Got a brick today and The Captain was one of the SRs that I pulled. Now I know nothing of Nextwave wasn't overly impressed on the figure and was considering trading it off.
Then we played our 3-way event.
Team 1: Cyclops and Wolverine/Colossas Duo
Team 2: Cannonball, Emma Frost, Roulette, Psylocke
Team 3: Rougue, The Captain, Roulette (My team)
Right off the bat, Cannonball charges The Captain and hits, but I make the Impervious roll. Try to hit back and fail.
We go back and forth a while with bad rolls and his failed break-aways.
Finally The Captain scores a hit for 4 and Rougue finishes him off.
Emma then Pyschic Blasts The Captain for a couple.
Meanwhile the W/C duo bases Psylocke and Cyclops finishes taking her out.
The Captain then gets the chance to charge and nails the duo. Retailiation falls short thanks to Impervious. Eventually Captain takes out the duo as well.
Rougue keeps Cyclops busy for a little while going back and forth until she is dead.
Team 2 Roulette was out of the picture at this point.
Emma and the Captain were in Melee. Quaked her into a wall for 3, putting her on Outwit. First Outwit, I rolled a 2 so normal Outwit, but attacke missed. Second Outwit, I rolled a 1 and became a sitting duck and got popped to my Earthbound with 2 Speed and Poison.
Next Outwit choice between Poison or Defense to go for almost kill. He chose Defense but rolled a Critical Miss. So that choice ended up costing Emma 2 clicks as The Captain Poisoned and then finished her off on attack.
So now The Captain (Earthbound with 2 speed, 6 attack, 14 defense) and Roulette against Cyclops 4 squares away.
The Captain goes 1 square (coming out of hindering).
Cyclops passes.

For a figure that seemed to be only frontloaded, his bizarre dial worked perfectly in this match.
If I never play him again, he has earned a spot on my shelf forever.
Night all.
