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 Avengers, Justice League and Mutations and Monsters.

My team:

72 JL007 Icicle
119 JL035 Deadman
35 AV057 Scarlet Witch

50 AV011 Stature

"Man dressed as bat is stupid," the Hulk grunted.

"This from someone who can't even use an indefinite article properly," Batman said.

"Batman, look at the size of him," Green Arrow said. "Are you sure you want to antagonize him?"

"Believe me, you don't," Cyclops said.

"I w-w-w-wouldn't," Power Ring stammered.

"All brawn with no skill means nothing," Bronze Tiger pointed out.

"Shouldn't we be more focused on fighting them?" Winter Soldier asked.

"What, and spoil a long and glorious tradition of internecine squabbling among super-groups?" Dr. Polaris asked.

I need to pay more attention to maps, I guess. Didn't even think of Bats. Oh what fun a little sidestep would be here, moving from the up to down escalators.

Fabian rolls for perplex: 2, boosts Deadman's dv.

Deadman carries Merlyn to B4, he's B5.

Danger to G7.

Mastermind to I7.

Stature to I6. MM will mm to her.

"How nice, it's a Brotherhood reunion," says Mastermind.

"I'll punch him so fast, he won't know where it came from," says Quicksilver.

"Not if I do it first," the Scarlet Witch replies.

"Protest all you like, kids of Magneto," Fabian Cortez says, "But we do share a bond."

"What are they saying?" whispers Merlyn.

"Do I look like I can read lips?" Deadman asks.

"And what exactly are you?" Icicle asks.

"I am the embodiment of the greatest tests you will ever know," Danger says.

"Great," Dr. Alchemy notes, "A group very thin on straight answers. This will be pleasant."

I had Deadman and Merlyn swapped, Merlyn was the stealthed one.

Fabian rolls 6. I don't think I can use it. Wait....I hate to do it but I'll risk Pietro. Alc tks him to F10.

Fabian makes his damage 5. He'll hss to K17 attacking Green Scar. Needs 9, rolls 10. 11 for PR. That is so sweet. Someone gets a token over there but Hulk takes 3. I'm sure Pietro will lose for that.

Bronze Tiger will take the token. Quicksilver should take 1 from Fabian's power

Bronze Tiger has Willpower, Charges to K18 on Quicksilver, AV11 on DV15. Gets 2 and Power Ring can't help.

Green Scar on Quicksilver then, AV12. Gets 7, and that's 4 more to him.

"A speedster, eh?" Bronze Tiger asked. "Speed does not equal skill."

"Maybe not, kitty cat, but it's a pretty decent substitute," Quicksilver said, tripping him.

"Silver hair hurt Hulk. That makes Hulk angry!" the Hulk said, snatching Quicksilver up by the back of his neck.

"Uh oh," Quicksilver said.

"Pietro! No!" the Scarlet Witch said.

"Don't worry. Hulk not kill Avenger. But he won't run fast with broken legs." the Hulk said, swinging Quicksilver so that his legs hit the wall with literally bone-shattering force.

Fabian rolls 2, normal perplex.

Danger on Power Ring. Needs 6, rolls 7. 3 to him.

Merlyn on Power Ring. Needs 4, rolls 11. A ko.

Wanda flies Icicle to B4, she's B3.

Danger was just out of Range of Power Ring, but I suppose you could have used that Perplex from Fabian on her Range to make it work.

Lots to do here. Let's start with Bronze Tiger, who will Flurry on Quicksilver. AV10 on DV14. Gets 9. SS is 1. Doesn't need the second attack. Quicksilver is done.

Polaris TKs Winter Soldier to I16

Winter Soldier RCE for +1/+1 on Stature, AV10 +1 on DV17 +1. Gets 5, and I'm missing Power Ring already

Green Arrow on Danger, AV10 on DV17 +1. Gets 11. Cool, though it's only 1 to her after Tougness.

Cyclops RS to K15 on Danger, AV9 on DV16 +1, gets the 8, but this time he's close enough she can PC that. Makes it 10. 1 more to her.

Batman to D17

Green Scar to K20

Fabian gets 5. Not sure I can use that.

Mastermind to mc Cyclops. Gets 9, a hit for sure. He'll rs to G11 attacking Arrow. Needs 9, rolls 8. Wanda can pc that: 11. 3 to Arrow.

Icicle barriers. Pushes Cyclops for a token and click.

I went to play the Ai game but with 4 kos I need dedicated time to think that through. I won't get that today. Maybe tomorrow night.

Fabian rolls for perplex: 1. Makes Merlyn's damage 3, 5 with rce.

Merlyn needs 6 to ko Scott, rolls 8. He's through.

That's all I got.
