The sculpt is quite obviously the 616 Scarlet Witch. What the heck is she doing with the Ultimates and Ultimate X-Men abilities?!!! Furthermore, I really have to question the Ultimate X because even the Ultimate Scarlet Witch was never on that team? And no version with Avengers TA???
Nope, looks like they blended Ulimates with 616. It seems they do that a lot (AKA Rhino).
I'm really ticked off they "combined" regular scarlet witch and ultimate scarlet witch. You're right, she didn't wear the red outfit. SHe wore leather or regular street clothes. I swear, I'm boycotting if they do the same the Ultimate Wasp/Quicksilver. I was hoping for a Q.S./S.W. sibling combo with the Ultimates look.
Besides, it doesn't fit the REV mold. She didn't suddenly jump over to the Ultimate universe when she got better!
I'm ranting partly because the Ultimates is my fav superhero team and because I just traded a bunch of LE's for the Ultimate Iron Man (as sweet as that piece is, the other person got the better end of the deal money wise) just so I can collect all the ultimates. And then I get this news!

I am both extremely happy and yet extremely sad. I was really hopeing for Black Knight and Valkyrie but that doesn't look like it'll happen which sucks. I think this figure looks great and should be interesting to play. Namor looks really awsome and I like his dials, especially the Vet since its an Avenger and that is what I was hoping for. I am extremely sadened to see that the Scarlet Witch in fact is an Ultimate universe figure. She looks nothing like the Ultimate Scarlet Witch and all she does differently is have stealth on the first clix. I was hopeing for a new 616 Scarlet Witch that actually went along with the clix and was an Avenger with some actual powers besides PC. All I can hope for is that they make an LE of her and she is an Avenger, that would make up for it. All in all I like the figures so far and am glad they are being redone and as excited as I am about this set coming out they have put a slight downer on it for me.
If this set doesn't include the other two MORE FAMOUS Marvel characters that ride winged steeds, namely VALKYRIE and the BLACK KNIGHT, I might have an aneurysm.
I'm serious! I saw that sculpt and I thought, "Oh, crud that's the sculpt someone saw when they thought it was going to be Valkyrie or Black Knight!" I REALLY hope I'm wrong.
I only hope that WizKids will be merciful and grant the fans of such second-stringer, non-mutants as Falcon, Nighthawk and the afore-mentioned Black Knight and Valkyrie. Oh, and Tigershark. And Powerman. And a new Human Torch. OK, back to the bunker.
well i shouldnt have gotten my hopes up for the preview today, i could give two ##### about this fig. wangtastic. oh well, i love Namor/sub-mariner alot, he's real close to what i had in mind, very pleased with him, good job. Ultimate Doom, Feh, dont care about the figure or the character (robo bird legs are way dumb) and Scarlet Witch, well, i guess i have a better sculpt to put on my old SW bases, her team's are all screwy, bad show WK. maybe ill just pick up singles from this set as ive seen a whole 2 figs i want at all
Actually I think he is tougher then he should be. He should only have 1 kliq of Invul or Impervious. He doesnt have protection like the other bruisers do.
Impervious wouldn't be correct as is reserved for only super thought guys like Juggernaut, Wonder man and so, but for sure Invulnerability (he can endure the extreme pressures and a bullet can't harm him so INV is correct for few clicks). I think that this is one of the best designed dials i've seen. And luckly i don't see more power creep so this seems a great expansion after the impressive Mutant Mayhem
Great job WK
Heroclix needs Crossbones, Batroc and Skeleton Crew! Support them. Red Skull is doing
Oops. I made a mistake. Looking at her sculpt, I thought S. Witch was from the regular marvel verse. Now I understand she's completely an Ultimate verse character with the wrong clothes on.
Still makes me angry.

actually guys, Scarlet Witch did wear that costume early on in the Ultimate universe. In the early issues of Ultimate X-Men, she had the red outfit (VERY similar to 616), and Quicksilver wore a green version of his 616 costume. When they joined the Ultimates the costumes became the sleeker, cooler, leathery ones they're sporting today in the Ultimates. If you don't believe me check out the first few Ultimate X-Men arcs, and even Ultimate X-Men #1/2.
I'm not disappointed per se in the Moonstar clix, though I would have much preferred Valkyrie or Black Knight. I have a feeling that since we won't be getting them in this set they're almost guaranteed for the next set, which will probably be an Avengers themed set (maybe even New Avengers themed). Just my two cents.
