Bats looks great but i don't likie the Running shot+Psychic Blast on him. Other than that i think its fine. And he needs come esd or combat reflex. To many open defense squares.

Ultraman is perfect. fry from range then beat everyone up.

Plastic man is likewis excellent

I like open defense squares on Batman, because it reminds us that, whilst he's great at fighting (as the high numbers suggest), he's still just human.

I Dont know about the 1st click but is being on batman ally just for the TA? I thing toughness fits him just fine he really dont need much better than that. other than that I love the dial. Has a lot of mix and match powers really shows how unpredectable he really is in a fight.

It's to portray the fact that he knows he's in a comic.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but... what die rolls can be rerolled? All I'm coming up with is the roll for the Earthquake BFC and the roll to determine first player. :p

- Event dial rolls.
- Battlefield condition rolls.
- Rolls to do with team abilities (Kingdom Come / Hypertime for example)
- Rolls to do with traits.
- Rolls to do with feats which aren't contingent on powers.
- Rolls to decide who's in the right when a rule is disputed (:p)

etc etc.

Attack values are a bit looooooooooooooow.

Sweet second click; it's spot on for Deadpool.

I really like that Batman. Good to see an anti-turtle version of him.

Nah - his was Prob and Outwit. Much more similar to the myriads of Batmans already produced.

I love the "Hiding in Plain Sight". I actually wish it was a trait (or he had more of it). The Trait you have seems rather brutal - but I guess kinda works. Just don't go targeting any Mystics or put any feats on the guy. He could blitz through his dial by mid-game.

It's actually 8 2/3, but I think they're pretty accurate numbers.

Attack - WEB TRICKS: Spider-man can use Incapacitate, Smoke Cloud and Telekinesis (but may only move objects and opposing characters within 4 squares, to squares within 4 squares; and may not move friendly characters).
Damage - WISECRACKS: Spider-man can use Perplex, but may only target opposing characters. Give Spider-man a power action. He may make an attack against an opposing character as a free action. This attack deals no damage; instead put a Wisecrack token on that character's card. When a character has a Wisecrack token on their card, they gain Battle Fury, but may make ranged combat attacks if they target Spider-man. When Spider-man loses Wisecracks, remove all Wisecracks tokens from all characters.
