The Rare looks like fun to play, with the very good Nextwave peices supporting him, another finesse piece that you have to keep on the board. I hope I get one. As for the "successful" version, I can take it or leave it for the moment. Cap's going to be a fun set.

"Superman is killing himself tonight, Hollywise, Hollywise..."
Well, that's a line from a song about tragedy and suicide (which I have been personally affected by), but it's not making light of suicide (in my interpretation, anyway).
I'm also a private citizen, not a company making products with the above referenced issues.
I don't have a marketing or legal department to review everything I do, which they should, of course.
Imagine when they make a new Dr. Light Heroclix piece. Do you want its card to be as "informational" as this new Dirk Anger zombie's card?
I'm just saying, just because Superman-Prime will "kill you to death" or Black Adam will turn someone's head into a fine mist, DOESN'T mean it needs to be referenced on a Heroclix card.
There are young people who play the game of superheroes and bad guys, that don't read ALL the source material, if any.
There's a big difference between stuff like Watchmen and Nextwave compared to Tiny Titans or the Super Friends (as an older reference).

Marvel doesn't want any more Marvel Zombie merchandise, but I guess they okayed this "zombie."
I think it's more they didn't want any more Marvel Zombies merchandise featuring their bread and butter characters like Spider-Man, etc. Some forgettable new character from a short running low selling comic is probably a legitimate exception.

I like that living Dirk has a Trait to shut down Team Abiliites, but for his entire non-zombie existance, he was chasing after five people, four of whom have no Team Abilities. And in a Themed 500-600 point game with the whole team (525 for the ATA), Monica's isn't going to do you any good.
I love the Trait, but where the heck did it come from?
With Auto-Regen, Zombie Dirk is 100 points. This is workable.
Add four Mindless Ones and you have the perfect Anti-Nextwave team.
Now I think I want one.

I love this. I was shocked to see they made a Dirk. He's hilarious.
Also, just because children may play the game, does not mean we have to censor ourselves completely. I love the inclusion of the noose. It's character accurate. Hooded Justice from Watchmen has a noose, should that be removed too?

Heck, I didn't even see the noose. I thought it was a scarf!
As far as censorship, I don't think that's the correct term.
The Watchmen set was a fully boxed 100 dollar retail set. Parents were not going to buy kids that set by "accident." I can't remember the original set packaging, but that new Fast Forces mock-up says for ages 17 and up in clear print. I think the original set was the same, but I may be mistaken.
Unlike the zombie LE, which a young kid playing Heroclix could win without parental approval.
There's a big difference between winning Gleek, and winning zombie Dirk Anger.
There are probably very few Heroclix players that want a sculpt of Superboy-Prime punching someone's head off, or ripping off Frankenstein's arms, right? Was that Black Adam who killed Frankenstein? Or Black Adam putting his fingers THROUGH Psycho Pirate's head?
I just think that because something is character or comic accurate, doesn't mean it all has to be used as reference for Heroclix pieces. We certainly didn't get any "land mine victims" with the Sgt. Rock sculpt or card, right?
They just need to think a bit ahead sometimes. Joke characters, ultra-violent characters, they all exist in comic books. But not every joke or hardcore moment needs to be reflected in those Heroclix pieces.
Sometimes, a LITTLE restraint goes a long way. The fact that I or anyone else might bring it up, means they might have gone a little too far.
Mail-aways or collector sets are a bit different, especially if they reflect Mature Content on the side of the box or something.

Probably the same place Bombastic Bagmans trait came from.

There is LITERALLY NO SENSIBLE REASON that anyone should be offended by the fictional suicide of a fictional character represented/conveyed by a paragraph on the back of a game card.
If I ever ran into anyone who would honestly be offended by this, I'd have to exercise a TON of restraint to not tell them to stop being silly and find something better to do with their time.
Seriously. There's controversial, there's "making mountains out of molehills," there's melodrama, then there's something like this.
