With the 10 th anniversary of Heroclix coming up in 2012, we're doing a set retrospective taking us from Infinity Challenge all the way to, well whatever set is out by the time we get to that.

The idea is simple. We each get a set, round 1 is in chronological order, I get the first set; Gargantua the second and they face off. Next game has Gargantua getting the next set in line vs. my getting the one after and so on. We each get 1000 points in characters. Each character can have one feat and that feat can only be used once per set.

Once all of the winning sets are determined we'll have a round two. Round two will likely involve some tweaking, and probably no longer go chronologically. Additionally older figures may get a cost modification if going up against a newer one. This will probably be something like a 25% cost reduction or something like that.

Game 1: Infinity Challenge soundly defeated Hypertime
Game 2: Clobberin' Time finally beat Xplosion
Game 3: Cosmic Justice edged out Critical Mass for the win.
Game 4: Ultimates leashed Unleashed with ease.
Game 5: Mutant Mayhem were finally toppled by Legacy
Game 6: Fantastic Forces cleaned up against Icons!
Game 7: Armor Wars beat Collateral Damage in a very close match!
Game 8: Supernova defeated Sinister in a surprisingly even fight
Game 9: Origins slaughtered the Avengers!
Game 10: Justice League lost out to Mutations & Monsters!
Game 11: Crisis takes on Secret Invasion in a post near you!
Game 12: Hammer of Thor against Arkham Asylum!

Here's my HoT team at 1K even:

Thor (Fortitude)
Loki (Protected)
Pip the Troll (Pummel)
Rock Trolls (3)
Ulik (Rip It Up)
Moonstone (Camouflage)
Nico Minoru (Nanobots)
Venom (Pounce)
Valkyrie #12 (Triage)

"Odd what a motley crew you have," the Lord of Time says dismissively.

"Hmmmph, I hardly think the Asgardians are motley. Thor, Loki, Ulik, the Rock Trolls and a Valkyrie are amongst the deadliest foes you can get," Grandmaster says.

"Perhaps. What's the excuse for the rest?".

"I hardly think I need an excuse for the destructive Venom or the brilliant and explosive Moonstone. And Nico Minoru provides magical skills most helpful."

"And Pip the Troll?".

"Well, even I have a sense of humor."

Question (Armor Piercing) 37
Per Degaton (Protected) 90
Robin (Pummel) 66
Zoom (Swingline) 130

Despero (Mental Shields) 88

Metron (Repulsor Shield) 195
Cosmic King (Contingency Plan) 85
The Top (Siphon Power) 80

Topping out just a little over at 1004

Initiative, if I need it is 6. I don't remember if we're still rolling or just alternating.

"But it seems your sense of humor is even better than mine," the Grandmaster observed, seeing the Lord of Time's team.

"Really? You find the godlike powers of Metron laughable? The mental powers of Despero? The deadly speed of Zoom?"

"Just his name. Zoom?"

"Perhaps you won't be laughing so hard when Gorilla Grodd decimates your team. Or when Lyssa Drak turns her yellow power ring on them. Or when Cosmic King transmutes your Asgardians' armor to paper."

"Perhaps not, but I will find it very amusing to see the Question and Robin try to scratch Ulik. Oh and I mustn't forget the Top. 'What's your power?' 'Oh, I spin like a child's toy.'"

"And what of Per Degaton, Time Stealer?"

"You're stealing my time right now, trying to convince me that your team has even the slightest chance. Let's get on with it so that I can crush you and we can move on."

I roll a 9 for inish, take it away!

I'll take it from the top.

I had expected this to be a one sided game but so far it's one-sided towards AA!

Anyway Question can't perplex allies only foes so Arik is on his last click.

Nico tks Venom to D15.

Venom pounces to H7 attacking Question. Needs 5, rolls 7. 3 to her.

Arik to H24.

valkyrie tries to heal. Needs 3, gets 6. Heal is 4, he's up 2.
