You know you're addicted to Heroclix when...

- You're watching the Justice League and you watch Solomon Grundy wallop Superman in to a wall and think, "Okay that's 1 click of damage plus 1 click of knockback damage"

- You stand inside a shrub and dare your pals to hurl objects at you while you yell, "Go ahead, it's blocking terrain when I'm in here"... You eventually stumble out of the shurb with a black eye.

- When playing basketball you fall victim to a fake move, "Maaan, outwitted again"

- You're little brother or sister is annoying you, so you just pick them up and put them under your arm making a succesfull capture move, "Target captured"

- You wake up in the middle of the night screaming for your very own Wonder Woman figure

- Your Heroclix retailers know you by name... and the nickname only your mother calls you

- When sitting on the train or bus you pass wind, dealing 1 click of damage to all people adjacent to you

- You attach an Aquatic mover symbol on your shoes only realising it does not help you when running through water, you graciously reduce your movements by half

- You wish your Elektra figure was life size

- You've got the ball in a game of football, you have the Charge ability but then you soon realise that are vulnerable to knockback

- Hypersonic Speed is that, Hypersonic, not you running up to somebody, punching them in the arm, then running back around the corner goofily

- You knockout a burgular with a candy machine, "Woohoo! 1 extra click of damage", candy is then spilled all over the floor due to the breakage

- You start to play sport matches with opponents playing on your side and teammates on the opponents side

- Your friend is lying on the floor in pain, thinking of the Titans team ability, you immediately punch yourself in the arm and ask your friend, "Feeling better?"

and lastly, another sign that you might be addicted to Heroclix is....

- You begin rattling pregnant women to see if you think they're carrying a "unique" inside of them

Thankyou very much, I'm here all night :p

That was pretty funny specially the break wind pulse wave attack.

pregnant women low blow...

when it isn't 2 in the morning I usually have lots of things to say like these but all I can come up with now is

You know you're addicted when you start tallying your figs wins, and figure out how to calculate "batting averages."

i think the breaking wind one refers to poison.

- You're watching the Justice League and you watch Solomon Grundy wallop Superman in to a wall and think, "Okay that's 1 click of damage plus 1 click of knockback damage"

Indeed, and the fact that I do not know what (REV) level of Solomon and Superman it is frustrates me to no end.

- You stand inside a shrub and dare your pals to hurl objects at you while you yell, "Go ahead, it's blocking terrain when I'm in here"... You eventually stumble out of the shurb with a black eye.

Its around this time you must face the awful truth... despite all logic, both you and V Batman do not have the Batman team ability.

- When playing basketball you fall victim to a fake move, "Maaan, outwitted again"

That's when you start swinging elbows, and hope your opponent loses that ability after a few clicks of damage.

- You're little brother or sister is annoying you, so you just pick them up and put them under your arm making a succesfull capture move, "Target captured"

Capturing is easy. Carrying him to your starting position before someone makes you drop him is the hard part.

- You wake up in the middle of the night screaming for your very own Wonder Woman figure

Or those dreadful nightmares you have of entering a booster tourney and all the packs you get are filled with nothing by rookie thugs.

Thats gotta be some of the funniest material I've heard since I got the 100 rules of being a mad dictator e-mailed to me!

That one's easy. Superman is the vet version as he is a member of the Justice League. Grundy is the experienced version as he's in the Injustice League. All you need to do is check the team symbols on the figs!

Good list! Funny!

How about while watching the Daredevil movie every time DD dodges something you say he hit his super senses roll. Or when Elektra and Bullseye are fighting you're yelling at the screen 'get up close! Bullseye sucks in close combat!'

Or at the end of the day when your significant other asks you how work was you tell her what happened on HCRealms.

Busted! I've actually done that one before. :D

Trouble is that e-mail was sent to me a good couple of years ago. It's long since been consigned to the oblivion of cyberspace. I must admit though, since reading your post I've discovered myself and my clix playing friends have started thinking in clix! The other day I was considering stopping in at the local pub for a couple of pints. Until I realised that it would cost me 2 clix to my liver (unsoakable since I'd had nothing to eat!) and 1 to my wallet for pushing! My flat mate has also started doing it. He's admitted that he no longer thinks of the taps as hot and cold. Now he refers to them as veteran and experienced. And he's a university psychology student!! I think we're both beyond help.

When you and your buddies pitch in to buy an old postal mailbox and paint ti to match the brand spanking new Plastic Man LE from WWE.
