I am new to this site but I am loving it so far! My buddies and I play heroclix all the time, Marvel only, but we have a good time. I came accross this team last week, and won every battle with them, all the battles were 4 team battles. Let me know what you think and how I can improve it, because my friends are all working on teams to beat this one for our next encounter.

Cyclops-E
Black Panther-E
Firelord-E(I know people hate him, but he is a great insurance policy)
Thor-E
Elektra-E
Logan-E

I use Panther to Outwit the defenses of anyone and blast them with Firelord, Thor, and Cyclops, or to blade them with Elektra or Logan. I can use the barrier from Firelord to protect my team and Thor can drop the up-close guys next to anyone for some quick attitude adjustments. Everyone always goes right after Firelord, so I can usually set up traps with him as bait, and Thor is the best in keeping people away. What do you think?

How many points for the game are you lookin' at?

They are a 400 point team. That is all that I really get to play.

I would maybe either drop the E Elektra or E Logan, and find a way to put in another Super Strength character.

As much as I loathe to tell someone how to use their firelord better, I am bored so I am making this post.

Your team seems pretty solid. Those are all pieces I play. Except blue elektra. Try and sneak in the unique if at all possible. Also I like the idea that you taxi are actualy still usefull even if the person they are carrying gets killed. Thor can taxi and shoot all in the same action. That's good thing.
However, firelord would be a lot better with his own dedicated low point total taxi. (Think yellow vulture) The biggest question here is "what do you have against medics?" Having a medic on your team doubles firelords effectiveness. Once they get that first hit on firelord it's real easy to make follow up hits on him. But the good part about that for you is that he's real easy to heal as well.

Some perplex for thor (think red doc ock) and some probability control (think red black cat) would do well for this team.

its a solid team overall and i like the idea of firelord as bait

i know its a 400 point game and you get 4 action but try and put in leadership an extra action wouldnt hurt you and like others have states another taxi so maybe U wasp or V doombot would help strenthen your team and in terms of PC look for E black cat she has the symbol as well and can copy avengers for the free move or what ever else you have

if your goin cheezy might as well use V bullseye as well use him instead of cyclops to lower point value a bit to make room for other pieces

maybe R avalanche for the cheap barrier type deal that would help out your heavy hitters a bit if you dont like to use medics
