Hi,

I would like to know your opinions regarding which figure is the best for 400 points unrestricted - U Nightcrawler from CT, Icons Flash or Icons Zoom.

I'm planning to use along with a heavy hitter (150 to 200 points) and maybe a third light weight attacker (less than 25 points). I'm also planning on using swingline, icwo and/or armor piercing in this guy ...

I'm going with Flash, on this one. Zoom doesn't become available til December, so he wasn't in the running for me. Flash's DV is better up top, and has willpower by the time it evens out with Nightcrawler's. His AV is MUCH more stable, and he has HSS for the whole dial.

His DV is a mixed bag, though. The up front SS may be better than the 19...who knows? He's also got that great Quake trick. H(yper) S(onic) S(mack) up to someone on a roof, rest, and quake them off. With a 19 (or 20 w/ ICWO) you can afford to camp next to someone and either Quake or HSS pummel them. Try him, see if you like him. Then sub Kurt and some feats or a Medic/Con. Then, when you get Zoom, sub him in for equal points.

I still like U Nightcrawler. He is a bargin at 83pts, and he has a TA. Flash is nice since he has HSS on every click, but the late dial phasing of NC and PZ is pretty handy from what i observe. Jolt ain't bad since you can T-Bolt her though . . . . . .Bat Ally since your putting swingline on her, then she can earthbound figures cause she has 6 range, which also makes her effective range greater than all of them!

NC > PZ > F

Its all about that super senses. Sure Nightcrawler is hurtin a bit after a hit, but if he rolls that SS watch out, he will be comin back for more. Plus, late dial phasin makes it a bit easier to get a to healer. Especially through walls to avoid gettin hit.

Yes ... the willpower on Flash seems good, but at that stage I would rather run to the medic with phasing ... both of them cannot be pushed and NC is 16 points cheaper ...
