That wasn’t my intent but it’s probably best that way.

Cyborg on the Swarm, AV10 on Dv16. Gets 8. SS is 5. You said you Outwitted Cyborg's PB, but that was after you hit him, so I assume you mean you outwitted his Precision Strike insead.

Cyborg swaps places with Batman.

Batman to Break? Gets 3. Attacks Stupid Ants. Gets 10. SS is 6. May I say you've been making a stupid amount of Super Senses rolls lately (or I've been making them for you)

Adam does his Zeta Beam thing to W16 on Ants. AV8. Gets 10. SS is 5. I'm just sayin'. Rolls for his Zeta Beam thing. Rolls 5. Immediately gets pulled back.

Firestorm Perplexes his own AV to 11. Adam makes it 12. Firestorm RS to V17 on Iron Man and Ants. DV18 and 16. Gets 7. I won't even bother with Super Senses which the ants will make anyway. I'll just do 3 Penetrating to Iron Man.

Cyborg Perplexes J'onn's AV to 12

Martian Manhunter on Iron Man, AV12 on DV17. Gets 7. That'll KO Iron Man with another 4 Penetrating.

Gypsy will be my replacement. Red Tornado TKs her to V16

She moves to T10 to block Iron Man.

"You're protecting Thor, Captain. You should be more worried about Iron Man," the Martian Manhunter said.

"Iron Man can take care of himself," Captain America said.

"Iron Man may have a problem when the other team has a matter transmuter on their team," Firestorm pointed out, changing Iron Man's armor to paper.

"What the...? You know how much those materials cost?" Iron Man said.

"Relax, I'll change it back after the match," Firestorm said. "And besides it was a good distraction."

"Distraction? From what?" Iron Man asked.

"Me," Gypsy said, turning visible and tapping Iron Man's buzzer.

Argh, I love Iron Man in an attempt to keep Thor safer. Not my smartest move considering Iron Man's cost and versatility.

Dusting off Gypsy, there's an oldie but a goodie...well, not so goodie but we'll see.

Vision on Gypsy becoming #24. Needs 7, rolls 9. SS is 4. 2 to her and she's kinda better.

Cap becomes #1, Beast makes his damage 4, Wanda makes his dv 19. He'll rs to P7 on Gypsy. Needs but a 4, twice, but it's the ss that concerns me most. Rolls 4. yikes. She makes it 7. SS is 4. That kos her.

Hank to N5, becomes Wasp 206e and makes a new ant. That ant gets bonus movement of + 3 and easily moves to block.

Thor free moves to a safer spot in H4.

We won't get to do much this turn but enter AVX Black Panther. Actually, no Wanda will tk Janet to O10, gaining wp from Panther. She sides to P11 sand becomes #23. Wasp rs to S11 trying to incap Bats and Cyborg. Rolls 4.

End of the last non-crazy turn.

"Iron Man is as impetuous as ever, I see," the Black Panther notes.

"Maybe but he can taken out by some invisible girl," the Scarlet Witch says, "That's concerning."

"Is it? I wonder," the Vision notes as he turns intangible and locates Gypsy, touching her buzzer.

"Aw, crud," she says.

"So far this melee has been kinda straightforward," the Wasp says, "But I know things are about to change."

Were we supposed to wait to go Crazy? I went a little crazy last turn. Oh well no real harm done, I suppose.

Learning from my mistakes, Batman Outwits the Ant Swarm's SS.

Cyborg on the Swarm. AV11 on DV16. Gets 9. Uh oh. I can PC that, or I can let you have a slightly damaged Cyborg. Oh what the heck, let's keep the 9. KOs the Ants.

I roll 5, and I get Beast for Cyborg. Cyborg has 2 clicks and 2 tokens, going to your side.

Beast Outwits Wasp's ESD

Martian Manhunter on Wasp. AV11 on DV18 +1. Why not? Gest 6.

Batman RS to Q19 on Wasp, AV11 on DV18 +1. Gets 5. Forgot for a second I have Mindwarp. Make it 5 again.

RE15 Wonder Woman as replacement. Red Tornado TKs her to U15

Diana Charges to T12 on Wasp, av11 on DV18. Gets 4. Man.

"A low grade sonic blast should disrupt Pym's control over the ants," Cyborg reasoned. As he did, a siren went off and his buzzer flashed. "What the...?" he began, then he was gone, and the Beast stood in his place.

"Oh my stars and garters, so that's how this is going to work," the Beast said.

"That's some pretty high technology for a charity game," Batman noted suspicously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our first swap, as Cyborg and the Beast switch sides!" the announcer boomed over the intercom. "And that's not out only surprise!" he added as Wonder Woman joined the fray, going to grab the Wasp.

"Not so fast!" the Wasp said, flying out of her grasp. "This is where I usually warn the bad guys not to get grabby."

"You are really very agile," Wonder Woman conceded. "But that was just my first try."

No worries, your last turn was the first eligible for crazy stuff. Unless you want to take it back, I mean, I'd sacrifice having the Beast back. Please...?

I'm sure we'll see worse trades than that one.

Not tons I can do this time.

