WOW! As if you needed any more of my respect, TB! That's got to be one of the coolest teams I've ever heard of. I loved that Intelligencia one-shot. Jeff Parker has got to be my new favorite writer at Marvel. If you haven't been reading Agents of Atlas (and Incredible Hercules, R.I.P.), you really ought to.
I especially loved how the Leader just "took it" when Doom betrayed them. All of the other guys had too much ego and fought back, but the Leader knew he was doomed.
Such a great underdog tale, really. I guess all that wildcard Mystics T.A. really works in your favor on a team like that!
Man. COOL!
I was about to say that the Mystics didn't seem to come into play all that much (especially since it was Saboteured away in the second game), but I think it did more than I knew, just because it made people hesitant to attack the apes and nuisance guys. I tended to keep Doom well protected, too (although he protects himself well. It was kinda cathartic to just completely destroy Magog from 10 range to avenge Igor's massive squashing at his hands.
Okay, so the title's a bit misleading. I played The Intelligentsia in a 1000 point game this weekend and went 3-0.
Mystic Doom
MODOK
The Leader
Mad Thinker
E Awesome Android
Red Ghost
Super Apes Igor, Mikhlo, Peotor
Wizard
I expected this team to tank, but I squeaked out a win against the Avengers (MODOK lit up Thor and KOed him like a big-headed lovebug) and an even squeakier win against an E-2 Supes team that had Saboteur equipped to Power Girl to neuter my Mystic defense. But I got ballsy, double TKed MODOK out to light up E-2 while he was diddling around with Mjolnir. Then Doom got in a shot on him as well, and then I plinked him down enough for Peotor to score the killshot. Then in round 3 I'm facing KC Supes, and once again MODOK lights him up, then Awesome Android clobbers him with a heavy object, and Red Ghost himself scores the killshot on him to herald the sweep of the whole opposing side - Doom lit up Magog something fierce.
INTELLIGENTSIA. I swear, if this Fall of the Hulks stuff somehow works the Bi-Beast onto this team, IT WILL BE THE GREATEST TEAM EVER MADE.
Now that seems like a very satisfying victory. You've got a team with obvious weaknesses, but some good playing and you pulled out the victory. I always love seeing a scrappy under-dog team get a victory, even if I'm on the receiving end of the upset. Good job. I'm going to have to look up those figures. M.O.D.O.K. seems like a piece that could really surprise someone with a 4 damage psychic blast.

I must admit that the dice gods smiled upon me for once. Most of the time I lined up my probs for each shot and generally didn't need them, although there was one bit with Doom going after E-2 Supes where both of us burned through all our probs in one go, and I wound up missing after all that.
Also, Legendary Day being played in the third game really helped me out and helped me dogpile KC Supes.
awesome news! good job. who needs a 'theme' team to win anyway?? u played the figs you wanted, had fun, and actually did well. can't ask for more than that!

Uh, it actually is a theme team. They're in current Hulk comics, and my judge allowed me the keyword bonuses.
It's an awesome theme team full of characters I enjoy!
Come on, let Bi-Beast join this team before the Hulk thing ends.

i know what you're saying, but you still decided to play the figures you wanted. thats all i'm saying. i'm all for letting ppl use the figs they want. especially if it's an actual team in the comics.
