They updated the preview of Power Girl:

She has a trait; she can use Super Strength. Now we're getting closer to that 199pt cost.

...still not worth 199...

Namor, with the same TA, with charge/flurry, and extra 49 points on support will slaughter boobs.

I'm thinking you would give her 50 pts in value just for the DD's.

*ahem*

My DD squad was named for "Dashing Damsels". PG's bustline was not a consideration.

Metallo today, boyos: http://wizkidsgames.com/blog/2010/03...sneak-preview/

People are drooling over him on the boards. I don't know if he's THAT great. Still seems to suffer from the bloated point-cost and poor numbers of Power Girl. Also, short dial.

But, I could be proven wrong. His up-front damage potential is tremendous, and he does have a reducer and avoider power on the back with that Steal Energy. Maybe along with Indom, he'll stick around to kick more ### than seems evident.

I'm afraid that he'll end up being too toploaded, though. One good Psy Blast for 3 and he's not going to pull his weight in combat.

Sculpt is horrid! Hopefully it looks better up close. Very frontloaded. But a nat. 5 Damage plus Charge/SuSr can ruin Supes day!:knockedou

I dislike the B/C/F with the natural 3 damage. Dont make the fig pay for both...

Dare I say it, a Superman Enemy that's actually good for the points?

And X-men battle packs with Danger Room figs! Be nice to have a "starter" Storm as a fig for Restricted!

Do my eyes decieve me. Is that an AIM Medic in the Iron Man pack!?!?!

But if he was born on earth how does he have superman type powers?

according to wiki

Sounds like he was born on another planet to me...

and Humanoid does not = human, just human like.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptonian

Kryptonian = NOT human

well thats just silly

I thought the only restriction was non-human

Yeah! Intresting huh!

Well, "retirement" is history, replaced by modern/golden age.

Modern - Avengers & UP. NO feats or BFC's. Bystanders, objects and ATA ARE allowed.

Golden - anything goes

While I never abused feats, and usually only reach for one if I need to fill 5 or 6 points, some figures require a feat (like fortitude).
