Preemptive expert reviews help people make informed decisions even before they can get their hands on a booster/brick/case. Makes me feel like I've given back to the community.

wow that 16 def to start kills her... everything else is great, Flyer SuperS, SC, indom, running shot, but she is almost a for sure hit for anyone.

[gfishfunk]

@VenomDaBomb: the shape change helps, and the superstrength can also help, via tombstone or desk; imo that is the value of her superstrength, since she should not be swinging at folks with that running shot on her first click. That and hindering can help. If she gets based, her best bet is to hit her shape change roll and smack them with the object next turn.

Why couldn't she be one point less? Along with GSX Sabretooth and M&M Gambit, you would've had a pretty sweet little 300 point Marauders team. Oh well. I like her though, she has a lot of options depending on the situation. Sure, the defense does seem a little low but Shape Change and Indom make it go a little further, along with her 2 clicks of Regen.

[dariusq]

Blah. The dial itself isn't so bad but her stats do not back up the powers, especially at that point cost.

[Ricochet]

..shouldnt she have 'Hellions' ?

[Ricochet]

no wait, .. sori .. thats Karma.

She plays better then she looks. Useful all the way down the dial. Consistent attack and damage with nice range. If she had the 17 DEF clicks top dial and one more RS click she would really be tough. Weird police & x-men team abilities, also a nice set of key words. I think alot of people will underate this piece. She can fill alot of needs on a 300 or 400 point team, especially if you have a little perplex.

Slap on that Camouflage and keep her near madripoor's buildings, and blast away with the top-dial Running Shot... drop Cyke in along with some cuckoos to make a bad situation worse. if you wana break theme, sub in Elixir to heal even more for the cheap price of only having to heal Karima.

[rustyrazor]

With Camo, she can snipe away with indomidable, 3 dmg, 8 range and RS. Pick up a heavy, stay out of charge,TK range and dare someone to base you!

If she does eventually get hit, she has great options if she is based or at range.

[Gabellius]

Went to use mine for the first time... She's got Tabitha Smith's dial in there. And Wizkids has no real replacement program. Great. Any advice?

[spider_ham]

She's a slightly better (and more expensive) Victor Mancha. Interesting secondary attacker or support piece for a Robot or X-Men theme.

[The7ofDiamonds]

Her attack is decent, and her keywords are okay... but that's about all she has going for her other than the dual TAs.

[DeSaad]

GABELLIUS, find a jpeg of the dial and print it well with a good program and the glued on print out should be very high quality so it seems perfect. (Ive done this for two figures that had some naked defense clicks from fantastic forces) When you see that your le seems perfect, youll feel much better. Use better glossy paper for your print out too. Waterproof material d be great too, being of the heroclix standard nowadays. In fact, I found out that my unique Nova (with regen) was actually a cheat dial and I plied it off to reveal the honest Frankie Raye dial. You never know what kind of seller you re buying from in ebay... Point is... perfect quality dials re easy to reproduce...

[XFORCE1982]

Just wished she had one more click of Running Shot and opened with 18 def

[Sensualninja]

played her twice tonight. if you can get a couple of shape change rolls, she is worth it.

[XFORCE1982]

Not So Special on her is worth it

[saturnflight]

There's something delightfully retro about the dial design of this figure. And yet, she plays so well! The new movement to consistent stats and Indomitable for robots plays in her favor, and her Police TA is a rare commodity. Currently, the heavy hitter of a Marauders lineup and a respectable addition to the Acolytes; even the X-Men can benefit from her inclusion, using that Police TA to raise the often-unreliable attack values of cheap members. Downside is, of course, the defense- though Invulnerability and Shape Change will get you farther than you'd think.
