I can't believe so many people are complaining about the point cost when he gives TWO very good team abilities to Legion of Superheroes teams!
Sure, but how many points do you have to be playing before you stop having better options? 500? 700? I can't find room to fit him onto a Legion team as high as 500 just because there are so many other good options.
Okay, @commander cool, give me a Legion team with the Superman TA, Titans, TA, and with a player that can do 6 dmg (w/object). Extra credit if said piece has 18 invulnerable as well.
I had a buddy of mine mod this with a silver shield and darker pant so I could use him for my smallville teams. Then they made clark kent in man of steel. I am still torn which is better?
The 8's and 2's are painful; and losing Charge, in the first half of the dial, to pushing damage. Per the aforementioned mediocre combat values, I think that the team abilities, particularly Superman Ally, inflated his cost, significantly. I love the addition of them, however, and I think that they make him an excellent staple for LosH teams. As others have mentioned, the EW that 'Lies' grants him isn't particularly useful, when HSS and CCE are often the better alternatives. Outwit, instead of EW, however, I think would have increased his cost, significantly; especially because of his Superman TA. Personally, I think that Steal Energy would have been a good alternative. Shortcomings aside, this will always be my favorite Con-El. Swap his sculpt with that of his counterpart, from Legacy, and you're good to go. Touchdown!
