S.W.A.T. Officer, the next Firelord?

[Jay10]

S.W.A.T. Officer isn't the next Firelord, but I do think he gets the prize for being the most over priced figure in Hero Clix(not that I really care). Will someone please explain to me how he can be worth 18 or more points or why he would ever be used over any other S.H.I.E.L.D. figure?

Well, the incapacitate makes him cost that much. Why would you use him? Most SHIELD figures aren't heavy on the defensive stats, since they are just ordinary Joes doing their job. Incapacitating the enemy is probably one of the more effective defensive strategies for a SHIELD team.

I like that answer much better than mine. change mine to that one

Nah. I'm pretty sure he just sucks. He'd be decent if he had a ranged attack, even if it was 4. Or possibly even 2. But he doesn't, so he stinks. How many times will this figure be b2b with a figure with Invulnerability? I'd guess that 9 times out of 10 that figure was either taxis there, of you put the SHIELD guy in his way; in either case, he'll get hit before he can Incapacitate anyway. Now if he had a range he might be useful. Plus you could use the SHIELD ability with his attacks. As it is, he's the only guy on the whole team that can't benefit from his own team ability. I can't think of a single reason why I'd pick him over anyone else in SHIELD for my team.

Surely it's the other guy who is the next Firelord, he has RCE too!
