I've got a few candidates already, of course.

Ziran the Tester's Testing trait: Build a colossal-fighting team, likely take six clicks right off. Build a test-passing team, likely deal 0 damage to him. Lose either way.

GG Thanos 049 at 350 points: Forget positioning. Just get killboxed immediately. Oh, and in case you wanted to fight back afterward, your 9 Speed just became your AV...good luck rolling that 10-11 to hit!

Sentry and Void: Forget positioning. You can't run anyway from double HSS.

Full Gauntlet: 40 points to cover every weakness an otherwise balanced piece had. You don't kill its holder in 5 rounds, you probably won't.

What are some other really mean figures or elements in Modern Age?

You missed scarlet witch in your post. All she is missing is outwit from being the ultimate support piece.

10th anniversary Braniac is amazing!

Not to mention Worldbreaker.

GF Dr. Strange should be up there, I'd imagine.

Or any combination of the above.


S/V, Scarlet Witch, Morgan Le Fay = 497

600 Ziran, GG 045 Thanos (150), IG = 790

are the 2 most broken, cheesy, unbeatable teams I've seen.

The meanest figs are the ones you can get in those newtons.

Remember, a cookie is just a cookie, but a newton is fruit and cake.

Skrulls are also really mean now with spider man and nightwing among other chases.

Avengers are meta due to how many of them we have out there.

Thunderbolts/masters of evil are meta now because of zemo. Kang to have any team ability (except cosmic)? What?! Or even ultron?! WHAT?!

I agree with everyhing on your list, but i am also going to add one that just caught me by surprise the other day.

FF:JL Wonder Woman. Her trait allows her to do an action after being carried. With Charge on her top click and an 11 AV she can really change a game. She, as far as I know, is the only figure that can do this and I am shocked I haven't seen her used more.(I didn't get that FF set, but now I wish I had).

GF Dr.Strange seems a little mean.

DK Catwoman who can move and switch objects can be a real pain to play against(maybe the second best support piece in the game), and with her she can make Scorpio really, really, really mean.

The Gauntlet is obvious.

I think Vehicles will be on this list soon. Look for them to make Mastermind a really important power again.

The meanest figure I've ever seen is that custom of Chrisdosmil. I still don't understand why it smells so bad...

I second a vote for Scarlet Witch and nominate The 50 pt Enchantress. It gets even worse when they are used together towards a theme build.

I see people post this over, and over, and over again. Did everyone just miss the part in the Vehicle rules that says that can't be Masterminded too.

i'm surprised no one has mentioned dark phoenix at any of her point values shes a monster if played right

And played, you monster.

Actually using multiple scarlet witch's is one of the meanest game strategies.

In everones defense the rules do require a PhD, 10+ years experience and a fork lift drivers license to understand/operate.

I believe the rule book was actually drafted up by the same group of individuals that write all of the new tax laws every year.
