After Catman, this is one of the pieces in Heroclix that I have been waiting for the longest. I am so glad they finally made her, and made her well. Cannot wait to play here with the rest of the Secret Six.
I'm impressed with the synergy of the Secret Six in this set (best sub-theme of the set, imho). This banshee was a long time coming and does not disappoint.
TK to me is more symbolic of "Let Me Pull the Car Around" or just being well connected/having a driver/safehouse. Definitely the nastiest in the point bracket with Secret Six. Now we need 50 point versions of Ragdoll, Floyd, and Parademon. It's still rather mysterious how only one Lex has the keyword (JL) and he was the original Mockingbird for the group.
This dial is......... a terrible representation of Jeanette.
No super strength when she was making wonder woman bleed? Only two clicks of damage reducers when she took an extended beating from Diana? Tk!?!?!? What did she do that could ever be considered similar to Tk? Sidestep when she could literally run on water?
More Blood for the blood god! More skulls for the skull throne! More milk for the khorne flakes.
Great in sealed. Even outside of sealed, I can find many uses for her even if it's not on a Secret Six team. I had her in the same booster as Superman... so they knew what they were doing when they packaged this individual booster if you know what I mean.
So, at my venue we do two pack sealed for releases, and Jeanette was my rare in BOTH packs. I ran both and just used them to TK my other pieces around, eventually pushing them to their PW clicks near the end of a match. With Stompa, Scandal, and Duchess her battlefield manipulation was amazing on the rooftops release map.

I think it's a decent representation without her being completely overpowered. When she defeated Wonder Woman, she was full-on Banshee form. She not only fits well on a team of Secret Six members, but also represents how she was in most of the Secret Six run (non-Banshee form).

psssst. that's what split cost dials are for...
there's no reason they couldn't have made a 110 point version with a stop click that has a 50 point version.
it's almost as if that's true of basically every character with the secret six trait/keyword, and yet only applied to a pair of super-rares that barely spent any time on the team...
"HERE'S A TK-ER FOR YOUR MIN/MAX MONSTER TEAMS!"--said the Wizkids designer who never read the Secret Six. "She's a Mystical chick so we'll give her TK and ES/D!"--no, just no. stop, please. This dial is so inaccurate if I pulled it blind I would assume Jeanette's sculpt had been mistakenly stuck on someone else's dial!!!! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
What Jeannette SHOULD HAVE: okay, REGEN & PW, that's right, but the PW should be PW+INCAP like Silver Banshee (because she is a Banshee!!!) The dc universe's #1 marksman shot her at point-black range and she only gave him a running start because she thought he was cute: INVINCIBLE. And she's not really a running shot-type gal: she has that banshee cry after she beats someone to a pulp: CHARGE & SUPER STRENGTH. Remember, Jeanette was the heavy-hitter on a team that included Bane! It's not that hard to read a comic, or run an internet search on a character, is it?
While I agree with others that this fig isn't super comic accurate, it is a great overall dial well worth its 50pts. More importantly she provides the sidestep + TK combo which helps out her theme teams significantly. Used her with the classic AN Deadshot to get him setup for his massive penetrating shots much more easily. Then later in the game she provides solid values and RS + PW.
