Amazing. At first he looks "meh", but there is untold potential here. From the more competitive "Put a Utility Belt on him" (and the best 'Stop Click' I think we have on a WL) to the fun of pairing with IG Gardener, Moleman Monsters, & NML Poison Ivy on those big fun builds (you know "1000 points NO colossals").
It isn't obvious at first but Swampy here is a great hit & run fig. That's for the best since his AV & DV are a little soft. Let him pick up a hammer and go to town on whoever he crosses. He may never even get to use his other powers (aside from Life) because of the wonky placement on his dial.
While only keyworded as a White Lantern, he features accurate elemental powers and excellent KO-prevention powers. His trait is very powerful, allowing him to move anywhere unrestricted, create hindering and attack for free.
Best of all, he's half your build in 300 point formats, giving you just enough breathing room for a brick or lots of support.
So, if with his RESTORE THE GREEN trait, you can only place hindering terrain markers in clear squares, how is it that he would be making an attack on an opposing character occupying one of these marked squares that he just placed?

The rulebook defines clear terrain as, "Areas of the battlefield where a character can move or make a ranged combat attack without penalty."
It is possible for a character to occupy clear terrain.
I like this figure both in clix and in comics...but part of me wants to just sculpt swap Aang from last airbender the show...so looks like I'm going to have to get two.
Played him in Sealed and he is pretty awesome. Though I did not win my event, his "hit and run" trait is pure gold, if used correctly.
Though I really like him, I found two big flaws:
a) Low Attack Values made me quite a few too many misses for someone you re paying 150 points for. Thankfully Indomitable helps for being able to try again next round if you missed your big hit.
b) According to his trait, he can only use it to attack squares "Just Placed." So, if the opponent figures this out and chooses to stand on previously made terrain markers, than Swamp Thing becomes a sitting duck in the corner, completely nuetering his initial strategy.
Pair this guy up with Bizarro.....even at just one or two tokens there's a good chance your opponent will flip the table and put a hole in the wall with their dice.
I'm just now looking at this guy's dial, and literally I'm laughing at the ideas that come to mind of how I'd use him (eerily close to mad scientist). He has become my Number One want from this set.

That is why you team him up with a fig that can Poison opposing figs in Hindering Terrain.

You can't actually revive Bizarro with his ability, because it requires you turn him to his "last non-KO click" and SLOSH Bizarro doesn't have one.
Tell me something "EndOsiris" isn't the focus of heroclix to enjoy the game and have a good time or too frustrate and piss your opponents off to flip the table and put a hole in the wall with their dice? If that's the case what is the point of fellowship? hmmm? That is a good way to be seen as an ass of a player who people won't want to play with and I wouldn't blame them.
