I always felt like the JLA TA should be Wild Cards as they team up with all sorts. In that case, the LoSH could have free move - y'know, Flight Rings making that easy.

Fuzzy memory kicking in...I think you guys might be right.

Still, from a game-play perspective, it's better for the figures to have a mix of flying and grounded characters. Or possibly to grant some sort of limited flight ability via an Alternate Team Ability.

I'm openning up a can of poor ideas:

The Captain: after moving, gains earthbound. Non-optional.
--Also: a sucessful hit on a giant or a colossal gives him a heavy object (tearing the fingers off fing fang foom)

Monica: Avengers leadership = leadership, missing the roll grants perplex.

ATA: whenever a team member sucessfully hits an enemy, place 4 hindering terrain markers within 3 squares of the target. These guys create a lot of rubble.....

I know it's not likely, but I think it would be awesome if we got more then just the 5 main characters. Just think about it...

Dirk Anger could be like Agent Brand but with regen (Zombie Formula!)

Devil Dinosaur in a smoking jacket with a huge handgun would make an awesome sculpt (plus I think this would be a more then acceptable Chase figure)

Forbrush Man with Forbrush Vision (something like "all opposing characters within clear line of fire gain Battle Fury")

And there are so many good generics! Elvis M.O.D.O.K.s, Wolverine Chimps, Mindless Ones, Snakes on Planes, LASER EYED STEVEN HAWKING CENTURIONS!!!

Ah well... one can dream, can't he?

I don't even want to think about how he might have used that toilet brush on Rorkannu... *shudder*

I defeated teh Superhero Monica, like a real Superhero

I always envisioned The Captain having a click of Poison on his last click.

"Is he farting?"
"Yeah."
"Then he's still alive."

I always assumed those two TAs were assigned due to game balance--limit the number of wildcards (and keep them low-cost) and prevent the beatsticks from having stealth.

At this point in the game it's a non-issue and I'd be in favor of the change--both teams would be much better off.

At this point, making a change would be a nightmare on backward compatibility. Then again, most people don't really care about old pieces so maybe it wouldn't be that big a deal.

This. needs. to. happen.

Ha! I don't even have a sock drawer, what are you going to organize, Aaron? I'VE BEATEN YOU!

I understand that free-move team abilities cost more than wildcard team abilities, anyway. Which is just bizarre. So I don't see what the big problem is, in light of how useful wildcard team abilities are in comparison to free-move team abilities. Meanwhile, many "junk" pieces would see sudden revitalization, while game mechanics would better nudge people into theme-play for the Legion.

Thanks for agreeing.

IT HAS PANTS!!!!

I'm hoping against all odds that we get a Dirk Anger in the set as well. Nextwave is so far the only reason I'm interested in GSXM.
