Infinite Crisis Preview: Adrian Chase <> Vigilante, Street Justice
As lead designer of Infinite Crisis, I got to write the first preview for the set, and now I’ve taken the responsibility of writing the last one. It was very difficult to decide which cards to reveal and which ones to leave for a surprise at the Sneak Preview tomorrow, but I hope at this point that you’re all as excited as I am about what’s in store. Who knows—maybe if you’re good, I’ll include an extra preview in this article.
Now, on to the card . . .
Adrian Chase <> Vigilante, Street Justice
Character
Cost: 4
Team: Checkmate
ATK/DEF: 8/6
Range
Card Text: Concealed. Backup: Activate -> Whenever target character you control becomes stunned by an attacker this turn, stun that attacker. Use this power only during the build phase.
Adrian Chase ◊ Vigilante represents the old guard of Checkmate. In order to flesh out the team more fully, we included a lot of characters from the 80’s comic book era, and Vigilante is one of the cooler ones. He also introduces the last new keyword from Infinite Crisis: backup.
Backup powers are activated abilities that must be used during the build phase. Many backup effects make other characters more powerful, so backup allows you to combine the abilities of multiple smaller characters to make one character stronger. This mechanic fits Checkmate perfectly, because it allows the non–super powered members of the team to combine forces when taking on their enemies.
Wow. I am loving this card. After seeing White King and now this...I am really begining to like the checkmate team. The simple fact that this card is concealed makes it all the better. I cant wait to see what else checkmate has in store.
