FlyingIcarus and Gargantua have another game idea. Surprise! This time it's a 500 pointer with FlyingIcarus, heroworshipper that I am, gets heroes from the DC universe. Gargantua, lover of all things villianous, gets to play Marvel baddies. The switch is that we each pick for the other. If he bids me Commissioner Gordon so be it, if I decide he will play the Leader he will. We each get one veto. The idea isn't to make the opponent play poor figures but rather to play different figures. Since I'm a Marvellite I got DC and Gargantua, preferring DC, gets Marvel. Game on.

My team for you is:

Juggernaut R 97
Typhoid Mary V 21
Crimson Dynamo R 89
Blastaar E 117
Carnage U 89
Pyro E 42
Black Queen R 51

497 total

A good mix of characters, even if some are infrequently used. Gotcha tk, perplex, rce, bcf, barrier...

You know I've been looking for a chance to use Blastaar for ages. Thanks. Don't think anyone there's worth vetoing. Maybe Juggernaut, but since we're trying to play characters we don't normally, I'll probably take him anyway. I had a team worked up for you, but it wasn't nearly as generous, so I'm going to redo it and post it later tonight.

Yes it's actually a mostly good team. Granted you might not choose, say, Typhiod Mary, but she's a better use of 21 points than Black Canary (sadly). I had a list with potentials like Apocalypse and Mojo too but this seemed more proportional.

I believe Carnage is 87 points, not 89. Not that it matters.

Here's a team for you, hopefully reasonably decent:

V Hawkman 48
E Dove 51
E Starman 51
U Flash 101
R Green Lantern (Jon Stewart) 81
V Chameleon 58
R Troia 60
E Rocket Red 48

TK, RCE, CCE, HSS, Charge, EE, Barrier. Not much BCF admittedly (1 click in Chameleon) but DC heroes tend not to have that power. Hope you approve, but you do have a veto if there's someone you can't stand.

Oh, and since you list Pyro at 42, you must have meant the Veteran instead of the Experienced. Your team's 498 points, by the way.

Grrrr....I will use the veto...not horrible and I know you think you did me a favor anyway I least like Chameleon and Troia please replace one. You can pick.

Both Chameleon and Troia cost virtually the same, so I'll let you choose which one goes, and I'll give you 3 alternates to choose from for about the same points:
R Firestorm, R Big Barda, or V Batgirl.

Firestorm is an all time favorite but I'll use this as an excuse to take Batgirl. Chameleon is a wretched figure but I'll keep him just because of a very, very soft sp[ot for Legion figures in this game.

Rols are 4 and 3...geez!

Main reason I included him is that he and Cosmic boy are the only Legion figures we didn't use in the big tournament, and Cosmic Boy gets used all the time anyway. If you want to switch Chameleon for Firestorm too, go ahead. I don't want to force you to play figures you loathe!

I got 6 and 3 - not much better. Reroll for objects is 5.

Let's do Heroix 1, with the bridge.

Reroll is a 6. Cool I have the extra ho then.



B7 V Hawkman 48
B8 V Chameleon 58
B9 E Dove 51
B10 V Batgirl 58
B11 R Green Lantern 81
B12 E Starman 51
B13 U Flash 101
B14 E Rocket Red 48

"What an odd assemly of heroes we have here," the Flash says.

Hawkman holds his arms crossed and nods. He then thinks as to how he can make this team work as one.

"Are you JSA, Dove? I'm Ba..."

"Batgirl, of course. Your reputation and costume preceeds you and no, I'm just an associate..." Dove replies as she shakes Batgirl's hand.

Rocket Red eats a sandwich with his helmet off and face exposed. He notices Lantern looking at him and reaches into his suit and offers a sandwich to him with his eyes.

"No thanks, Rocket Red," Jon Stewart says, "Aren't you at all nervous about this group we going to fight?"

"Nyet, comrade.I am Russian; strong, healthy and always prepared. Bisdes my sensors show they are still far away. Once they get closer, friend Jon, I will be more like a baby, how you say, with ants in the pants."

"Ants in the pants?"

"Da," Rocket Red says and then displays it in an act of jittery-ness.

Chameleon looks at Starman wielding his weapon.

"Impressive rod," the Legionnaire says.

Starman smiles, "I usually only get the ladies to say that but thanks anyway."

"Huh?" he asks.

"Sheesh, fella. Don't they have bad humor in the 31st century or did that go the way of the Pony Express, the dodo and sitocm tv?"

"Pony Express?" Chameleon asked.

Starman rolls his eyes. It will be a long, potentially humorless, fight.

"Ain't you ladies cold?" Juggernaut asked.

"I'll be more'n happy to share a bit of me body heat with 'em, if you catch my meaning," Pyro joked, sidling closer to Typhoid Mary.

"Try it," Mary said, "and I send the family jewels back to he family in a box. Why not try the Victoria's Secret model over there."

"Yes, do," the Black Queen smiled. "Im sure your life force would be quite delicious."

Pyro grumbled and sidled back away.

From his vantage point above them, clinging to the wall Carnage let out a sibilant laugh. His two-foot tongue lolled crazily out of his mouth and tendrils of symbiotic material writhed across his body.

"And what's up with that thing?" Pyro complained. "He just gives me the creeps. There's somethin' just, I dunno, wrong about him."

"Don't worry, pal," Marko said condescendingly, "Juggernaut'll protect ya."

"Ha flamin' ha. Careful I don't give you a hotfoot like you'll never forget."

"Silence," Blastaar boomed out in a deep voice. "I won't have internecine squabbling. You will work together as a team to take down these heroes, or I will tear you apart myself. Undstood?"

"As long as I get a shot at this Rocket Red, I'll be happy," the Crimson Dynamo said. "They dare to steal my concept and use it on these inferior armored suits. I shall prove to them that the original is best."

"Yeah, whatever." Juggernaut smirked.
