Dear JonL,

I would first like to say I am very happy with the set of Xplosion, it has great characters and very fair representations of characters from the comics, I'm a huge X-Fan. My favorite character has been, and is, Iceman, and I was wondering what youe reasoning was behind making him the way you did. I agree with the Ranged Combat expert and barrier bu I must ask why he only has Incapacitate on his last two clicks, I would have thought he deffinetly would have it for all, if not most of his click. I say this because well Freezing people is what he does, its the basis of his powers. I don't even mind the fact he was lowly priced, although the fanboy in me would love a 100+ point plus version I see why he was made the way he was. I was just wondering why he was only given Incapacitate for his last two clicks where his attack is so low, 7 & 6, that it is barely a useable option. Thank you sir and keep up the great work.

I would like to say that if ideas for an LE Iceman were needed, Flurry with Incap. would be perfect for Iceman in my opinion for the fact that he is the premiere freezer in Comicdom and that this would be a good way to show it (ie, being able to double token someone in one turn Or possibly Incap. with 3 arrows.)

What about when he was able to ice himself really thick and got a great deal of superhuman strength out of it? I think a LE or his Veteran version should have a little Super Strength thrown in the mix!

I think Iceman is the fine the way he is. Sure hes done some amazing things with his powers, but he doens't them very much. FOr the most part he shots ice at people, rides on ice slades, freezes people and makes walls - all that is in his dial. Hes fine the way he is, just what the X-Men need, a cheap flyer and a cheap barrier figure - 2 in one.

With him and Shadowcat I think the X-Men have the best taxis in the game now. Both are cheap, one is also able to make barriers, the other has a great def. (17 with SS) and can phase. I plan to keep Shadowcat and Prof. X joined at the hip when I play my X-Men teams.
