My question would be about him giving Spectrum a "Skrullian Power Prism"......has anybody ever heard of the Skrulls having "Power Prisms"?

I know, I know, its doubtlessly a 712 thing, but that's the only thing we're told about it.

.....Anyone want to take a bet that Sk'ym'x just found some random power prism/jewel/crystal/gem and gave it to Joe and when he asked what it was Sk'ym'x just told him it was a "Uh...a Skrull Power Prism?".

That does sound better than "Hey pinky I found this weird rock that allows you to create hard light constructs and stuff. You're a good intelligence for a mammal, see if you can do some good with it".

hahaha, i always took it to be the 712 equivalent of the cosmic cube. but your explanation has wings, too

....You just like seeing Coulson die don't you?

Cheese is going to have a HUGE target on his back, especially with Power Elite.

Thankfully Activate All Furies means he's not going to be alpha strike'd into the map harder than an unprotected Red Leader.

....Also I have a lot of NFAoS Fury clix that I need to justify buying.....y'know on a completely unrelated note.

D.C.'s Greatest Heroes!: Oh, Phil is going to keep that Squadron train rolling right along.

From the flavor text I get the feeling that 712 Cheese might not be the upstanding guy that 616 Phil is?

sadly, that is 616 phil. le sigh. the story hasn't completely unfolded yet, but he's been resurrected by mephisto and is definitely drinking the koolaid . sadly, it's phil's turn for character assassination now that they've chewed up everyone else

nontheless, the fact that he rolled out a mysterious new (brainwashed) 616 version of the squadron supreme of america and with a straight face called them (washington) D.C.'s greatest heroes was just too yummy of a gag to ignore. and the simple inclusion of 1 gf piece lets me rep an entire additional iteration of the squadron, so here we are


this is also why much of the ff got the power elite kw tagged on to kitchen sink their different takes, but i reserved the power elite shared for phil alone. he'll be able to get plenty of fuel for it, too, just with the squadron alone. and i leaned in HARD to the d.c. gag so that mechanically proliferates the justice league unlimted shared for the squadron to make them feel more in the vein of

phil himself is a mastermind this go-round and his squadron pawns are prepared to do his bidding to a tee. the only one that's shown any resistance is colonel ledger, but doc spectrum was immediately retriggered with the rather convoluted keyphrase that's the flavor for the mc. so full-dial mm with a solid run of stealth and leadership ontop of his leadership-like d.c. makes him the shady man with a plan. the sp is a bit of fun to go with him showing a bit of his old self by nerdly pulling out the mothballed charlton heston-style nick fury lmds to use as his personal guard (their a limited edition!). so, i'm glad that sp appeals to your own collector's sensibilities

i really do hope the old phil somehow reasserts himself and shakes free of mephisto's influence. marvel is lowkey setting up the big red m to be a big bad behind the scenes thing that's percolating for the most part, so maybe he'll get a redemptive betrayal to save the world at the cost of himself kind of thing. :fingerscrossed:

(After revealing forces, you may replace character cards with their alternates. You can't choose a Team Up if your starting characters share a name).

I take it this isn't the Defenders Kyle right?

Because this guy seems....kind'a like a someone wrote Marvel "Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again A.K.A. The continuing spiral of Frank Miller into madness" fanfic.

Or maybe I'm just feeling reallllly tired of the endless tread of Marvel character assassination.

At least he doesn't continually narrate to himself about how...arousing he finds the city he defends is..he doesn't right?

I Thought We All Agreed Collateral Damage Was A Necessary Evil: I am very torn on this special, its incredibly useful and makes Kyle a consummate multi-combatant brawler....and the sentiment behind it makes me want to slap my forehead.

Gauges His Foes: With enough research Ba....Nighthawk can beat anyone!

Did they have to rope Thundra into this.....just ignore me, I'm feeling salty about anti-heroes lately.

Also I want Defender Nighthawk to show up with the rest of the team and school them hard....I mean it wouldn't be the first time the Defenders handed the Squadron their collective backsides....and that's when they were backed up by Overmind.

An excellent dial for a character that I'd probably never want to run....is it wrong that I want to get a bunch of the dials and use them for super ninja ( no plurals in Japanese! )?

"Oh Daredevil, yeah I've got some Ninja you're not going to walk over so easily"

Oh no, my friend, this is nighthawk from earth 31916, better known as the supreme power universe. Think nighthawk as sponsored by the black panther party. He's ... not a nice guy, certainly the militant antihero you pegged him as. As the sole survivor of his dimension post-incursion, he assembles a variety of cross-dimensional expatriates to make their new world a better place despite their diaspora and that starts with revenge on namor. Definitely a change for some of the characters coming along as they try to process their grief and new purpose, but Robinson steers the journey from that initial place of lashing out to a "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?" kind of resolution

The collateral dmg "ends justify the means" chestnut (that's never said by folks about to do something good, just saying ) is meant to make this Kyle a merciless map threat. He can always "shoot for the moon and land amongst the stars" so you won't feel you're wasting shots against those frustrating targets, so scratch away at those hard to reach areas

That and his gauge :star's chicanery is deliberately a nti-white as the method of demonstrating his skill in planning against superpowered does. Certainly cheeky, certainly character accurate, hopefully fun and SR worthy.

