Just a quickish one-off game for 1500 points between flyingicarus and Gargantua. Our usual replacement rules apply.

My first 8 Maggia figures

95 +5 ABPI058 The Hood (Soul Gem)
40 EAX039 The Rose
75 SFSM011 Kingpin
50 IIM006 Dreadnought
50 IIM006 Dreadnought
75 IIM204 Dreadnought
50 EAX042 Montana
119 AOU037 Grim Reaper
60 ADW042 Gladiator
100 DXF031 Tombstone
719

I'm going to have a big of an uphill climb in this game. Maggia has a lot of B- and C-list villains which are fun to play, but compared to what you're probably going to have access to, they're not actually particularly good.

I roll 11 for initiative.

"I'm not sure I like this arrangement," the Rose said.

"Don't be an idiot, Richard," the Kingpin told his son. "I also usually like to keep my organization separate, but the Hood's plan is sound."

"Thank you, Kingpin," the Hood said. "And with the Avengers off world, the only ones who can possibly stop us are...the Champions."

There was a moment of silence and then the room burst into laughter.

4 for inish, it's yours.

"Warren! Johnny!" Darkstar says hugging her old comrades, "It's like a reunion."

"I wish it were under better circumstances," Angel says.

"So where's Hercules?" Ghost Rider asks, "We could use his raw power."

"I'm no slouch in that department," Goliath says.

"We've got the old Champs on hold," Nova says.

"Shhhh! Don't be rude," Ms. Marvel says, "They're not that old."

"That isn't what he meant, Kamala," says Iron Heart, "He meant that old Champions, or both eras, are on call."

""Eras'? That doesn't sound old at all, does it?" Viv Vision jokes.

Deadpool has nothing to do with either team, but lets play inhis house anyway

"A skeleton on a motorcycle? My sawblades should be able to cut right through the bike and the bones," Gladiator said, sending whirring blades at Ghost Rider.

Ghost Rider used his chains like a whip, knocking the deadly missiles out of the air. "Not these bones. Not this bike," he replied.

Lucked out a little there. You know, I was reading something on this sight and came to a profound realization. Heroes are betters then villains. At least better made in general. My playing heroes gives me a big advantage.

Let's see if that holds true here. Hate to pick on Gladiator, I like the guy. But, well, he's there.

Nova rs to H7 on Glad. Needs 7 + 1, rolls 7.

Viv to H5, shoulda done this before.

GR needs 6 + 1 to tag Gladiator, gets 7. 1 to him. GR sides to EF7.

My team is a group of individual characters with specific purposes. This makes me more cautious than usual on throwing that balance off.

Darkstar barriers. Get used to the markers where they're placed, that's probably going to be where she smoke clouds most of the time.

Ms. M goes to her second half of her dial and boosts her dv.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ghost Rider, I got him," Nova says charging ahead and attempting to hit Gladiator. He fails.

"...Or not," he adds.

"Don't worry, kid," Ghost Rider says again using his chain, this time grabbing Gladiator by the leg and tossing him into the wall. "I'm not done playing with him yet."

I believe it. And aside a few exceptionally popular villains, the heroes tend to get made more frequently. More options, newer figures. My villains do seem to be facing uphill battles in a lot of games. It's almost enough to turn me over to the Light Side. Almost.

So I'm glad Gladiator escaped with only 1 Damage. But man, I got nothin' with that Barrier there.

Guess I'll move Montana up at least. G15 for him.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, GR, but it looks like I'm getting to Gladiator first," Goliath says grabbing him and crushing his blades while on his wrists.

"I suppose we can't let the old Champs do all the work," Nova says moving in with Ms. Marvel.

She slugs Tombstone. "No way! Millennials are already getting a bad rap as it is."
