So, facing the usual stealthy spy teams. I'm thinking of bringing this.

Iron Widow
Nick Fury
Wasp (Ult)
Winter Soldier

Keyword: SHIELD

BFC's:
Inferno (Ignore it unless Malice is out)
Ordinary Day

if you have junkpile i suggest you run him instead of iro widow and wasp and with the leftover points throw in some shield snipers and troopers.

The idea was to have widow there to shoot at the stealthy figures, and Wasp as a bit of a backup for that.

but if you play inferno and they're in hindering they'll be the the work for you.....and junkpile can take and give a hit

correction they'll be doing the work for you

But I'm theme, so I can ignore it

i was talking about your enemy if they don't run a theme team and they run stealthy clix with inferno they'll be out in the open unless they want to keep taking the damage.....your team is awesome, but like i said from my perspective it could use a heavy hitter.

Its a good team. And in terms of packing a punch, there are 2 figs with Psy Blast which should be enough. Not to mention Winter Soldier and his RCE. I really don't see Wasp contributing much except as a taxi given her 4 range. And Nick and Winter are both grounded so carrying them into base is not going to happen. Which means she will more likely than not be more than 4 squares from anyone. Not saying you should take her out, just don't expect her to be shooting anyone most of the time. As far as BFC's, I'd skip on Inferno unless you don't expect to face theme teams. If you do face a theme team then they will probably ignore it unless their BFC is even nastier. And if their BFC is worse, then you're both probably going to end up ignoring that one which means you have to deal with Inferno also.

Unless they hide *behind* the hindering terrain, instead of in it.

Also, another use for Wasp, the Team Prob can be used on stealth figures, both mine and my opponents without turning off my stealth to let them use it back on me.

Good point. I hadn't realized that, but its definately an added benefit.

i agree with you puuka, i think that the shield team would do very well, and the widow is an awesome piece and with WS and Nick Fury lobbing damage from range you have nothing to worry about.

It's a good team, but SHIELD teams usually consist of a higher number of figs, to better exploit the TA. Maybe bringing in a few snipers would help, seeing as how they have Stealth, nice range, and RCE.

the exp shield sniper is a nasty piece, i would use a pair of those if you could it them in.

Nothing says "good-bye spy" like a dose of TK+HSS.

I recently used Mysticals: R Shazam+V Red Tornado, but a decent Future team (R Aleta, Ultra Boy) would do just as well.

The problem with facing Spy teams is primarily to not allow them to snipe at you...so you either have to try to nerf their range advantage with a BFC or rely on classic tricks like stealth/WC, Barrier, etc.
