Hahahahahaha. Oh man, here's a funny story for you guys.

Ok so I finalized a deal with a friend who lives downtown that would see me trade my Quasar and Peanut Cap for his Deadpool so I can build my Frightful Four team. He said he'd come by Monday or Tuesday after work to trade with me and we could play a few games. I said great. He also said he'd play in a sealed this weekend. I said to myself "hey its one piece out of the set, and an SR no less. What are the chances he'd pull it and screw up the trade?"

Well, evidently, the chances were pretty damn good, as he pulled Quasar in sealed, negating our trade.

Seriously, what are the odds?

It's really indicative of the potential that's there if he throws his natural restraints away -- for better or worse. Keep in mind that's the identity he assumed when he had that mental break, even believing that he had killed Hank Pym... and being happy that he did.

I also pulled nothing rarer than a #036 Armadillo.

Rep for Runaways love. I can't wait until finally Alex gets made.
Something like this:

R Alex Wilder
Team: No Affiliation
Points: 56
Range: 0
Keywords: Runaways, Teen

7 8 16 2

6 8 16 1

5 8 15 1

5 7 15 1

4 7 14 1

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

TEAM STRATEGIST: Alex Wilder can use Perplex. He can use it normally, or he may choose to modify the same combat value for all friendly characters with the Runaways keyword.
BETRAYAL: Alex Wilder can use Mastermind and can Mastermind damage to any character regardless of point cost as long as it shares a keyword with Alex Wilder.

Oh, yeah. Sometimes it seems clear there are mischievous to malignant forces playing with reality.

As it turned out, there were two of us today who brought the one extra SR from the set we'd each pulled - Quasar - and each with the same idea: Looking to see if someone pulled a MODOK and was interested in making the trade. No one pulled a MODOK today.

Zemo and his trait is absolutely bonkers.

You can't get past the first pushing damage click for the second token, but the ability to go without damage for every single turn after you've already got the two on you...whooooh.

ACTION ADVANTAGE!

Hold on to your butts.

I have a tale to tell that's not of woe.

Near my job there's a gaming store. I stopped by to see if they had any 1:43 scale Smart Cars because I thought they'd be great as Light Objects, but they don't carry any die cast.

So, I was tempted to pick out a booster.

The guy who worked there started picking out boosters and feeling them up to see if there were any MODOKS he could cherry pick for me. (I didn't ask him to do this, he did it all on his own.) He found one that he thought was heavy. I felt it and said that, from what I'd heard, MODOK was WAY heavier than that.

He let a girl who worked there feel the booster and I decided that I had to buy it because both of these employees had picked Duos from GSX for me.

I got a Hydra guy and Baron Strucker.

Too dang sweet since he was one of the SRs that I had given up on getting.

You forgot about the smell :-s

I think most of the super rares feel heavier. I picked up one booster, went back and decided to grab a second. Checked out and saw a buddy of mine was buying Mana for Magic since he just got back into the game. Went outside and was talking to him and decided to open my boosters. The first one was light and had a bunch of generics in it. The other one when I picked it up to open it felt heavier(when I grabbed it I just picked it up by the tab up top and stuck it ontop of my comics so didn't notice then) and Johnny was in it.

Anyway, enough Cap. Bring on the Superman!

I am still hoping for Doomsday as a generic in the set!

NEWS FLASH:

Peter Jackson is ruining another Tolkien story and Haven will dislike it

The fact that he's trying to make one of the dwarves look like Duncan MacLeod and another look like a Yu-Go-Blow/Magic User (that doesn't exist in the freakin' BOOK) and all of them have stylized weapons from a BAD episode of Xena is enough for me.

I'll stick with the bad songs and big noses in my Rankin Bass version.

Why can't Smaug eat Peter Jackson?

And Michael Bay while he's at it?

Are you making reference to a specific comic event?

At least he isn't trying to add in Gandalf the Pink or something...

Doomsday was originally a weapon made by a Kryptonian terrorist cell, but then it was weaponized and mass-produced by...Lex Luthor? The US Gov't?...someone as an anti-Superman precaution.

A Doomsday Army.

Yup Lex Luthor cloned a bunch of Doomsdays in Reign of Doomsday. There were three active ones that was hunting and collecting the Superman family. One of the LEs could then be Cyborg Doomsday (got "killed" by Cyborg Superman but then put Cyborg Superman's nanotechnology into his own body which rebuilt him...)

M'kay.

Apparently I was referencing a completely different army of Doomsdays.
