...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

[wake me up when we get a good preview of an interesting character]

So does no one else notice that he can shut off team abilities? Like... that's not useless. The guy is really good. He doesn't even need line of fire for it.

What's that? Oh you're using Metron, huh? That's cool, I'll just park Dirk Anger up here in stealth, oh and now I'll outwit your damage special. And your Impervious........

...and... your phasing...

Great. Another terrible character is a Super Rare and an LE!

Always glad to see characters I don't want as SR's, to ensure I don't pull them.

So far other than Commander Rogers, the previews have been seriously lacking.

Not just Team Abilities. He also shuts down Leadership across the entire board. Which is kind of a big deal now that Leadership is a pretty kick-@** power.

Dirk is a rare, and "Successful" Dirk is an LE.

And I am so into both of those pieces. A counter for Quintessence/Power Cosmic? OH GOD YES.

So he can counter Power Cosmic? I just want to make sure the wording allows it.

Also, It will be nice to have a decent counter to Bat Ally/Mystics.

Opposing characters can't use team abilities within 4 squares... it doesn't say counter, they just can't use them.

Right... because it's thematic that zombie Dirk be able to counter those cosmic people's powers /thumbsdown

Not trying to troll, just sayin that's kind of an insane power. And the leadership bit... others just can't use it? No LoF required or anything?? So other people who are leaders just don't get to be?? That's wack. Another trait that acts more like a BFC... : /

Not Zombie Dirk... the standard version...

he in not a super rare, he is just a rare and an le. #47 and #104.

I am shocked that everyone is hating on H.A.T.E. after all of the love that NextWave got last set??? wow.

I never read Nextwave but I know a ton of people who have, so I am glad that they got them.

oh wel you can't please them all.

Thematic? Hell if I know.

It's true that's insane, but Dirk has nothing in the way of damage reducers. In a way, it's another Kid Zoom.

This. All kinds of this.

Thank you for taking a positive approach! The way I see it, the more semi-obscure and/or cult-y characters like Dirk Anger Wizkids makes, the closer EVERYONE gets to having THEIR favorite weirdo character show up! And then we all can build our perfect teams and the world of Heroclix will be filled with joy.

Like, I personally was unmoved by Onslaught. But I sold him to a guy who was having trouble finding the figure, and he was super-stoked. That is one of the things that makes Heroclix fun!

I assumed given the wheel, that he was a terrible SR. Now he's just a terrible Rare.

Hopefully I still don't pull him. Hated the book and hate the character.

And you'll note that none of the love for NextWave came from me either.

Hopefully the next preview will be someone more worthwhile.

This is odd.

Marvel doesn't want any more Marvel Zombie merchandise, but I guess they okayed this "zombie."

Also, I'm not sure if the "suicide as a group activity" line is necessary on the card. There will be younger people and people in general who don't read the Nextwave comics, but will win this as a random tournament prize.

It seems to be a little insensitive to the pervasive problem of suicide in our society. I just don't see where it was necessary to add that bit of information to the card.

And not ALL people who play Heroclix or read comics are into ultra-violent Kick-### stuff, or over the top stuff like this Dirk Anger guy. As an LE piece, it's less of a problem than if it was a random booster piece, but still....

then why do you have this line in your signature

"Superman is killing himself tonight, Hollywise, Hollywise..."
