It feels off that this version of DD does not have Stealth. You would think wearing all Black and being the leader of a bunch of ninjas that would come standard.
@DDRUSSELL: Yah, you're right. Full dial of exploit, but no stealth, energy shield, range (unless he's on MC with a 4-default range), willpower, indomitable, or move-and-attack powers, and bare minimum damage reducers mid to late dial.
Sooooooo, either a) The enemy ignores you, b) you push, giving up free clicks, or c) The enemy nukes you from range, attempting to roll a 7 (assuming 10 attack and chancing super senses + maybe shape-change) taking 2, mayyyybe 3 unavoidable clicks in the process
Honestly, the best use of this fig (outside of Hand themed games) seems to be punishing tie-up, where you use Leap-climb to base opposing figs with poison, causing them to exchange a click with you at the beginning of each of their turns.
Still though... 90+ points just for that seems like a stretch...
No range. No stealth. No move and attack. No chance of him leaving my box. The other DD is this set is 75 pts, has outwit, and would destroy this one. There's no way this chump is EVER going to get first attack.
At first glance this one is hard to recommend, but he can do wonders for a Hand themed team. Gorgon from Captain America and Wolverine from GSX are two that come to mind that could benefit from his trait. Plus it does seem as though there more than likely will be a Hand ata that gives out stealth. Also on the plus side most folks with the martial arts keyword have the Spiderman TA, and Mystics can make a difference with that. But yeah, without stealth or at least willpower/indomitable to help him get into position he borders on a support piece for the Hand keyword, which needs to be expanded greatly (New Elektra, anyone?)

Yeah, that is kind of silly but for the points this is a great fig.
Mystics is great, he lacks Stealth and, being more ruthless than ever, Flurry or Close Combat Expert. Where is his sonar? and cut ot that Mind Control.
I think you're gonna see this guy all over the sealed environment and as a staple on mystic theme teams. Complain all you want about the lack of stealth and range, this is a different interpretation of the character. You'll get those powers on the other TWO DD's in the set

The Hand ATA granting Stealth FTW. Seriously, with Stealth, this guy would be a ninja-perfect Daredevil. I know lots of figs with the Hand keyword have some Stealth on the dial, but I was just browsing them - such an ATA wouldn't be a complete waste on any of them. Besides, Marvel needs a Batman TA somehow, even if comes through an ATA.
This DD is awesome. Went undefeated last night in a sealed using him with Black Tarantula, White Tiger, and Matt Murdock. I ended up beating Black Bolt, A-Bomb, Common Hulk, and Hulk Robot teams. DD tied up the big bruiser, and Matt Outwitted powers as needed. White Tiger Perplexed damage down and BT destroyed objects. So DD ended up taking only one or two damage at a time, dealing Mystics. Although it never came to it in my games because I got lucky with SS and SC rolls, my plan was to have DD break away when fading away, so BT could heal him. If that didn't work, I'd have let White Tiger take a beating so she could put Matt on the Mystics DD express.
