edit: nevermind this i cant read for #### right now lol

I have thought about this team as well... I would replace the Gamma bomb with Time Soul and Reality IG on Superman... Maybe Space instead of one of them....

This way Superman has an additional defensive ability. As well as indom to help get him to #2. With space he has an 11 move HSS with 4 range then 10 range outwit.

Still a lot of finesse but I think it would work well .

Yeah, I am super confused by your post. The figures total 287, which is not enough space to include the gauntlet (15 pts minimum). Not to mention that a gauntlet with three gems on it does not provide indomitable, you need all 6 for that. But other than those things, yeah it would be nice for E-1 Superman to have indom, higher range, and super senses. Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant.

If I had space on this team, Superboy would be a better guantlet wielder than E-1 Superman anyway, since Superman is basically a suicide bomber on this team, designed to cripple the opposing team and allow Superboy to mop up (with his convenient +1 stats from Superman dying). It is always a possibility to land on those HSS clicks at the end though (especially since many people are not familiar with the dial and you can position it so they have to hit you onto them with some luck), and then go crazy smashing with penetrating objects.

Honestly, the team is more flexible than it seems, and can win against basically any type of opponent. The main problem is it is very easy to set everything up as well as possible, then just miss a few crucial attack rolls causing you to lose spectacularly. If you are clever you almost always get first strike with E-1 Supes, and you need to roll either a 6 or 7 (on average). If you do, winning is super easy, but if you miss and are then in a bad position that allows Supes to get taken down in one turn, you are in big trouble.

Because of that, my main question is if a figure with prob control or a cheap tertiary attacker would be better than Thunderbolt Ross. I did go overboard on the bombing to try and make sure the team doesn't lose to turtling/gauntlet BS. Perhaps Gamma Bomb is good enough. Tell me what you guys think.

Alternate Metropolis keyword team:

Eradicator (SM033), 135pts
+Kryptonian ATA, 2pts
Superman (SM055), 107pts
Lex Luthor (FFSM004), 50pts
Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, 5pts
----------------------------------------
299 points total

The new Venom con exclusive has me so excited. I love the story and I think it is prime for meta gaming. With a full IG he could move out 16 spaces on his first turn. Now if only he could shoot afterwords. Enter GG Moleman. Because Venom is a monster he could be mind controlled to move out 16 spaces then double shot for 6 more squares. Or Power Gem even. That's 22 squares of threat range. Yes this can leave him wide open for a counter attack, but hopefully after turn one you will have Stealth, SS, and SC to help keep him safe.

The rest of the team is important as well. I was thinking Enchantress for her TK Prob Mystics.

It is certainly not the best team in the world but with the right player it could be really really awesome.

So....
Venom 159
MoleMan 47
Enchantress 50
Full IG 40
296

Too bad Venom is nigh impossible to get...

Was thinking of something similar to the Stranger type builds but with more pieces.
Put the IG on Res Skull and turtle. I fall it the turtle factory. Building a doomsday device and turning the IG.

Consider the gems have all come out.

85 AVM016 Red Skull
34 IH017 A.I.M. Renegade
34 IH017 A.I.M. Renegade
60 CA210 Klaw
50 FFSM003R Steel
10 IGR101 Infinity Gauntlet
5 IGS101IG Soul Gem
5 IGS102IG Power Gem
5 IGS103IG Time Gem
5 IGS104IG Space Gem
5 IGS105IG Reality Gem
298

What do you think? I feel it can be played very defensively. Steel is there to Drop the hammer if needed and it's a scientist themed team. You have 3-4 barriers and tons of ranged damage potential with the klaw and aim renegades and red skull when he's up to full power.

Bumping this thread.

I would let it die for a while. Chaos war comes out then its on.

Yep. Chaos War, for all intents and purposes, is the last legal set for this year's Gencon.

The fun begins in two weeks

After Odin chase with gauntlet won Origins I have been play-testing him and he is impressive. I've had him beat a 300pt Galactus and after that a 300pt. Ziran.

In how many matches against each other? How many times did Ziran and Galactus beat him?

Zero times. Odin beat Ziran once and Odin beat Galactus once. Not statistically amazing I know but in neither case did Odin really roll great or anything, nor did he get super high in the gauntlet dial.

Did you use multi-attack with Ziran?

Robot Theme:

Master Mold 200 + IG (Full) 40
Shield Field Agent 25
Shield Field Agent 25
=290.

+3 to map choice to help with his base, a theme re-roll and two agents to increase range or up damage.

Multiattack with the gauntlet could be huge.

I dont know if this has been mentioned in this long thread yet:
Avengers
170 CA062 The Captain
33 CW010 Donald Blake
48 IH025 Rick Jones
10 IGR101 Infinity Gauntlet
5 IGS106IG Mind Gem
5 IGS105IG Reality Gem
5 IGS104IG Space Gem
5 IGS103IG Time Gem
5 IGS102IG Power Gem
5 IGS101IG Soul Gem
291

The gauntlet gives the captain exactly what he needs, PC.

What do you think?
