I have a question on force composition. I know that Uniques, SR's and LE's require there to be only one of each such character on a force. However with the release of the new DC set a conundrum has come up that I need to clarify. If I wanted to do so, and the build allowed it, could I field both the Legacy Ares and the new DC75 Ares since only one of them is a Unique and the other a veteran/rare? Any help appreciated, thanks.

That is allowed. A Unique character is only unique to itself as defined by its set and number. You can play unique Infinity Challenge Spider-Man and unique Clobberin' Time Spider-Man on the same force. You cannot play two unique Infinity Challenge Spider-Mans on the same force.

From p. 4 of the 2010 Core Rulebook:
In your example, the two Ares have different set symbols (among other things) so there is no problem having them both on the same force.

If a figure is unique, you can only field one figure with that particular set symbol and number. Different figures with the same name are fine.

Thanks guys.

This also means that you could field say Dr Doom from the FF starter and the Classic reprint on the same force.

Also the SI Starter Dr Doom, Skin Suit Doom, and the SI LE Viktor Von Doom!

1/3 right.
Only characters with the silver unique ring are limited to one and only one.
SRs and LEs are fine to run multiples of if they don't have that ring.

If you have two SR Odins, you can run them both.

he 2/3 right and you 1/2 right
Older LE had the bronze or gold ring

actually he was 100% right with his line saying
SRs and LEs are fine to run multiples of if they don't have that ring.

Don't forget the classics Doom (it is one of those dooms with a diiferent collector number)

That only works if you are building an 850 point team! Though fielding two of the Dr Dooms is pretty nasty...

Two Samuel L Furies work fine though - that's only 126 points.

Don't forget you can also play both Iron Mongers!!!

What's that?

Oh....

But Doc Doom is cooler :P

You shouldn't say that so Samuel L can hear.
