My LGS is having a 400pt Modern Age tournament with the only specifications being you have to run at least one fig with the Power Cosmic TA. I just picked up the R Adam Warlock being able to negate this team ability. Would like to pair him with the IG + Time Gem to give him SS. Here are a few of my ideas: (& I'm open to changes, I don't know the ins and outs of all figs)

Team A:
Adam Warlock 149
+ IG w/ Time Gem 15
GG Drax 121
+ ATA GoG 4
GF Dr Strange 75
Roulette 35
= 399

This team looks to be the more defensive of the 2. Strange provides the team ES/D, Perplex, & eventually PC. Warlock counters the opposing team's Cosmic and will start with Toughness, ES/D, & SS. Drax's trait can't be countered as he puts a bounty on the opposing teams biggest threat. Roulette provides me with a cheap PC'er & has SS.

Team B:
Adam Warlock 149
Drax 121
Dirk Anger 71
Amadeus Cho 59
=400

No gauntlet or uncounterable Drax, but Dirk and Cho provide additional lockdown with more Outwit & PC.

Team C:
Adam Warlock 149
+ IG w/ Time Gem or Power Gem 15
Drax 121
+ ATA GoG 4
Earth Man 98
Astral Dr. Strange 13
= 400

This team would bring the pain with 3 figs capable of dishing some serious damage on Cosmics.

check out Cap Dirk Anger

he can shut down team abilities, has perplex, and a +1 atack to adjacent friendlies on his second click

He's interesting. How does this team look:
Adam Warlock 149
Drax 121
Dirk Anger 71
Amadeus Cho 59
=400

This team would give me 2 decent beaters and a bit of added mobility on my atk with Drax. Dirk helps shut down teams even further, and Cho gives me some outwit and PC. My only complaint is I'm losing the ATA GoG on Drax and the IG w/Time Gem to help with Warlock's defense.

Earth Man is always a good choice when you know you are facing Cosmic.

NO PLACE TO HIDE, ALIEN!: Opposing characters with the Cosmic keyword can't be given power actions to use standard Speed powers. Those characters modify their defense values by -2 when attacked by Earth Man.

and

ABSORBANCY: Give Earth Man a free action and choose a standard Attack power that an adjacent character can use. Until your next turn, he can use that power.

Could give him an effective 12 attack plus the ability to borrow something like Psy Blast or Flurry. I think he and Drax would rip Cosmics to shreds.

Blah, I had just talked myself into Team A and then you go and show me Earth Man. Do you think he'd be a better secondary attacker over Drax + ATA? That would free up 27 pts. Added a 3rd team incorporating all 3 attackers.
