Hi all, trying to make an event where only close-combat figures are allowed. Only figures with 0 printed range, no figures that can use a power "as if they had [x] range" or "with a range of [x]" or "minimum range [x]" (standard powers excepted on that last one).

A buddy pointed out that WXM Shadow King could really throw a spanner in that scenario:



Can anyone think of other characters that specifically take very little damage, or no damage, from close-combat attacks? I'm not super worried about Combat Reflexes or reducers like Impervious and what have you; I'm more thinking about special powers and abilities such as Shadow King has, that I would need to specifically deal with.

Except, you can't use Shadow King for that event...

That being said, I would probably run this guy with my team:



And then a Colossal behind him to punch everyone's faces off.

That's a very good point about Shadow King. No printed 0 range... -_-;; sorry, it was a long week.

Happy Friday then!

You've got me thinking... How about this guy with that Bizarro Joker?



Give him the Combat Reflexes Comic Panel and it's game over.

Just ran this format a few weeks ago. If you worry about people trying to "break" the format, either ban said figure(s) from that week, or just not allow that effect to be usable.


Hulkpool loved this event.

Can automatically evade close combat.


His ranged plasticity will make it ridiculously difficult to attack him unless you are bigger, have Movement Ignores Characters, or ignore Plasticity somehow. Same with:
