Ahhh, finally we get to Thanos, the would-be ruler of the Universe. The master of the Infinity Gauntlet, and the tyrant responsible for the death of HALF of
the Universe! All to appease his girlfriend, the Marvel Universe version of Death. Thanos is insane, and bent on destroying the entire Universe, and you
know what, he just might succeed at some point.

At one point Thanos was the most powerful and most expensive character in the game, that was, of course before the expansions came out. He only has three
powers, Invulnerability, Toughness and Regeneration, but his starting stats make up for a lack of super-powers. Speed of 12, Attack of 13, Defense of 18 and Damage of 3 (which actually goes up to 4 at one point). He's also a flyer with two range 10 attacks. All in all, just a nasty piece of business. At 185 points, you could conceivably put him in a 200 point game, and probably win too...but he truly excels in higher point games with the proper support.

A level 6 unique, Thanos is still a tough pull, and even after two expansions, he's still a coveted piece. A quick check of auctions yields that he's selling for a healthy $12 to $28! Not too shabby for an Infinity Challenge Unique.

My Ratings:
Playability 4.5 of 5
Collectability 4 of 5
Ed Po Thanos is a very powerful figure. He can fly and he's super fast, 12 speed!
His attack goes as high as 15, but thats not on his first click. His attack
and damage go up for 3 clix then go back down. His damage starts at 3 then
goes to 4 then back down to 3. Thanos doesn't have many abilities, only 3.
His defense is where his powers are at, 5 clix of invulnerability and
toughness then one click of regeneration.

Thanos will be on the field for a long time with the high defense,
invulnerability,tougness,regeneration, and 10 clix of health! He can also be
used as a taxi. All of this comes at a cost of 185, is it worth it? Yes.

He's a level 6 rarity because he's unique. Auctions are starting at $1.00
for Thanos, but that doesn't mean your gonna get him for $1.00, unless your
really lucky. Buy It Nows for Thanos are at $29.99! Thanos is probably one
of the most wanted uniques in heroclix.

He has the average sculpt, just posing. He has his fist closed and he's
leaning forward. The colors are nice and shiny, I like gold and blue.

Ratings:
Playability: 5/5
Collectability: 5/5
Sculpt: 3/5

Damage:3

There isn't much to say about this guy. He is a beatstick in large games
but he sucks in small games. He flies and has a 10 range but his only
superpowers are defense powers: Invulnerability, Toughness, and Regeneration. Thanos
is extremely vulnerable to Outwit, though. In all, he is very big.

"Considered the most powerful figure in the game by many players, Thanos is
actually worth his 185 points." B.S.. Thanos might have the superhuman
attack of 15, but he ain't worth the 185 points. Go with V. Thor instead. The
verdict:

200:0/5
300:1/5
400+:2/5
 

 

Without Victory, there is no survival...
