Here goes.......be wary of spelling errors and misuses of ecilpses............
The best genarics yet. In Nightcrawler77's opinion.....
THIS LIST EXCULES MEDICS!!!!!!!!!

10.Intergang Agent
Two words: Team Ability. The intergang agent is expensive, but if you have anouther superman enemy on your team the agent can be priceless cause it grants you the all might OUTWIT!!!!!!! Otherwise it's not that specail.

9. Checkmate Agent
8 range.....2 arrows....sounds pretty apealing! On top of this he has smoke clould. He would have been ranked higher but he didn't have any team ability.

8. Metropolis SCU
The police ability is good, but unlike its Gotham counterpart this guy gets Toughness!!!!!! At the vet stage he has 2 clicks of toughness for only 21 points!!!!!!

7. Hand Ninja Ranged
An eight range with stelth and 2 damage is very impressive. Also it has the Hydra team ability to boost of the attack of anouther character.

6. Vampire Lackey
A close combat generic.....that can pack a good punch with B/C/F. Also it can regenerate itself with steal energy and regeneration. It would have been better if it had a team ability but.......

5. S.W.A.T Specialist
The S.H.I.E.L.D. team ability is very good, but on top of that you get a genairic that has three damage at a range!!!!!! Thats more than R Superman can do!!!!!

4. Con Artist
I have my own three "Godly Abilities" and Perplex is among them. For only 11 points at the rookie the Con Artist is very apealing. Who cares if you have to push her once!!!!

3. S.H.I.E.L.D. Sniper
10 range????? 9 attack, 2 damage and only 18 points!!!!!! This guy is a real steal. PLus he has the S.H.I.E.L.D. abillity to boost damage values of nearby figures.

2.Mandriod Armor
Again the S.H.I.E.L.D. team ability is very good, but this time you get TK, incompasitate and toughness. It can fling teamates across the board....attack and support your big attackers...all with a decent point cost.

1. Doombot
The only genairic flyer out there. He is one of the cheapest taxis around at 27 rookie, 33 exepirenced, 38 vetern. However, its main abuse comes from its wild card team ability. Use it to dupicate S.H.I.E.L.D. Batman or any other team abilities. Also they have toughness, EE and even leadership.

Post if you agree or disagree, which you probally will,but...:)
Feedback good for Nightcralwer77:)

You left out SWAT Specialists! They go pretty close to SHIELD Snipers in my book. Also, where's the Con Artists? Totally agree on Doombot in #1 spot, though.

Uhmmm...SWAT Specialist is ranked #5, and the Con Artist (really had to retype that, don't call her that every :p ) Was ranked at #4....

What about Paramedic, 7 attack at rookie (8 on vet) with two clicks of support. I predict that this character is already underated.

Shadowcat. Granted that the Doombot is a great cheap taxi, but I feel Shadowcat should be up there with Doombot. Phasing, Super Senses & the all useful X-men Team Ability.
With 28 at rookie, 31 experienced, & 40 for veteran. A small price jump for the tremendously useful phasing

Actually, lets look back. Doombot is an excellent OUTDOOR taxi. Very useful with Wildcard Ability at his disposal, EE, great attack and, yes, leadership. However, INDOOR MAPS are where you will find that Shadowcat will be an excellent piece when building a team.

Doombots at number 1-EXCELLENT choice. However, the street walkers, IM(HO), are a close #2. You cannot get more abusive, than what you get from the girls that (ho)ld the lampost up. You can have one of each on your team, for only 39 points!!!

Other than that, I would've ranked the Paramedics third, and the Intergang Agent 4th.

Secondly Shadowcat isn't a genaric!!!!!!!!

I know you said the list dorsn't include medics, but I would swap the Intergang agent with his medic counterpart (get all the support you can get.

Honorable mention should go to the SHIELD trooper for cheap Energy Explosion

I don't belive you've never pulled a Doombot but....
you don't know the abuse your missing out on.....:)
Shavo, yeah if this list would INCLUDE medics I would put in Intergang Medic over Intergang agent.
Also I was going to have SHIELD tropper as my honorable mention but I ran out of time to write the list.

Too expensive, even with the team ability. You need to buy 2, keep them close, all for a single dose of outwit in a set that is crawling with the ability. I'll pass on this one, IMO they don't belong on any top 10 list.

[/QUOTE]5. S.W.A.T Specialist[/QUOTE]

Solid figure, but the 6 range is a little weak.

[/QUOTE]4. Con Artist
I have my own three "Godly Abilities" and Perplex is among them. For only 11 points at the rookie the Con Artist is very apealing. Who cares if you have to push her once!!!![/QUOTE]

Having to push her means you have to assign 2 actions to her, the earlier the better. This hampers that initial critical deployment movement that is essential to gaining the initiative. IMO this is probably the one thing that keeps the street walkers from being broken. I wouldn't rank this one as high as #4, though.

[/QUOTE]3. S.H.I.E.L.D. Sniper[/QUOTE]

I'd only agree with the Veteran, and even then I've had second thoughts on what I used to consider an awesome generic. Why? Veteran A.I.M. Agent. 8 range, 8 attack on *2* clicks, 2 damage without the hassles of RCE (can thus defend at close range). Clearly a better choice than the Experienced S.H.I.E.L.D. Sniper, debatable with the Veteran. Given the ability to benefit from Enhancement and the Hydra team ability, a squad of 3 Veteran A.I.M. Agents backed by Psylocke would be a cheap and ugly squad to face down.

[/QUOTE]1. Doombot[/QUOTE]

Definitely with the Veteran, your mileage will vary with the others. The Veteran gives cheap leadership, which is truly an ugly thing in so cheap of a figure. That its a taxi with Toughness and Energy Explosion is just icing that is over the top. Dr. Doom builds his bots well...

[/QUOTE]Post if you agree or disagree, which you probally will[/QUOTE]

Definitely will, since its not like there's much choice left!
