Le3 Dr. Doom

[jsimon514]

I won a Dr.Doom LE3 and i think i got a miss print on the dial .
on his 3 first click he got Pulse wave instead of energy explosion .

His there a mistake in the warrior section ?

I also have a Doctor Doom with Pulse Wave up front. Makes it weird cuz if you want to PW, you also end up hitting your meatshield that you have been carrying (and you SHOULD be carrying a meatshield, preferably R. Sandman or R. She-Hulk). Luckily, your meatshield should have defensive powers to protect against that.

Since Warriors is only listing Doom as having 2 first clix of EE, post for stats on him so the list can be corrected.

It's clearly the yellow of Pulse Wave, not the orange of Energy Explosion.

Thanks FJ--looks like only the EE is errant at Warriors.

You're right... I checked AFTER I posted. Had I known only the PW was wrong, I could have saved a whole bunch of typing. :(

I think it's a misprint. Some printing runs have been missing a color in the past. Here's how it works for everybody who doesn't know:

They print in CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK) color. In order to make the orange of EE, Yellow and Magenta are printed together. It could be that the Magenta ink was out or that it just wasn't printed as in the case of many vet riddlers who appear to have support and barrier instead of the normal perplex and mastermind.

It could be.

I doubt that he has pulse wave.

[Funky Jett]

All the other colors are correct, so why would just one be wrong?

[LuckyJ]

dunno. I'm a color expert, don't ask me to be logical! :rolleyes:

[Tsannik]

LE Dr. Doom is supposed to have two clicks of Pulse Wave for his first two.

If they messed up the color on that... then his toughness would also have a messed up color.


Funky... see the Pulse Wave follow-up I posted on that one thread?

[Funky Jett]

No, but I will check it now. BTW, thanks for your support on my behalf. You deserve lots of praise for your work on HCR.

Thank you.

Hey Lucky:

I'll check through with my printer's loupe when i get home, but I think only Hypertime was printed with CMYK. The Marvel dials look like PMS colors to me, as there is no visible screening on colors that can't be created by overprinting 100% values of the process colors: grey, purple, orange, dark blue, brown. This is where DC got into trouble: since WK used screened black instead of Pantone ink for the grey color, with the atrocious line screen they printed at it ended up still looking too black.

Like I said, I will look closer with my loupe to make sure I'm not wrong. But being in the printing biz, the Marvel dials look like Pantone inks to me.
