Ok, Mindee's gone. Don rolls to heal Esme. It works and he heals her as before but his other target is Phoebe who's up 1 (as if Mindee's healing had worked). Phoebe moves as mentioned before.

Just had a thought - sorry I didn't think sooner. Can you bring in Don Blake if I had Thor drafted? Granted, I had the Ultimates version, but we still considered it "Thor" for drafting purposes.

I would say Don Blake is ok because he's Don Blake. Even though we both drafted Thors (yours was Ultimates, mine was 616), Don Blake is a different person. Granted, he can become Thor but that's just an advantage of the piece. Let me know if you disagree.

That brings up another point. As I suspect this game has a few months of life in it it's getting increasingly hard to remember who's been drafted. I've been adopting a 'best we can remember' policy...it's fairly likely that Iron Man's been drafted before but Red Hood or Rogue might be iffier thoughts. At this point, let's try our best to draft unique figures and if one notices it wasn't right away we fix it (say if Don Blake were drafted as Thor instead) but otherwise go with it. (It's nice to spread the love and give less regular pieces a chance to shine).

Having said that the figures in the 'My Team' rolls can be whatever works, as they are coming in for just one turn. (I still try to use unique characters there but sometimes a Thor or Superman are just perfect).

Lastly, do you think we're seen all of the Superman and Fear figures? If so, go ahead and grab yours your next turn and I'll follow.

I don't think you did draft a Thor, unless it was mid-game and I missed it, but anyway point taken about Don Blake being different, and I do agree with the rest of your post.

For the others, I'll take the 100 point Faora and Ms. Marvel from Fear Itself. The latter of whom I will bring in right now.

And thanks for giving me Kang & Doom back, by the way. Very funny that you rolled and swapped the exact combination of figures back.

For event I roll 9, My Team's Better. I'll use Loki's Mystics and bring in Scarlet Witch. Just so she can TK Ms. M to I9

Mr. Immortal tries to hit Phoebes. AV9 on DV15. Gets 9. Phoebe uses her PC to make it 4.

Ms. Marvel takes Solovar's tokens to make her Movement 13. Halved she can move 7 and RS. She moves first to O8 to yoink the LO out from under Pandora, retreat to N8 and try to shoot her, AV11 on DV18. Gets 10. Pandora uses one of her PCs and makes it a 7. Her SS is 3, so Pandora will take 4 from that. Ms. Marvel takes 1.

Doomnkang does the duo, attacks Phoebe. AV12 on DV15. Gets 5. Good enough. Phoebe's out. Second shot at Pandora, AV12 on DV16 +2. Gets 8 and Pandora's KOd. 1 to Doomnkang.

Grundy passes.

Loki on Collector, AV11 on DV16. Gets 6. Collector makes it 9. With his PsiBlast, that'll do 4 and KO Collector.

"I don't know you from Adam, but you're doing your best to mess things up here, and that's reason enough for me to pound you," Ms. Marvel told Pandora, shooting at her.

"You will leave us alone!" Phoebe tried to mentally influence Dr. Doom and Kang.

"Child, you have spunk. You really have no chance of using your psychic tricks on us, but I admire your attempt. So I will be merciful and not completely disintegrate you," Kang said, shooting her down.

"You're too soft Kang," Doom said, finishing off Pandora.

"I know. It's a failing of mine."

Actually we drafted several duplicate characters but one was 616, one Ultimates (Scarlet Witch, Cap, Thor as examples).

Real bummer about Pandora. Collector, he did fine.

I was hoping for Ms. M myself but I'll take Valkyrie to try her out again. Jor-El for the Superman set.

Is this something that I'm missing--how can Ms. M, who has rs, run and grab the object from under Pandora, then make a ranged attack? What am I missing here?

Picking up an object is just something you do as part of moving. Carol was moving, and since she flies, she doesn't need to stop when she moves adjacent to another figure (except for new Plasticity rules-but that's not important here) so she moves into square O8 as part of her move. Since she doesn't have to stop for adjacency, she picks up the object and ends her move in N7, and since she was moving as part of the Power Action to do Running Shot, she is then able to target the now not-Stealthed Pandora.

