I like the fact that he has willpower too - as we've seen from a couple of Unleashed figs (HDC and GL) that combo can be nasty...

Yeah, no clue why they gave him Smoke Cloud. If they replaced all of it with EE, then he would've been pretty much all you could've asked for out of him.
The Stealth, Willpower, RCE combo is just plain nasty!

actually... If you can get on that smoke cloud stealth click there is some potential.. I mean if you know pun is going to be targeted for a ranged combat maybe it's more valuable to throw up the SC and use that stealth so they have to come to you... it leaves a few options..

I never usually post for figure previews, but this one looks really, really good. There is a very nice representation and playable power combination. Now all we need is a good pose...

There's a pic of him, floating around here somewhere... Just search for "Punisher"

think matrix

Agreed. He's certainly unique in this manner. Vet Punisher is an upgraded LE Oliver Queen.

I don't think any other non wildcard figure in the game can do 4 damage from 8 range with such a respectable attack...and then do it again the next turn w/o push damage.

I understand the Smoke Cloud (although would have prefered EE). The Punisher certainly has the ability to go from frontline ranged attacker to supporting piece.

I think in the right hands...he'll be deadly. In the wrong hands...he'll be an 85 pt gift to the opponent.

the punisher stats make me think we are in sore need of a nick fury redo..

Meant to add while in Stealth to this. Whoops. Too much excitement from looking at the character that brought me into comics to begin with so many years ago.

I think I might have prefered it if they had switched his Toughness and Willpower, so that if he got based while in Stealth he could still soak up some damage, and the benefits of having Willpower and RS (plus Outwit!) at once should be obvious. Well, it still works, Willpower+Stealth helps him get into hindering terrain faster, and Willpower+RCE means he can do big damage quickly.

Perhaps the addition of all the new abilities, introduced in Unleashed, alongside the new TAs means that having smoke cloud will be all that more valuable?

Also, with the Smoke Cloud, Will Power, and RCE, he can trap someone in a SC, then next turn, blast em with RCE! So, it may be cool after all!

I just imagined him, as more of an Offensive(no pun intended) character, but I can see intelligence making him great...

...Why does he have a 13 with Defend on his last clicks? Who is he gonna be defending? Morlocks?
I guess that's the useless Combat Reflexes.

I think you need a new monitor, Shin!

He seems great. Maybe a little expensive, but a smart player could probably make him worth the points.
