Seriously this set has hit every single one of my clix wishes on the head so far. This Marvel is excellent. Comes out swinging and moves into a utility role with prob and pulse wave, with damage reducers or super senses the entire way. With Indom to boot. He even is presented as an option for an incredibly functional AE. Seriously, day one brick purchase at a minimum.
I'm still praying next spoiler is Dr. Doom though... I don't think I could honestly be let down at this point.

Cool sculpt. I'm just still trying to figure out why for a character whom was dead before the game started (and yes I know hes popped up here and there) why hes got 4 versions (CM, SN, SI, GG) now when some people have none.
It's not unnecessary, especially when he can be used at the 48 point mark with Alter Ego.
And just for completeness, it would be nice to have 1 variant of this Captain Marvel with the Avengers ta.
I'm not speaking totally from a gameplay aspect either. It would be nice if this Avenger matched the rest of the Avengers at least once.
I don't understand giving him the keyword, but not the team ability.
Heck, 300 point Iron Man/War Machine got the team ability, as it should be.
well technically, this one is more accurate with him having the keyword than the team ability...as Mar-Vell wasn't a member of the Avengers. He was an ally manytimes, and after he died was awarded 'honorary Avenger status' posthumously

Then why does Rick Jones who he alter-egos from get the keyword and the team ability.
I know, I know, it's a convoluted story, but I think an honorary Avenger could be given the Avengers TA with no problem.
It's kind of like the new Fantastic 4. They were all given the keyword and TA.
But they were the Fantastic 4 for like 1 issue.
Isn't Captain Marvel MUCH more associated with the Avengers than Wolverine is with the Fantastic 4?
Just seems a little silly to me.
In the Hulk set (full set, gravity, and Fast Forces) there are 10 pieces with the Avenger keyword.
How many with the Avengers team ability?

Agreed. We didn't really need a new one, when there are so many other characters that have yet to be made.

My Avatar is an as-yet-un-clixed character. If you know who it is, be the first respondant to correctly identify this character I'll send you some free rep!
(Special) : Captain Mar-Vell possesses the S.H.I.E.L.D. team symbol. He doesn't possess the Skrulls team symbol.
(Attack) Warden: Captain Mar-Vell can use Super Strength and the Capture ability.
This I agree with. Numbers and synergy of powers make the SI dial better. The upgrade of the SHIELD TA also helps in the support department along with the top dial PC and later Outwit clicks. Longer range and a vastly better sculpt are the only advantages the new one has.
Which is not to say it's not a good dial especially at that point cost. It's interesting to note he has the same point value as Noh-Varr. Also, a much better AE choice for Rick Jones than A-Bomb, especially with that trait.
