would be an LE), and Death. The pogs have a point cost and an augment for each Horseman and get played under the base of the figure. Then maybe an AoA Feat card where the prereq is you play all four pogs on figures...
War Pog:
Cost: +10% of the figure's cost
Augment: +2 AV
Famine Pog:
Cost: +5% of the figure's cost
Augment: Perplex that can only target opposing figures
Pestilence Pog:
Cost: +??% of the figure's cost
Augment: ??
Death Pog:
Cost: +10% of the figure's cost
Augment: Two click AP

This makes sense seeing as everyone has been lumped together into the X-Men anyway. Feat cards would be good for theme teams.
I think if AoA hadn't been added, Exiles still would be leading the pack.
Having said that, I like AoA more!

10/26/2005, 12:08
Whichever teams would give Marvel equivalents of Batman/Kabuki and Mystics/CrossGen TAs.
Marvel Knights and, I can't be sure at all here, Midnight Sons have been forwarded before now as likely candidates for these.
If they did make an Exiles, it would be a Feat Card that uses the X-Men or Brotherhood TA and perhaps grant permanent Phasing or PC.
Or they could have the same PC ability as CSA (more balanced than just getting permanent PC).

Consider this another write-in vote for New Warriors. I figure all their Exp versions should have Spider-Man TA, keeping in line with Firestar. Then the Avengers TA should be placed on them where appropriate (V Justice, R Rage, R Darkhawk).
But since they weren't on the list, I punched in GenX. Young Avengers was a close consideration as well.

Could you NAME over 20 Morlock characters that have not been made into Heroclixs????? :rolleyes: Some how I don't think their are THAT many.
I can think of maybe 5....., and that's pushing it.
I can easily list over 20 Spider-Man enemies that have yet to be seen in clix format:
1. HydroMan
2. Carrion
3. Tarantula
4. Puma
5. Tombstone
6. Vermin
7. Chamilean
8. Chance
9. Carrion
10. Beetle
11. StiltMan
12. Hammerhead
13. Silvermane
14. Tinkerer
15. MoltenMan
16. Morbius
17. Solo
18. Cardiac
19. Kain
20. Jackal
21. DemoGoblin
22. 616 Electro
23 .....etc, etc,etc
And that was off of the top of my head in just under 5 minutes. :) :) :)

My first choice would be Exiles; Mimic, Morph, Nocturne, Sabertooth and Holocaust especially deserve to be made. I for one wouldn't mind a redone Blink with the transporter ability either not that i am complaining one bit about the one that we currently have (for which i am eternally greatful to wizkids as i never expected to see her).
But there are some tough choices on that list.
In the last few sets i've been pleased with all of the Marvel Knights type people we've been seeing (Cloak, Dagger, Iron Fist, Powerman, Black Knight) My one suggestion would be that we need a new more powerful Moon Knight with a much more Batman like dial.
AoA was the best mini-series/ X-over ever. A lot of the characters from that story deserve to be made/re-done; Apocalypse, X-man, Blink, Iceman, Sabertooth, Holocaust, Morph, Rogue and many many others. I for one would buy at least a case of a set based entirely on this series (but with all of the mutant hate out there I doubt that sentiment is shared). With the Exiles close relation to this time-line it would be feasable to see them together in a set.
Squad supreem would be fun but we have similar versions of most of these characters already in all of the DC sets.
But I am so pleased with the direction heroclix is going i'd be pleased getting anything off of this list it all deserves to be made

Now if we are just talking new team ability and not just team representation I honestly think there are enough team abilities in the game right now.
The exception would possibly be marvel knights and midnight sons to get the perma-stealth and mystic team ability in Marvel. And if that happens please erata Mystics so it is a non-copyable team ability (as a matter of fact please just do that anyway).
Everything else could be lumped in with what we already have: X-force/Exiles/ Gen-X= X-men, Young Avengers/ Squad Supreem/ Tunderbolts = Avengers and so forth.

Young Avengers would be awesome. Marvels own Teen Titans. Here is another team to consider that may just draw flames but check this out...........X-Babies! Huh, how bout that? LOL. A tiny colossus and wolverine would be sweet.

