Ridiculous if you know how to play him. Push to 2nd click if need be (and no other BatEnemy around). Ridiculous how great that Smoke Cloud is at the end of the turn. Best Scarecrow by far. I can say he is actually worth his points.
At first I was really unimpressed by just looking at his dial. Then I re-read the character card Trait and saw "Free action Smoke-cloud". Yup its a winner here! Great for a Batman Enemy OR Family team. His special incap power isn't bad either. The best Scarecrow out there easily. I'm a big fan of the character and don't like a single dial out there for him besides this (Yellow Lantern has a killer sculpt though).
A great representation of the character, he would be especially annoying with a high point Scientist taxi to transfer damage to (Dr. Manhattan comes to mind). WK dropped the ball miserably on keywords. VETERAN Scarecrow should have about as many keywords as OotS Batman.
Scarecrow and NML Clayface make a great pair. Throw down Smoke Cloud to protect Crane and give Karlo a defense boost, tie up with Karlo and try for penetrating damage with both of them, have Crane throw damage onto Karlo and let his Impervious shrug it off. At 210 together you've got enough for a pair of Hired Henchman to get some fantastic attackers/healers on the field in a 300 point game, with 10 points left over for a relic, ATA, or half of a Utility Belt. I played a slightly larger version of this team recently (adding SoG Croc, who never did anything but get KO'd), and the perpetual Smoke Cloud and upwards Mastermind on Crane here made them a force to be reckoned with.
If you're able to find a copy of this guy that doesn't have a bent pitchfork, congratulations. You've just found something even more elusive than a Chase Rare.
Didn't think much of this piece until I played him. The traited free action smoke cloud is amazing. Even if you lose map role, you always have cover with a stealth team, and even moreso now with the new rules to Smoke Cloud. His Incap power is great as well, though with such short range, the multiple targets is a little bit wasted (I wish the power would have given him sharpshooter as well). The smoke cloud and mastermind do a good job in protecting him as well, and if you're familiar with the dial, lets you get to those late Posion clicks when you need him. Very solid figure, though a bit pricey for his lack of offensive capability.
