Who knew that an aluminum sombrero would compliment Borat's bathing suit so well?

Great character! High combat values and damage potential, for a relatively low point cost! Plenty of damage reducers on top of that. No Battle Fury is a pleasant surprise. Works great with Fabian Cortez!

I'm surprized that he doesn't have the twelve keyword.

That outfit is.... pretty "outfiterrific".

Its kinda sad the designer didn't research the character more extensively. He has the mutantcabiliry to absorb COSMIC power. In the age of cards and specials I really think he should've had a special that eventually gave him the power cosmic TA. (Just like they beautifully did with the High Evolutionary figure) There's no excuse for the designer to use an OLD golden age gimmick of changing size by way of earthbound neutralized. He should've had a special that allowed him to transform mid-dial. I mean come on! He's in a set full of specials and he's using the golden age 'Activation click ' mechanic? No excuse. Either its laziness or the designer didn't know what design tools he had. As he produced the living monolith as if he were an old vet figure. Moving on to the figures dial.....

This figure actually has some really good things going for him. His damage reducers are nothing short of amazing, paired with his 'Triangle' shaped dial that peaks mid-dial instead of top or bottom works well with his design. Even if he's shot through his weak activation click he's going to end up on his best clicks...impervious and good attack values. The one thing that shines the most is his damage value....he has INSANE damage potential for his points, dealing five damage from 8 squares away. The earthbound allows friendlies to essentially carry around a 'Giant bomb'. Drop him, push him and destroy egyption style! He has a healthy mix of both close and ranged powers that allow him to act as a diverse Swiss army knife.

His weakness would be his attack values. Even at their peak he only gets a 10. They start low and end low ineffectively making this guy a glorified tie up character. His aesthetics and powers would suggest to the player that he's a secondary attacker..but the AV would suggest otherwise. Also it is painfully obvious how outdated his design is. They used old tricks and gimmicks instead of handing this guy modern mechanics. A powercosmic special as well ss a growing and shrinking special would be appropriate. All in all I like him. I know for a fact he will never be remade....so I guess we should enjoy what they gave us.
