Marvel HeroClix Ultimates Sneak Peek: Magneto!

Magneto
Unit Num: 092	Point Value: 144	Team: Brotherhood of Mutants

Playtip/Game Designer Note:
The Ultimate Magneto is a powerhouse. He combines excellent stats with a combination of powers that allows him to play a supporting role – by moving teammates forward with Telekinesis or with flight and granting an extra action with Leadership – or to go on the offensive with Running Shot, 10 range with two targets, and 4 damage. No matter how you use him, he’ll be around for a while because his magnetic force fields give him fantastic defensive powers. Teamed up with the right group of characters, Magneto makes a great centerpiece, even at 144 points.

Game Design: Jon Leitheusser
Sculptor: Jeff Grace
Painter: Chris Hart

It would look a heck of alot better if the inside of his mask was darkened in so you couldn't see his face, and he didn't look like he was being eaten by a giant fruit roll-up.
His stats are ok enough, but still a far cry from a true master of magnetism and not just a glorified TK cannon.

Powers and points sound right.

Sculpt is, well, aweful.

What were they thinking ???

This will SO end up with modded figs on it -or even with just the origenal figure, on the new base...

I've not often been dissapointed with HC sculpts - but this one is right there with Big Wasp, Cap America REV and Cap Marvel...

LoL

All the Best

Playability aside, I really liked the IC sculpt a little better than this one. It looked both regal and menacing.

Sorry WK.

The only way I could see playing him is by protecting him from outwitters. He's got damage reducing powers to keep him around, but his short dial (for his point value) means if he gets ganged up on by a few shooters and Black Panther, he's another 144 points for your opponent. Flying running shot gives him that edge, but once he's in the fray, he's easy pickins without a meat shield covering him.

I looked over his stats again and must admit that he looks better than I first thought. The only thing I would have added is more 3's instead of 2's on damage and a lot of force blast.
I was suprised not to find Arwen King's name as the sculptor on this one. I hope I have an extra IC Magneto to swap out for this one.
