Joker's Henchman #3 is sort of like New Coke while Joker's henchman #4 is like Pepsi Clear.

So how does this work? When you give someone a token you boost their defense that turn? That seems excessively useless.

Not exactly, reread the power, as long as either character has action tokens they get a boost in the defense. If you have one action token, +1 defense, two action tokens, +2 D, of course you need to share a keyword or team ability with him.

What a great power. Eg: you have 3 figures including this one that shair a KW or TA. Two of them have a token on them, this give all of them +2 Def. Put his guy into the center of a mob of underworlders and they all get +3 def as long as at least 3 tokens are on any of the 9 total that can be in the block with him at the center.

If any 3 of the group have a token all get +3 def.

Is that right? That they all get bonus for however many the group have (assuming they are adjacent)? I thought it would be one bonus for each person depending on how many they each have (Joker has 1 token, and thus +1 def; Henchman #3 has one token and thus +1 def). If so, that's an awesome power.

normalview has confirmed that the bonus a character gets is based on the action tokens on that character only. So if three characters are all adjacent, the one that has 1 action token gets +1 to their defense, the one with 2 action tokens gets +2 to their defense, and the one with 0 action tokens gets nothing.

I think that works better. Though it would be cool, it would make this character way overpowered for the price.

Slap him on a Despodara team. Hmm...
