the morlocks team ability

i think they should make a morlocks team ability. some of the x-men could be in them.

heck they could even do a morlock storm !

it should be poison in my opinion.

:grin:

Poison actually makes a lot of sense. The most accurate team ability would be that the figure gets a totally random power. I mean that was pretty much the whole idea of Morlocks when they were introduced -- you never knew what crazy mutant powers they had and often the mutant powers were totally useless.

But that's way too complicated and Poison could do a really good job of showing how you can just get overwhelmed by Morlocks. Another possibility would be the SHIELD ability but for close instead of ranged combat. I.e., adjacent Morlocks can pump up their damage in close combat. I'm thinking of the scene where Collossus gets mobbed by Morlocks and he think's he's fine because no "normal" human beings, even in a swarm, could possibly hurt him, but he's surprised by the ferocity of their attack and is eventually brought down. In this case, poison wouldn't work 'cause it can't penetrate invulnerability. A final possibility would be a direct copy of the Superman Enemy team ability. Again, that would represent a lot of random mutant abilities. Like outwitting RCE could be less an intellectual thing and more a "surprise, the guy you're targeting has the power to become temporarily invulnerable" thing. Or outwitting supersenses cold be "this guy has the mutant power to become temporarily invisible while attacking" or whatever.

I don't think they're gonna make any new team abilities, though, unfortunately.

Multiple poison hits at the same time. 1 poisoner b2b wouldn't go through, 2 wouldn't either, but a 3rd poisoner would be 3 damage for invulnerability to only be able to soak 2 of. If you get 7 poisoners on someone with Invulnerability, he's going down FAST.

I think that STEALTH would be a more accurate team ability for them since they hid out in the tunnels of NYC, and very few people knew that the existed down there. I haven't read X-men comics, since Inferno, so i have no idea what happened to them from that point on. But stealth definately should be a Morlock team ability.

Funny, I was just talking about this with a friend, a day or two ago. :P

I really like the Poison idea... after all, you would have to mob the HC Colossus to harm him. He could probably take out a Morlock with each attach, but eventually between regular attacks and the Poison they would wear him down - Just liek the comic. I really like this idea.
