For a long time now, Gargantua and I have come up with our own Top Ten lists for each set that comes out ranking the best (and 5 worst) figures. By no means intended to be definitive lists, it was just something we did for our amusement, based on our own personal preferences and observations.

One thing which we never did though, is play any games specifically highlighting those figures. Well, we're going to try that now, and we're going all the way back to the beginning. From the Top Ten Lists we made up we've each drafted 7 figures, plus one of the figures that we had ranked in the bottom. We have to pick one figure from each set and one bottom figure. If there's a point discrepancy larger than 10 points after 8 figures are chosen we adjust by adding, subtracting or swapping figures. As long as they are part of the top 10.

This set focuses on figures from Supernova and Origin, plus optional choices from 2099, Danger Room, Green Lantern Corps and Giants.

Here's my squad:

Valor 160
OR021 V Halo 116
Victor Shade 91
OR014 Wildcat 66
Super-Ape: Peoter 50
OR Shazam R 105
SN046 Kang R 87
OR Sandman 59

752

Your turn for choice of map.

"So if this isn't the most motley crew of folks ever brought together..." Wildcat gruffly begins.

"I'll admit, it is odd," Sandman says, "I only know we Justice Society members."

"I read about you in the history books," Mon-El says, "Wildcat...Sandman...you're legend."

"What about me?" asks Shazam.

"Your cuteness is a legend!" Halo coos as the two make eye contact.

"Ook ook..." the Super-Ape: Peoter says.

"What is this insolent simian doing here?" Kang asks in anger.

"All forms of life deserve to fight for their beliefs, villain," Vision says, "And it's obvious that he's giving us a warning. Our opponents have arrived."

"What? Are you here to offer us a spot of tea? Finger sandwiches? This is a fight!" Johnny Quick asked Alfred.

"I am able to handle myself in a fight, and I am a capable field medic," Alfred said. "Lord knows I have enough practice."

"This will not be a fight. This will be a rout. My enemies will flee and cower before me, or they will die," Thanos said.

"Don't be too overconfident," Cosmic Boy said. "They have my teammate Mon-El on their side. He is a force to be reckoned with."

"You don't know Thanos, lad," Karnak said. "He is power incarnate."

"And evil incarnate," Storm added. "I do not like this alliance."

"It is a necessary one," Starhawk said. "Much is at stake."

"Are you always so cryptic?" the Red Ghost asked.

Valor rs to S14 attacking Storm. Needs 6, rolls 6. 4 to her.

Vizh needs 5 to off Storm, gets 10. She’s out.

Peoter tks Mon-El back to W16.

Vizh boosts his own dv.

Sandman smokes in P13-16.

Map changes: add smoke cloud tokens to P13-16

Not to be a stickler, but Storm is Stealthed, and Valor does not have Superman Ally. Unless I'm missing something.

Damn, you’re right. You and your endless stealth won’t be busted in this set of figures.

Ok, Vision destroys the wall in M16, 17.

Karnak is open for attack from Valor. Needs 6 + 1, rolls 9. SS is 4. 4 to him.

The rest of the turn is as is

Again the pace of these games with these old figures is set by the lack of indomitable.

I'll clear

It's a slow cycle but what you can do?

Karnak Perplexes his own DV +1. Alfred makes Starhawk's +1 as well.
