What power's will Manderin have?

[kraven]

Well, by now we all know that Manderin (Ironman's Arch Enemy), will be in the set, so What powers will he have in heroclix?

He has ten ring's, and these are the only rings i remember:

Ice Ring: Probaly Incapacitate

Fire Ring (what would that be)

well cant remember the other ones, but how will they fit all those powers in, Will there be new power's WHO KNOWS?

[metzgarob]

i agree in that i am curious as to what his dial will be like i dont remember all of what powers he had but i do know he had alot of them

[mark6574]

My guess is that he will be a figure sort of like Dr. Strange in that he has many colors of the rainbow all over his dial.

Ice Blast - Incapacitate
Black Light - Incapacitate, Barrier
Mento-Intensifier - Mind Control, Psychic Blast
Disintigration Beam - RCE
Electro Blast - RCE
Vortex Beam - Flying, Force Blast
Flame Blast - RCE, Explosive Shot
Impact Beam - Pulse Wave, RCE, TK
White Light - nothing really... just can make any type of light
Matter Rearranger - Perplex, Poison


That's pretty much what I could gather. I would consider giving him Willpower because he has a psionic link to his rings which help him keep going. He could also have Toughness or Invulnerable for some clicks because his skin is hardened to callus. He could also have CCE because it says he can put a small force field around his body and hit with such force that it can even dent Ironman's armor.

i don't really think he should have RCE... probably perplex to demostrate all his ring arsenal.

-SPOON!-

I disagree... his disintigration beam literally destroys all the bonds between the atoms and molecules of whatever he is shooting. I think that gives him the ability to do some extra damage at range for a click or 2. Also, the impact beam hits with the force of 350 pounds of TNT. That should produce some hefty pain. I don't think he should have it his whole dial, but a clock or 2 like Dr. Strange would be accurate. Also, the heat from the flame ring and the shock from the electr-ring have no known limit to how hot or how high of a voltage they can go to.

Matter Rearranger Heh, its great when you can look at a character and know just by his powers that he was created in the 60's.
Mento-Intensifier indeed. :cool:

[Melkoloran]

I always loved Mandarin. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing his sculpt.

[aceoswords]

maybe he should have psychic blast. just to represent his ability to deal damage despite armor (not that he's a psychic or anything though).

I listed Psychic Blast already under the Mento-Intensifier ring. :D

Such original names they used back then eh?

Yup, Black Light was really for his cool posters. One of them was really a mood ring, and another converted into a bong.

This is like the fifteenth thread that speculates on what the Mandarin's powers will be. I've been keeping close tabs on them...because I wrote the first...way back in December. Check it out here:

I doubt you'll find a more in-depth character examination. Actually you might...but you won't find another that took me so long to write, so check it out just to justify my nerdy, pro-Mandarin ranting...or something like that.

He should really be a unique suisse-army knife a'la Dr. Doom and not a REV figure I think. He could just have SO many different abilities; most of his rings potentially represented by multiple different powers

Ice Blast : Incapacitate
Black Light : Dunno so much on what this means; black light's somewhat of an oxymoron. Incapacitate, force blast
Mento-Intensifier : Psychic Blast, Mind Control
Disintigration Beam :Ranged Combat Expert, Psychic Blast
Electro Blast :Energy Explosion, Ranged Combat Expert
Vortex Beam :Ranged Combat expert or a few clicks of higher damage
Flame Blast :Energy Explosion
Impact Beam :Force Blast
White Light :Incapacitate, Force Blast
Matter Rearranger :Incapacitate...

Ok, I guess incapacitate's just a given for him.

As for defensive abilities though, he could warrant willpower or mastermind; more likely mastermind.

And then on damage he could warrant outwit or perplex I think. Those are all from his eeeeevil mind, no rings involved.
