i cheap superman enemy that'll work wonders with a wildcard. he wrecks superman if used right. i love how he can hit any figure in the game, and after taking a hit, hits through reducers. i love outwit that u can't outwit.

He's certainly difficult to play and easy to turn into a pile of dead points, but he's durable Poison with quite decent stats, so he'll work a good amount of the time. I can't help but feel like he deserved straight-up penetrating damage Poison and/or Poison that reached out two or three squares, but I'm just happy to see playable Superman villains.

He is a great figure so long as you pair him up with SI Mr.Fantastic. Keep his defense perplexed to 19 and watch the frustration as you make your opponent's proud $135 piece a earthbound waste of dough.

Where's the Metropolis keyword? Come on, guys!!!

If this piece would have been released in the upcoming Superman set, he would have gotten a lot more love. Pulling him in sealed would really have been exciting, knowing that your chances of getting to use that special power to neuter your opponent's team were pretty good. As he is, he pretty overcosted for what he does. He has unimpressive attack and damage values, with no range and only moderate defense. Superman Enemy TA is nice, but he's just too expensive if you're using him just for that. No non-generic theme keywords is the final deathblow, condemning him to the bottom of your tacklebox where he will forever keep weepy-eyed company with your old Hypertime Superman figures.

use him now with armor piercing and the kal-L black lantern ...he's a must play with Darksied or any number of the kryptionians floating around...

Played him this past weekend in an IG month 2 format. He accompanied Prof X and his AIM rengades (scientist keyword theme for sure). K-man here completely shut down two 150 pt supes on two different teams and a Kryptonian keyword theme with Eradicator, Steel, Superboy, Supergirl, and E1 chase supes. That -3 to movement and Earthbound and non-reducible poison is brutal to Superman and friends! He even took out a Leech, Silver Banshee and Mysterio and put the finishing touch on a White Lantern Sinestro with his poison. Nobody expected to see this piece and nobody expected it to do well; his presence on my team caused my first opponent to underestimate me (big mistake with Chuck back there), letting me set up a big double arrow mind control of Black Bolt and Air Strike Ross without him paying attention to it until it was too late! This piece achieved everything I hoped it would that day: Damage without dice, clean up, tie up, Superman nerfing, and 'underestimate-me-at-your-peril" Jedi Mind Trick.
