Forgot all my Perplexes and Outwits on the Batman side - I think this is a big part of what's making it take so long!! Case in point, you had CW201 move in to Outwit Dark Knight - he doesn't have Outwit, but CW24 does and can do the same thing.

Dark Knight Perplexes his DV to 18.

Bruce gets an Outwit after his change, uses it on CW24's Outwit.

That would give Dark Knight his Outwit back. He'll Outwit CW24's Repulsor Rays

Xavier is stealthed, actually (camouflage feat). Not sure what, if anything, that alters in the long run but here goes:

Apoc can't outwit X's telepathic confusion with Xavier stealthed (my bad for not specifically stating him as stealthed but that's why I gave him the feat instead of traditional ones like mental shields).

Marv can't target a stealthed Xavier but Kang is fine. Kang does get a shape change roll thanks to Xavier: 5. Marv could target others figures though but I think it would require him using his rs.

Can't do a thing about the pulse wave, though. Xavier's sc is canceled out so everyone is hit, the only difference is Kang is not koed.

With a hit of 4 to Xavier he still maintains the telepathic confusion sp, granting shape change so Cap can't target him. Even if he could, Cap lacks the range without help.

Sooooo before I go.....

a) Marvel not being able to target Xavier or Kang still can make an attack (using rs, if you want).
b) Cap can take another action since attacking Xavier is not an option.
c) Genis ends on a special perplex power, you may want to roll for it. He's likely to be a target next turn.

Here's the map:

Fair enough. Okay, so Marvel - can he attack Saint Walker? Shape Change is 1. RS to L16. AV11 on DV17 +1. Gets 10. So Saint Walker takes the 4 and then gets KOd by the subsequent Pulse Wave.

Captain America will pass and Outwit Kang's Pulse Wave after the Nova Blast.

Genis will use Perplex on himself and hope for DV. Gets 6. All Combat Values. That's good too +2 to DV and everything else, not that everything else will matter.

Ok, so following the carnage I get two replacements.

Before I go there, let's work on what I've got.

Kang may as well remove tokens from all his allies while he can. Does that include himself I wonder? I would assume it does, I'll also assume you mean Cap to outwit his regen since he's on that click. He moves to O4.

Prof X to break? 4. Moves (or rolls actually) to M6.

I'd like to play both he and Rogue a bit more but both are on their last clicks. Rogue to heal Xavier. X-ta is 5. Maybe the game wants me to play them longer as well. Xavier's up 1.

Too bad about Joker, I thought he had potential. The pulse wave eliminated that thought. Replacing him is Scarlet Witch/Wonder Man. I always liked the Wanda/Vision combo myself and this duo seems an odd pair but click wise, they seem cool. I'll have to give the Vision/Wanda combo a try sometime also. Chaos magic roll on Genis: 6. Nice. Tempted as I am to use it on his PC ta I'll use it on his defense. Needs 7, rolls 6. Wanda rerolls 7. Hmmmm....4 to Genis with Cosmo's enhancement. I'm tempted to do a second duel but no one on your side really warrants it. Second attack needs 6, rolls 3.

Ms. M gets to use her sp and will attack Genis. Needs 7, rolls 8. Nice, he's toast from her penetrating blast. Not that you didn't expect that would be possible, right?

Skrull Infiltrator B in next. Extended range on him. Cosmo tks him to P5. He barriers over Genis.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Onto the duel:

AVM outwits Dark Knights stupid, stupid, stupid invulnerable (just in case my feelings on it aren't clear).

I'll assume DK perplexed his dv to 18. CW24 vs. DK. Needs 8, rolls 9. Sweet, stuff....all that does is burn off his protected, actually, plus take a token.

Since Dark Knight is likely to leap away next turn I'll have to do some pushing. CW201 gets only better after pushing, he'll try to stunning blow DK. Needs 8, rolls 11. Nice. That's a token plus three to Dark Knight. Since he also took a token for using protected he's got two now.

Drone on Bats? Iron Man CW201 perplexes his av to 10. Needs 6, rolls 5.

AVM6 to break? 2. Attacks JL Bats. Needs 8, gets 5.

"That was a bad thing you did, Genis," the Scarlet Witch says, "Many people were hurt."

"This is war, Scarlet Witch," he says.

Wanda sighs, "Yes, I suppose it is." She unleashes a spell of Chaos magic and the roof of steel, wood and brick beneath attacks. By the time his can shield himself he's met by Wonder Man.

"You didn't think we were done, did you?" he says pummeling Genis.

A lone skrull comes in and watches. "Looks like I arrived in mid-battle," the Infiltrator says, "Very good."

I was hoping to get a little more out of Genis, but yeah, the possibility of massive retaliation was certainly in my mind.

You don't exactly leave me a lot of exciting targets, so no point bringing in anyone major. Agent Coulson worked well for me in thr World's Finest game. He comes in again. What the heck, Darkness Within on him. For giggles. Moves to I17

His SHIELD TA Boosts Apocalypse's Range to 8, and he Perplexes it further to 9.

