That's what I've heard but that's ridiculous. There are no "generic" Morlocks. Well I guess I can see it working but it still doesn't sound quite right. I don't see the Morlocks in the same vein as Mole Men or Hand Ninjas. There may have been a bunch of no-name Morlocks but they all were different with different names and in some cases different powers. But I suppose you could have a "generic ugly mutant" with Stealth and maybe Poison for the smell.

Plus I'm sure characters like Masque and Plague (if they're in the set) will have Poison and that will work well with the TA. Plus there are some Morlock bricks that probably wouldn't have much of an attack value that would benefit from the power (like Caliban and Sunder). Particularly Caliban as his Exp and Vet could also BCF. Same for Calisto, Feral, and or Thornn.

1) maybe they'll do the bald pre-x-men marrow. they'd kinda have to, there aren't too many memorable morlocks to work with
2) anyone else feel the morlock icon should be a manhole cover?

on another note about the Ultimate TA, it says it ignores powers and TAs, does that mean upon combat, they d ignore the impervious, toughness, invulnerability? even supersenses?

just curious...new things overwhelme me

i also wonder if they'll rework the sentinel rules to include morlock members.

lancellot, they mean in reference to hindering terrain, so any power that utizlizes hindering terrain is ignored, not any power at all.

morlocks ####!!!

There claim to fame was getting slaughtered by the marauders.

I hope Sinister is in this set just to recreate that shining moment in Morlock history.

Man, that SS ability is going to eat some people alive. No big shocks here, the Morlock ability would have been infinetly more powerful had it not come post NAAT. Ah well, the Ultimates TA has me puzzled and I completely agree that the Ultimate X-Men did not need a new ability. Just takes up space. Then again, I'm not going to collect the Ultimate figs, just regular continuity ones.

Go Serpent Society Doom!

Luke B. Snake Charmin'

actually, the Ultimates ignore HT AND powers/TAs...

gee now the Morlock team ability would have worked good for MOE....too bad they still have junk team ability =(


...no love for MOE =(

Well, no Mystics for Ghost Rider...

Serpent society gets the coolest TA IMO... Superman TA for Ultimates isnt that big of a deal thanks to a lack of a perma stealth TA... the 2000 AD for UXmen is nice, Its a good TA overall, and the Morlock one is interesting, but unpsectacular....

Eh, there goes the neighborhood.

The Superman team ability used to be fairly exclusive. And Wizkids just wouldn't put out any inexpensive Superman allies. In fact, there aren't too many Superman allies apart from all the Supermen (just Steel, Supergirl, and Maxima).

And now, an ability (X-Ray Vision) that is uniquely DC is going to be all over the place in Marvel? What the ****? Gah.

I mean, sure it's great to have more X-Ray Vision characters to deal with all those stealth teams. But they shouldn't be Marvel characters. From a flavor standpoint, this is just awful.

Well it's a great way to give Ultimate Hulk Charge and some degree of Leap/Climb (can't change elevation since it doesn't include Blocking Terrain).

I'm looking forward to a 230 point Close-Combat beast (5 damage + CCE?)

Sigh... Do we all need an English lesson here?

"Members of this team ignore the effects of hindering terrain on movement, combat, and powers and team abilities."

The effects of hindering terrain only!!

Read the Superman Ally TA, it is worded the same way!

4 new TA for Marvel just means a lot of new posibilities.

Ultimates TA is like they're getting all support form Ultimate SHIELD, you know, all technology to find enemies and of course the quick response/attack is represented as well, I just hope to see a Giant Man big figure with this TA.

My guessing on Ultimate charachters: Cap (of course), Thor, Wasp, Black Widow, Hawkeye.

Ultimate X-men TA is sweet, I see it a lot more useful than the actual X-men TA, how many times you roll for a number and just reach 1 less???

My guessing: Storm and Wolvie (of course again) Cyclops, Prof X, Rogue. Ultimate Dazzler will be my most desirable but hardly they make her for a while.

Morlocks TA sounds like a lot of cheap figures hitting in a bunch, of course ordinary morlocks are out of question and more of them with Stealth.

Guessing: Callisto, Masque, Artie & Leech and why not some Marauders (Yeah I know I dream a lot here)

Serpent Society TA this sounds totally cool, can you imagine Dr. Doom slippering trough all enemies and then hitting hard from above???

Guessing: Asp, Black Mamba, Bushmaster, Death Adder and Sidewinder looks like great figures for sculpts.
for all that don't know about Serpents look at this link:

Hope to see pictures form Ultimates soon.
