Have lots of fear, Spiral has just send a running shot pulse waver to your starting area.

Exactly! Just kidding man, are we actually getting WatX in HCO already? aren't we skipping something? If we are, then it'll be interesting to try. They might even change the trait. Remember, they don't always make the figure the same online as the do in real life. I for one will be waiting to see either way.

Clearly that initial list is waaaay too long.

For me the definition of "broken" is : a figure that breaks an existing mechanism or limitation of the game. By that token, I see only :

- Cap HoT, because he sees what he shouldn't, and can't be seen to be Probed if he's placed wisely
- Prof X and Fantomex, for the same reasons
- Nightcrawler, because not only are his stats way too good for his points, but also he can bring back a guy with him > break the system ; not to mention HSS ignoring all walls and terrain.
- Killian because he takes away the one weakness of shooters ; but then, he's really broken only with already broken pieces like the shooters above, so I could do with him if they're not here.

So that's 4, and Spiral would make one more. Sentroid or the Heroes For Hire ATA would make more, so please don't make them in HCO.

Then there are the "cheese" figures, which are not really game-breaking but too good for the points compared to the others available.

In those I could include Superman 150 with PC, Scarlet Witch or Supergirl. Oh, and most of those TabApps bigheads, especially Batman, 200 Superman and Wonder Woman.

I might forget one or two but the rest are ok in my book.

I would complain that some figures are broken, but then that would mean that my dice actually allow me to make attack rolls. On the contrary, the dice generator is the broken thing in this game. No matter what I play, if I need to hit I miss. You've all seen my rants on that, so lets get back to the figs. I don't think of any character as broken, I do think of several of them as extremely powerful and thanks to the recent changes, they've become more manageable.

While I won't say a fig is broken, playing HoT Cap with cupid's bow and SW is something I'm getting tired of seeing every 3 matches.

so my question to you is, do you own or play any of these pieces?

I own all of the figures and only play them in tournaments or against players I know will join my game with cheese although I don't like to use them.

Am i the only one who has been playing for a while and actually sees a pretty good variety of characters?

From Modern Age, yes. However, pre-carded Golden Age is sorely lacking a solid presence (and would be easy to implement-- no Traits/SPs).
