I'm not sure if the timing on this works, but thanks to the new Tabitha Smith the "Hooker Bomb" is BACK! Sorta
63 Av Quicksilver
58 Tabitha Smith
49 Big Figure
40 M&M Marvel Girl
90 {18 of the 5pt pogs*}
300 Total
First turn just drop the double BOOM next to Big Figure and the pogs. TK out Quicksilver if possible/safe. Next turn declair perplex on Quicksilver's Damage (free action) FIRST, then click Big Figure, before any of the pogs, when the BOOM BOOM goes off and go crazy with Quicksilver as all (or most) of the pogs explode. You can also run less pogs to sneak in another cheap attacker of a Barrier piece.
Golden Age will break Tabitha, but this is just pure silliness... just like Nextwave. Read it!
*M&M - Jarella, Crisis- Lois Lane, Avengers - Edwin Jarvis, Everret K Ross, Katt ferrel, or Duanne Freeman.

The timing does not work. Big Figure's SP only activates if the figure is KOed during an opponent's turn, and Time Bombs explode during your turn.
And even when the power does activate you are only getting a free attack, not a free action, so you cannot do hit-n-runs with Quicksilver. Also, the effect of Perplex ends before the Time Bombs activate, but you are allowed to use Perplex again before you remove the Time Bombs if you want, so that's a minor problem.
You could just run a bunch of the original ladies of the night: Con Artist, and use Boom Boom to get them off their activation click at the beginning of your second turn. I do believe that is the original Hooker Bomb: Pulse Wave and Con Artists.
It's okay man. It's not your fault. No, really it's not your fault man.
Yeah, how can you declare the hooker bomb is back and have no hookers on your team?
*Bit of Heroclix history- the LE Hooker Sarah St. John was named after Jon L's mother. This was obviously before he saw the final sculpt for the Con-Artists and before the community dubbed the figures 'hookers'.
While... I was originally going to post this in a modern only thread, then relized it wasn't theme. Also wanted a rules answer (which I got). Lastly I ran out of time yesterday to post the actual Hooker Bomb.
If you want the Golden Age version try this:
130 AA ZOOM
... Swingline(10), Protected(8), Alias(3), Frog Legs(3)
058 Tabitha Smith
088 8x R Con Artist
300
or the "classic" version:
086 WoS Nightcrawler
... Protected(8), Alias(3)
058 Tabitha Smith
031 R IC Jean Grey
026 R XP Iceman
088 8x R Con Artist
300
Gives you TK and Barrier at the cost of Flurry. Another option would be to have a cheap EW piece ready to finish off whomever Nightcrawler drags back.
