Different "Fantastic Four"s

[tidge]

I'm hosting an event today:

400 points, unrestricted but with the following "Who wants to be the new Fantastic Four" force build restrictions:


Every team must have 4 and only 4 figures.
No figure on the team can have the F4 TA, or the F4 keyword.
There are no keyword bonuses for this event.
Every figure will be given the (regular) F4 TA instead of any other TA it may posses.
Each player can provide up to 2 BFCs that will go into a pool, there will be a single, random BFC in play for all maps at the same time.

And I've been plating around with some oddball teams to use as a potential "bye" round.

Here is one that I wish worked out a little better in points:

140 Fenris Wolf
100 Krypto
70 G'nort
38 Vet Lockjaw

= 348 points

Doesn't Lockjaw break the no-F4-keyword rule?

Would be fun to play in that tournie though. Just for fun I've just tried putting together a similarly-powered-proxies team; but Elastic Man, Gypsy (I'm still not entirely sure on that one, but I'm still waiting on an Invisible Kid figure...), Korg and (Infinity Challenge) Firelord come up just short of 300 points...

I'd go with the following; it's a nasty team unless the person gets smart:

2099 Hulk 123 pts.
Rip Hunter 97 pts.
1 Mil Flash 83 pts.
Johnny Alpha 64 pts.

This leaves 33 points for feats if they are allowed. I don't like easy bye teams; having a challenge is fun!

D'oh, that's right!

Here is the team I built for today. I got to play half of a game against a single player. It was nice to be busy with seven players today!

"The Robotic Four!"

174 SR Ultron
+ 6 Nanoarmor
78 U Jocasta
75 LE Skull-Brother
67 V Red Tornado

This team is much nastier with Nova Blast on Ultron instead (it just fits if the Tornado is downgraded to Experienced) but I thought that was too cruel.

Cool, that would be the Fantastic 100. (Those that got this would be 1 of the 10 types of people out there...)

It's binary

I also fooled around trying to make a "Buggy Fantastic Four" using SR Annihilus, Mantis, Miek, Shathra, et al. but I couldn't make the points work.
