Welcome to a new flyingicarus and Gargantua production.

Here is a proposed series of games meant to counter-point our bigger or more involved games.

The premise is simple. We start at 800 points to use (to be adjusted if needed). Feats and relics may be used but nothing else and can be used up to 10% of the total cost.

Starting with this game where Spider-Man foes take on Batman's rogues, we will try to find compelling match ups to play out such as:

Asgardians vs Kryptonians
Fantastic Four vs Cap's Kooky Quartet
70s JLA vs 70s Avengers

This is not to say we couldn't do the Inhumans vs Great Ten. Any match is game.

The winner chooses his next line up for the other player to match with a team of their own.

My Spidey foes:

61 ASM019 Vulture
99 ASM204 Rhino
82 ASM021 Electro
70 ASM031B Alyosha Kraven
73 HA038 Venom
75 M10A004 Green Goblin
88 ASM030 Lizard
101 WS055 Sandman
70 ASM026 Mysterio
66 CT078 Doctor Octopus
15 ASM026B Mysterio

800

Inish is 8

Figured I'd post feats. I don't remember your team but I might change one or two. I'm purposely not using fortitude as it seems inappropriate.

61 ASM019 Vulture (Vendetta)
99 ASM204 Rhino (Shellhead)

Guess I should post here before I completely forget about this game.

Mr. Freeze's Gun 5

Since I went two points over with my figures, I'm actually two points under with the feats etc. Not that I had to, it just worked out that way.

I roll 6 for Initiative, your map choice.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the Penguin began.

"What about Harvey? He's neither," the Joker interrupted.

"Zip it, clown, or I'll rip your head off!" Two-Face snarled.

"Don't you dare threaten my puddin'!" Harley leapt to her feet. A couple of the Joker's henchmen joined her.

The Penguin sighed. "Firefly, would you do the honors?"

"Sure thing," Firefly agreed and separated the two parties with a wall of fire.

"As I was saying," Penguin continued. "We have encroachers."

"You know they have treatments for that now," the Joker put in.

"This is going well," the Riddler whispered to Catwoman, both of them sitting by themselves off to one side.

Catwoman laughed. "Oh yes, I'm so glad I came to this little rendez-vous."

"Joker, if you do not shut up, you will be taking your teeth home in a bag," Bane said.

The Joker looked as if he was going to make another snappy comeback, and then thought better of it, dropping back into his chair.

"Thank you, Bane," Penguin said. "We have all had our differences as we have fought for control of Gotham's underworld, but now there seem to be a new batch of criminals moving in. I say this is intolerable. If we cannot unite temporarily to deal with this new gang, the Sinister Syndicate, they call themselves, they will squash our own gangs one by one until they, and not we, own this city's streets."

"Penguin's right," Poison Ivy said. "I ran afoul of a couple of them. And they're powerful. One called Venom, and the other, Sandman. I barely escaped alive. And there's a half-dozen more besides, at least. We can't take them alone. We've got to join forces against these interlopers."

"I'm in," Two-Face said, looking at the result of a coin flip.

"Fine," Bane said. The Man Bat sqeaked in agreement.

"All right! It's a party then! Who'll bring the dip? Oh wait, Harvey's already here," the Joker laughed.

Bane moved in to separate the Joker from Two-Face who had lunged at him. Firefly and the Man-Bat joined in separating them.

"The Syndicate doesn't even need to lift a finger do they?" Catwoman said to Riddler. "Lock us all together in a room and we'll wipe each other out by morning."

Instead of going for a more appropriate Arkham Asylum map I'll do this totally inappropriate one:

"Well, well, well, it seems our enemies are tailing us," Dr. Octopus.

"Yes, come to our trap, by all means," Venom sneers.

"I'd rather go to them," the Rhino says, "All the easier to bash their heads."

"Or electrocute them," Electro says.

"Down, boys, all in good time," the Vulture says.

"No, keep the aggression going," says Kraven, "The more blood, the sweeter the frenzy."

Sandman knocks on Mysterio's helmet. "Sounds perfect ta me. Anyone there?".

"That's one of my duplicates you insufferable imbecile," Mysterio replies.

"What are we waiting for? We're all getting antsy here," the Lizard says.

"Patience, all of you, this is not a thing to rush," the Green Goblin says, "We'll head in and destroy them all in good time."

"Such interesting specimens," the Collector said. "Flawed, yes, but it is precisely those flaws that make them so compelling."

"Yes, yes, they're very compelling," the Grandmaster said. "Just bring them aboard."

"You're impatient," the Collector said. "But so be it. Let us see which of these two groups are worth keeping."

"Boys," Catwoman said, processing the sudden change of scenery. "I don't think we're in Kansas any more."

"No, but look at all the toys!" the Joker said with glee.

Do you mind if I change Electro's feat to endurance? Meant to ask that a few turns back. It's less costly than his current feat.