Since I just posted the day before a request to make an alt-TA feat card for Spidey team that has Marvel Knights, I'd have to vote for....
Doom Patrol.
No, really, MK gets my vote.

I would love to see some clix of Teddy and the gang! I have to say Young Avengers is the first book I grab when it comes out.
Many choices here, in the end I went with AoA.
Hope to see all of these themes at some point in the future...

I also went with YA, but I think WK will hav to acknowledge the thirst for AOA pieces. I knew there was a big following for it, but I never expected it to take a lead like this. It's also nice to see the Squadron Supreme steady at second place.

well i went with Exiles. I think that there are so many different characters that have shown up that there are some great options. In fact, somewhere I have an Exiles set that I created, and used all the team abilities (pre Ultimates) and had the basics filled.
Give me the RIGHT Mimic! Not the one that hasn't been seen in how many years? The Exiles Mimic has been that for a good 5 years or so now...no reason the Mutant Mayhem one shouldn't have been him, especially with his girlfriend in the same set
I thought there were plenty of AoA characters already. I guess what we really want is a new Apocalypse. :)

Well, if we Started getting AOA uniques, I want to see Magneto, Rogue, Sunfire, and Morph. They were my favorites in the series. Of course a New Apocalypse as well. They would probably create Wolverine before anyone else. X-Man would also make a great unique.

When did AOA get added to the poll? Curse you poll runners!!! I want to change my vote. :grin: LOVE that story arc!! I need another Rogue figure (all time favorite of mine). Of course, I still want to see some Gen X characters and Hellfire, too.

10/27/2005, 13:07
Squadron Supreme all the way. Hyperion might finally give us the marvel clix piece to compete with Superman. Dr. Prism, Ultrawoman, Golden Archer, the Whizzer, Nighthawk.... Sure they could almost drop new sculpts on onld DC dials... it would still be fun.
So many clix yet to made. :grin: that's why i hate remakes. i'd also liked to see Guardians of the Galaxy and the Infinity Watch. we only need three more characters for that - Drax, Pip and Gamora. :-P
I wish I could vote for X-Statix, but it's not on the list :(.

what about the amalgam universe? or days of future past. or the externals. or the savage land mutants. or the characters in nyx. or the imperial guard. different variations of the four horsemen (wolverine, deathbird, archangel, caliban, holocaust, mikhail rasputin, the first set) or, lol, the x babies could be cool. silly, but cool. complete with a new mojo and spiral.

Amalgam would be cool but would never happen. As for the rest? I don't think I'd want any of them. Horseman could be ok, at least hulk as war :)
Who is left in Days of future past? Most of the characters were already dead by then. The only one I really remember was Wolverine. and we got him. If you want a future story with some characters in it, what about Universe X. I wouldn't mind getting that Captain America.

Doesn't seem enough to make a whole new TA for. ESPECIALLY since most of them would already have a TA. I would prefer something new for the Unaffiliated groups as opposed to 8 different brands of X-men.
Also any new TA's should be for TEAMS not Universes. That's one of the problems I have with Indy Clix. Each "company" gets a team and they aren't so picky about who's teaming up with who. I mean, c'mon Hellboy and Rasputin get the same TA? I admit I only know them from the movie, but that seems odd. Judge Dredd and Judge Death? KC supes and Magog?

Unfortunately the word "team" is part of "Team Ability." In the case of Supes/Magog the ability is appropriate for both. In the case of Rasputin/Hellboy, a similar supernatural innate ability would be appropriate for both (though that isn't necessarily WC). In the case of many Avengers and X-Men, they pretty much got the TA for team membership, not appropriateness of the ability. It would have been much nicer to split the idea into "Team Affiliation" and "Innate Ability".

Concur. Tons more than that. There's a thread floating around about a Spider Man ATA. The WC TAs make it tough to build a "pure" team that isn't seriously overpriced (like LSH).
Originally in Mage Knight, the "factions" were simply a designation of team affiliation that carried no capabilities with them. Abilities for factions came with a revamp of MK. I think affiliations with no ability would have been better all around for HC.