I could even have thrown the object at her, to add insult to injury, but that would have done less damage.

I've never seen that done before. It surprises me that as part of running shot, Carol isn't stuck with a break away problem when she bases Pandora. But hey, you know the ins and outs of the rules better than I.

Pandora does get a heightened reflexes roll: 3. Seems that feat so rarely works.

I roll 6 again, crazy 9s are getting real crazy of late. It's Nightcrawler for Koom. Poor Koom just don't know which was is up right now...ok, Doom into the duel. Kurt's now is Koom's spot. Not a good place to be.

Shazam is in for Pandora. He'll hss to O6 and attack Ms. M. Needs 5, rolls 12. Am I right that you have no pc up top? That kos her. Shazam ends in N7.

Not to be overwhelming but I'll drag in Icon's Superman also, most of my remaining figures are the big guns, gotta use them sometime. He'll hss to P8 to attack Kurt. SC is 6. It's got to be Mr. Immortal then. Needs 3, rolls 11. And he's on his final life.

Next set draft: 52


In the duel Koom attacks Grundy. Anything but a 2 kos him, rolls 5. Grundy's out, Koom returns to W4,5.

"That was pretty good work, if I do say so myself," Ms. Marvel says.

She's quickly hit by a super-fast blow. "Don't get cocky, it's rude," Captain Marvel says.

Carol lifts herself up from the ground, "Who...?".

Superman stands feet away from her. "I'm afraid you're in over your head, miss." He strikes the knock out punch that sends the Avenger to the ground.

"We make a good team, Marvel. Together, we can wipe out our enemies fairly easily."

"We sure can," Marvel says, "I just hope this doesn't go on too long. I have an algebra final tomorrow."

I'm pretty scared now. Superman, Shazam and the Doom/Kang Duo? But what you say has the weight of truth. We've been saving up our big guns. They've got to get used sometime.

Question though on Shazam's attack. Ms. Marvel's got Invulnerable, and you can't use EW with HSS. EW requires a full Close Combat Action. HSS only allows a vanilla attack. She's not KO'd, unless there's something else I'm missing.

Forgot that ew and hss can't be used together. Ms. M would get 4 with the critical hit but no kb. Shazam ends in Q7.

Actually, even if it did work together, Ms. Marvel's 5th click is a stop-click, so whatever else happens, she stops there.

I roll an 11. Cutthroat. Hmmm. Well first I need a replacement. Crisis Green Arrow in B16. Heightened Reflexes on him.

OK, for once, I can do some damage with the Cutthroat.

Superman to I10

Don Blake to R7

Shazam taxis Don Blake. Shazam to I10, J10 for Don.

Salaak taxis Xavier. Salaak to N13, N12 for Xavier.

I roll 7 for a duel.

Don tries to heal Shazam. Needs 5, rolls 7. Heal is 5, he's up to full.

Xavier outwits RH's cr and tries to mc him. Needs 7, rolls 7. He moves to P8.

Esme tries to mc Rh. Needs 8, rolls 4. PCs that to 4 again.

Reddy attacks RedH. Needs 6, rolls 9. 3 to him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Doom will take on the duel. Since they have indomitable they can take the 2nd turn without a problem. I'll drag Loki and Green Arrow into the duel. Don't expect Koom will survive against both but maybe they can slow you down. Plus they do have the pit. Rolls for distance: 1, everyone's up nice and close. Ok, they dual target the pair: rolls 7. Loki rerolls 7. 4 to Ollie since that's how Loki would make it anyway. 2nd attack needs 5, rolls 11. Ollie's out.

"Come Loki, you and I have a debt to settle....or three," says Dr. Doom.

"Really, tis not necessary. Let us call it even and wipe the slate as it were." Loki says. He ducks behind Green Arrow.

"I'm not your shield, fella, get lost," Arrow says.

"It does not matter. We need to defeat everyone eventually," Doom says to Kang. The pair bombard Green Arrow with blasts and he falls.

"Next!" Doom grins.

Going to have to take that one away from you. You can't use Support if either the figure attempting it or the target is based by another figure, and Don is being based by Nightcrawler.
