I spent the last couple days working on a really well rounded team. One that would stand up at range or in close combat. One that had stealth and could see through my opponents stealth. One that dealt heavy damage every single turn. I did it, I created the perfect team!!

Ult Thor
-Protected
Power-Man & Iron First
-Protected
Rook Scarab (Kabuki/Batman TA)
Edward Nigma
Moonstone
-Tbolts Mystics

499 points - Celebrity Theme team

I spent the better part of Friday night and an hour sat morning mixing and matching a different combos to create my masterpiece.
Thor attacks every turn, with enhancement and the abiltiy to put a token on E-Nigma every other turn. Brilliant!!
P-Man & IF run interference copying stealth and mystics as needed and Defending the rest of the team.
Moonstone's a seconday attacker.

My 18 yr old son, who hasn't played in 6 months, throws together a FF team in 5 minutes. Long story-even-longer, 1 Nova Blast and a Generator smashed over P-Man & IF's head and my perfect team is crushed!! PM & IF need 9 to hit Thing, Thor needs 7 to hit Spiderman

It just goes to show ya, well, I don't know what it goes to show ya. Play the game to have fun. You never know when a kid, who doesn't know what he's doing might beat the carp out of ya.

the only reason why i've only played the ult thor once is due to his low DV.. edward nigma may become my new friend.

i been using the edward nigma tactic for a bit
and im trying to get my mate to lend me his THOR AND LOKI duo fig
so i can deal 13 damage every turn
(via enhancment + perplex and the duo attack ability)

the only thing i think that can survive this onslaught is doomsday

should be fun to try out but i dot think he wants me to lol

Well, the main flaw to your team is that P&IF are unable to copy Mystics because it is an ATA and the rules have been changed on that.

But kudos to a decent Celebrity team.

Ummm... Mystics is not an ATA.

he was refering to the moonstone that was tbolted to mystics and powerman and ironfist copying the mystics via tbolts

Note to self: Don't answer things before finishing morning coffee.

considering how many times u have all helped myself and others im pretty sure we can let it slide lol

Ult thor was awesome... years ago. He'd get stomped today.

With an 18 Def (Defended from PM&IF) and Impervious, 12 attack, 6 damage (enhanced), 10 range, see through stealth, attacks every turn and doesn't push (ENigma)? Doesn't sound so bad, even compared to todays stuff???

Second flaw with this team is you now need to keep them all adjacent to each other for this to work. So you're now being hurt by Pulsewave, Energy Explosion, Quake & Flurry teams...the same as Defenders & JSA teams.

He's good but he's not what he used to be (although I was always of the opinion he wasn't that awesome to start with). Obviously his biggest problem is his defense. The two clicks of Running Shot seem a bit skimpy especially since he doesn't get anything else until Charge at the end of his dial. He has great damage output but a ~200 point figure shouldn't need a Defend figure to prop him up. Yeah he has an 18 defense and doesn't push but it cost you an additional ~200 points to do so.

Even worse, all it takes is a Kid Flash Maneuver to get PM&IF away and now you've got a 186 point figure w/ a 16 defense just ripe for the picking.

And that's not just to pick on this team. I think it just shows that no matter what you do you can't game plan for everything. Every team has flaws, weaknesses, etc no matter how much time you put into building it. And I think that's a good thing.
