Well, i love Steel but for his powers and abilitys he's to cheap also, and sometimes i think they should have gave Superman steels dial!

I took out Vet Steel in one turn last time I played. Used only a Unique Joker and an Exp Bane. He's good, but he is no Firelord.

Explain how you did 9 damage to one model -- and the fastest flyer in the game at that -- with only those two models?

Your opponent would have had to make multiple stupid blunders for that to happen.

Clarification...
I didnt KO Steel, but wore him down pretty good...he was gone a few turns later not having done any real damage to any of my people.

Man Bat taxis in Joker, who outwits his toughness. Some other flyer brought in Bane, puts him next to Joker. Joker uses Banes attack (Batman enemy team ability) does two clicks of damage on him. bane attacks and does 5 (CCE). Steel only has two clicks left. I had Harley on the team (Batman enemy theme) and if I coulda perplexed somebody I could have possibly done more than the seven clicks I did.

No my opponent wanted to take the move back, so it isnt as easy as all that. My point: Steel is great but he isnt Firelord.

It can't be done with those two figures legally. I can get to 9 illegally with those two figures...

Bane with CCE = 5
Joker Perplexes up Bane's damage = +1
Critical Hit = +1
Knocks Steel off a building = +2

or

Bane with CCE = 5
Using a heavy object = +2
Joker Perplexes up Bane's damage = +1
Knocks Steel into a wall = +1

Both total = 9 damage, neither are legal.

I hate to tell you this, but that is not possible. CCE cannot be used with another power, just like RCE. So take away the perplex or CCE. And if you have an object then you won't be able to use CCE, but then you could use perplex which means 3 + 1(perplex) + 2 (Super Strength). The other problem is Steel won't take any damage when he falls off the building, because he is a flyer. Don't shoot the messenger, but hey nice thought.:(

My bad I didn't catch the legal message, doh.

Bane with CCE = 5, without but with a heavy and perplex = 6
Joker = 1 + poison on subsequent rounds + perplex from harley would be 2 or 3
Toughness outwitted, so poison will hit.

Assuming steels toughness was gone, and he was next to joker, he'd take a click of poison, get hit by joker, get hit by bane for five more for 7. Knockback into a wall with a crit would finish him

Aron: As Jett said, he can get to 9 <i>illegally</i>.

So, anyway, Jonn -- "I took out V Steel in one turn with just U Joker and E Bane" is a whole lot different from "I took out V Steel over multiple turns with U Joker, E Bane, and two taxis"

I mean, duh. Of course you did. Who couldn't take out any model with four figures totalling almost 250 points?

Steel...the next Firelord......get yer head outta yer a$$. Come on, dude....his DV is like 15-16. What a joke. I actually consider CT elektra more of a Firelord than Steel ( I call him ZButtMunch)
