Three Crashes and None The Worse: If Anodyne is the pilot of a vehicle, she does not take damage when ejected.

Supporting Character: When Anodyne uses the X-Men team ability and would take damage, you may instead deal an adjacent character that damage.

My Gift is Healing: Support. When Anodyne uses Support, instead of healing, that character may ignore any WEAKNESS effects while this power is showing. Protected: Pulse Wave.

there it is

that anti-weakness meta piece you've provided both demand and now supply for. potent and quite useful. i appreciate that it's got a continued use once triggered to make it worth it and that you can ko or counter her to bring back the weaknesses. makes for more strategic play. and the low defend/support combo is always useful, even if she weren't sporting those sexy 11/0s

. dang girl, one-eye must be blind, 'cause those poofy sleeves aren't the only hotness on this dial. perfect support build. grand job

and for bonus, a flavorful

in that el cheapo dial that's adding my favorite underrated

power (great flavor

) AND she's got a sweat take on healing on the cheap. letting her "mm" the xmen ta dmg off is inspired

I want to focus on that 10 pt, though. Daggum is she added so much for so little. Perfect little investment for her kws

Her gift was vaguely defined as My superpower is leadership. So I decided to put all the eggs inn that basket. To keep cost down, a 1 still gets you nothing by the +1 action total, but the better the roll, the more powerful she gets. A 5 or 6 are going to make a real difference in a turn. A sign of good leadership if you ask me

The Berzerkers are going to continue a them of having a 1 click dial that 'sorta' does what the full 30 pts dial specializes in (this case, healing). Playing off the X-Men TA was a fun way of keeping it there but fair. I mean, she's 10 pts, I didn't want her to just power action heal a click (my first iteration).

So here is the main reason for the WEAKNESS keyphrase. It was such a big part of the story that I wanted that and the gift elements to take center stage. The payoff on these Berzerker designs will be on the map bonuses and the Loki dials (one reason for skipping over them when posting new dials. I wanted to reveal the designs before I showed how they can be manipulated).

I always liked Heather's outfit in that book. Its actually better than a lot of recurring Asgardian costumes. You're making me want the entire run of chases.

Her super leaderships panoply of support is appreciated and granting not-Sidestep is great.

I love Maddie's ten point movement special.

I shall forever think of her as the "Launchpad McQuack" of the X-Men...come to think of it he's a red head too.

My Gift is Healing, I get the feeling that Maddie is going to be be very popular indeed and this adds a great little bit of game play in making her a high value target that must be defended if you want to keep those pesky weaknesses at bay. I also appreciate that its not an automatic effect and takes both actions and rolls to effect.

Launchpad McQuack. Wow, I had to dust off a few neurons for that reference. LOL I'm not sure how she kept her license after the number of crashes she's had. I guess as they say, any landing you can walk away from... Except maybe those ones where she was the only survivor! (cough).

What got me about Maddie in this incarnation is how she ends up the Goblin Queen. I mean, she does lose her baby, her husband, her identity... Loki's Gifts were to fulfill the persons inner most desire. Hers was to heal people. Fastforward now she wants to enslave the world with demons or Sinister or whatever the hell was going on in Inferno??

As for Heather, I wanted the special Leadership power loaded up with all the leadership goodness I could think of. The sidestep was my attempt at the most useful effect. Giving a friendly a move is a powerful support effect. In combo with her other powers, it is outstanding. She rolls a 6 and now you can try to max that empower/enhance. Or hit and retreat. Much less all the help on breakaway with a free shot at it.

man, you just had to go and undercut my lego gif

he's a very unconventional support piece. like, he's not even remotely trying to fight. i'm amazed his attack value is as high as it is 'cause he's just gonna be doodling blueprints all game. that's a good thing, mind you, he knows his role. and it's containment. +2 initiative bonus is a clever way to represent the map itself as his construction and if you still whiff the roll he can power at the beginning of the game to make the map indoor one way or the other. why? why to make that barrier more barrific, of course! no flying or leaping over his blue squares, nope, you gotta go through 'em or not at all! and the added door/wall shenanigans is a cool way to give those lesser terrain opportunities to shine. and shine they will on the always indoor map he plays on 'cause he can now shape the battlefield to his friend's fire and walking needs

very, very nice. like you've made a non-combatant amazingly interesting

nice complement to the ol' builder of masts, but with a much more offensive option. bringing down the house is adding nicely to the package deal these guys are shaping up to

as an aside, the eb flavor text reminds me of a running inside gag i have with the missus related to the opening narration for the flash show "by day i'm just an ordinary forensic scientist" 'cause you know, that's just an everyday thing to toss under the rug

. also feels like the b-side addition to the three part formula of they fight crime

Arrrgh, I'm loving all the Berserkers.

I love map control and this duo is "The bee's-knees" for that.

...I Can Build, tired of your lovely Barrier being overflown? Opponents just too mobile for your liking? Apply Master Builder directly to the map!

Its a good thing its not available at ten points because everyone would get reallll sick of seeing him on all my teams.

And he's got extra Leadership, which you can never have too much of. Not to mention a lovely +2 to initiative ( which just makes him even more tempting to break theme for ).

As far as Earth-Mover goes she makes losing map roll all but irreverent for most teams.

My Gift Is To Control the Earth, giant reach Quake is great, but leveling the map is awesome. So many difficulties whisked away at the sweep of her tectonic touch!

If she had the ability to switch it back and forth she'd be worth double the points or more......also it'd be hilarious.

Reshape Rock and Dirt, Jeanne has Barrier and Smoke Cloud on a clapper and its glorious. Think of all the Specials built around terrain markers! She going to positively mulch Poison Ivy.

I'm so glad they have the Mystic keyword, so many great team options there.

Once you see the map effects, you'll see why you'll want this guy on your team.

That's just the vibe I was going for with the EBN.

This character was fairly easy to make. The problem was trying to keep it different from Master Builder. They are still too similar but hey, I didn't come up with these wackadoodle powers.

Map control is going to be big for these guys.

I thought about letting Earth-Mover jump back and forth with the elevation. Aside from being stupid wordy, it seemed a little overpowered.

Oh definitely far too powerful at the point cost....I just think it'd be hilarious to be able to juggle the opposing team.

"Sigh" There's always one in every group that just can't get with the costume scheme and has to go tacky.....also I think Phil stole Firebrand's pants.

Tacky costume or not generating permanent hindering terrain is excellent and well worth the cost of the dial. Especially when combined with some very useful Empower and making the enemy forces unable to traverse hindering.

However Cornucopia is on point costume wise and has awesome strategic potential!

Handing out one shot Willpower and reducers is never going to not be useful. Move you combat monster up to that annoying Poison piece and get in a shot without worrying about if it'll take an extra turn to KO that @$#%.

That amazing glass cannon can't sustain fire without Leadership or burning itself out?

No problem Carla packed you a snack, string cheese and juice boxes for ALL!
