Nightcrawler, Bullseye, Bane, just with those three, it makes martial artist a powerhouse

I gotta go with "Robot". Lots of generics makes it easy to form some great theme teams. Also some great big guns: Ultron, Luthor & Brainiac, Air-Walker, Amazo....etc.

^^^^ QFT

Martial artist? seriously? hey Bullseye, meet my little pal THANOS :devious:
martial may have the biggest roster, but by no means the most powerful.

edit: oops....i read most power, not most strength. so i'll have to change my answer to......COSMIC!

by the way joe....stealth doesn't trump everything....Pulse Wave does. and a lot of Cosmics have PW :devious:
o and some Cosmics even have HSS...which also trumps stealth ;)

On an average basis, Gotham City. Stealth trumps everything other Cosmic Spidey and Nightcrawler.

hmmm, generic keyword its dont even tematic, nightcrawler and bane, dont see anything in common really, and if youll put to compete in this pull generic keywords with non generic, gotham city? you should made a pull with non generic keywords (i mean real keywords) and how about to do tematic team with same team symbol, i mean its absurd that you cant put together in a themed team with bane and the joker, and you can put together bane with captain america (martial artist), and for me the best keyword is avenger. and i doesnt even play with them.

Scientists as far as I'm concerned. Because you can make some ridiculous teams with Scientist - or make Scientist teams ridiculous with a little thing I like to call "Mr. Fantastic is a Brilliant Tactician".

They did change Brilliant Tactician to work off of Keywords now, didn't they?

Where's the Morlock option?

In depends on the restrictions and the build total.

Well...Shazam/Black Adam, Jason Blood, Scarlet Witch x2, was the Mystical Team that won Nationals right?

Geez, with the addition of Green Lantern and DeadShot to Gotham City, they do have the potential to be a pretty nasty theme team now!

Martial Artists is definitely a nasty group to contend with and I think Nightcrawler helps bump them above the rest!

I wanted to say Gotham at 1st. But the scientist keyword just has so much going for it imo. All the outwit and perplex means a world of difference. The Mr. Fantastic, Dr. Doom, Iron Man, Spiderman, Flash, and so many other make it the most poweful i think.

Scientist. The reason is two words: Dr. Manhatten.

For field stats, in the current Forum Team Building Contest (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=300148), almost a third of the teams built for the game are Martial Artist theme (15/48).
8 of the 48 are Gotham City theme.
But lso a fair showing from Avengers, All-Star Squadron, and Justice Society.

Even if my counting is off by one or two, it's a runaway for Martial Artists.
Check it out. Everyone's welcome to vote. First round voting ends on Friday.

Let's see...

Bullseye, Captain America, Bane, Nightcrawler, Iron Fist, The Question, Bronze Tiger, Deadpool... have to give it to Martial Artist.

I voted for Martial Artisit but Scientist is my favorite. I just think all things being equal martial artist tend to have more offensive pieces. I will say built/played right a Scientist team could beat just about anyone but even the lowliest martial artist type pieces (Hand ninjas for example) are more offensive and present a threat than the lowliest scientist pieces (researchers.)

Then you have Icons Exp Batman or as I like to call him Batman Norris who is both, therefore, rules all!

Martial Artist by far. It was the first one that came to mind before I even read the choices.

Either Martial Artists or scientists. Voted martial artist because of the way the keywords been thrown around lately. Sure Cosmic is more powerful per figure, but they're also twice as many points on average. MA's are getting to be hyper-efficient these days.

Mystics, obviously. Whether it be with Rookie Origin Shazam! or the Shazam!/Black Adam duo. The keyword is a proven winner.

HoT Cap is massively overrated. His attack value just isn't reliable enough.

The question that was posed was the keyword that has the most clix in play, and not what is the best keyword. I think Martial Artist has the most, if we, only count figures from non-retired sets, but that also needs clarified.
