I always loved this character. This is suppose to represent his vampiric like form in the comics.

I gave him mind control for the first 2 clicks because he has been able to take over people's minds before in the past (He can also read them). He has psychic blast as well. Obviously he has steal energy, reflecting his need to feed off of psychic power (As he tried to do with X-Man). I also gave him telekinesis (He showed this when he tried to impersonate Magneto). The energy shield is suppose to represent his force shield. For the final touches I gave him leadership for 1 click (He actually just leads by fear), and 1 click of outwit.

Yeah, I too like Exodus, wherever he is these days, and I hope he gets the clix treatment some day. Good writeup, although seeing as he wasn't that much of a leader and would be on the Brotherhood team, I dunno if he needs/deserves Leadership.
Thats a pretty good representation of him. Good work. Didnt he lead the Acolyts(sp?) for a little while after Magneto got his mind wiped?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was at least Magneto's second-in-command with the Acolytes, so 1 click of Leadership makes plenty of sense. Great job with the figure! I' not a big Exodus fan (he's before my time mostly), but it looks like be would make a great Clix.

He is buried under several tons of rock currently. When X-Man defeated him he buried him underneath nearly an entire mountain side (They brought him back for some stupid new mutants isssue, so i don't know if he will come back. I hope that he does). I gave him leadership because he led the Acolytes for awhile, while Magneto was a mindless vegetable.
Good representation, but why Outwit?

Well he escaped death from Holocaust, and being captured from the X-Men on Genosha. I mean the guy was able to defeat alot of the x-men by himself, and survive a full on mind blast from Xavier. He still escaped though. I figured that he was able to get away due to having outwit.
Exodus is a favorite of mine, but I'm not too sure about mind control...I would give him phasing instead because of his ability to teleport. Also he should have invulnerability because that is a noted power of his. If there is a R/E/V then maybe one of those would have Leadership, because he did rule over the Acolytes with an iron fist. Such a bastard...I love em. Another bastard that needs to be made is Fabian Cortez...cheap enhancement/perplex.

Heroclix utilizes energy shield to represent a force shield. Hence the reason Magneto has an energy shield, and not invulnerability. I see your point about phasing though. I remember him teleporting before in the past. He has rarely shown that power though.
Well, my point wasn't that his power was to create force fields but rather that he is seemingly immortal and can not be harmed easily much like rogue.

There are several characters in the marvel universe that don't have invulnerability and are immortal (Some of the Eternals). Most of the people I have seen with invulnerability are heavy hitters (Juggeranut, Hulk, Thor, etc..).
On another note I quoted the wrong part earlier :p
Actually Exodus does use mind control on some people. I believe that when he was on Avalon he attacked somebody named Rusky. He also was in control of alot of the people on Genoshas emotions, and was using his power to influence them to fight (That is when Xavier pointed out that Exodus was a psi of the highest order, and was in control of the renegade mutants emotions). He can read your thoughts as well.
Oh, okay. I forgot about the whole psi thing...I usually just think of the blasts coming out of his eyes. On the whole invulnerability deal, I'm really just going on what Fleer's 94 X-men card set.(The ones with the grid and all of their powers listed)...It says Psionic Blasts, Teleportation, and Invulnerability...maybe I'm oversimplifying things.

Many people, good and bad, have escaped places before. Cyclops, Wolverine, Hulk, Superman, various Avengers, none of whom have outwit, have escaped maximum security places like the Vault. It just isn't necessary for Exodus.

That's all the better for me. That means his point cost is cheaper. :p
