I agree that he is a cut above the rest for 128 points.

However, I let it slide for a few reasons :

1) He's a mainstream recognizeable figure.
2) He's a close combat figure.
3) I'm hoping they "juice up" the figures that deserve it, and even as primarily a DC fan I think the Hulk deserves it.

Yeah, this Hulk did strike me as a little cheap in light of his pretty long dial, high defense numbers, and damage-dealing capabilities.

Some of y'all have raised valid points about his vulnerabilities. Nevertheless, he strikes me as quite, quite good. And, like some people, I'm more than a little befuddled about how the point system actually works... there's some serious trash that's priced way higher than Rampaging Hulk (Avengers Abomination, anyone?)

I think his cost is right.

He has no TA. He has no range. He tops out at 2 clicks of 11 and has a lot of 9 attacks. Other than his first click he isn't incredibly mobile - his Charge clicks are low movement and he has 0 Leap/Climb after the first - so he's getting tied up by pogs.

No Imperv and only 3 clicks of Invulnerability. His final 2 clicks have no damage reducers and his damage peaks at his worst attack value.

Too cheap? Heck no. At 160 - 170 points we'd be laughing. He's the standard top-loaded fare we've seen before. In a 300 point game he's going to do a little better than squat.

In 500 point games he's going to be a lot of fun - and after 5 years, Hulk deserves to be fun to use.

I think it does justice to all the less than Hulk-strong pieces they have given us. So I say "Smash on Hulk. Smash on."

I think he is playable but far from broken.

On another note, what happens when he L/C to quake and is carrying an object? Do you use the object and then have your dmg reduced? Would you still get special object effects like meteorite?

I think (I'm not certain) the object is wasted in the process, doing nothing but being used up. Since a Meteorite adds to damage value, and Quake sets that back down to 2, it doesn't have that effect... BUT it might make the Quake a kind of "Exploit Weakness" Quake, since that effect is independent of the damage value factor.

Dude, I wholeheartedly agree with you. I said something to this effect in another post.

I doubt you'll get a lot of "sympathy" simply because it's the Hulk, and the Hulk has a LOT of fans that will defend him.

Bottom line: because he's "popular", he's going to get the best treatment "money can buy", whether he deserves it or not.

Just look at Thanos and Superman (Yeah, I said it).

Actually, Thanos, as good as he is, should be more powerful. He isn't JUST 2 points better than Surfer (Name ONE time where Surfer beat Thanos or even came close...that's what I thought!) Superman deserves to be uber too, but maybe not quite as uber as the Icons. KC Supes is awesome though. All in all, I can't complain too much. You're going to have your power hitters, and you're going to have your Batmans and Wolverines. Not that those guys aren't effective and great, but they can't teleport, re-arange molecules, shoot energy blasts from their hands/eyes/ears/butthole and control your mind.

Well said, Tidge.

I'm of the belief that this is both true, and also AWESOME.

What he said

It' about friggin time !!!!!! Finally a Hulk that you can actually play, and not just give the points to your opponent. Awesome.

Gotta disagree. There are other Hulk figures which are very playable.

Let him go a round or two against Vet Elongated Man. That'll put this "Rampaging" Hulk in his place.

I think becuase his White Power is not a traditional mobility power he gets a discount for Charge being on his second Click. His Power is "L/C with a Bonus". Dispite the fact that it (kind of) give Full Move Charge I expect is is cheaper than Charge.

If you take the first click as just L/C and Compare him to Hulk 2099 I think the two of them seem quite similar.

That's...uh...that's not enough cardboard there. You have to REALLY go all out...give him Swingline, Movethrough, and such...get that breast to a full 300
