I'm waiting for the inevitable OMFG Carlos Post on Gleek..........

Gleek seems interesting...I would not have a hard time playing him on Animal teams without the Wonder Twins, the Perplex may go both ways but he's cheap as hell and can function as tie-up.

Grodd, on the other hand...I'm not excited for. After the two Grodds from Arkham Asylum, I don't really feel this one adds anything compelling other than being cheaper. It's the kind of figure I wouldn't mind having one of, but I'm not going to be sad if I end up without one.

Gleek sound scool.

I'm trying to figure out if you misplaced the "s", or if you're offering to teach everyone how to sound like Gleek (which could offer a tactical advantage against one's opponent).

Either way, I totally agree!!!

Sorry, Wonder Twins. I'll be using Gleek on an Outsiders/Watchmen team...

Given his posture, this Gleek is obviously Artie.

Okay, correct me if I'm wrong here but it is suppose to be DC 75 and there is no Joker, Hawkman or Darkseid? What about Supergirl, new batgirl, Red Robin (Tim Drake)? I don't understand some of these figs (The Atom, Osiris, Mera, Aquaman) that have just been done. So yes I'm hatin’ some of this set and the logic behind it. If Hawkman isn't one of the LE's then something is seriously wrong here, especially after showing the map with Hawkworld.

Too many traits these days methinks

Exactly what I was thinking. He's kind of interesting and I'd love to have him, if even just as a display piece. Not sure I'd ever play him though. Would it have killed WK to give Gleek and the Wonder Twins both one of the JLA keywords? He's not worth using without the Wonder Twins, in any case.

Grodd seems pretty cost-effective, but I think I'd rather spend a few more points and get a better one most times. This one FINALLY gives us a decent Grodd to represent his time with the SSoSV though, and for that alone I'll want him!

I don't understand the map choice either, but there's no way to do a Hawkman LE for this set, since there are no models you could repaint for it. Hopefully there will be Thanagarian generics and a Hawkman in the next DC set. And a new Hawkgirl with some decent keywords as well.

My Mind is Stronger Grodd ignores damage dealt by Penetrating/Psychic Blast, and can't be the target of Telekinesis option 1. Characters taking actions during the resolution of Mind Control can't target Grodd with an attack.

What's the Monkey Doing Here? I'm So Confused...Unless you control a character named "Wonder Twins", at the beginning of each opponent's turn, that opponent may modify a single combat value of any character by +1 or -1 until the end of that turn.

You definitely don't want to use Gleek in a multiplayer game. Each opponent gets to use his trait against you if you aren't fielding the Wonder Twins.

Gleek looks like such a dorky monkey...a cool one though.

Gleek FTW!

I had a feeling he was going to be made as an LE. I was hoping for a Taunt-like power for him, but the Perplex trait works, especially if an increase in an opponent's damage value would somehow work against them (U-Foes ATA, Mind Control).

A new Grodd wasn't expected, but he is a nice variation of the character.

Just submitted them for approval and addition to the Units Section.
