Wow, what a fascinating dial design! I don't know how Pluto has appeared in the comics, but this gives the impression of having a facade that he's fighting to keep up, before he's finally too weak and just caves to his actual self!
And third up we have Pluto! Also the store that gave me the info wanted me to mention them. It's Excaliber Comics in Etobicoe, Ontario. Enjoy!

Speed - Minions of the Dead: Give Pluto a power action and roll 1d6. If the result is less than his damage value, you may distribute healing to other friendly characters equal to the result. (NOTE: So, if Pluto rolls a 3, he can distribute that 3 among friendly characters however he chooses.) Defense - Lord of the Dead: Pluto can use Mastermind and Regeneration.
Serious improvement, not just in making the guy more playable but in making him feel unique. I still expect to see that Minions of the Dead ability.

Hmm...one of the most significantly changed dials so far as he loses primarily in the Defense powers department.

Edit: Beaten to the punch as I tried riding out - horribly so - the Realms-quake.

"What part of "Phnglui mglw'nafl Cthulhu R'lyeh w'gah nagl fhtagn!" don't you understand?"
Hm, here's an interesting dial. I'm pretty sad that he loses his MM power on the back end as it had great synergy with his healing SP.
I dig the Enhancement for his undead minions, however.
It could be that I just read the newest Incredible Hercules Hardcover but it just feels like this dial is missing something... hmm.
"Come on Hulk! Where's the old boasting? The battle cries? Why aren't you bellowing about how you're 'the strongest one there is'? Could it be because... you know it's not true?"
"No. Because it's just too obvious."

It does seem a bit fragile for one of the three ruling deities of the Greco-Roman mythos. I'd hoped to at least have his infamous Helm of Invisibility worked in there somewhere.

You really think the new dial is an improvement? I'd rather have the leaked dial (above). More damage avoidance, better powers on the back end, and just seems more like "Lord of the Underworld" to me. I must be missing something...
CarlosMucha: that is like be running in a Olimpic race competition just one step to get the gold and then a Giant children place a mirror in your side and you discover what you are really a hamster over a whell and the gold is just a slice of chess.
I can see that Steal energy on click two being a real problem (HT Parasite flashbacks). It's unlikely you'll ever want to give up impervious, although I suppose he'll be smacking somebody for 4 damage in order to lose it so perhaps they may be too hurt to deal with him afterwards... not on this set though. His defense, at least compared to all of the other Gods we've seen, seems very low.
His playability in my mind hinges on how good his late dial special power is.
If they had simply removed the steal energy from click 2 and put it on click 6, he would be a much better figure.
