No question about it, Book of Skulls and Angrirs Hammer is the best tool for this guy. 👍
I'd question it. I put forward parallax possession and sinestro corp battery with your choice of nurse (to stall out for the win), sniper rifle or boxing glove. The parallax gives a near permanent +1 attack and enables the ring to give +1 to everything but damage, so better stat boosts than the hammer, plus access to two additional powers, one from the entity, one from the construct.
Oh, and the small matter of another +2 defense (essentially) against anything cheaper than him.
Sure it goes downhill if you hit click 12, but they have to hit your ludicrous defense first.
I like him with the Star Sapphire battery and the Nurse. If you happen to have 12 clicks of life you can just gift away, then kudos. But, you're probably not going to win that one.
Bizarro am now happiest billy goat never! Him able to be twice as healthy and hurt others much easier. Now him enemies will never throw out of party.
(Context: http://heroclix.com/announcements/he...icial-changes/ For those who don't speak Bizarro and contrary stacking: Bizarro is now sad troll QQ. Having a reasonable health cap and being explicitly only able to regain tokens via Support, so no Entity or other healing shenanigans, much less Steal Energy/Quake combo or Regen, makes him much less of the unkillable troll. I'd also argue that this actually makes him more consistently playable, since you can field him without getting dirty looks now. Like all Super Annoying Figures, his time is now past. Bizarro is dead, long live Bizarro.)

Feb 2015: JL Trinity War has have given us the CSA, playable and together. Twice. ROCK ON!
REClixed: Justice for Dmitri Pushkin (your sacrifice will not be forgotten)! New generic Rocket Red @50-75 points while we're at it? Still no 19DV Defender? (WoS Groot doesn't count)

...kinda irks me that now I'm being told that I can only play him at 150 points, with effectively 6 clicks of life. against the large numbers of psy-blast and precision strike, it renders him even more impractical and wasteful. I'd rather they hadn't insisted on capping him at 6 tokens instead of maximum 12, and as a result 150 points instead of 300
"A" is "A". And no matter what universe he's from, Luthor... is Luthor.

It's not "effectively 6 clicks of life." It's much better, since it takes that many specific instances of damage to remove all the tokens, whereas a simple 6 clicks can get plowed through in 1 or 2 shots from some heavy hitters. It is offset by the randomness of his dial, though.

My venue ruled since the number 300 is on the dial than Bizarro can be played as such and given the appropriate amount of tokens respectively. Wizkids needs to play test their products before they Shanghai their customers with errata and changes to their products. Changes prompted by the complaints of players who simply can't seem to adapt to game mechanics so they get them changed. If you wish to play bizarro as he was originally intended then stop by my venue. :)
(Sigh....now awaiting the Orange battery whining verdict)
So from how I read his ability each time you take damage you remove a token but not for each click he takes, so if you start with 6 tokens on him your opponent has to hit him 6 times.
Each time you are dealt damage, you calculate how much damage is dealt. You then remove one token and click him as many times as points of damage dealt.
So if you take Mystics damage, one click and one token removed.
If you take Poison damage, one click and one token removed.
If you are dealt 8 damage, eight clicks and one token removed.
Assigning him a fragment from the Phoenix Force and having him use Mystics is pretty rude - you have to deal damage to him 6 times and if it's not Poison or Mystics, that means you have to hit him 6 times, which means 6 points of Mystics damage back at you.
I think this is a great figure to run at 25, 50, or 75 points on a Legion of Doom team along with the "All My Teammates Are Useless" ATA.
Bizarro can sit adjacent to a higher point teammate. Some turns he can take a -2 hit to a nondefense power from the ATA to boost his partner. When he has a good opportunity, he can strike while on a good attack click. If he is next to a Masterminding figure like Lex Luthor, he can absorb a big hit of damage and only lose one token.
Uh, no. That was clearly eratta'd a while ago. Trust me, this is arguably my favorite piece of all time. I'd know if 300 was still legal. The Units even says "up to 6 tokens." I'm not a math expert, but last time I checked, 6x25 was 150, not a whopping 300.
And trust me, with as often as I play him, I can say he's still a steal at 150. You don't need to ignore the rules to play him well.
