is that a new map in the starter?

i cant tell

I thought that there wasn't a single one?
Who made it in?

The new Spiderman rocks!

Wolverine and Sabretooth are also very nice.

There are no Masters of Evil in Universe.

It is very irritating that they are recycling old pictures on the WizKids site. I know some of the AE bases have been changed but you can't tell from looking online.

True, but atleast he's MUCH more reasonably priced. He'll only be placed in SS theme teams, but atleast he will even be considered for those teams. As it was, he was just HORRIBLY overpriced in light of his poor playability.
He is probably the worst of the bunch, but he's 10 times better than the IC Hobs.

Anybody notice this line in the new rulebook?

(emphasis mine)

Am I reading this wrong or something? Maybe it's just lack of sleep? (It's 3:30 AM here right now and I've only had 2 hours of sleep).

Uh... that's worrisome. I sure hope that's a typo.

Oh wait...Quick start rules. d'oh...forget that last post. sigh...

Bace, I'd guess that line should say "soaring figures" instead of "flying" Yet again, WK apparently cuts costs on QA before releasing a new product.

The Universe starter figures are all sweet, even hobgoblin -- he's the first relatively cheap flier for the Syndicate -- but can someone explain how Wasp keeps 2 damage for her entire dial?

E Vulture is only 20 points, but he wasn't really able to use the SS TA anyway...

Good catch, RP. I refuse to use Vulture on general principles, so I totally forgot about him. But yeah, ya might actually take a swing with Hobby.

Does a critical hit count as a modifier in terms of calculating for the rule of 3? It says in the glossary that a modifier is any number that alters combat value, damage dealt, or damage taken.


AlgertMan, it look slike the X-mansion map from the Marvel map set.

From the Universe Rulebook, page 5:
"Play a couple of games with the six superheroes included. Now imagine how many more options you’d have and how much more fun it would be if The Hulk™, Magneto™, and The Fantastic Four™ joined the battle! Look for Marvel HeroClix Booster Packs in stores near you. They contain randomly inserted, prepainted superhero fi gures ready to battle right out of the box!"

Some newcomers are going to be quite disappointed . . .

It looks like the map included is the Xavier school map and danger room. With the figure line up, this set should be called Marvel: X-Men!
