Hot off WizKids' Facebook page, we bring you two flavors of Superwoman ... and they are both delicious!

Good stuff. All I need now is a new Krypto and Brainiac and this will be the best set ever!

Both of these girls are Damage bringers for a fairly cheap amount. That mid dial HSS on Lucy is going to catch some people by surprise.

Like them, but could have done without them if Brainiac 5 got cut for them.

Both are interesting, but not earth-shaking. Hope WK/NECA changed the AE mechanmic for Lucy similar to Beast Boy's Morph, where pushing damage does not result.

It's not an AE dial. It's a dual-costed rookie and experienced dial, ala All-Star Superman, Black Adam and the CA Gravity feed generics.

Lois is a great combo of an underpowered Superman and the Origin chase. Unless you really want to drop 45+ clams on a 17 point support fig that is only effective on Wildcard teams, go with the Common "Super" Lois for much less. WK did an excellent job of including Common secondary attackers for reasonable point costs in this set.

Lucy made the cut! :)

It's now almost possible to run an effective team of multiple Kryptonians/Superpeople for under 1000 points!

its nice to see a superman TA on lower point clix. its managable to create a 300pt superman team which would be nice, then only being able to grab only one that cost well more then half the points and have to grab weaker characters to fill the points.

Well it's not like the CA Gravity Feed generics though. They are two different characters on one dial. You don't get to play both of those dials as there is a "KO" dial splitting them. These you get to choose to play the Vet/Exp/Rook versions and if you choose the higher one then you play through to the end of the dial.

Another multiple point dial.

love 'em.

anyone else miffed that the "All Star" Version of Superman looks nothing like Frank Quietly's rendition of him?

I hope they go all the way with the All-Star Lineup and give us "the unknown Superman"

Yes, Unkown Superman (mummy head) and DC 1mil Superman please. The 5th dimension Superman would be awesome as well. Hell, just make everyone from All Star Superman. I loved that series.

I like these new figures. I think it would benefit Heroclix much more if they would print alternate versions of our favorite characters like Superman instead of 20 normal versions.

Lucy Lane is a 75 pt. Mystical with hyperbolic speed and super strength who has the potential to regenerate back to full. I think its possible to win with her.

I'm thinking Red Son might be a chase... Anybody agree?

I just read the origin of Superwoman on the back of the card.

(Sigh... )

Bafflingly pathetic. The costume loosk pretty good. The clix looks pretty good. But who came up with this origin? It's like they were TRYING to make it bad. What is wrong with these people?

Which one? The Lucy one seems fine, and the Lois one is a deliberate hommage to 1960's Superman stories, which were corny yet charming.