X-Statix
Mainly out of my love for the team, but also because of my general hate for everyone else. :laugh:
Captain_Comet
10/28/2005, 16:05
I think the importance of the thread is for us to see something new and fresh. AOA is just a bunch of alternates, but could be fun. I really like the idea of seeing YA, Squadron Supreme, or Runaways in clix form soon. I just want to see some fresh faces. at least we got 1 X-Statix character in.
Superfro
10/28/2005, 16:34
I want an X-statix TA that works like a combo of Suicide Squad and the Alt FF. Meaning that it works like SS, but the figures don't have to be adjacent to get the bonus roll. Just anywhere on the board. :)

What the Heck?
No New Warriors?
Bastichis.
They need to finish the New Mutants. Now all we need is Sunspot. And while they're at it they should finish X-Force: Syrin, Feral, Shatterstar and Rictor.
And X-Factor 2 :Strong Guy, Quicksilver/ an X-TA, And Multiple Man!
Jamie Maddrox is about to drop back on the Radar in a BIG way.
I figure a Unique, A bunch of generic "Multiple Men" and a real cool Feat that lets them Share damage or something akin to the Morlock TA.
And Stong Guy could be the Giant Fig with the X-TA.
But My vote is still The New Warriors.
They just made a quicksilver with X-Men team ability

Firestar indicates that New Warriors are Spidey allies. Now lets get some more team members!

I think if that was the case, they would have gone with the rookie as a spider friend.
She spent too many years as a new warrior for them to just gloss over it and give her a TA based on an out of continuity TV show. (besides we don't have a spider friend Iceman)
I agree that it is stupid if they did...but they have done stuff more stupid before when it comes to characters and TA choices hehe

I wouldn't use the word stupid. Just uninformed. such as Jacosta with no Avengers TA, and Crystal as a unique FF member when she clearly spent ages with the Avengers as well.
phantom1592
10/29/2005, 13:08
Also with Teen titans and Justice league unlimited, they have gone out of their way to make sure heroclix is a COMIC game with nothing to do with the cartoons.
As for Crystal, it sounds like a tough choice. She was only getting one of the TAs and FF have fewer teammates than Avengers. I'm not sure if i'd call that "stupid" either. I don't realy care about her one way or the other.
Of course given the two choices, I think I'd have gone Avengers, and let her T-bolt to FF if players wanted.

I'm for the age of apocalyse all the way, anyplace where Magneto is leader of the X-Men and Sabretooth is good guy is worth consideration. So much potential.
I've been making noise about this one in the wizkids forum for a while now. Maybe they'll see this.

The only problem with that is you can't T-Bolt the new FF ability which is the only one really worth the points. :)
Wheres the Kree/Skrull war?

ok i guess i have to augment what i said about morlocks, true there are not many morlocks, but being that the sentinal teams and AoA teams would have more members, i dont see why morlocks got a team but the other two didn't, Sentinal Team ability too... isn't the battle x-men face on the second front with the finatical humans that hunt them down with giant killing robots... bastion, boliver trask, omega red... yea sentinels could use a team too

I vote for the Squadron Supreme. Because then we can get more DC rip-offs (other than Gladiator and Sentry) in the marvel sets...

Yeah, but I would rather see an "ATA" for Sentinels:
Prereq: "Sentinel" printed on the base
Members of the X-Men and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants teams score double points when KOing these figures. When a figure is KOd by an X-Men or Brotherhood of Evil Mutants figure, it may be returned to the board in any starting area with its dial one click from the starting position.

The one problem is that Henry Peter Gyrich doesn't have Sentinel in his name.

It's better than having to figure out a way to do a Feat to allow you to AoA all the figures that have been Apocalype's Horsemen... I still think that would be better with a Feat than a TA.

Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club rules. Too bad Shaw'a already made(eww, since when did he join Magneto?).
If there ever was a chance, I'd like to see Sebastian Shaw, Shinobi Shaw, Selene, Scribe, Sunspot, Donald Pierce, new Hellfire Guards and perhaps, Blackheart. A Hellfire version of Emma Frost, Madelyne Pryor and Tessa would be neat too though Shaw and Selene would be nasty uniques.
