The Mummy is a series of movies following Rick O'Connell played by Brendan Fraser as he deals with supernatural threats. He is joined by his wife Evelyn (Evie), their son Alex and her con artist brother Jonathan. They have gone against Imhotep, The legendary Scorpion King and Emperor Han in China.

Potential powers and Traits:
A lot of powers would appear. There is a good spread of character types, from the kid sidekick, to the dashing hero, all the way to the magic enhanced "Mummy" and monsters. There will be a lot of Blades/Claws/Fangs and Close Combat Expert. A few Range pieces with Rick, Ardeth and Mathayus

Keywords:
Warrior... Warrior everywhere! Given the source material, expect a few figures to have Warrior. Soldier will appear on Rick. For named keywords, look for something for the Scorpion King's Army and Emperor Han's Army.

Character Spotlight
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rick O'Connell
The (not-so at time) dashing hero of the series. A troubled war vet and alcoholic who's in jail when we first see him. He becomes a responsible hero, husband and father over the course of the series. An all around figure. Should get a bonnus when near Evelyn. He could be on a Medjai theme without breaking it, as he was revealed to have been descended from their line.

Imhotep
The titular Mummy. Wide variety of powers such as Regeneration (including a FREE use when he KO's a standard character), Invulnerable or even Invincible. He can turn himself in sand and control the desert.

Mathayus
Played by The Rock in his first leading roll, the future Scorpion King would be a more basic character as Mathayus. Sent to kill the tyrant Memnon, the man who killed his brother. He eventually builds an army to bring down Memnon.

Why would Wizkids even attempt this?
The movies were fairly successful, though the third was critically panned. The Scorpion King series spawned multiple sequels, though most were direct to DVD. There has been talk of a reboot. The Mummy from 2017 starring Tom Cruise failed to launch a new "Dark Universe".

That's it for this edition! Let's see your custom dials in the comments!

I would so buy this! Funny, I just re-watched the first 2 Mummy movies for the first time in years a week ago.

the third Mummy was on the other day, I hadn't seen it in forever. It's what inspired me to do this set! There is probably a lot more that could be done. I really should rewatch them all!

I think my favorite thing in this set would be having a crazy probability control power for Jonathan. I want the name to be "It doesn't look like a spear!"

Something that has high risk, high reward.

Could do figures for the Tom Cruise movie instead. His figure would have a power named "Show me the mummy!".

I like this idea.

I would love an article on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or ThunderCats. Could do a lot with these.

This is an awesome idea. I just didn't see evie's brother. He wouldn't be so tough but he could have some kind of bonus.

This would be such a fun and original set to play. I would totally dig it.
