Thanks!
Silver Banshee looks fun. I started buying Heroclix again BTW. I picked up Nemesis and Nimrod the other day

We should make a plot driven Heroclix in which all of us fail to capture Max Lord. Judd Winick will play as Max.

Eradicator has been confirmed as a Rare. He looks awesome.
Plot driven heroclix is pretty fun.

I love Eradicator's dial.
I want to pit a 500 point Zod Ursa Non team against a 500 point Black Adam, Isis, Osiris team

I love the sculpt. I'd play that matchup. I think the Phantom Zone guys are better but I've never played the Black Adam family together. They start getting +1 to their stats across the board, they're probably a lot more menacing. I'm hoping my venue starts playing really big games once Superman comes out. I want to try this team. All I'm lacking is Dr. Light, Cheetah and a new Black Adam.

Yeah and Black Adam himself is scary just by himself with the 19 and improved imperv. He could outwit Ursa's Psychic Blast too. Kneel Before Zod seems pretty powerful, but so is the lightning regen.
Do you think they will have LE's of All the Reign of Superman Characters. I'd like to see a modern Eradicator. I didn't see any image by the way.
I hope the Reign of Supermen traits are Man of Steel, Man of Tomorrow, Metropolis Kid, and Last Son of Krypton

Matter Eater Lad and Princess Projecta are up. heroclix.com/heroclix/long-live-the-legion/I bet you're right on the trait names, Vuv. I think Black Adam would murderize Zod one on one but Non and Ursa are a lot more useful than Osiris and Isis. Non is charging for massive damage. Ursa has penetrating running shot that sees through stealth. The only thing is, you can't just smack either Isis or Osiris down. Imagine Isis on her 2nd to last click with Osiris dead. Suddenly, she's a 10 speed charger, 11 attack, 20 defense willpower with 5 damage. Suddenly she's really dangerous. Looking over the figures we've seen so far, if we assume 6 LE figures, I'd guess: Manhunter Cyborg Superman (duh, I'm sure we'll get a RoS one in the main set) Supergirl (Cir-El, Matrix, or Evil Supergirl repaint) Swamp Thing (Black Lantern or White Lantern repaint) Superman (Commander El or Earth 1) Starboy (Starman) And I'll go for the long bomb with Brainiac 5 (Vril Dox) Starman and Commander El are already confirmed, of course, I just can't see them being in the regular set since they could be repaints of figures we've already got and they seem very LEish.

Very true, but that's the way it should be with Black Adam being 112 points more than Zod and Ursa and Non being 50 points higher than Osiris and Isis. Which team would you rather field?

I'd probably rather field the Phantom Zoners in a tournament but if the two teams fought, I'd rather play Black Adam.
I want to try a Superman enemy squad but they're all so freaking expensive. Metallo is 182 points and while he's pushable and fast and tough, he's only got a 10 attack and once he takes some damage, he's screwed. I just can't justify that investment on him. Brainiac is pretty good, but he's really top heavy. Luthor is just weird and too expensive for what he does. Doomsday is great at what he does but he's way too slow and hits way too hard and as a super rare, I'm not going to go out of my way to get him if I don't think he's a passable representation of the character. Kryptonite Man is a silver bullet against Superman but with only 17 invulnerable, he's not going to last long against Supes and against anyone else, he's wasting a lot of points on that anti Supes power. Parasite and Toyman are laughably bad.
On the other hand, the Phantom Zoners are all great and I love the new Livewire. If Luthor and Parasite are good, I might try to make a tournament team out of that group.
Zod's "Most Dangerous Kryptonian" should have been something on Luthor. Luthor is the guy who can unite all the Supes bad guys and wildcards and make them really dangerous. Plus, that power makes me want to throw Zod on to EVERY Supes bad guy team, which would be better if it was on a 70 point Luthor than a 188 point Zod, ya know?
I'll see what I can do when the set is out.

I agree that SP wold be more appropriate on Lex, having it appear on a cheaper figure made it seem a little too powerful at first but then there is that condition of needing a superman ally on the opposing team.
Do you ever like to make custom dials? Fun way to waste time.
Preview of Brainiac 5 haha.
What do you mean Doomsday hits way too hard?

I've made a few.
Brainiac Five is confirmed as a common, which is awesome.
Invisible Kid as an uncommon.
Doomsday hits too hard. Doomsday starts with 5 damage plus super strength. So 7 damage. That's fine. Only Doomsday gets an additional +1 damage against Superman and his damage becomes penetrating. So while Superman can and will run circles around Doomsday, if Doomsday ever manages to catch Superman, he needs to roll a 7 to do 8 straight damage to the man of steel, practically one shotting him. Doomsday doesn't need exploit weakness and he certainly doesn't need bonuses against Superman in particular. He needs armor piercing built in so that even when Supes makes that impervious roll, he still takes 1 click.

Ah going back to the being comically accurate. I was wondering why hitting hard would ever be a con for putting him on your team, but you're talking about for buying him at all.
What characters have you made? My brother just made a Zoom dial, maybe you should look at it

Oh yeah. As far as strategy goes, he seems like he'd be a blast to play, go through bricks like a hot knife through butter.
All he needs is First Class Angel or a TKer to get him into position and a few guys to tie up the other team so he can line up and smash away.
I just figure I can afford to wait for an accurate Doomsday.
Send me a link to the Zoom dial. I'll check it out.
