UDE will take this oppurtunity to introduce tri-affiliated characters : Kal-L will be JSA-Team Superman-Crisis.

What, you don't believe me :p ?

Oh and Davhey, the second shadow is definitely Captain Marvel. The entire teaser images comes from a promotional flyer UDE gave to various stores awhile back. So no need for speculation there .

I'd actually like to see two versions of Kal-L patterned like this:

Superman, Earth-2
Teams: JSA/Team Superman

This version would represent Kal-L before the discovery of the multiverse.

Kal-L <> Superman, Hero from Which All Others Derive
Teams: JSA/Crisis

This version would represent Kal-L after the discovery of the multiverse. As such, this version of Kal-L would not be unique (which is why he would need a different name), but he also cannot be used for cards such as Man of Tomorrow and Last Son of Krypton because he's no longer the Superman.

Couple quick things...

Psycho-Pirate isn't a WW villain (you might be thinking of Dr. Psycho). The Pirate is connected to the JSA (he first appeared against Dr. Fate & Hourman).

He did do things - just most of it was in "lead-in" titles (such as "JSA Classified") - or revealed as having been "off-screen" (such as manipulating Eclipso and the Spectre, or pushing certain villains - ones that surprised us as having joined up with others - into joining the Society).

I will admit, however, that I was disappointed at his current status (we've seen him regen from an eye-ball before so I don't think he's gone) or the relatively miniscule on-screen time he got in "IC". Then again, I admit I'm a big Psycho-Pirate fan so take that opinion with the appropriate caveats. :)

My bad if I wasn't clear - I meant Dr Psycho.

Here's to hoping they have some decent rush hate.

Deathstroke may be the Grodd of draft/sealed tho.

Ummm... Deathstroke is a rare. Grodd is common, as I recall.

Also, I think Deathstroke won't see much play in constructed (unless the VU team gets some crazy KO effects :ermm: ). The drawback is too much as it is now.

Whoops, then perhaps the Ape of the set. Ape has made me lose (limited) games I thought I had won.

Bizarro: Nice call on the Kal-L / Supes setup. Not sure if they'll go that route, but it would make sense. Also, if they make a card specifically triggered off of Earth-2 versions of characters, this would be a nice answer to dealing with Kal-L in his various incarnations through the history of DC. I fully expect to see a 'Crisis on Multiple Earths' card to either link up with the new Crisis characters coming out, or to deal specifically with the Earth-2 characters. I mean, that COULD also be a JLA-JSA team-up, but I think they'd go with something else namewise if they make that card.

Why not name it after the very first JLA/JSA team-up story: Crisis on Earth-2 from Justice League of American #22. :classic:

Come to think of it, I'd like to see a card like this:


I originally tried to combine that with a JLA/JSA team-up, but that makes it way too wordy, so I ditched the team-up stuff and stuck with the "split uniqueness" idea.

I'm still pulling for Villains United/Hellfire. My first thought was to use 6-drop Hellfire Magneto, but as has been pointed out, Deathstroke has to be moved to the hidden area and you can't use deadly game....
but I can use Trevor Fitzroy, assuming I have initiative turn 7.

Start of combat, use Trevor to send Deathstroke to the hidden area. Deathstroke destroys their five drop.
Magneto stuns Deathstroke, stunning their 6 and KOing their 7, leaving Magneto and trevor to trample anything they might have left.

::whistles:: Forgot about him, thought he said opponent's unprotected character only. Ouch times, if you can survive.

Question... does his Loyalty require both of those affiliations in play, or just one? I'm assuming it's just one, but you never know...

Only one. Just like a character affected by Clone Saga, or Dr Fate from the JLA set.

what site is lex luthor on?
