"You're the least of my threats," Phoenix says to the Sentry as she bombards Eradicator with telekinetic might.

"Leave some for me, Jeannie," Sabretooth says.

"That's your last warning, Sabretooth, don't call me that."

"What...save it for your other boyfriend Wolverine?".

"Before we continue our episode of As the X-Men Turn let me finish off one threat," Domino says as the wall next to Aquaman collapses on him.

"Sorry sweetie, must not be your lucky day."

Well, guess you got the opportunity to post. And I missed my opportunity to knock Phoenix down a few pegs before she recovered. And that cost me. I'll try to respond to one or both of these, in case you have more opportunity, since as you say, these are the easiest to deal with.

Alfred makes Red Robin's range 9.

RR double Stunning Blows Sabretooth and Psylocke, AV9 on DV14 and DV15 hindering bonus for each. Gets 3. Two turns in a row he's missed the relatively easy shot.

Hm, I have Phoenix and Apocalypse to deal with, but no real way to get to either of them. Maybe I'll deal with Phoenix indirectly. Kid Zoom enters, moves to S4. No Hypersonic for you.

"I tire of the pointless and endless battles of the common superhero. And whaty is more common than a robot? Still, a good target is a good target," Apocalypse says, resigned to hitting the Bat Sentry with a psionic blast.

Alfred to Q8, Perplexes Plastic Man's Damage back up to 2.

Plas on Betsy. AV11 on DV14. Gets 7. Domino makes it 5. Still a hit for 2 and a KO to Betsy.

Bat Sentry to G11 to block her replacement.

Wildcat hops the teleporter express to A13, uses Flurry. Attacks Emma, AV8 on DV17. Gets 8 and 5.

Hourman on Sabretooth, AV7 on DV15. Gets 9. But SS is 5.

"You know I tire of the pointless, endless battles too," Plastic Man said, turning his hand into a giant pie and hitting Psylocke with it, knocking her back into the wall and knocking her out. "What say we drop it all and follow my dream of opening a circus-themed restaurant? You can be the clown, if you want."

"You mock me at your peril," Apocalypse warned him.

"Fine, I'll be the clown then. I thought I was being nice giving you first dibs. Personally though, I think you'll look pretty silly in the acrobat tights."

With Psylocke I had hoped to get her on a blades click and get a good blow at Plas. Can't win 'em all, she did very well.

Emma on Wildcat. An easy ko with a 7.

Might as well address Zoom. Apoc free rides to Q11, Phases to U5, outwits Zoom's stop. He rolls 6, no damage for pushing.

Selene tks Phoenix to H4.

Phoenix hss to U3 attacking Kid Zoom. Needs 7, rolls 11. SS is 1. Jean ends in N1.

Vindicator comes in at A14, for now he'll simply block Wildcat's replacement.

"Hello Michael, how does we fare?" Vindicator asks.

"So far, I'd say well," Shaman replies as he pulls out some crystals from his bag and the pair peer at Apocalypse and Phoenix taking out Kid Zoom as well as the White Queen taking down Willdcat.

"I'd say you're right," James MacDonald Hudson replies, "But we don't dare get overconfident. I'm sure they have quite a lot up their sleeve."

At least that got your big guns out to where I can easily reach them. Perhaps now is the time for my own Colossal. The Spectre. He double targets Phoenix and Apocalypse with his Psychic Blast. AV13 on DV18 for both. Gets 8. I'll deal 3 to Phoenix and 4 to Apocalypse.

He does have Multi-Attack, so again with the same targets. DV17 and 16 now. Gets 5. Let's see, if I do 5 to PHoenix, that KOs her - she's already used her Reborn Trait - and 2 more to Apocalypse, so that's 6 total to him.

Since Spectre was pre-card, his special powers are on a separate rule sheet. Copied here for your convenience.

"The D'Bari cry out for vengeance!" the towering figure of the Spectre said, unleashing his full power on Phoenix.

"Noooooo!" Phoenix cried out, even as she was consumed by the power.

"I do not know what you are, creature, but you'll find Apocalypse is no easy mark," Apocalypse said.

"Many of the dead call out your name in anguish as well, Apocalypse," the Spectre said, turning his powers on the other mutant.

"I am still here, ghostly one," Apocalypse said.

"Not for long," the Spectre told him.

"Michael, are you all right?" Vindicator asked Shaman, whose legs suddenly went weak.

"I fear we are no longer doing so well," Shaman told his friend.

I have to say I almost went with the Anti-Monitor, but decided on the Spectre, just to use that first line in the story post.

That was a good line for Spectre. Argh. Phoenix out in one move, Apocalypse down to nothing. That was a big sacrifice just to off Kid Zoom. Nothing much I can do about helping out Apoc, either.

Apoc has sc btw, and I get a 6 for that. I don't see Spectre having used his outwit so let's say he used it there. If I'm missing that he did use it, all bets are off.

Thanks for the guide to Spectre's powers. It will come in handy. Don't forget to show turn 2 on your next turn. The only plus to these figures is their play limit. Is it me or are colossals the new nova blast? Y'know, clearing up each others figures?

Enter Mastermind. Mentally shielded but I won't be using that on Spectre. Instead I'll be using his bonus to incap. Needs 7, hopefully Domino can help, gets 10. Never mind. Hmmmm...thought he was PC but he's actually a Mystic. This won't be as helpful as I'd thought. A token/click to him. Wait....does he get an imperv roll for incap, I forget. If so, it's a 5. So it will make a difference.

Selene tks Shaman to D9 . He'll outwits shape change for Plas.

Emma makes James MacD's damage 4.

Vindicator rs to C10 attacking Plas. Needs 6, rolls 9. 4 to him.

Dom on Plas. Needs 5, rolls 6. 3 more to him. He's out.

Mastermind outwits Spectre's outwit.

"This Spectre may be a big more target than I can handle," Vindicator says, "You, on the other hand....". He lunges at Plastic Man with a blast that fells him and he swoops over like an elongated spaghetti sting.

"Jason Wyngarde?! Are you insane? The Spectre is far beyond your meager 'talents' and I use the term loosely," says Emma Frost.

"Emma, dear, you forget it is I who unleashed the Dark Phoenix. I think I can swing an illusion against this Spectre fellow," Mastermind says.

"You think wrong," Spectre replies with an avenging pose. What's unclear is if he's responding directly to Mastermind or his illusion. Jason Wyngarde swallows hard. If it's the former he's in trouble, if the latter he may have a chance after all.