Apocalypse on Ms. Marvel, AV10 on DV17. Gets 6. Enchantress makes it 9. THat's a KO on Ms. M.

Ernie to I16

DKR29 Outwits AVM's Outwit. DKR01 Outwits CW24's Outwit

"Genis-Vell made a good start," Apocalypse said, "but he left much undone." He blasted Ms. Marvel with en energy blast that knocked out the weakened Avenger.

"SHIELD files tell me that you're an attempted world conqueror. Surrender," Agent Coulson ordered Apocalypse, pistol aimed at his head.

"Your empty threats worry me as much as your pathetic weaponry, which is not at all," Apocalypse said.

"There's more to this gun that it looks."

"Stand down, Agent Coulson," Captain America said. "Like it or not, Apocalypse is on our side in this fight. For now."

Xavier should be at 3, after Rogue's click exchange.

Kang rolls to regen: 2. Damn, that's too bad. He's up 1.

Hate to resort to this, we're really scaled back on nova blasting of late, but not today. Ronan 100 pointer with nova blast enters. Cosmo tks him to N11. Cosmo gets an endurance roll: 6. Good.

Ronan rs to I15 and pulses. Rolls 8. Good stuff, that. 3 to the following: Apoc, Marvel, Cap, Coulson, Ernie and Grover. Only Cap and Grover are koed there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Onto the duel. I was sure Batman would win here, now I'm thinking otherwise.

CW201 perplexes Dark Knight's dv to 15.

AVM outwits Dark Knight's Armored But Agile. Can he break? 2. Bummer. Attacks BatmanJL. Needs 7, rolls 5. Blech. 1 to AVM6.

Drones push on Bats. Needs 7, gets 7. And we're done.....Dark Knight is out....Iron Man returns to the starting area.

"The Kree Empire offers you a gift," Ronan says dropping in between many of his foes. He lets off an energy wave that is strong enough to rattle even the mighty Apocalypse. Several are hurt, a few even fallen.

"You'll pay for that, Ronan," Mar-Vell announces shakily.

"That's suicide! We have to help him!" the Scarlet Witch says.

"I think he's here to help us, Wanda. Buy us much needed time," Iron Man says returning.

"Iron Man? Then Batman is....?" she asks.

"The Dark Knight is only seeing darkness himself right now, Wanda."

Unlike Support, there's no minimum 1 clause in Regeneration. Kang heals nothing, I'm afraid. Not that I can really do anything about it.

I'll use Apocalypse's Mass Increase and replace him with GSX03 on click #14. He uses his Outwit on Ronan's Toughness.

Marvel on Ronan, AV10 on DV16. Gets 11. 3 to Ronan and he's down, but you must have expected that.

AVM Iron Man 06 comes in to replace Cap. With Damage Shield. RS to F13, taxiing Bert to G14, attacks Xavier. Avengers Initiative sees through his Stealth. Gets 9. Xavier's out.

DKR1902 Catwoman enters with Pounce, moves to I15 to block Ronan.

"Kree you may be, but you have attacked me and my friends," Captain Marvel said shooting down the weakened Ronan.

"Well said, Mar-Vell," Iron Man said. "Sorry, Xavier. I'm not leaving you out there to mess with our minds." Iron Man hit the X-Man with his repulsors.

"Wait," Catwoman asked. "There are two Iron Men?"

"That's not the weirdest thing I've seen today," Agent Coulson admitted.

Rogue to K7. Eats the lo in L7.

Dr. Strange Defender version from GG enters. Moves to N7 upping Wanda/Simon's damage to 5.

Scarlet Wonder rs to O8, 9 to finish Apoc. Needs 6, rolls 6. Finito.

Now here's some confusion. My Iron Man AVM6 will rs to M6 to stunning blow yours. Needs 7, rolls 6. Wonder Witch makes it 8. Imperv is 3, a token/click and 2 to IM. My IM will outwit your IM's arch reactor thingie.

Got two replacements, almost missed that. Alan Scott version of GL from DC's 10th in next. He'll rs to M8 attacking Catwoman. Needs 5, rolls 9. 3 to her. Promotion token roll: 1, gonna be a long road to being Hal.

"Apocalypse. He is our biggest foe," an astral Dr. Strange says.

"Biggest literally," Wonder Man notes.

"Ironically his size has weakened him a bit. My magicks can hold him momentarily."

"That's all we'll need, Stephen," the Scarlet Witch adds.

"Let the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak bind you, Apocalypse."

"And let chaos magic fall upon you."

"Not to mention my fists," Wonder Man says.

Apocalypse goes down in an angry yell.

"Well," Green Lantern says as he enters, "And what did I miss here?".

Apocalypse was on his last Toughness click. If Scarlet Witch/Wonder Man's Damage is 5, it's reduced to 4, and that would put him on his last click, not KO him.

I thought Wonder Witch had psychic blast but not on that dial so 4 after toughness does put him on his last click. They do get to use the Chaos Magic sp: 1. Whoopee, they use that on Apoc.
