Pojo's HeroClix "Click of the Day"
|
WMNOE |
Bobby Drake was one of Professor Xavier's
inaugural students at his School for Gifted Youngsters, he's also a founding
member of the Uncanny X-Men. His
mutant powers all revolve around ice, duh, since his name is appropriately
enough, Iceman.
Iceman has always been a little bit of a hot head (heh heh), acting before
he thinks. He's a great team member, and always supports his fellow X-Men.
His
heroclix doppleganger is no different.
For 47 points you get one of the best taxis in the game. He gets two ranged
8 attacks, and 5 clicks of health. His starting stats are 10 Speed, 9
Attack, 16 Defense and 1 Damage, BUT his powers include Incapacitate,
Barrier and RCE which aren't too shabby.
Basically Iceman is a great taxi with some ranged attacks. Of course he's
also got the X-men team ability, so he may not always leave the game early.
I wouldn't put him in a heavy hitter combat situation, but I would use him
to snipe off of a tall building.
Iceman has one of the finest sculpts in the game. It really captures the
essence of the character, and the see-through plastic is perfect.
Unfortunately Iceman is a level 3 uncommon, which surprises me. He's one of
the founders of the X-men and has been in the Marvel U for close to 40
years. Surely he has established himself. I'm not saying he should be a
Unique, but come one, UNCOMMON? And he's not that powerful? I think WK did
Bobby a huge injustice.
Uncommons are a dime a dozen, I'm not even going to bother checking
ebay on his prices, if you can't pull one (I've already pulled several),
then something is
wrong.
My Ratings:
Playability 3 of 5
Collectability 2 of 5.
Next time - more yellow cabs. |

Iceman is a perfect taxi for the X-Men and a good taxi on
any team. A speed of 10 for one click can move around your figures quickly.
He can build some blocking terrain too, he has 3 clix of Barrier. His
defense is ok at an alright 16. Iceman can be picked off easily with 5 clix
of health. Iceman has some fire power too, when needed. He can make 2 range
combat attacks with a range of 8. Just boost his attack up to 10 with
Perplex and he'll work great, with his one damage and RCE for 3 clix. Iceman
is an awesome taxi with some fire power when needed.
Iceman is a Veteran with a low rarity level, 3. Auctions on Ebay aren't
going any higher than a couple of bucks. Iceman's an easy one to get. I
pulled his Exp in my first Xplosion booster.
In my opinion, Icemans sculpt is the best sculpt in Xplosion. The ice ramp
is awesome with those spikes at the bottom and how it turns. Blue is my
favorite color and clear blue is even better.

Playability: 4/5

Ah, Bobby Drake, one of the original X-Men,
yet in the movie he's only a teenager. Funny how that works out.
I do like Iceman, yes indeed. He has Barrier, a GREAT and ANNOYING power.
Just get him close enough and have himput the Barrier aroudn your opponent.
It can really get on your nerves when someone uses it against your heavy
hitter, making it so they can't leave withoutattacking. And it is PERFECT
against that pesky Nightcrawler that gets around. He has flyign basically
because he can create his own ramp into the sky, so that's cool. Overall
he's cheap and very useful.