Because he represents a distinct dimension, I also gave him a team up card for supreme power. Here the ttpc effect is trying to represent the rapid escalation of events that we all knew weren't gonna work out going into this 2000s remix of a doomed story

Through The Lens: Sidestep. At the beginning of your turn, choose a standard power that matches the color of Dr Spectrum's printed defense power, or 2 if she has 1 action token. She may use the chosen powers until the start of your next turn.

.....I mean who among us hasn't wanted to slap Namor at some point?

Through The Lens: damn it Baron I was all set to dislike this sub-sub-theme and then you go and pull this crazy awesomeness.

You've turned her into a balanced Swiss Army knife, you'll be able to push onto a needed click and switch up when you need it and you've given a good incentive to keep forging ahead with the ability to double down on powers when she has one token.

I kind of want her to have TK, but that would ruin the symmetry of that beautiful spectrum dial.

I do admire a woman with a mission ( get out her way! ) and I can't help but think that Flurry-Blades is going to make for an attack worth pushing for top dial.

Also she has Inhumans keyword and I can already think of a TON of character synergies for those teams.

"Oh Lockjaw, your transportation services are needed!"

yay! i made you like her, na na, i made you like her

nenet was a good gal. the great society had a justice society kinda vibe and their ignoble deaths at the hand of namor, which she witnessed firsthand, was devastating. she, of course, made it personal but once passed it and moving forward with their plans of proactive heroism, she really tried to keep everyone focused on right. and in the end, she was part of the plan to bring namor back because she saw how the world and as importantly the themselves were deteriorating on account of the act. she had a great arc on letting go of the anger and healing. when you hold onto pain, you know what you've got? pain

her power prism is mystical, hence kw and ta, and functions just a tad different. i tried so hard to be cute with joe's dial, really hard, but it just wasn't working and i went with the different direction you saw before. but i was able to make the cute dial work with nenet (we have no idea if it's a first or last name), though . i trimmed a lot of complications and just let the steady-freddy defenses be the anchor (you'll always want defense) and let the rest of the spectrum and constructs and whathaveyou flow from that baseline. it's simple enough to pass muster as a common, but with enough punch to play complex. she is fairly vulnerable to outwit as it'll be easier to call what she'd like to use, but dems da breaks, honey. though, as worded, you wouldn't be able to outwit her defense and prevent her , just get rid of optimal choices. and that kind of a setback on a PaP is something i can get behind.

she gets inhumans kw, not for being one, but for joining their ranks. as the illumaniti's world destroyer was erasing her world to prevent its incursion with 616, black bolt had a moment of pity and pulled her quasi-conscious form from the battlefield during their exfil. so she was extra perturbed by having anger over the literal end of the world mixed with gratitude for her rescue. she didn't know if she wanted to fight bb or hug him. but through a teamup with toro, she found a way to make peace with him first, which i think helped her to deal with namor. in the end, after the band broke up, she goes off and joins new attilan

Now onto the bruisers. And who better than to start with than the ultimate bruiser.

The backbreaker gif is classic.

This guy is a beast at 300 points. That top dial is going to be vicious with its 12+ attack value. I mean not hard to make that a 14/6. Woooooweee

Steal Energy when he's by himself is just the edge this guy needs at 300... well I know the Super Senses will go a long way. The steal energy's nice because it plays on all the dials.

Another nice promoter dial.

You are just trying to get me to love this guy aren't you? Free incap after P/T? That's all you had to say.

But that's not all this guy's sportin'. Arrange a Fight is a crazy power. In the modern era with the team building friendly point values, this power has a decent change to be fully executed. This would be so much fun to pull off.

Reverse Psychology, oh what a great power. Such a great combo of name and power.

The Don't jump to Conclusions is another great power. Stealing the grand entrance and l/c from the other team. That's going to help you gain positioning early in the game.

But I can't stop. Reserve Psychology is just such an awesome power. I mean...

So good.

To me, thor is a hard one to get right. I mean in wide swaths, he's not hard, but to drill down to the core thor, it gets a little difficult.

That said, you've crafted a excellent thor dial. One of my checks is more damage close than range, so the CCE checks that box. He needs EE and PW at some point - check. Bonus points for the Donald Blake dial...

No you've done this, but so much more. The forced switch after a humbling event is just brilliant. You've done a great job balancing the switching mechanisms.

Good work here.


I wanted to get through the all the bricks so I could hurry and check out the Squadron Supreme dials...something I've been itching to see...but alas, I've started a new project and free time is precious, so I'll have to finish the rest soon. Hopefully before the this weekend, I can get to some of the Squad dogs.

(After revealing forces, you may replace character cards with their alternates. You can't choose a Team Up if your starting characters share a name).

.....going out on a limb here....not nice?

The Myriad: I see Badoon ( at least without the qualifier "Sisterhood of Badoon" ) and I know nothing good is going on with that team.

I've got to say that is a mustache twirler ( huh, is their a female villain equivalent to that? ) of a villain dial. How in the heck did her Squadron Supreme teammates not spot her....lets say extreme moral flexibility?

I do take it that this is the woman that stole 712 Zarda's powers?

I Stopped Feeling Guilt Long Ago, always the kind of thing you want to hear a "Hero" say, never a portent of disaster to come. I imagine her following this up with "The ends justify the means" and "You can't make an omelet without a little genocide".

I'd have to have this dial, the chance to actually make a playable Badoon force (...I'm a classic Guardians fan OF COURSE I bought too many Badoon! ).

Now I want to break out my classic Guardians and have a game...man I miss playing Heroclix.
