There seems to be so many close combat figures that destroy everything else for around 100 points, but there isn't really any range character that strikes me as an amazing deal until you start reaching 150. So what is the best range oriented figure for around 100 points?

JL Green Arrow
JL Merlyn


And those are the first two. Hawkeye also comes to mind.

Superman Robot - 100 pts.

FCBD Iron Man - Good for both range and close up work...

i find that ranged figures are best when the'yre cheaper (both roy harpers, red/green arrow, etc)
when the figs get above the century mark, i try to make sure that they have at least 2 of: shoot, smash, or support (or hopefully all three)

I considered the JL green arrow, but he's never really played well for me. His dial looks great, but it's never really worked out for me in the game. Maybe I'm just judging from bad experiences.
Merlyn and Hawkeye are also great. I was also thinking Red Arrow from Crisis, but he usually gets neutralized pretty quick.

All great responses. Honestly, i was trying to think of a ranged character that would match up to the Secret Invasion Thing. I was thinking that the Fantastic Forces Hawkeye could probably do it though.

At that point range I've always been fond of LE Norman Osborn and SR Storm.

Tarnish

Wow, no Winter Soldier?

WS is solid, but keep in mind that against The Thing the stealth won't matter as much as being able to run away from Thing to keep range a factor.

But any fig with a solid range can stymie yer ever lovin' pal just by sitting on elevated and blocking Ben's path.

The Thing is impressive, certainly, but a solid range-piece can undercut his awesomeness. An Outwitter doesn't hurt either.

He's Captain America now.

Yondu was great in the sealed CoG tournament.

Much like JackStar already said...
Justice League Green Arrow
Crisis Red Arrow and Green Arrow

At 104 points, I think the crisis Green Arrow has to be in the top 5 for ranged attackers around 100 points.

(Speed) Rooftop Archer: Green Arrow can use Leap/Climb and Running Shot.

(Attack) Emerald Archer: When Green Arrow makes a ranged combat attack, modify his attack value by +2.

(Defense) Arrow Down the Gun Barrel: Green Arrow can use Incapacitate. When a character marked with one or more action tokens chooses Green Arrow as the target of a ranged attack, Green Arrow can use Shape Change.

(Damage) Hail of Arrows: Give Green Arrow a ranged combat action to make a ranged combat attack targeting more then one opposing character. Increase the total damage dealt by 1 for each target successfully hit by the attack (total damage is still divided normally among successfully hit targets).

True, elevated can nerf the Thing, but you can't always count on having it on the map. And what does everyone here think of Bishop? I like him because he can be effective at range, but doesn't get jammed up by being based.

V Bullseye from Sinister makes my under 100 points and deadly from range list.

I don't like his damage output. Ranged Combat Expert is helpful, but if he gets based my a figure his size, that two damage isn't going anywhere.

another great ranged figure is the vet human torch from fantastic forces, especially if you have his le sister with the F4 ata helping him out
though both new incarnations from SI aren't half bad either
