the trait really helps the character out

Awesome! It looks as though a JLU Villains theme will be possible with this set!

I like the character and the clix is cool too.
Now I can't get AC/DC's Thunderstruck out of my head.
Thanks Wizkids :confused:
Wow. That sculpt didn't transfer from digital very well. Good power set though.

I don't think it is the sculpt as much as it is the paint job. I was going to abstain, but since you brought it up :laugh: Why is it so hard to get a good paint job on these?

Yeah, the card has much better cleavage than the fig!!! :cool:
Nice power set on the dial, though, helps make up for the lack of detail on the sculpt! :laugh:

I love Livewire so much. And the idea of a character who gets better AWAY from water is pretty clever.

She has a high attack!

Well, I guess they can't all be powerhouses. :laugh:
Pretty high damage if you can manage to stay away from water, though.

Wow, Livewire is REALLY good! Those stats are solid for the points, but her trait can make them amazing. Playable Superman villains make me happy.:classic:

She's great! Shame about the paint/job and/or sculpt, though.
Very nice, I've been waiting for her since the girls night episode of JLA :)

Agreed ... playable and reasonably costed! 75 points is a bargain for that 7 clix of fun!

great! and she's a common, so it'll be easy to get one. odd, the trait could have ben the other way around, but then perplex would have been too much fun. nice work

Absolutely fantastic! That trait is awesome and adds so much to her playability. Now if we can only get a decent Parasite out of this set... :)

The only thing worrying is for a 75 point figure to have a 16 Max defense
75 points and (at the right map) 4 Damage...
Cap figures just dream with that.
I like her a lot, now. Celebrity & Metropolis keywords close the deal.

How can you be a member of the Superman Revenge Squad,
and not get the Superman Enemy team ability?
What the heck are the qualifications for being a Superman Enemy these days????? I don't get it.
Otherwise, cool figure.
EDIT: Who would be the sisters with incredible powers to be previewed next?
michiganj24
08/10/2011, 20:01
Probably to cut down on price
as to the sisters
Money is on Superwoman (Lois from All Star) and Superwoman (Lucy from the regular verse)
Other ideas floated
Starfire/Blackfire
Thunder and Lighting (tieing in with JSA theme we seem to be having)
Hope and Mercy (Amazon "sisters")

But why cut down on price. How about reducing some of those powers.
This is the only version of Livewire that will EVER be made (99% sure), so if she's a Superman Enemy, give her the team ability.
Or is it only reserved for A-Lister Superman Enemies?

I like her a lot! Hopefully her figure will look better in person. Cause she was always real hot in the animated universe...

And just some quick research, it seems that Livewire was never in any Superman Revenge Squad except in the Justice League animated series.
That's quite interesting, because then it means on the surface that cartoons are canon for Heroclix purposes, possibly. :)

Not technically. I think what it is the figures are all comic versions but keywords can be more flexible (such as the LOD whose only regular universe appernace featured non of the usual suspects)

Understood.
I'm still sad that the Wonder Twins and Gleek didn't get the Justice League of America keyword at least. :( :( :(

Was never a fan of the character.
Good dial. Well designed. Efficient, but also the point value is believable (not skimping points on the trait).
Still, never did like her on the cartoon.

Now if we could only get Devil Ray!

prolly the superwomen since they'd meet 2 subthemes, though i'd prefer thunder & lightning for some outsiders/jsa love
IMO this is a pretty awesome piece for the cost.
On most maps she will do no less than 3 damage down her entire dial.
Attack is never below 9.
ESD up front means opponents will base her to hit her. Her Steal Energy a few clicks in with Inv are a good couple of clicks to get smacked into.
Even the option of double energy explosion is good to have.
Her defense may need some help but with defend to lend a hand that can be fixed.
Ultra lame character but that dial is a steal for the cost thanks largely to that trait. Free damage is always a good thing.

Why ultra lame? Just say: "I don't know the characther".

I hope all of these are made very soon
