Yeah, we're getting another Doomsday with this set.
The Zoom dial looks pretty good. I'd probably make it where he can't capture the highest point figure on the other force and probably that he can't "release captives" in his starting area.
Zoom will kidnap someone but its not like he's taking them to jail or off to be killed like Sentinels or Mar-Vell. He's just holding them hostage to bait the Flash or whoever.
I'd lose the Injustice League, police and Central City keywords and instead give him Secret Society of Supervillains and The Society.
I'd also lose the hypertime ta and change the name of the "back to your starting area" power as they both imply he can time travel when someone that isn't a hack is writing. I'd also probably lose the regen and just give him that special power on his last two clicks or something. Still keep it where Zoom can't just heal to full with that thing but where he can leave and show back up later in the fight a couple times. Very reminiscent of Flash: Blitz.
Overall, good stuff.

KC Magog, Max Lord (non black lantern version), and Seven Deadly Brothers have been revealed.
Max and Seven Deadly Brothers are commons. Magog looks like a rare.

If Parasite had Superman Enemy would he have been able to steal 2 power potentially?
Edit: Just realized, you only get it if you can't already use outwit. Actually I realized that when I left for work, but you know what I mean.

Finally, a good Parasite.

Finally, a good Parasite. He seems pretty fun, I'd have to try him out to determine if I could actually use him in a lower point game though, I think it might be hard, he's kind of a lot of points. I think my brother would love him to take out tentpoles

I'd send him after figures with RCE or impervious (which he'll keep, even if you knock the outwitted figure off of impervious). Outwitting figures simply to take their range is an idea, though he has to get close enough it shouldn't really matter what their range is. And if he somehow got the ability to use outwit twice, yeah, he'd be able to use both powers.
He's very similar to Rogue only good since he's not just borrowing, he's taking away and getting range and not having to be directly next to his opponent.

I'm a little dissapointed with Doomsday, but I'll probably get him anyway

That's pretty much what I was looking for in a Doomsday only I wish he had super strength. All Star Bizarro is kinda a waste. I mean, he's great, I just don't want him.

I think Doomsday is easier to play and easier to put on a force, but not really what I was hoping to get. I guess it's more what I should have expected with all the Reign of Superman stuff but we've already gotten two DOS Doomsday. (I got them both now btw)

The rest of the figures that filled out the set are a personal disappointment (except Bruno Manheim) and I'm trying to decide if I like the new Darkseid's dial better than the old. I'll probably get him to replace my Crisis Darkseid, if only for his boom tube power and his Quint team ability.
Surely, someone has a bunch of extra parademons and maybe eventually we'll get some more of his minions.
I think I'm going to buy a brick, get me a Superman Robot.

I like Darkseid's dial. It seems like it could be fun. I wish he either had more keywords or that we had more Apokolips figures to work with but that could always be fixed in the future. A lot of people seem to not like the new Darkseid very much though...

Yeah, I'm sure there will be a New Gods theme (or subtheme) set in the future.
The thing you gotta remember about the new Darkseid is that there's no more canceling powers or abilities. Willpower says you MAY ignore pushing damage (or something to that effect). Indomitable grants willpower. But the Quintessence ta? You don't take pushing damage. That means you can't just push Darkseid off that first click when his fodder dies which means you're never going to see his second or third clicks.
That said, they might fix that rule and the Quintessence ta means you can't outwit his mastermind, which is pretty sweet.

Yeah, but I honestly don't mind his first click at all and if people really need a way to get him off that first click parademon drill sergeant should do nicely. Would also double as MM fodder.
I was thinking it might be fun for him to carry a Logan, Patch, and Wolverine. That way he has MM fodder that is all stealthed and can all regen to absorb hits all game.

Man, I hope Fast Forces Supes/Lex are normal Supes/Lex.
All Star Supes is a beast but I'm not satisfied with Lex.

Composite Superman can still give Superman robot the SA TA, yes? Since he's not copying them...

That's right. I probably wouldn't play composite Supes at the 80 point line, though.
I'm buying a brick on Sunday and then playing in a sealed tournament. I'll let you know how I do.

Played a two booster 400 point sealed tournament.
Pulled Eradicator, Brainiac 5, Starboy, Matter Eater Lad and Intergang Underboss. Wildcarded to Superman enemy and went to town.
I lost Matter Eater Lad to Darkseid to keep him from attacking Erad but other than that, I swept everybody. Won a Commander El and the Fortress of Solitude/Metropolis map.
Pretty much pulled everything I want except Zod but I think my Sir Kal chase figure will help me get Zod and then some. Good day.

Nice Zoom! I'm glad Eradicator treated you well. I think he's my favorite from the set and I'm looking forward to playing him,
