Would it be very comic accurate if these guys could break invulnerability? I mean aren't these just a bunch of regular soldiers?
If I'm wrong correct me, but I'm not sure that them being able to hurt Superman would make much sense to me.
Very true, but using that argument could backfire. Does it make sense for Captain America to hurt Superman? Should Wolverine be able to do that kind of damage to Superman, Hulk, Thor, you name it? You can't argue comic accuracy, but you can argue game balance. If these guys had above a 2 damage, then there could be issues with game balance in a swarm team.

Yes, both Wolverine and Captain America should be able to damage, even slightly, Superman, Spider-Man, etc...
In both instances, you're talking about enhanced humans (or enhanced mutant in Wolverine's case) with extraordinary skill, precision, and weapons.
The men from Easy, while formidable in their own right, utilize weapons that are from 60-70 years ago. There is a significant difference here.
I am quite pleased with the design behind the men from Easy, and feel that they are appropriately balanced in regards to the larger Clix universe.

No one's complaining about the Combat Reflexes, so I guess it's okay, but I would've figured on Energy Shield/Deflection instead. I picture them dug in and having a firefight, or trying to find a weak spot in a tank, rather than getting into close combat.

Spider-Man is a completely different story. But really, you're reaching if you're telling me Captain America is going to hurt Superman. Wolverine's claws wouldn't scratch him. At least translating "comic damage" into the game, I don't think Wolverine would do 4 damage (after reducers) if you're looking for true comic accuracy. Maybe 1 damage that he shrugs off and recoups from if they get a really really good hit in.

We are heading dangerously into the territory of Nerd-oneupmanship here.
You say one thing, I say another.
Regardless, notice while I say they could damage these folk, I never said they should win.

OK, I should settle down but it's the day after Veteran's Day and Wizkids gives us a repainted Easy Company figure as Sgt. Rock! Are you kidding! C'MON!
They are amazing.
Though I would have liked them to have a special power that was called "Grenades!" and it would normally do energy explosion. However, to show the effect of throwing a grenade under a tank, that if someone has impervious/invuln they get to do 3 damage (without the EE)
Give me Zoo Crew or give me Death
Then again feel free to ignore me (like people usually do )

Just wait, maybe we can get an Easy Company Medic too! They are worth taking up 3 slots in DC 75th, right?
Loving It! The Easy Company and Sgt. Rock were long overdue for remakes and WK/Neca didn't disappoint. Thanks for more great previews, this set is GONNA ROCK!
I'm really looking forward to playing Rock and Easy Company. I like the repaint on Sgt. Rock. It looks great. One benefit of having re-painted pieces is the Easy Company Soldiers look just as bad-### as their commander.
I ordered my case last night. I hope I get a bunch of these.
These are great pieces - but an observation I'd make is that a field of these guys with Sgt. Rock wouldn't be able to hurt any Invulnerable piece short of a critical hit, so even with Willpower they would be in for a bumpy ride. It's probably good to field someone like Nick Fury or a Punisher... or if you want to stay in DC, maybe sub in Montgomery Kelly (a Soldier with Outwit AND he brings in the PD TA!)
Combine the grunts with some Thunderers of Qward for great synergy. Damn, I guess the price of ToQ might go up now.
Ummmmm...these guys are awesome for any soldier-themed team. Since their minion powers are based on a common DC AND MARVEL keyword instead of a specific figure, they bring great versatility to a soldier team and are amazingly good for their points. What team doesn’t want leadership, shared 17 defense and free willpower? Awesome. Sculpts? Meh.
