Very nice War Machine! They generally suck at making WMs I actually want to play, but the WKO and this one are a refreshing change of pace.

That Black Widow is going to be the 2 dollar super rare of the set.

As a Defenders fan I'd be more excited if he wasn't a chase. I wonder if this means the Sub-Mariner will get a pass on the FF set?

I love Namor, but the more free slots for unclixed or uncarded villains in that set the better!

FWIW, when she first appeared her identity was secret and it wasn't immediately obvious that it was even a woman...

... but even in that picture, Citizen V is much lankier and androgynous. So you ain't wrong.

The power leap is strong in this set

This is a delightful development. I'm looking forward to the possibility of them recognizing defenders ta more (and hoping it translates over to the jsa ta proliferating appropriately)

I know, I'm a huge fan of the initial run of the series. I would have definitely prefered a femenine unique sculpt for her.

IIRC Riordan used a male-physique padded/reinforced suit in her first outings as Citizen V and when she fought Captain America, he noticed Citizen V's center of balance and other physical differences didn't jibe with a male's fighting style. They stopped fighting, had a chat and Riordan ditched the "male" suit for the outfit referenced here: http://www.comicbookreligion.com/img..._Riordan_5.jpg

(Not mansplaining to anyone in particular, but for those who didn't pick up that Captain America/Citizen V annual from 1998.)

Avengers keyword is just lazy, then?

I'm okay using her on villain teams, that's why I ask.

Nope, not lazy in this case, BW 2099 is an Avenger to.

So what does the Flood marker do? Is it just water terrain? If so he generates that free through his trait. I guess if you outwit Smoke Cloud he still gets water terrain to heal but seems a waste of a special terrain power. Plus another Chase Namor.

I now have a sneaking suspicion the OG Defenders are chases, which makes me worry about The immortal Hulk.

Didn't we already confirm Ultron and Absorbing Man are chases?

The water terrain will go away at end of turn. The Marker is a more permanent choice

Sad that BW2099 didn't get the Battleworld: Other kw. I hate when keywords get abandoned.

Yeah, Ultron and Absorbing Man have clixFX bases. Could be a 50/50 split between hero and villain chases? Although whether this (or any Namor) counts as a hero or villain is always questionable.

Ah, so one of those "edgy Avengers" .
