Great brainteaser.

Hope it's not first answer in wins, hehe.

Still have to jumpstart my brain but i love the entire flavor of it all.

Great work and truly imaginative. :)

i hope that isn't a reference to this being too difficult. I have so many other murderous plans for this event!

Dammit all....I suffer from the same plight I did back when I was working on Flashback81's riddle....

Dinah Laurel Lance: her name contains a weapon
Cable: also a weapon or tool (heh, Cable's a tool)
Hal Jordan <> Green Lantern: another device..his ring is called a weapon, but his name is another tool
Quicksilver: Silver is a type of metal

Is that the connecting trait I wonder?

I sent my ridiculous guess.

Are there parts of the cards that are misprinted? Are characters specfically missing their defense values as opposed to being 0'ed out like the others or was that an oversight?

Look, if you get answers, tchalla, then I quit.

I might as well ask him the answer.

I will say all cards are designed as i intended. Since i created them the idea of a misprint would be well... silly would it not?

p.s. tchalla you have to submit an email to make a valid guess. see the original post for the addy.

Were my questions not valid verifications? If something is simply an accident, it would be an unfair part of the puzzle, right? So in the role of detective, finding out what the rules of the realm are is important enough to ask about, right?

I don't think I asked for additional clues, just if the information that was provided was ALL intentionally provided, as opposed to accidentally omitted. I don't mean to offend the delicate sensibilities of those clearly shaken still by the deaths of their beloved capes.

no worries tchalla. the cards are as intended. enjoy the puzzle!

For future reference, part of the process of solving a riddle is determining which potential clues to include or eliminate.

Communism was just a red herring.

Clue reference FTW!
