I love this guy, but...seriously, can anyone tell me what the Pigeons are good for?? They don't tie up standard-sized characters anymore. Has anyone used the Pigeons to good effect and would like to comment on how to use them effectively?

This is a great dial that (sadly) has slipped a little in the rankings due to his point cost and the subsequent power creep of more recent, lower-cost figures. Even so, this figure should be able to serve as a mobile tent-pole for Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. teams made up of lower-point figures for years to come because of his offensive potential. Just be careful to not expose him to Outwit, and his defenses may hold out as well.

I have made custom images for his BSTs in this thread: http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=586154

Well, but they still need to breakaway from them, even if they have 2/3s chance of doing so succesfully.
