Solid stats and near-accurate power set (missing EE). Wish he had the Stormwatch keyword this time around, though. Needs Gen. Lane to tag along.for Enhancement and Outwit, given the lack of RCE.
Now if we could jsut have gotten that giant robot version of Brimstone, I could re-enact that first episode of JLU with Nate, Kara and Ollie... I omit John because he spent most of that episode in the Javelin medbay. But seriously... this guy's got some punch. my only complaint is that there's no "radiation absorbtion" power going on... he should be able t ignore psy blast and pulsewave, or be given a token and actually heal from pulsewave or penetrating damage or maybe even poison... (not exploit)but that'd likely render him da uber broken
"A" is "A". And no matter what universe he's from, Luthor... is Luthor.

We're getting a colossal version of Brimstone. Won't that suffice?
Most of these design elements I expected to see on a new Captain Atom figure, and being a common prime doesn't irk me that much since they tend to be super easy to accquire. What is vexing is that as a Prime, Major Force should be the other figure based on old design trends. I AM glad we got Guardian, and a good one, but this is a shoe-horned setup if ever there was one. Anyway, as stated no EE/Pulsewave or even interaction to those powers is actually a bit disappointing since such powers already exist for energy absorbers. I find myself not complaining too much, hoever, since this is a new Modern Legal Nahtaniel Adam that cleans the clock off the old ones every time. No activation click, Indom, inexpensive for the boom that is brought, good values all around and can dish it and take it. I'll probably get two, just so I can mod one with the old flying sculpt.

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)

I love that they brought back Super Buddies as a keyword........However they didn't take advantage of this keyword during the Streets of Gotham and Batman sets when other key members like Fire, Ice, Guy Gardner, Booster Gold, and Blue Beetle all got new carded figs. Why Wizkids........Why.....
CONTAINMENT SUIT RUPTURE: Captain Atom can use Toughness. Captain Atom can use Regeneration as a free acition and the d6 can't be rerolled. When he does and the roll is a 1, deal 2 penetrating damage to each character within 3 squares of him, then KO Captain Atom.
Assuming only Captain Atom is left on his team. CA rolls a 1 for Regeneration and KO's all opposing characters in the process. In connection with the highlighted text, does CA's team wins (everyone else got KO'd before he does). Or does CA still have to resolve the action and ends the game with a tie?

From the rule Book:
"A HeroClix game ends when any one of the following situations occurs:
-Zero or one player has characters left on the map after all current actions have been resolved"
So you have to kill him and take the tie, unless you are playing Victory Points.
First: It's about time that Captain Atom was remade! I have no complaints about the cost/dial except some 'accuracy' issues: Super Strength was never really his thing, making this a prime may hurt some teamups, the lack of some keywords is peculiar given how unlikely he is to be remade, and can we please get a cost-effective Captain Atom without Earthbound!!!
