"A Green Lantern," a Manhunter robot noted its target.

"We must get through these others before we can get to him," a second said.

"We will. No man escapes the Manhunters," the third declared, shooting down Union Jack.

"More merciless killing machines," Zatara said. "I am increasingly convinced I am on the wrong side here."

"This is no time for scruples," the Shadow King said, tearing into Alfred's mind.

"Obviously," Zatara said resignedly.

Manhunter is one of those 'haven't you already played that' scenarios. We've done these enough that games bleed into each other.

Penguin makes a robot. It ports to K6.

I'll snag an Easy Company Medic. Just one. I like Grodd on his top click, at least a little longer. Needs 8 to heal Grodd, rolls 5. JC makes it 10. Heal is 1 which is all I need.

Flash hss to G18 attacking Troll. Needs 7, rolls 6. Break? 3. Ends in F19.

Penguin bot sides to M6. Pulses with a 10. Kos Signalman.

Grodd needs 5 to ko Troll, rolls 10. That's two down.

Flash can sidestep to Troll's square to block.

Zee boosts John's damage to 4. He'll rs to G11 needing 7 to ko the Manhunter in Q5. Gets 6. JC makes it 7. Done.

John finishes up by creating a wall over Signalman.

Do you ever find yourself wasting lots of time selecting a figure to play? Yeesh, that's been my morning. I have figures on a playlist ready to go but none that I really felt that time was right for. Black Orchid is next.

"A healer? On this battleground? It seems more than a little foolhardy," says Gorilla Grodd.

"Don't knock a gift horse. Sir," says the Easy Company Medic.

"Reporting for duty," Black Orchid tells her fellow JLA Dark members Zatanna and Constantine.

Oh, frequently. Sometimes the choice is pretty clear, and like you, I have a list, but sometimes it takes 20 minutes just to pick a replacement.

As for playing the Manhunter robots. I wasn't sure myself whether I'd done them or not until I checked my played figures list. They're certainly one of the Generics I like to play. And it doesn't help the confusion that DC also has like 4 other named characters calling themselves Manhunter, at least one of which I have played.

Zarrko goes back to heal

Zatara Perplexes the AV of Manhunter 1004 to 12, then Sidesteps to U10

1004 teleports to M17, tries to hit Flash, AV12 on DV18. Gets 7. SS is 2. 2 to him.

Zatara TKs Ultron to O11

Commissioner Gordon from JW comes in, moves to P11

Ultron Sidesteps to N11, bringing Gordon to O12, RCE on John, AV10 on DV17 +1 for Hundering, -2 for Gordon. Gets 6. Good enough. 5 +1 for Enhancement, -1 for TOughness is still 5 and that KOs John.

Silk comes in as my other replacement. RS to R8 on the Penguin Robot, AV10 on DV17. Gets 6. Zarrko makes it 8. KOs the Bot.

Since I left Ultron out where he could be a target for you, and he's low enough on his dial for an easy KO, I'll remind you of his Trait to keep him in play, and for priorities, he will use it on 1004 as my first choice. The other Manhunter as my second and the Drone if no one else is left somehow.

"You wanted some more heroic friends on your side, say no more," Silk said, webbing up the Penguin robot. "Your wish is granted."

"You're old and weak. You have no powers," Ultron asked Commissioner Gordon, while he turned his power on John Stewart. "Why are you even here?"

"I ask myself the same question every time the Joker or Killer Croc are loose in Gotham, but I'm not without certain skills and resourcefulness," Gordon answered.

Oh I am well aware of Ultron's trait.

Melter replaces John. Zee makes his range 7. Attacks Ultron. Needs 6, rolls 7. KOs the Manhunter in M17. Ultron rolls for healing: 1. At least Ultron takes 1 in the process.
He gets outwit, uses it on Ultron's indom.

JC tks Orchid to J10, she charges to M9. Attacks Ultron. Needs 6, rolls 9. KOs the other Manhunter. Ultron, I swear, rolls 1. He's still on the last click.

Flash outwits Ultron's sidestep and sidesteps himself to F17.

"You don't look like Iron Man but I can always pretend," the Melter says blasting Ultron who deflects the attack onto the Manhunters.

"I am not Iron Man," Ultron replies defiantly.

I wonder if we should limit how many times Ultron can do that trick. In a normal game he'd be limited by how many other figures I could include on the team with him. In this format, I could just keep bringing in robot replacements forever.

Well, that could go on forever. One on one hand, you/we should be able to do whatever we like (if we want to keep drafting robots for Ultron, go for it, as it was those robots were pretty costly for this trick). Or the other hand, it gets old. I'd say a three time limit, 3 seems to be our number.

Yeah, let's say three. Ultron can shrug off the damage one more time. And while I've kind of got the other drone for that, that click the Drone is on is really amazing. Seems a shame to waste him. So I will bring in Irma. Who is good for Perplex in the meantime.

Zarrko meanwhile drops his Time Marker

Ultron break to Sidestep? Gets 2. Attacks Orchid? SC is 4. AV9 on DV17. Gets 6. Zatara makes it 3.

Shadow King to L18, Outwits Flash's SS

Zatara and Irma Perplex the Ultron Drone's AV to 12

Drone Teleports to M17

Zarrko moves to R15

Drone on Flash, AV12 on DV17 +1. Gets 7. 4 to the Flash to KO him.

So, Irma gets it if you hit Ultron again.

"You may be keeping me occupied, but my robot army will destroy your allies," Ultron said, sparring with Black Orchid.

"Your army...of one?" Black Orchid pointed out to him.

Poor Flash. I didn't really do Barry justice.

Grodd rs to H8 targeting Ultron & SK. Rolls 10. 2 to Ultron, 1 to SK. Ultron again rolls for his trait: 1. Ok, that kos Irma.

Penguin does his trick. Zee sends the bot to the porter. It pops out at O16. Sides to N14. PWs. Gets 5. The only one hit is Ultron, koing him.

Batgirl's next. She sits put.

Black Orchid pushes, charging to N11 to block, attacking Gordon. Needs 7, rolls 5.

Time for new stuff, I won't commit to any of it yet.

"I can't reach the clone robot," Batgirl says, "But the main dude, I can work on him." Batgirl pushes activates a rocket launcher remotely and it slams into Ultron with devastating effect.

Who's in F17. I don't think it will matter, though it may give Shadow King something to Outwit.

Zarrko goes back to his Time Marker and heals

Gordon to break? Gets 1. Attacks Orchid then, AV10 on DV16 +2. Gets 2. Zatara makes it 5.

Silk RS to Q9 on her, AV10 on DV16, Gets 12. OK, she takes 3, KB to K14

Prometheus in now. Teleports to O16. Takes Precision Strike and PC, double targets the Penguin Bot and Orchid, AV11 on DV17 and 16, gets 4. His PC makes it 7. KOs them both. He Sidesteps to P18

Koi Boy is #2. Zatara TKs him to O14

He moves to K14
