This piece is just plain awesome. Very, very few pieces sport an 8 range these days, and the Charge/Flurry really helps against Stealth pieces. He's even better if you can afford to use Ice with him. If you haven't done serious damage by the time he hits the mid-dial, you've done something wrong.

This guy + GL:GF Sinestro 20 defense is funny

There's a butt-load of great Marvel figures from the last couple sets that have 8 or better range. About 1/3 of the 10th Anniversary set had 8. Chaos War and Galactic Guardians had a fair amount too. I think you're exagerating a bit.

Or is an 8 range less common among DC? I just did a range 8+ search and it seems so.

This guy won me a Clayface today! :) I gave him the Utility Belt and prepped him to +2 with Exploit. Two turns later I launched him forward with some TK from JL52 Enchantress and free 1/2 movement from FFSOG Oracle and Special Power Charge + Flurried him in for 10 Penetrating damage out of the gate. He ate Superman-Bats Chase in two separate games in 1 turn! I really, really like this piece.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but you can't use Flurry + Exploit

You are indeed mistaken, sir. Flurry basically reads "Give this character a close combat ACTION. After it resolves, give this character a close combat ATTACK as a free action..." So it works! The judge and I both agreed on it being legal. :)

Uh, it's not, though. Both require a close combat action in order to be able to be used, right? You can't do two close combat actions in a turn unless you have Multiattack. If Exploit or Flurry had the same wording as Blades (WHEN GIVEN a Close Combat Action...) instead of their current wording (Give this character a Close Combat Action), then you would be right.

you cannot flurry exploit together....your judge needs to read the rules better :)

Having read the comments here and re-reading the rules...yeah, I inadvertently cheated. :( I have never been a dishonest player, or a snarky know-it-all one either. The judge and I both misunderstood this.

Sorry to Balmung for arguing out of misinformation and thanks to Dark Flash2099 and Thanosstar for correctly pointing out my error.

maybe im missing something, but on his dial he never has the charge/flurry and exploit weakness on the same click; his ability with flurry is if he attacks the same character twice the 2nd attack is penetrating.
my bad he used the belts exploit; my error.

His special flurry allows him to do penetrating damage. You cannot use Flurry with exploit weakness anyways so it makes sense they dont overlap, once more, considering his flurry allows it to penetrate

Ice (SOG), BB/BG duo, and his trait grant him a 13 attack if they're adjacent to him. That's pretty good.

A pretty good team player. Quake is an asinine waste of points.

Should have been energy explosion instead of quake. Also, lack of Green Lantern TA kinda hurts. Not bad otherwise.

Pulled him Monday and other than the batcycles, i really wanted him. He is a good model of where this character is now in the comics. I plan to play him and my favorite piece, The Caped Crusader, tomorrow and win myself a Killer Croc.
