While we are getting the umpteenth version of Spider-Man and Wolverine, there are still oh so many more or less popular characters out there that are still waiting impatiently for their Heroclix debut. In this edition of Unclixed, it's the hottest new wacky meta-character, Gwenpool!

For those unfamiliar with Gwenpool, let me explain this right out of the gate: Gwenpool is not an alternate universe version of either Gwen Stacy or Deadpool. She is Gwen Poole, a girl from "the real world" that ended up in the Marvel Universe. Well, that's the in-comics origin of her. Really, she was just a character from a Gwen Stacy-inspired variant cover of a Deadpool miniseries that quickly took on a life of her own through cosplayers. So Marvel decided to cash in and give her her own title.

Within a year, she went from guest-starring in Howard the Duck, to a holiday special to her own series. Going into battle with no superpowers, only guns, swords and a genre-savviness that could only be matched by Abed from "Community". She's faced off against Hydra, MODOK and messing with the Black Cat. She's also met not just Howard the Duck, but also Thor and Doctor Strange. And even though she's only been around for year, this is likely just the tip of the iceberg.


Why clix her? Popularity for starters. Plus, there's two sets to possibly include her in: Superior Foes of Spider-Man or Deadpool & X-Force. Probably not the former though at this rate.


Who would she play with? Currently, she's likely only to be used in team-ups. Her and any of the folks who have reluctantly worked with her, like the aforementioned Howard the Duck, Thor, Dr. Strange and even MODOK when he forced her to work for him. But no worries, I imagine more team-ups are coming, if not eventual membership on a team.

What would her dial look like? She's used guns and swords, so she's probably going to have the varying powers that would correspond with those. But more likely than either of those, she's almost guaranteed to have some sort of bizarre trait or special power that will allow her not to just understand she's a comic character, but also a piece in a game.

What would your idea of a dial for Gwenpool look like, folks? Feel free to reply as that's it for this edition of Unclixed! Be here next week for an all new Comic Accurate! In two weeks, Unclixed will be back with a DC hero!

A few months ago I did a Gwenpool dial (as well as a Gwen-pool and Spider-Gwen duo).

I think Gwenpool is Marvel's way of having a Harley Quinn in their books.

I'd be needing this figure so much... REALLY hoping that she doesn't end up being the Deadpool and the X Force's Ultra Chase...

This character just sucks period....

She should have an alter-ego mechanic that lets her turn into Deadpool or Harley Quinn, or whoever else is popular at the moment.

The true Why clix her: Don't. Just don't.

So she's like one of the Archie characters crossed over into the Marvel universe? Uhh...neato...?

That's like... the worst thing to suck.

On the actual topic, never read a comic with this character but it's probably for the best that she's unclixed as of yet if she's only been around a year or so, if a character gets made that soon they are usually very inaccurate by the time they come out.

She would be a good piece for the deadpool set

The character makes me smile. Comics don't always need to be serious. I'd buy her.

5-6 clicks. No damage value higher than 0. 7/8 movement, 8/9/10 attack, 16/17 defense. 5 range, 2 targets.

No normal powers. No printed keywords.

Improved Movement: Ignores Elevated

Trait: Gwenpool does not count for or against a theme team. When attacking, Gwenpool ignores all powers and abilities on other characters. Gwenpool's combat values may not be increased. Gwenpool ignores all damage not caused by an attack.

Special powers - all full dial:
Movement power: Gwenpool may use Sidestep twice each turn.
Attack power: Gwenpool can use Energy Explosion as if her damage value was 1 and Blades/Claws/Fangs. When she uses Blades/Claws/Fangs, subtract 3 from the d6 roll, minimum 1.
Defense power: Gwenpool may use Super Senses, but succeeds on a roll of 3-6. All damage dealt to Gwenpool is reduced to 1. This power may not be countered or ignored.
Damage power: Gwenpool can use Shape Change and Probability Control. When using Probability Control, Gwenpool can reroll any attack roll targeting her regardless of range and line of fire.

Flawed and over the top? Possibly. But the character itself is a ridiculous concept, and deserves a dial that is more based on luck to survive and actually do anything. Low combat values, lots of random chance and the ability to laugh off damage are essential for this character.

You know "Community?"

Cool. Coolcoolcool.

Benefit of a character you hate being clixed, you get to kill them. Repeatedly.

The idea behind the character isn't good, but the comic itself isn't bad at all. The writer and artists really try their best to develop her and make her more than girl deadpool.

I can see her being the deadpool and the x-force ultrachase, only because of her popularity, and like when they did jane thor, not knowing what her powers really are, and making a more generic dial.
