I object to a range value of 5 on a 74 point character.

As to the comic accuracy of her powers, sure, she should only have 5 range. So reduce her point cost.

You can go ahead and play her, I won't stop you. I'll be investing my team points in other figures.

I don´t think it´s about that... it´s about a character that is clixed and won´t be used ever as it´s overcosted !! ...or anyone seen a game with someone using Anaconda just for laughs?

Here is hoping for a decent Serpent and Initiative ATA's will help out this mediocre dial.

Ugh, you got Bad Romance in my head.

Yep, this.

God forbid you have to, y'know, use strategy and positioning to make a figure effective.

Also, not seeing how she's overcosted. At all. RS down the dial, with added mobility on the tail-end, CR for up-close (which, her being a secondary attacker, should give her a decent enough DV to survive late-game), ESD starting (18 DV at range, 19 if you park in hindering), no lower than a 9 AV, PB on the tail end to crack INV/IMP...

Yeah. She's fine. Haters gonna hate, min/maxers gonna min/max.

When I compare her to Modern Age characters like Count Vertigo, Mademoiselle Marie, Lyssa Drak, Elsa Bloodstone or GSX Domino, she comes up short on all fronts.

Except that she makes a better Diamondback than any of those figures.
I am thrilled with her. She is exactly where she should be. Diamondback, Batroc, new Hydra goons, (maybe) Cobra and Hyde... I think this may be my favorite set yet!

You, sir, win the thread.

She is not a heavy hitter in the comics, nor is her clix. She will excel at hitting other secondary characters and support pieces, with the occasional Incap of someone she can't hurt.

This dial does everything I would expect it to. The Combat Reflexes and 19DV in Close on click three are my only complaints.... she's a little too good.

She does seem overcosted for wehat she brings to the table. Since I'm not a fan of the character, I can see no reason to play a piece like this. Unless she gets some fantastic ATA I'll consider her trading fodder.

I don't think anyone here is saying she should be more powerful, because anyone that's read her in the comics knows this is a fairly accurate representation.

I think this is really what the issue is. The comparisons to similarly costed figures.

I don't think anyone expected her to be a game-breaking character. Just maybe a few points less as you stated.


And that 5 range is probably generous. 4 would probably be more accurate, but they bumped it to 5 since Running Shot with the movement and range being equal would just seem odd.

So by this definition, I should throw away all my Woverines, Nightcrawlers, Warriors Three, Wonder Woman, etc. figures, because they’re over 74 points and they have no range at all.

PRO: New character, decent values, neat SP, keyword potential

CON: Pricey, nothing new

Don't be a jerk.

She's a 74 point character with all attack powers focused on range and only a range of 5.

I'm happy to see the character made, because I read some Cap comics w/ her in it. But for the points, her dial is weak. Range is too short & I hate Incap.
