For a long time now, Gargantua and I have come up with our own Top Ten lists for each set that comes out ranking the best (and 5 worst) figures. By no means intended to be definitive lists, it was just something we did for our amusement, based on our own personal preferences and observations.

One thing which we never did though, is play any games specifically highlighting those figures. Well, we're going to try that now, and we're going all the way back to the beginning. From the Top Ten Lists we made up we've each drafted 7 figures, plus one of the figures that we had ranked in the bottom. We have to pick one figure from each set and one bottom figure. If there's a point discrepancy larger than 10 points after 8 figures are chosen we adjust by adding, subtracting or swapping figures. As long as they are part of the top 10.

This game involves the Titans, Iron Man 3, Fear Itself, Man of Steel, Wolverine and the X-Men, Batman Classic TV.

Let's try this map:

"I've seen some odd team up but this one takes the cake," Quicksilver says.

"I dunno..." Flatman says.

"Yer in the Great Lakes Avengers, ain't ya? You don't have proper perspective on this," says Absorbing Man.

"I'll admit, I'm kind of a neophyte to this hero stuff and I don't know half of you," Pepper Potts offers.

"Cyborg, and my name kind of says it all," the Titan reaches out his hand to her.

"Yawn, you good guys are so predictable," Tattooed Man says.

"I can read minds and trust me, you're as accurate as you can get," Omen tells him.

"This is getting dull," Catwoman says, "Is there some diamond heist we could get involved in?".

"I don't know most of you," the Ray said. "You were with the Teen Titans for a while though, right?"

"Yeah, I slummed with them for a bit," Ravager admitted.

"You're Xavier's kid, aren't you? The screwy one?" Juggernaut asked.

"That isn't a very nice thing to say," Legion said, his voice high, almost feminine.

"Let's not provoke each other," Sebastian Shaw said. "We're going to need to stick together to beat what they have over there."

"An egg-cellent strategy," Egghead nodded in agreement.

"Ah, but provocation is such fun!" Monkey King said.

"And you are?" Cerise asked.

"A trickster and mischief maker!"

"Loki?" Juggernaut looked sideways at him.

"Loki! Please I was getting into trouble long before Odin even met his giantess mistress."

And not a flier in the bunch.

Tattooed to L5.

Greithoth to K4.

Cyborg will pc from I9.

Well at least for fliers and non-fliers I'm perfectly balanced.

Legion rolls 5 - Compassionate. A waste at the moment. Takes Perplex for his power.

Legion carries Kuurth, F18 and E18

Ray carries Egghead, G14 and H14

Cerise to F20, carrying Ravager to E20

Monkey King carries Black King. Hey, I've got two Kings. I just need one more and it's Epiphany. B15 and B16

Where exactly is Egghead again? Your recap and map don't match.

He's H14. He moved back to where he was before you hit him.

Ok. Cyborg attacks him again. A 5 kos Egghead, rolls 4. And already he uses his pc: 6. KOs Egghead.

Flatman outwits the Ray's ss.

Quicksilver hss to H13 attacking Ray. Needs 7, rolls 5. Break is 4. Ends in H10, probably a goner next turn.

Tattooed tks Greithoth to I10. Makes his damage 6. Pepper makes his dv + 1.

Greithoth on Ray. Needs 7 + 1, rolls 10 ( 2 5s). KOs the Ray.

Omen and Pepper to N6 and M6. Omen will mm to Pepper.

Now we've got a game! And now your true threats can come tear me apart.

It probably won't matter, since it's blocked by Quicksilver and Absorbing Man but remember that Cyborg is using the object in I9 for pc.

Losing the Ray so soon hurts. Legion rolls for his Personalities: 1, so -2 to his AV. Won't hurt a bit this turn. I will give him Perplex.

Cerise RS to E15, carrying Ravager to E16. Shoots at Greithoth. AV11 on DV18. Gets 5. Ravager makes it 9. Cyborg can make it 11. 3 Penetrating to him.

Legion TKs Kuurth to H13

Kuurth picks up the LO in I14, Charges to I11, attacks Greithoth, AV11 on DV17. Gets 12. And that will KO Greithoth.

I would say you can use Greithoth's Trait to drop his Hammer if you want, but it will still require a roll for someone to pick it up - and that could potentially be one of my guys. There's nothing to say I can't.

Monkey King to H10, carrying Black King to G11, anda he picks up the LO in I9

See what happens when I try an aggressive move? That was probably the game defining turn, even if it's not over yet.

Omen makes Kuurth's av 9.

Monkey King doesn't have ss, but new rules let him pick up LOs, forgot.

Flatman to H6, outwits MK's quake.

Pepper and Tattooed boosts Quicksilvers dv + 2.