I'll see if Wasp can side? 5. Yes, she can. She goes to T9 and hides behind the ant swarm. She's teeny tiny, she can do that.

Wanda and Vic make Thor's range 8. He'll rs to L7 needing 9, ew, to hit WW. Rolls 5 and 6 for Wanda.

Cap becomes #17. Sides to P6 and chooses to block lines of fire from his right square.

Hank becomes Ant-Man creating a new ant (and sorry, no, this persona changing/ant making antics never get old). He sides to N6 and outwits WW's esd.

Vizh needs 8 to hit with pb. Rolls 8. 2 to her and he does an internal swap: Hank. Hardly makes any difference.

Ants sides.

"Sadly, thou shall not have a chance for a second try, milady," Thor says tossing Mjolnir at Wonder Woman. She catches it and is knocked back several feet holding it before it returns to its owner.

"Impressive," Thor says.

"So is your weapon," Wonder Woman says, "It's a shame its' wielder didn't have better aim."

"True," the Vision says phasing through the ground and blasting her through his gem, "Fortunately for the Avengers, mine is better."

Mindwarp to V16

Beast Outwits the SS on the Swarm in T11. Charges to U12 on it. AV10 on DV16. Gets 8. KOs it. Then swaps with Batman. Oh, now that's not optimal.

Now I have to waste Wonder Woman getting Batman back to Stealth, since he's got two tokens and can't do it himself. Or do I just say to hell with it? It happens inevitably in these crazy 8s games where you try to be protective of a character and just lose them anyway to a bad swap.

Batman Outwits Wasp's ESD

Wonder Woman will Charge to Q8, carrying Bats to P7. WW attacks the other Swarm, AV10 on DV16. Gets 3.

Firestorm Perpelxes his AV to 12 RS to T16, targets Wasp and the Swarm, AV12 on DV18 and 16. Gets 5. Mindwarp makes it 7. SS on the Ants is 3. Let's KO the Ants and do 2 to Wasp.

"These ants are a problem. Firestorm, deal with them. Diana, get me in closer," Batman said.

"Is he always like this?" the Beast asked the Martian Manhunter.

"Pretty much, yes," J'onn replied.

"Kinda reminds me of Cyclops, a little," the Beast said.

"I'll deal with the ants and the Wasp too," Firestorm said.

I understand your dilemma. Batman is a character you instinctively want to protect.

Don't forget that WW has 2 from Vision last turn.

Ant-Man sides to L6 and outwits WW's invulnerable.

Panther to H5, gives wp to Thor. Wanda makes his av 12. Thor on WW with ee. Rolls 7. A goof hit and no swap. Dings Bats for 1 and 2 to WW.

I'm unclear on if Thor can freely take a move action at this point.

FOUNDING MEMBER: When Thor is given a non-free move action he isn't given an action token for that action.

I would think not...he's only able to take one non-free action. If that's wrong, consider him in H4.

Wasp rs to I11 targeting Mindwarp and WW. Rolls 11. Mindwarp makes it 5.

Scarlet Witch tks Cyborg to P2, he sides to R3. PB on WW. Needs 7, rolls 11. Kos her.

Cap converts to #1. Goes for Bats using cce. Needs only 5, rolls 6. I was sure one of these attacks would be a switch. Bats takes 4 after toughness, 5 total this turn. Appropriately, he's still a monster with lots of potential next turn.

Hank becomes YJ203. Makes an ant that moves to Q8 to block WW.

Cyborg makes Hank's dv 18.

"Getting in closer was a mistake, Batman," Captain America says slugging him, "I don't think you're used to those."

"Fair point," Batman says rolling with it.

"Thor, do you have a shot at Wonder Woman?" Cap asks.

"Do I have a shot? Art thou joking?" Thor asks. Lightning strikes directly at her, even Batman feels it.

Buzzzzzz.

"Well done, Thunder God," Wonder Woman says moving in to shake his hand and she whispers into her ear, "Next time I'll mop the floor with you."

No sooner did I post that turn than I immediately regretted sending Diana and Batman out to get slaughtered. Not only that but it let you keep safely where you were. At least Batman survived...

If I get lucky he may still be able to do something. Breakaway to Sidestep? Gets 3. There goes that chance. Attack the Swarm, I guess. AV10 on DV16. Gets 11. Wanda can't help/ Huh. Should have gone for Cap. SS is 3. A KO there.

J'onn Sides to R17, carrying Beast to Q17

Beast Outwits Wasp's ESD.

Firestorm Perplexes Wasp's DV to 16

J'onn on Wasp. AV11 on DV16 +1. Gets 7. KOs her.

How about the Atom, WKD version. Red Tornado TKs him to P15, then he moves to V11 to block.

"Wow," the Atom said watching Captain America spar with Batman. "Looks like Batman's found a fighter just as good as he is."

"Indeed. We must not underestimate this Captain America," the Martian Manhunter said. Then he turned his attention to the Wasp. "You may be tiny, but I don't need to see your body to find you telepathically." He zapped her buzzer with an incredibly precise beam of Martian vision.

"Wow, that's impressive," Jan admitted, leaving the field.
