Awesome looking set!

Thanks, man. Almost time to finish, just the secret six subtheme to wrap up and the last 2 nu52 members on my list (and the big name draws) to finish

I don't know if anyone noticed, but offshoot subthemes aside, I've been posting dials in order of the characters joining the squad

Hypnotic Haberdashery: Mad Hatter can use Mind Control, but only as a close action. When he does, attach the Enthralled marker to a hit target, removing it from anywhere else. Characters with an Enthralled marker are friendly to your force and opposing to your opponent's force. When a character with the Enthralled marker is hit with a close attack remove the Enthralled marker.
I'm Late. I'm Late. I'm Late For An Important Date
Time For Tea!
Thinking Cap: Mad Hatter and adjacent friendly characters cannot be targeted by Mind Control. Mad Hatter can use Mastermind to transfer damage to a character with the Enthralled marker, regardless of point value.

Holy crap! Next to permanent Mind Control? What?!

I mean, it's actually really fitting for Jervis, but just...holy crap!

Yes, sir. Some hefty teeth there. I was very mindful of the potency in this, so I included the proviso of being able to knock the hat off to end the effect. I also put a limit on the scope by putting the silver ring around him (as he certainly earned unique status) and fortunately the clixfx mechanic already has built-in safeguard to only allow 1 marker in effect at a time, so Jervis will just be passing the hat around (hat puns are very easy to make).

He also has fittingly low stats, albeit batman enemy helps the attack, but his ta, close only mc and limited mm as his only defense will keep him in the fight as well. All these things were intended to add up to a potent, but balanced, fun experience that elevates Jervis more than we've seen before

Baby Mama - nice. She is potent. The venom marker will make this a 50 pts well spent. Her 25 pts dial is rockin' too.

really like the layout of this dial. Savage is a great spin on the SS TA.

Enthrall marker is great (little sad because I have an almost exact duplicate of this power for a character I'm designing for a new set I'm working on. Now I will have to change it.) I was concerned with the mastermind power. I thought it should be whenever they are dealt damage remove the marker, but I think with the new wording of mastermind coming out later this year, it will be fine.

Cheshire
I designed her in an attempt to make her the ultimate poison piece, fittingly, loaded with all the powers that have synergy with poison, a simple and a clixfx mechanic that's like a second taste of it. Unfortunately, the new rules make her take quite a hit, but she'll still be good, just not as cutthroat

Couldn't resist the baby mama sc, it's a reoccurring tactic with her
scandal
I wanted to keep her mostly simple, but with fun strategic implications. Converting her ss ta into a guaranteed reset should let you play her more recklessly, and the optional can REALLY change the game. This is why I designed knockout with her potent but compact dial. Those 3 clicks of hers are begging you to take her out, especially given their disproportionate oomf. Played right, knockout's sacrifice play will not only heal the rest of your team, it'll reset scandal and super charge her fury
mad hatter
Yeah I saw his conditional mm as more of a deterent. Since he could only pass it to the enthralled, your opponent won't want to swing at him at all so long as one of his is hatted, so you'll likely give that guy the love tap you need to set him lose before going for the glass jaw of Jervis tetch

And I say go ahead with your design. I'm sure I'm not the first guy to come up with persistent mc, I just married it to clixfx (man, I love clixfx)

Ping Ping Ping Ping: STOP. Ragdoll and The Parademon can use Quake. When this click is first revealed, deal 2 penetrating damage to all adjacent characters. Ragdoll and The Parademon cannot be healed passed this click for the remainder of the game.

I Don't Know Any Jokes: Ragdoll and The Parademon can use Plasticity and adjacent opposing characters ignore knockback. When a character misses Ragdoll and The Parademon with a close attack, after actions resolve give that character an action token.

I would add "for the rest of the game" to the STOP power, since it could theoretically be "can't used" so that they could heal past it.

I really wish this were an upcoming set. I'm really impressed with how much variety and accuracy you've maintained despite such a limited range of point values.

I'd revise so it ends if no other friendly figures are on the map as well. Otherwise it will end the game far too often for a 50 point figure even with low attack values. The new outwit takes away a lot of the oomph (since someone can counter his trait mind control) otherwise I would still think he is too powerful.

i'm also fond of the dc75 secret six (as that was the last time they were a subtheme ), so when I embarked on making a of these 2 jokers, I was mindful of split/merge so that they're veteran cost would match the two of them together, while the experienced gives a nice sense of 2 50pters together and the rookie can give us 2 for 1 in a sampler portion.

the plasticity/quake combo is also the focus for this dial, and the anti-kb was the cleanest solution I could come up with for the conundrum, while also adding another layer to the representation of ragdoll's grip not letting them get kicked away under other circumstances. the sp was a late addition to better flesh out the breadth of the dial and make that quake focus even more potent as the yearns to be at the center of the battle, especially in anticipation of the big boom at the end
in that type of corner case, i'd say the opponent was asking for it in whatever shenanigans they were up to, but thanks, i'll put it in
thanks, owlman, that was my challenge this go-'round, to try and strike a balance in disparate dials at the same cost. i'm quite pleased it's worked out and I really do hope many of these character get made or remade soon
fair enough, but it would be no different than capture in that regard

Wow, I really like this Catman. His reclixing is long overdue.
I'm also looking forward to your first "proper" Batman dial.
