Here's my take on the Legion's Vet forms:
Cosmic Boy Legion of Super-Heroes Flying Range:10 Arrows:1 Vet Points: 98
Movement: 10 9 8 8 7 6
Attack: 10 9 8 7 7 6
Defense:16 16 15 14 13 12
Damage:3 2 2 2 2 1
Saturn Girl LSH Flying Range:8 Arrows:1 Vet Points: 82
Speed: 8 7 6 6 5 4
Attack: 8 7 6 5 5 4
Defense: 16 16 15 14 14 13
Damage:2 2 2 2 1 1
Livewire LSH Flying Range: 10 Arrows:1 Vet Points: 93
Speed: 10 9 9 8 7 6
Attack:10 9 8 76 5
Defense: 16 16 15 15 14 12
Damage: 2 2 2 2 2 2
That's my take on the founders. Thoughts/ideas are welcome. I'll prolly be back with my take on some of the others, especially Ultra Boy soon!

And here's my Ultra Boy, as promised:
Ultra Boy LSH Range:6 Arrows:1 Vet Flying Points:93
Speed: 7 10 10 9 8 7 7
Attack: 7 9 10 9 8 7 6
Defense: 14 17 16 15 13 18 17
Damage: 2 2 2 3 2 1 1
After his first click, each click represents a different one of his powers (super speed, energy blasts, super strength, super breath, invulnerability, and super senses, respectively), since he can only use one power at a time.
Live Wire should not have leadership. RCE the whole way. Saturn Girl shouldn't have Willpower, since any damage will take her past her good clicks. Super Senses lets her have a chance at no damage, at least. Cosmic Boy looks good, but I'd have 1 more TK. Ultraboy looks good. He is hard to cover, but you managed.:grin:
Being a die-hard, Legion of Super-Heroes fan (I own all of the Archive Editions, as well as the trades, and the early 80's pre-Crisis and mid-80's post-Crisis issues), those seem pretty good.
How about some other Legionnaires...
Mon-El (my favorite)
Lone Wolf a.k.a. Timber Wolf (another favorite)
Brainiac 5
Bouncing Boy
Light Lass
Shadow Lass
Shrinking Violet
######## Boy
Star Boy
Sun Boy
Triplicate Girl, a.k.a. Duo Damsel (that's a tough one, seeing how there is three or two of her)
Dawnstar
Invisible Kid I
Ferro Lad (the pre-Crisis one who died)
Karate Kid (close combat expert from hell)
Just some ideas. Maybe WizKids will listen...But I doubt it.

Thanks for the comments guys. JayThor, I think that Livewire should have leadership because I think all of the founders were leaders at some point, but I guess you could debate how good a leader he was. I think that in Legion Lost, Saturn Girl proved she deserves Willpower, keeping the team together, and more than anyone, perservering, even in the face of continued tragedy. i think you could even argue she deserves Mastermind, for the way she manipulated everyone, even if it was for the greater good.
And J Grim, your wish s my command. Here's Brainy:
Brainiac 5 Vet Range:6 Arrows:1 Flight LSH Points: 78
Speed: 8 7 6 5 5 4
Attack: 9 8 7 6 5 5
Defense: 16 15 14 13 12 12
Damage: 2 1 1 1 1 1
Force Blast, Impervious, and Barrier all represent Brainiac's manipulatable force feild, as does his range. Support and Outwit refelct his high level intelligence.

Oops! I forgot to add in Brainy's team ability (which is guess is an average of the MOD ability and Spider-Man team ability). All in all, he comes out to around 83 or 84 points.

So now that they're released, how do you guys think I did?

I realize that Ultraboy can only use one super ability at a time. However your dial seems to limit which ones he chooses.
Follow my logic. Ultra boy should have multiple powers per click. It seems to me he can get tough when an attack comes his way. So he should have toughness. He can turn around and blast the attacker with an energy blast. So since Heroclix is a turn or an event at a time for the most part it is not betraying the character's nature to have a click with Toughness & RCE.
I know there are some problems like combining Hypersonic & Super Strength. But it could be argued Ultra Boy zips on up, uses super strength pops the guy with a dumpster then zips away. Granted I am an extreme novice on the Legionnaires. I have only recently gotten interested thanks to Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, & Lightning Lad being in Cosmic Justice.
I am more the Marvel fan. However I love young teams such as Young Justice, New Warriors, Slingers, Teen Titans, etc. . .
Just food for thought. . .
Thwipp!

Thwipp! I agree. He switches powers so fast that he should have choices on each click, like Crimson Dynamo, who I use with my mod of Ultraboy.
