Thank god... I read that power a dozen times looking for whatever I was missing that makes that power work...

Yeah, I was going to comment on the same thing. I get what the intended effect is, but the wording doesn't actually support that.

Hulk would especially love a sniper rifle. Then he gets a higher damage, attack, and range than Hawkeye. :D

Both Hulks have traited Battle Fury, unfortunately.

I think that too many are "waxing wishful" when it comes to Starter Hulk's defense power. It works as written, but you really need to rack up Rage tokens to put that final click to good use (or assign him a White Lantern Ring through a construct).

Put it this way: If you roll 5-6 for Impervious, Hulk will still be on the map, gain a Rage token from the attack and won't have to remove any. Hulk's not going to be easily KO'd anywhere else on his dial, but is a little more tender at 150 points.

LOL! Hulk with Sniper Rifle AND the Avengers Initiative TA. Hah!

Wait....brb.


(rushes to auction site for Sniper Rifle)

ooops - no range combat....nevermind....

I don't know that people are being wishful - it's that as written, his defense power is missing some words to let those rage effects ignore damage.

What's wrong with traited BF? Techically can't you choose not to use it? Or I am I mistaken by the wording of "can use".

I really wish that Vision had Precision Strike.

You are mistaken. Can = Must in Heroclix...

Clearly that is shorthand. BUT if something says you Can use a Power then that means you must use that power. Remember Powers are not optional. That is why powers such as Blades/Claws/Fangs say you MAY roll a D6 and Energy Explosion says you MAY create an Area of Effect. Every time you are given a Close Combat Action though, if you have Blades/Claws/Fangs you must use it, you just get to choose to actually replace your damage with a D6 roll or not.

Where it is implied/stated that Rage tokens were intended to allow Hulk to reduce additional damage, though?

Let's take a look:

1) Hulk is given a Rage token when targeted by an attack. It doesn't matter if the attack misses.

2) Hulk removes Rage tokens after the Impervious roll on click 11 is made and damage is reduced by -2.

If Hulk had standard Impervious on click 11, he'd be KO'd if he missed the d6 roll, regardless. In this case, the SP provides a situational incentive.

I love my movie ant-man. He came with my giant man colossal.

I think its the "would take". If it is the other way then that is extra lame as a single damage psyblaster can kill the rage monster with little effort

Any Precision Strike or P/PB attacker is cracking Impervious, though.

I'm certainly considering assigning him a Sin relic for CR or ES/D; a 21 DV isn't impossible to hit, but it's above average.

Just curiously, does anyone know which tokens (if any) are included in this starter? By happenstance I've never bought any of the products that came with purple or white objects or water terrain markers. If any of those are included it would be a plus.

I'm sure this has been brought up before with dials like this, but how does something like the White Ring that brings you back to your last non-KO click work with a dial like this?

"In addition to that, after rolling for Impervious, if Hulk would take damage, he instead removes a Rage token for each click of damage that Hulk would take. If he takes more damage than the number of Rage tokens on his card, he’s KO’d."

That is from the wizkids preview today. I think intent is pretty obvious. Im just going to be playing it as they describe it here.
