Here's the plan. Gargantua and I are choosing our Top 100 Marvel figures, and top 100 DC figures. Split 'em up into groups of 25 for 8 games. Play 'em 8 figures at a time, replacing new figures into the game as they old ones are KOd. Games will start at 2300 points each. We may tweak that in later games if we feel it needs to be.

What makes a figure top 100? Could be they're the definitive version of a big name hero or villain. Could be a personal sentimental favorite. Could be that figure that's just too good not to include, or the one that's just too much fun to play. The one limit we're giving ourselves is that we can only bring in one version of a character. There may be 3-4 fantastic versions of Thor our there, but only one can be allowed in the 100 (though exceptions can be made for "alternate universe/what if/elseworlds" versions of the character. Might we see Ultimate Thor or Justice Lords Superman? Possibly.

Game 7 is X-Men time for me.

This is my game to chose a map, I’ll hold on that for a minute.

As for my choices.

Professor X, from the excellent GSX set, stands out all these years later. There’s simply none better.

Cyclops is a must X-Man for me. This version is frankly way too good but I like Scott enough to invest the points.

As much as I prefer Angel, and there are many good Angels out there, this Archangel is too great to pass on.

Jean Grey. For economy and usefulness, this Jean is gold.

Psylocke’s my favorite X character, her inclusion is no surprise. This is probably the best out there.

Rogue’s another character I like. But investing in her as she should be played is a lot of work, I’ll go cheap here.

Nightcrawler’s another one I like but he’s not a favorite. I went economy on him.

Hela. One of two great pog generations, she’s no X-Man family character but she’s excellent.

“X-Men,” Professor X telepathically calls his allies, “Come to me.”

Nightcrawler teleports and arrives right in front of him. “Ready for duty,” Kurt says.

Psylocke waves the stench of fire and brimstone. “Complete with your own unique style,” she adds.

“What’s the story, Prof?” Archangel asks, “Whatever it is, we’re ready.”.

Lots of Avengers still to play, you'll see several in this game.

Devil Dinosaur - While who doesn't like a dinosaur, it's not as a favorite character that Devil is here. It's for the pogs. And the TK. And the Stop clicks. And okay, for the smoking jacket.

Captain Marvel - I like Carol. I like how she rose the ranks of B-lister knock offs to be an A-lister her own right. I like her better than the original. There are lots of good versions, but the movie set figure's nicely affordable.

Thor - Every few years, Wizkids puts out a figure that just seems truly broken. This Thor is the latest. You get way more for 125 points with him than I think you should. I complain about how broken every time I have to play against him. But I'd be stupid not to play him when I get a chance.

Vision - An interesting character. The android struggling with humanity years before Star Trek TNG went there. I need to have him. ADW is good, even if cheap.

Hawkeye - Even if not such a long-term Avenger, he's been made so well, he would be hard to leave out anyway.

Loki - Even before Tom Hiddleston so nailed the role in the movies, Loki was a mainstay, Thor's true arch-enemy and a must have. Lots of good version of him, at all different point levels, but I think I need to economize where I can, so I'll take a cheaper version.

Electro - Up there in the ranks of classic Spider-Man enemies. I realize this is not Max Dillon but Francine will do.

Star-Lord - The old school team was fun but never that big a fan of them. But I'll admit it, the new Guardians of the Galaxy have won me over. I've included most of them already, but I need to make room for Star-Lord still.

"Avengers vs X-Men again? Isn't that cliche by now?" Hawkeye asked.

"We're not all Avengers, bowman," Electro said.

"Fair point," Captain Marvel said.

"Whate'er we are, we shouldn't underestimate our foes. I have fought with, and against these X-Men. They are not to be slighted," Thor said.

Fortunately I can do this. I just can’t save or move tokens.

Ugh, I didn’t think this through. One side has clearly a lot more hindering.

Psylocke boosts Kurt’s dv.

Jean freely tks Kurt to J19.

Ho: J19, M17, K17

“What an interesting cadre of beings,” Hela says, “Worthy of my realm. We shall see,”

“Horn lady is giving me the creeps,” Rogue says.

“Me too,” Cyclops says, “But she’s a powerful ally to have.”

“Good,” says Jean Grey, “Because our opponents are about to get a lot closer,”

Probably really wouldn't affect this turn but Prof X and Psylocke are both in the same square. Ditto Archangel and Hela

Corrected. The only token change is to add #8 in G23.

Trouble figuring out my first turn this time.

Vision carries Loki, L7 and L8

Devil starts with some Homicide Crabs

Star-Lord takes one, goes to C5. C6 for the Crab

Another one to D6

I'm going to stop there

Psylocke boosts Angel’s av to 13.

Jean tks him to K15.

Professor X tries to mc Vision. Needs 10, rolls 8. Not sure what I was thinking but it’s also appropriate. Xavier shouldn’t be able to mc the Android.

Prof, through Angel, outwits Vizh’s SS.

Angel hss to L11 needing 7 to hit Vizh, rolls 8. 3 to him and Angel ends in
L20.

Recap: Vision takes 3.

Token: #6 in K20

“Hello Avengers,” Archangel says offering a first strike on Vision, “This is a message from the X-Men. Go home!”.

You're playing this one cautious, and with Thor on my side I really can't blame you. I suppose I have to give you something to come out for.

Star-Lord Leadership 1

Vision Phases to P15, carrying Loki to P14

Devil TKs Thor to P10

Carol swaps to 01, carries Hawkeye P6 and O6

Crab 2 Leaps to O9

Loki Outwits ESD on Archangel

Thor RS to P12, carrying the Crab to O12, shoots at Archangel? SC is 2, AV12 on DV17 +1, give the objects in the way. Gets 8. 5 to Archangel.

Vision Sidesteps to O13

Electro schleps out on her own to L8

Star-Lord to A8, carrying Crab 3 to A9

Crab 1 to B9

Archangel takes 5.
