Here is the team I am looking to beat in the upcoming 700 Points IG Modern Tournament:
Thanos (gg049) 350
Doppleganger (ws62) 93
Mole Man (gg026) 47
Lex Luthor (sm015) 109
Watcher (G005r) 50
51 pts still free
Thanos pulls in the two biggest characters, place both characters in the 'Kill Box'. Doppelganger flurries 3 times (6 attacks for 5 damage (3 Base +2 Perplex apiece)). Doppleganger first attacks on his own, once with Lex using Doppelgangers 'Minion SA', and once with Mole Man using mind control. With two outwits, two perplex, and the ability to place the figures how you want them, the team can deal a huge amount of damage before the opposing team can even take an action against him. The Watcher provides a huge blocker for anybody who cannot get through him.
Not really sure how to deal with this sort of team given how quickly it does damage, the inability to counter Thanos' movement SA, and the simple fact it can easily kill my two biggest characters before I have a chance to target.
A few characters who seem like they would be effective are as follows.
Earth Man (sm023): His SA does not stop Thanos, but it stops Doppelganger from using Flurry. He can also copy the Mystics TA.
In-Betweener (ig002): Power Cosmic TA, reduces the damage effectively and pays damage back in spades with his double Mystics trait. With the Soul Gem he can heal a few clicks of damage back.
Loki (AVM211): Similar to the above, though not as effective.
Thor and Loki (ha057): Invulnerability as a trait, plus Mystics. Combined with a potent close combat ability, they can certainly grind out some damage.
Thanks for your help.
