not seeing the interaction there...

@stupidhorse just realised I forgot about keywords,my bad. If only it would have worked though......10 movment with phasing/teleport for 6 pointswould have been alot of fun :(

sm001 superman makes this fig stupid.

Where did wizkids/neca get the idea for this guy? Way to cheap and broken for his own good. IMO, needs to be 50 points more

He's not cheap OR broken. His defense sucks at only 16 w/ Super Senses. Outwit him, and he's toast. Use a HSS figure to take him out. I love him, and he's a staple on my Illuminati Teams. IMHO, he's TOO expensive. Needs better defense. We're talking about the most powerful telepath on earth, here.

i agree with pfcnate, this guy is absolutely busted. try him on a scientist team instead of illuminati, and you'll quickly see why. win the map roll easily, leave him in the back corner of the prison map surrounded by 3 researchers. have mole man, with contingency plan, run around constantly stealthed and have prof shoot for 5 penetrating damage through him. add whatever other scientists tickle your fancy and fit the build total. lamp-post spidey, superman at either 150 or 300, mr. fantastic, beast, the new amadeus cho, the 188 point iron man... all sick scientists on their own, but paired with a guy shoots for 5 penetrating, has outwit, attacks through any friendly figure, and can't have a line of fire drawn to him... ridiculous.

OR, you could use him on a non-scientist, comic accurate theme team, i.e. X-men, Illuminati, etc...In which case, he's not broken. It's a comic accurate theme team, so you really have nothing to say. If you team him up with Researchers, well, I think many of us (not all) can agree you're quite a cheeseball. You wanna know who's really broken, though? WoS Nightcrawler. But there is a solution:

if by 'cheeseball', you mean 'guy who likes to win games', sure, i'll be that all day. because this is a game, not a re-enactment of your favorite comic book storylines. if you want to play comic-accurate theme teams, that's your decision, and that's fine, but you have no right to expect everybody else in the world to agree with you that it's the only way the game should be played. all i'm saying is that there is a really easy way to win every game with this piece, which fits under the definition of broken in my book. even with nightcrawler, there are ways to play him to his complete potential, and there are ways to play him incorrectly. but the fact that it's far easier to win with nightcrawler on your side is what makes him broken, right? so, if it's also easy to formulate a winning strategy around prof x, then that means he's broken, too, right? i just don't see a difference there. how can nightcrawler be defined as broken while prof x isn't?

also $40 seems like an extremely high price for a sledge hammer.

@StupidHorse
The sledgehammer thing was meant as a joke, Einstein. And yes, you can choose to play non-comic accurate teams. But, last I checked, this game WAS based off of the, oh, what was it? Oh yeah, that's right, the comics. So again, yes, you and other players can play non-comic accurate teams, but for me, well, I'll freely admit that's a pet peeve of mine. Do I expect everybody to always play comic accurate teams against me? No, that would be ludicrous. In general, I play against comic accurate teams at my venue. But every now and then I play against players with non-comic accurate teams, but I definitely don't have as much fun playing against them. For example: I used Black Bolt, Dr. Strange, and Namor against a 450 point Adam Warlock and a freakin' Jason Blood. Funny thing, I actually managed to beat him, but I still didn't have that much fun playing against his team. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right. And don't try to hand me the excuse of, "If I'm not winning, I'm not having any fun." It's not always about winning.

(And btw, I said in my previous post, SOME of us, (not ALL) can agree that playing the Prof. with 3 researchers is cheesy.)

my venue mainly does tournaments. about 5% of our play is casual, with the rest being tournaments. this means that 95% of the time, i do not have the luxury of choosing which teams to play against. must be nice. also, the new adam warlock is poop. you beat a bad piece with your good pieces. good job.

You think the new Warlock is what?? Sure, He's not the greatest super rare, but he's not horrible, either. At 450 points, I'd say he's a bit over priced, but if he's well supported, (and he usually is) there's a very high likelihood he'll murder you. (I've learned from experience.) Unless you're talking about the 250 pt. version, in which case, I agree. No HSS/RS to start with means he sucks for the points.

he's extremely overpriced. for example, i'm sure my prof x team could easily take him down haha

Remember kids, if you aren't playing Professor X surrounded by nerds or hookers, then you're doing it wrong. ;D I really will have to try him in an X-Men team or an Illuminati team where he's not surrounded with support, though as it stands, those teams have options to buff up the Professor anyway. On his own, he provides excellent support for any team, even if his damage is low. Of course, as others have mentioned, he's really easy to buff up to where he strikes fear into the hearts of men. However, I have to dock a point for comic accuracy. A man who strives for peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants shouldn't strike fear into the hearts of men. Or be constantly surrounded by nerds and hookers.

pfft, who said anything about hookers? whether you're building for comic accuracy or not, this guy screams 'put me on a theme team', and hookers are the opposite of that. plus, at least with my strategy, hookers would be subpar since the one diagonal to him wouldn't be able to draw line of fire (blocked by the other two).
