Spiral has MoD to represent her various magical powers.. Yes, makes perfect sense. So why doesn't Dr. Fate have Legionnaire and Dr. Strange have spidey then???

I'll take back the GR in Ultimates then.. No problem. Can't say that I follow the Ultimates all that well, but why not spidey then? I know he's in the ultimates comic.

I can see why Wolverine needs the Ultimate X-Men TA... His AV blows. Again, I say that Logan is a more viable option on the flurry/bcf range, the unique wolverine w/the 12 av is a better overall option, and the regular x-men versions are good so that he can offload damage to/from someone in order to get into his regen mode.

Spiral has Doom TA because of the many groups she's been in...which is a semi quote from her playtip (back when they did those) written by Jon 'let's not give em any team ability' L. Not because of her magic powers...she would be a 100 point or more figure if she was doing everything she CAN do.

Oh, I agree, but with that token, though, there are a lot of figures that have worked in many groups. Beast would actually be a good candidate to be Spidey due to his affiliation with him, Defenders, and Avengers.

Still, so far, I'm not particularly impressed. Maybe Wednesday (either tomorrow or the next Wed's preview) will convince me otherwise, but so far, it seems to be this set is for the Ultimate fanboys. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just isn't what I personally want and actually it's converting me over to the side of DC as being the better portion of HC.

I never read this version of Ghost Rider, but back in the 80s, when I read Ghost Rider, I'd have simulated his hellfire with Psychic Blast. Burns the soul and pretty much ignores all defenses.

Remarkable that they ignored the most popular request for Cap, to give him Willpower, but most people seem happy anyway, so that's cool. Too bad he can't be played in an all Avengers team.

Don't know about Doc Ock. Outwit makes him a target, and everything else makes him an easily obtainable target. I thought ES/D would make sense, since they're not using that slot for Willpower, or anything else.

Spider-Man. They really seem dead-set against that 18 Defense with SS that all the fans seem to want. Until that happens, there will always be unhappy Spider-Man fans. Seems useable enough, though.

Punisher. You know, I didn't think of Smoke Cloud as one of the Punisher's signature powers. I'd have guessed Incap for his 'mercy bullets' (more recent Punisher fans may have to seek out his earliest appearances to know what I'm talking about) or Energy Explosion. He still looks pretty decent for all that.

The only thing that would have made cap sweeter is if the R had Avengers TA, to give us more options for theme teams.

Don't know if anyone else noticed this yet, but since Spidey is so low in the set, that means we're probably getting a Peter Parker LE.

I agree with many that Doc Ok and Wolverine leave a little something to be desired. Ghost rider is ok, but those activation clicks are like a kick in the nuts if you ask me. I just can't stand them.

I almost never complain about clix, and I would think that these new Ultimates previews would be hard to complain against. Still, most seem to really hate them.


I don't like Ultimates (the comics), but still, the different power combos rock.

Spidey with willpower?cool
Cap with Impervious? As I said in some other thread (or was it this one?) all his toughness, shield, and athleticism would warrant IMP.
Ghost rider..."boo hoo, he should have EW!" Gimme a freakin break! Your not happy with 4 Dam (w/nothing to outwit), 12 Charge and an 11 attack? get a life
Wolverine's ok... good attack, plus somethig new in supersenses. No EW? So what? he's gonna be IN EVERY SET! We'll get one eventually with EW
Doc ock is kinda a let down, only for the fact that Clobber time doc has so much more goin for him

After not convincing my friends to get a case of Unleashed, I think getting a case of Ultimates will make up for it

Thats odd since most people are complimenting the Ultimate Previews. Most seem to like them except for 1 figure.

I need Captain America right freakin' now.

Well, I'm just tired of seeing people say they're good EXCEPT... then really get heated up because GR doesn't have Regen, ets...

Yes!!! Finally...Captain America has come! I must have one...as soon as possible!

cool.

I would have prefered CCE on Cap instead of EW. BUt it's not terrible.

It's both. Get over it....

Me = Just had an orgasm

True, but this is the 90's version(and yes, there is a BIG difference)

Though I still don't see why he got Smoke cloud...
