Harrier and Cyclone are Spidey villians so assuming both of them plus Joystick could show up in a set later down the line. Maybe even Absolute Carnage.

Could be Black Knight or Klaw or even Scorpion. Mortal Foes for Giant MaMan,Black Panther, or spidey,

I like to think of it as him shrinking the objects down

That’s better, but the flavour text shows that wasn’t the intended idea. Also, Hank Pym should be able to grow giant-sized. He’s Marvel’s biggest (haha) size changer. Or at least he was before the MCU gave Scott the spotlight.

She means business.

I've been sadden to see Kamala Kan taking the spot of the giant in the back in promotional materials. Nothing against her, but that's Hank's spot.

I’m glad to see someone else who appreciates the visual appeal of a giant in a group shot.

Since Hank is busy being “dead” (because we wouldn’t want to confuse the MCU fans), I don’t mind Kamala taking that spot in the meantime. I like her, and I’m glad someone is still using size changing in both directions. Cassie Lang did that, too, but she barely shows up anymore.

I would much rather have Pym back, though.

That Sidewinder is great! Definitely want to bust out a Serpent Society team with him.

Agreed. He gives them one of the things they desperately needed.

Now if only they could get some support powers - Perplex? Outwit? TK would still be helpful...

"Whistles" Wow, now that is a Daisy Johnson means business.

Her "Quake" special is combined with Espionage is going to catch some sealed players by surprise and with the shared Assembled Avengers trait ( which should be possible to pull off in sealed ) she's got the chance to either keep on hitting or throw her main target for a loop.

Lets hear it for the new "Power Common!".

While I am nowhere near that, the previews have me excited for sealed events. The games should be interesting, although I am concerned they are going to be long and slow - I am curious to see if my expectations are correct.

I wonder if this set was billed as Thunderbolts: Justice Like Lightning or Masters of Evil: Avengers Under Siege from the get go, and they focused on the villains with the initial info-release, if I would have a better feeling about the set.

I am curious about getting many of the Masters of Evil and some T-Bolts for my Marvel villain squads.

I don't expect to keep many of the heroes / generics because I really do have a lot of them and honestly, I'm not one to use Iron Man, Thor, Black Panther, Captain America, etc often because I face them a lot and I actively avoid using figures my opponent's often use.

I will attend the pre-release and I am considering buying a few singles that first week due to the release week Floor event where I need 150 points from this set (if I can pull an interesting 150, I won't buy any singles until the prices drop). I am looking forward to using this set for our WKO sealed, too.

But for me, there is NO WAY it comes even within sniffing distance of:
Fantastic Four set
JLU (best set of the year)

and even the Carnage set (presuming we get TONS of Spider-Verse alternate Spider-Mans and the other characters).

I will have fun with the pieces I play and I will be targeting a few pieces, but I think I will likely keep in my collection somewhere between 9-14 pieces, which is on par for Avenger-Centric teams.

Am I the only one that's dying to know what the uncommon 18a Captain America does?? Lol

For 10 points you can have both in the form of a Reality Gem.

I do indeed often turn to the Gems to fill out the missing powers from a Theme Team: Reality for TK and Perp, Space for Taxi, Time for PC. But I’d rather just play with the figs if I can. I’m bummed that Sidewinder didn’t have some Outwit or PC.

Sidewinder feels like he's worth more than 30 points to me.

Sooo much better than the old rookie I have at 24 points.

Edit - That's not why I say he feels like he's worth more than 30. LOL.
