I am hesitant to ask, but why does Wasp have the Wakanda keyword?
Also, regarding Power Man... What is the time frame for this figure?
He wasn't given ionic power until the Nefaria story in Avengers (issues 164-166 of volume 1 when they weren't rebooting to spike sales on a regular basis), but I thought that the next time he reappeared after that he took on the Goliath name.
So basically I thought that the Josten Power Man was ionically powered (justifying that trait) for all of 1 issue, and he didn't use a gun there.
What do you mean? His origin story is that he is Wonder Man 2 basically. He was always "ionic", wasn't he? Either way, I kinda vaguely remember all of his appearances in the silver age, but I cannot recall him ever using a gun. Not even as Smuggler, which would kinda make sense, but I can't really remember it. I might need to revesit all those books and see in which appearance he used a gun.
I'll take an Erik Josten Power Man any day of the week, but I'd still would have prefer his original costume.
And a bunch of random people do secret-agent-y stuff for Wakanda or what?
I mean, it's Wasp. She had never lived in Wakanda, expressed an interest in moving to Wakanda, or showed any great interest in Wakandan culture in all the years I read Avengers comics, but here she is in a book about some Wakandan-themed group because she was in the MCU and Black Panther was in the MCU and the Black Panther movie sold a lot of tickets and I am really hating what the MCU (and the writers and editors of the comics) have done to the comics.
I should probably just quit now, but I feel like I have waited too long for the return of the FF.

From what I know it's a S.H.I.E.L.D. analogue Black Panther organized as a sort of support team for the Avengers, because Hydra Captain America destroyed S.H.I.E.L.D.. I'm not a huge comics buff though, so grain of salt and all.

And spare us your page long critiques of all things clix and comic knowledge? Nooooo.

I might have my wires crossed here.
I know that Nefaria gave Whirlwind and Living Laser ionic power in order to super-charge and then steal their powers for himself.
I probably just lumped Power Man into that 'not ionically powered before but ionically powered now' camp.
Maybe he had always been ionically powered.
As far as the figure itself, I haven't seen it so I don't know what the costume is.

Engineer of the Sssneak Attack: Phasing/Teleport. When Sidewinder uses it, Passengers: 5, but only to carry characters with the Serpent Society keyword, and if he moves 5 squares or less, after resolutions, Sidewinder or a character he carried may make a close attack. King Sssnake of the Sssociety: Mastermind, Willpower
So we are just missing dials for Atlas, Blackheath (both we can assume are the remaining SRs), UC Captain America and a potential Hulk?
Also, really like Power Mans dial, for 65 points I feels like he takes real effort for an opponent to get rid of, but if he is ignored he will dish out considerable damage. Atlas will certainly have some competition for being the Erik of choice to field with Zemo. Real excited to see the big guys dial!
#030 Wasp
Real Name: Janet Van Dyne
Team: Avengers
Range: 5
Points: 75/40

Assembled Avengers: Once per turn when Wasp hits, after resolutions you may roll a d6. 5-6: If your force has 3+ friendly characters with the Avengers keyword, remove an action token from Wasp -or- give an action token to a hit target. If your force has 6+, do both. Espionage: Stealth, 웃: █, ⦿:█. Wasp-Sized Annoyance: Opposing characters within 5 squares can't use Improved Targeting abilities.
I don't know if I like this take on Janet as much as the Shifting focus version, but between the excellent sculpt and a few abilities unique to this Wasp she's definitely going on my want list.
I'd have loved to see Shape-Change on this dial, but with traited Stealth that would have probably been overkill.
With her targeting interfering ability she's going to be a friend to a stealthy scientist, Avengers, etc.
She's very pushable and although she starts out with P/PB that Incap isn't to be ignored, especially on a character that's going to be that hard to hit.

Dont forget that 40 pts leadership on top of all that. Increasing your action total is always a plus.
