The only problem I have is, is that if I were to take the Thanos, and put him across from this Thor, I think Thanos would utterly destroy him, especially if Thor knocks him onto a prob, or psychic blast click.

Overall, point for point, I give Thanos a better dial. Sure, no move and attack, but at the end of the day? 10 range. TMT would have to come into Thanos's range. And Thanos is cheaper too.

And imagine Thanos, to make up the points, having Protected?

Thor attacks, and hits (in all likelyhood), Thanos uses Protected. Hits Thor back for 4 damage, no imperve.

Thor now sits at three damage. Hits Thanos, does one (1 in 3 chance ignored). Thanos now has 12 attack with Psychic Blast, and 4, if he's hit.

Both rest.

If Thanos ignored THor's one damage, now Thor is going to be roasted pretty much. 4 more damage from psychic blast under this scenario, and Thor has been dropped too far down his dial to have a hope of winning.

If he did hit, to be honest, it drags the fight out a bit more, but I still see the Mad Titan ripping Thor's head, rather grusomely, from his neck.

The problem with a hypothetical scenario like this, is that you're assuming that Thor is just going to move into a spot and say "Here I am!"

Frankly, if I were Thor's player, and seeing Thanos across the way, I'd /base/ Thanos if I could. No PB for you.

Also, Protected would add a token, and since I move/shoot (and control that initiative)... I'd try to time the RS into range where you'd already have a token. So now your choice is:

1. Take a token and be pushed, taking no damage.

2. Gamble on Impervious.

Either way, it isn't nearly as bad for Thor as you might think.

Well that explains all those hefty points.... My God...

It's not just the click of life that contributes to his larger point cost. TMT has better attack values, more Impervious, more RCE and the Power Cosmic TA which is pretty pricey.

The only flaw in your theory is...Psychic Blast is ignored w/ Power Comic teams. All that Thor gets is a slight tickle from Thanos.

Err...think I got that confused w/ the colossal figures? Does Psychic Blast go through Power Cosmic figures? I'm confused now.

PC only grants immunity to outwit and perma-willpower. To get immunity to EW you need Fortitude and immunity from PB comes from Repulsor Shields. You are probably thinking of the special rules for the colossal figures.

Well, if you compare him to Korvac or Ares this figure loses the stats advantage. Sure he has sweet Vs and nice powers but i just don't think that he's worth the cost even for the PC TA.

But that's just me! Don't listen! ;P

is it time for WWC yet?

I want one or two!

It would be nice to have another Power Cosmic piece but I'll wait for the price to come down a bit.

The only thing I don't really agree with is the $25 to $30 comment....With this figure being a $100 purchase figure don't expect to many extras floating out there which should keep the price HIGH...$50 to $60range...for a LONG Time !!!!

Mr. Savage

Awesome review, dut! Although I think that the end of dial Force Blast isn't a complete waste of grape jelly (mmmmm.... jelly), what with the PC TA and all, and the desire to keep Thor 'unencumbered' so that he can let loose with ranged attacks... Can't wait to get my hands on one!
Also, I'm absolutely giddy with anticipation for the Snap Wilson / Skymax review next week! Make Mine Dut!
