What's all the fuss about Sun Boy ?

Running Shot Psychic Blast is always prized, especially with all the Supermen coming out. Throw in Pulse Wave and wildcard TA, and he's got a lot of upside, particularly at 79pts.

Yeah, RS/PW on a flyer is a bit of a trump card in meta, if you can bump the stats enough or guarantee the hit.

On another topic-- for all the tentpoles in the set, the one that I think people are overlooking is 200 point Supergirl. She's got V-Supes-Icons-like stats and powers without the glass jaw, for 51 points less. You have a lot of room to support that.

What about this Supergirl team then?

100 rSupergirl
079 Sun Boy
079 Sun Boy
035 Matter Eater Lad

293

And a thought: Can Matter Eater Lad "remove" an object that "can't be destroyed"? If so that could be a nasty trick to bring a Mjornir and then eat it to keep it from your opponent.

He's not bad, he's no 040 Captain America or Moonstone IMO

Agreed, but they play different roles. The ability to wilcard & not use extra points on Tbolts can be huge on the right team. It really will depend on the team you build.

Yeah i see the usefullness, but he's very fragile IMO, will try him next friday and see how good he is.

I think that the Flash already changed the game. People just don't know it.

Not really. 1/3 of your build total for 2 situational powers is hardly game changing.

"situational"

How is being able to attack anywhere on the map (while being immune to attack the round before) "situational"?

I hate that word.

I'll grant you the knockback power is a minor bonus at best, but Time Jump is awesome.

With Bencrawler running rampant, I see no reason for there not to be some Sabretooth love. 12 attack, ignores shape change, and when he hits, the crawler can't heal. Nightcrawler needs a 9 to hit him, and he has indombitable so he can force a push.

The attack only does 2 damage (ok 3 if you use his perplex on damage or you push him to his second click.). Then, once you use it, you cannot use it again until someone hits Flash with an attack.

Any power that requires an opponent to damage you before you can use it again is very situational. If I have the right team, I'll let Flash get off his 1 attack and then ignore him as much as possible.

I can see a team with Magog doing well. I haven't put one together yet, but I am sure there are a few.

I played a 300 pt Black Adam for fun just to see how he'll do and he is nothing to write home about. I got taken out by teen titans and an avengers team. He is more of a fun piece at 300. 200 I am not sure, but 100 his defense is very easy to hit.

I got to try out 2 150 point All-Star Supes. It was against Iron Man/War Machine so not the best test for them, but I think there's potential there in them. Although if I'm going with 2 150 point figures, not sure what the best options are. At 150 you've got All-Star Supes, Ursa, and Guardian of the Universe.
