Magneto!

[Hubbard]

Do you think his team ability will be the x-men, brotherhood, or both?
What will his keywords be?
Will he be +200pts? I personally would like to see a 150-180pt Mags.

[Darth Sabre]

He'll probably have the BoM TA and the following Keywords:

X-Men, Acolytes, Brotherhood of Mutants, Hellfire Club

But a Dual TA wouldn't be out of the question.

I just hope they are creative with his powers, so I expect more trait and SP than the standard TK and ES/D.

Magento can control one of the primal forces in the universe..he should be quite powerful and spendy.

I'll talk Magneto with ya.

Here's what we know. He's going to be a super rare and the sculpt is the traditional costume surrounded by a magnetic field.

That means he's going to be most likely a high cost Brotherhood/ X-Men piece. He will have a trait for sure, and he will carry more than one special power.

We can only speculate on if the Brotherhood or X men will get an alternate TA, or some game mechanic will alter the present known course of the figure. If they plan to make him the leader of the Brotherhood or a strong member of the X-Men we are looking at over 150 for sure.

Keywords should be , Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, X-Men, Acolytes, Ruler, Hellfire Club. I would be pleasantly surprised if they included Savage Land.

Team Ability should be Both X men and Brotherhood honestly. Perhaps with an option to choose your loyalty. I would love more Acolyte characters and then an alternate Acolyte team ability which creates a Magneto faction dynamic. But it depends on what they include in the set.

So what would that trait be? I'd love to see them play a bit on his ability to move mutants around like chess pieces, something that would foil Prof X's Cerebro SP. His helm should block mind control, and potentially he should have some kind of Perplex and Outwit combo. Then of course his bread and butter is Telekinesis. That leaves huge potential, all of which will drive the cost of him up a bit.

SP's can also be nasty. Magneto has the ability to be a strategist or a crushing force of nature. Most likely the SR will have an equal representation of both.

I'm with you all the way, I want something that I can play in the 150 to 190 range. Anything cheaper than that could be a disappointment given the huge potential of the character and his long awaited debut to the modern age of clix.

Would it be stingy to want two different versions of him one with xmen and one brotherhood. Xmen one could be under 150 and be a leader type piece with support powers outwit, perplex maybe even support. The brotherhood one could be the offensive beast he usually is when facing off with the xmen, somewhere between 175 and 200 points.

Dear Wizkids,

I can think of no reason you should not pretend Ultimate mutants do not exist. Thank you.

[Carbon Rod]

Ole' Erik should be points heavy and hopefully live up to it. I'd love to see him with a trait that he can't be the target of a mind control attack or even take it a step further that he ignores damage dealt from penetrating/psychic blast characters who have the "psychic" keyword.

An SP where he can use both ESD and Impervious or Invun (Force Fields), another that's a free use of TK if he has no action tokens (Master of Magnetism), and then some kind of perplex/leadership combo where he can use perplex normally or do a +2 or -2 to any stat other then damage to a character with the "Acolyte" keyword (Discipleship). And of course, Indomitable.

But I am extremely excited about this set. Once I get over DC 75, my excitment will amp up in the next few months.

It's obvious that Magneto should be pushing 200 pts... so is this why I'm worried we could get the current version who's powers were substantially reduced since getting his powers back.

[rorschachknew]

I want a sp like : tk + rip it up.
or a better idea.

[Hubbard]

I think 2 Magnetos would be cool. Powerhouse Rare and a less powerful Erik Lehnsherr LE. Or something like that.

[DeadpoolDX]

To me Mangneto should be pushing 200 pts if not over. He needs to have a Trait with Invuln and ESD along with shared ESD similar to Karolina Deans SP. He should be immune to Mind Control and Psychic Blast from Psychics. As much as I don't really use the power, Leadership is also a must for him. Outwit/Perplex would be nice but perplex wouldn't be needed if you play him with Fabian Cortez. I could also see a barrier type power where he can place a barrier marker and any character adjacent to where the marker is placed is knocked back 1-2 squares. This could be similar to what was mentioned earlier with the TK + Rip it up SP.

[M.Drake]

Powers that work with keywords Armor and Robot!!!!!!

[Mokole]

and characters named Wolverine!

[VanisherPunisher]

And of course, Indomitable.

Which we know he won't be.

200+ points both TA's
keywords - Brotherhood, X-men, Ruler, Psychic
Theoretically they could represent his vast power level with the Heralds of Galactus TA
All will bow before The Master of Magnetism - it's all in the name, eh?

[Suttkus]

His cost and TAs aren't visible in the pictures we've gotten of him, but it looks like his attack is 12...

[Trump]

I think he should be a chase figure!
