Curious to know what everyone thinks about what kind of clik the Spectre would make? Also what would his dial look like. I read some of the mid 90's series and he seemed pretty powerful....just curious

I would hafta think theat the Spectre would be darn near close to 200 points.

Mystics team ability, ands its probably shorter to list the powers he won't have than to list the powers he might.

He Wont have: LeapClimb, CCE, RCE, BCF, Poison.

Pretty much everything else can have a case made for it.

Not that we'll ever know if hes in the next DC expansion or not before June.

Pre-crisis, he'd have an infinity symbol on every click, with Phasing or HSS, Willpower, and barrier, plus Outwit.

Ditto Valandar on this.
The Spectre has the ability to let you cut your opponents' figures in half with Giant Scissors, or melt them with the rays of the sun. That's what he did. The Spectre as a Clix figure is one of those things where people really want the little piece of plastic, but wouldn't really want to play against the figure. It's too unwieldy. The game isn't meant to be played on that cosmic scale. That's why there's no Galactus figure. It's too many points. Too high on stats, too deep a dial, and a rainbow of powers that don't really simulate what the character can do in the comics. It's the same with Mxyzptlk. If my choices are a watered-down, punchable Spectre as a heroclix figure, or none at all, I'll take door number two every single time it's offered to me.

Did somebody say 200 points? Try 2,000.

But if you DID want a playable version, you want to do something like this....
Start him with very high attack/defense numbers but low speed and damage(4/12/18/0). I mean, the Spectre doesn't run around and punch people much. But if you give him range 14, phasing, incapacitate, ESD/ and probability control down the dial for ten clicks, no flight no team and triple targeting... that's 212 points. He could incapacitate the bejeesus out of people and REALLY annoy you by re-running reality through probability control With each click his attack and defense go down; face it, you are really harming him, but he's becoming less interested in fooling around on our plane of existence. He'd have mystic of course. The only way to deal with him effectively would be incapacitate him into pushing.

Of course this would make the most effective team against him:
The Joker, Harley Quin, the Riddler perplexing up Black Manta's Incapacitate while Nightwing Outwits his probability control from a stealthed position and Catwoman outwits his incapacitate.

Which would be....uh...odd.
