In the far flung time of Heroclix expansions past, Marvel HeroClix: Fantastic Forces gave us two feats called Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts, altering how team abilities were used for years to come. Since that time, these “Alternate Team Abilities” have gone through a variety of changes… not the least of which is that they are no longer called Alternate Team Abilities but are instead now Additional Team Abilities (or ATAs for short). So it is only natural that players might have a question or two about how exactly these ATAs work, whether they are an old hand at ‘clixing or new to the fold.

Leopard skin is so last year.

That Animal TA is just plain nasty.

I still like my version of Animal (with Pet Avengers and others)

I love the Justice League Dark one. Slashing range is pretty handy.

Uh oh... they don't show off Secret Invasion or Black Lantern Corps. My inevitable chase theme sense is tingling...

I guess ProfessorShananigans 'Gotham Underworld' ATA was a big 'ol lie?

Chase ATA's. Awesome.

No, just running with the rumored theme of the 10th Anniversary chases being Skrulls/Black Lanterns. Which is why they may be holding them off until those sets come out. Boo on this, I say.

It's handy but it just doesnt scream Justice League Dark to me.

A generic keyword based ATA? Schweettt. I love playing animal teams.

Cant wait for the Scientist ATA!!!!

Well good. Finally the Milf/snookie section of the Heroclix players is getting some ATA love.

Good god that print is always ugly.

That's why cheetahs are an endangered species. Ugly fur.

ANIMALS! Yeah! Love it.
