This guy looks like a must have for any Arkham team featuring the Joker, a little outwit for that three dmg Joker is dealing out.

His trait would have caused some serious troubles in sealed play for this set, but as it stands with only a "4 range" he's really not as much of a nuisance as he should've been, especially for the points. Plus if you use his mind control it's more than likely going to knock two clicks of him, putting him on flurry (sweet) with an 8 AV (sweet if you have another dial with the Batman Enemy TA) and a 1 damage (not so sweet at all). All around for 89 points he's pretty weak sauce.

Oh, oh, oh... I loves me some Monster Mashing...
That power is going to be awesome in the right situation...
I really can't wait to start playing Dr.Frankenstien with my figures.
Gimme Gimme.

Hugo here is gonna be awesome! Monster Men serum? I can't wait! Fun piece, but in reality may not be great for super-competitive games unless they're high-point.

Ill have to see him in play to get a better handle on him.

Killing Outwit and Perplex is a nice touch!

Oh the games I will try to play with that trait. Another one in sealed that will be great.

I see this guy wrecking strats in tournaments. Oh, you have x2 scarlet witches? Awww.. poor thing... LOL

I love the trait although I wish it were beyond 4 squares. He's a bit expensive for what he does and not quite Hugo Strange in my mind but glad to have him.

Too easy to take down, IMHO. His saving Grace is his trait, but it also put him close proximity to opposing characters, making him vulnerable. I also don't like that it prevents his own team members from using Perplex and Outwit when they are within 4 squares. I guess that is a trade off for being able to give them Charge, Super Strength and Quake. Probably won't field him.

This piece will be fun in large skirmishes but in smaller games I don't think he is worth it even if that special power is fun.

He's worth it for the ability to buff comrades, let alone nerf outwit and perplex within 4 squares. Get in close, and tie-up an enemy and enjoy an unoutwittable 18 defense against that character. If it's a HSS'er outwit HSS, if it's a sharpshooter, outwit that :-D so many options.

My mom always taught me if l don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

l'm going to remember that lesson right now.

Unfortunately, this was another figure that I wanted to like but was somewhat disappointed in. I don't mind his damage being low, and I think that the attack SP is brilliantly designed and will allow for some fun tactics, I just think that his attack should either be higher for that mind control, or he should have some sort of protection against feedback damage. A decent support piece, but I think the price may be a bit too high to field him.

A free action to turn anyone into a charging brick? Ok! He's a little expensive for being a support piece, but that special used at the right time can be a game changer. Also, you know all those figures that you wish started on their second click? Wish no longer! Strange is here to make your dreams (and/or nightmares) come true! But seriously though, he can give anyone on your team Charge just by standing next to them. The super strength and quake are really just icing. His cost may make it hard to put him on a team that can defend him, but he's going to be a game changer.
