SCORE: 70%. If you are playing a high point game, this guy could be used as an expensive SUPPORT piece! A taxi that provides Energy Shield to everyone around him, and can break through 9-11 squares of wall or blocking terrain per turn.

In a 300 point game, he's going to have trouble hitting an 18 Defense, which isn't rare anymore. I don't understand why he has a range of 3, which works with exactly 0 of his powers. Feels to me like his range and his Exploit Weakness bumped up his cost and are keeping him from being a GREAT 80 point piece...

Use with TT Psimon. Adjacent friendly character can't be targeted with P/PB. Put Cannonball adjacent as well, character can use Energy Shield/Deflection.

A very good way to protect your bruiser until he can make his way up to the enemy.

For example, Nul. He will have Energy Shield/Deflection and can't be targeted by P/PB. Hitting from range will be hard to hit and you do, you have to get through Impervious.

YES. Avengers Keyword. Wish Sunspot had it too :( ....

Appropriately updated to be more effective and fit onto more powerful themes.

I was initially pretty hesitant about using him, since I just couldn't see myself taking him over any of the other New Mutants. However, that Avengers keyword really helps. I played him with SI Dr. Strange. It turns out that he's awesome in certain situations.

I love that he gets the Avengers KW but not the X-Men KW. #wkfailsagain #nothingew #statusquo

He's not an easy figure to use... the real issue with him is one of timing, whereby he has Impervious on the attack but a turn later he reverts to 16 Toughness, which he's then stuck with unless he can breakaway. A savvy opponent will simply wait him out and swat him. His main utility lies not in combat, but in rearranging the map and sharing ES/D. Use Cannonball to carve a path through walls and follow with your real threat pieces while providing hard targets for ranged counterattacks.

They should've game him a "Can use HSS, but only to make close combat attacks" special on his speed icon.
