How is it that Catman gets Martial Artist but Prometheus doesn't? I swear, it's like they just draw keywords out of a hat sometimes... remember when they randomly gave Martial Artist to Carnage?

The thing is w/o the helmet Prom's just a guy in a cape. At best he'd get Assassin from how he was portrayed pre-Infinite Crisis when Hush and Joker were having it out in the third-wheel Bat-book.

That's a common misconception with Prometheus, but it's not true. His whole shtick is that he's an evil Batman who did all the around-the-world training Bruce did, except ~evil~, and then built the helmet to supplement those skills. So if you count Batman as a Martial Artist (did a quick check and seems like he gets it 1 out of every 3 clix), then Prometheus counts too. Also, the Prometheus in those pre-Infinite Crisis Bat-books was actually his sidekick who stole his gear and then putzed around pretending to be him until the real deal came back and killed him.

Why no Suicide Squad??? I've been waiting to replace my Vet Catman! Grrr....

@Rikaman117: Back in Origins days it was custom to assign TAs like Suicide Squad to figures from "sub teams" that were deemed not significant enough to get their own TA (hence stuff like Hellfire Club members with the Brotherhood TA and Freedom Fighters with the JSA TA). Since the advent of ATAs this practice has been discontinued, as seen by the new Scandal and King Shark also losing Suicide Squad. There's always the Secret Six ATA, which is good, but you have to pay an extra 3 points a fig for it. And since I spent my last comment babbling about Prometheus -- I was really hoping a new Catman would be around the 100 point mark since Secret Six Catman was good enough to fight Deadshot to a draw. This one's not terrible, but like the new Prometheus, the dial's bland and not really an accurate indicator of the character's strength (and yet somehow we get a 200 point Harley. Gotta love dat Popularity Power!)

To echo my sentiments from the dial thread, a Split point line dial would have served him well, but seeing as WK are focused on their gimmicks, he makes out OK. hopefully the full Secret Six stat bump will really push him beyond his points bracket, but still a little sad that we wait a decade for a redo and he ends up a little weak and bland*

Simple dial, but great stats for 50 points. Catman can do a lot of things, and fits into a lot of teams. Great piece.

Seems like people are always underestimating this Catman. They either don’t see him as the one initiating the action or when they do prepare for him to come in, they forget about his range. The only thing with him is with his trait in full effect, it is sometimes hard to want to use B/C/F when you can just guarantee 3 damage.

I played him in a tournament last week, two matches in a row he charged in, smashed someone with an attack, dealing a OHKO. Catman is a beast.

So am I correct that as long as the current force I am playing is six figures, I get the +1 to all stats, regardless of if a figure gets K'O'd?

If a figure is KO'd, your force has 1 less character. You can keep the count at exactly 6 by using characters who create bystanders.

do you have a rules reference for that? Because looking in the rulebook it seemed to imply differently....

-oops....never mind. Frak....

Just note that if you create bystanders, and bump your force up to seven or more, Catman loses his +1 bonus.
