We continue our series of previews for the Marvel HeroClix: 10th Anniversary set by checking in with the financial backer of, and a founding member of the Avengers, he is the Invincible Iron Man!

Wow Anti-Gauntlet trait. Wanted the gold armor for the old school one though, otherwise awesome.

Well, aren't those just a little bit of gorgeous...

That.

Is.

Perfect.

I want that NOW!

What a horrible piece. Next

Definitely want these. Two of the classic suit, one to repaint to the original golden suit.

Super excited for the 10th anniversary sets. Can't wait to see Captain america or Batman

More Iron Men??? Blah. :/

The modern suited Tony is a Gauntlet Buster? Stupid. It's like Kid Zoom Vs. Nightcrawler all over again.

2 more Iron Man figures to choose from. Way to use those slots wisely. I am a huge fan of heroclix but I am done with this. I am sick of seeing, Ironman, Captain America, and Thor, right along with all the new DC remakes. In a 24-51 figure set I don't want to see remakes consume 60% of the slots.

I might have to pick up the classic armor for the sculpt since I don't have that brick figure. I actually think it's neat that a classic armor suit has the "classic" lack of SP's (minus promotion mechanic of coarse).

The modern one is nice as well but I don't really need another version of that.

Love this Iron Man. Want him so bad! He's got everything the Chaos Wars ones lacked and then some! Also, finally a cheap Illuminati Iron Man!

Literally, he's got everything the Chaos Wars incarnations didn't all have, mashed into one. Flight, Indomitable, Sharpshooter sometimes, and badass support topping heavy offense with great numbers to boot. I know we got a ton of Iron Men, but this one takes the cake.

wow....

125 points, imperv, 5 damage, 10 attack, running shot psy blast?
He's better than victor mancha now... holy smokes...

You do realize this is the 10th Anniversary set, right? And, as such, it will be entirely remakes?

And, from a marketing POV, who does it make more sense to remake: Cap, Thor, and Iron Man? Or Boomerang, Constrictor, and Mojo?


I've got no problem imagining that this set isn't for everybody... but I am kind of surprised that you seem so upset about it

It isn't, because modern-Tony is actually really good just on his own. Holy balls! How do either of those dials cost so little?

Urgh. I dislike Iron Man as a character and I hate that mod-Tony's trait exists at all on anyone, but I guess I'll be picking one up to stay on top of the curve.

I like me some clunky Iron Man.

They are overdoing the "Avengers Prime" as bad as they did the GL's

The Battlefield Promotion mechanic has the potential to radically change games.

The 101-pt Iron Man 012 can Running Shot, dual target 2 opposing figures on Turn 1, either to Incap (my preference) or divide the 3-damage. Assuming both targets are hit, on a die roll of 6 you replace the figure with 225-pt 009 Iron Man on the same click #1.

EDIT: was advised a character can only get 1 BattPromo token per turn, I mis-read the mechanic.

We thought it was bad when GG Galactus brought in a Herald, all these BattPromo's have the potential to seriously unbalance the point totals of teams.

As for dial design, 009 IM is, indeed, the Gauntlet Silver Bullet. At least 009 IM is more combat effective than Kid Zoom, so there will be not as much of a drop-off in efficiency if ADAPTIVE ARMOR is not activated.
