Not being much a fan of the Hulk set as a whole, this is one thing that actually does not make me sad. Reigning in the range game makes 0-range characters more viable in a game that has always unfairly favored the ranged character when it comes to value for the points.

Perhaps Hulk should have looked something like this:

U FEMINIST HULK

SMASH PATRIARCHY: Feminist Hulk has Battle Fury and Defend. Characters cannot use Mastermind or Leadership.
Defense - HULK ENGAGE IN CO-OPERATIVE ACTION: Feminist Hulk can use Impervious. When an adjacent friendly character removes tokens, heal Feminist Hulk 1 damage.
Damage - SMASH GENDER BINARY: Feminist Hulk modifies his attack value by +1 for each friendly character to which he can draw line of fire which has 2 action tokens.

(A dial for Twitter's fantastic Feminist Hulk.)

Hey, great article! Your best, ever!

Lots of good points, lots of great comparisons, lots of justified criticisms of the set. Well written with some nice touches of humor thrown in. Looking forward to the next installment!

how can this be a gravity feed when they are not like the gl gravity feed boxes. It like street fighters not like gow heroclix to be a gravity they have to be pulled down by GRAVITY and whell you pull them out one fall down that a gravity feed

defenders glory ... aint that like one of them thar oxy dumb things like jumbo shrimp ?



Seriosuly though was he really strong in the defenders or should I just hold my breath until mighty avengers?

(and I'm really not trying to rip on the defenders, the only comic I have read that had the defenders in it was Twisted Toy Theater and Ultimates in both of which they were made to be jokes)

Great article - I agree about She-Hulk being the best fig in the set - best sculpt, too. For too long have artists and sculpters depicted her as just some green woman who's kind of in shape. No, lets pack on the muscle, please. Women with muscle pwn, especially when they're green.

I don't know if this was mentioned ... (i'll admit it, I read the first page of posts and the last page)

But for those saying "Hulk is basic - he can't be high points" I say have a look at Sauron. With a couple of changes that could have been a great Hulk dial.

Swap the Epic Action and Trait for Trait - Hulk has Super Strength
Change "THE SHADOW ACROSS THE LAND" into Leap/Climb instead of P/T - change all P/T to Leap/Climb
Change "ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL" to "Super Clap" or "Hulk Smash" or something like that. Maybe drop it to 8 range instead of 10 range. Otherwise keep it the same.
Keep the un-outwittable portion of "RING OF POWER" remove all the outwit, expand damage numbers.

Now you've got a Hulk to write home about and it's probably between 250-300 points.
