Today we'll be reviewing Forge from
Sinister
He has the mutant power to build ANYTHING. Thus
officially having the most vague mutant power ever..
Unique: 84 points, X-Men Team
MOVEMENT:
A single click of Running Shot and then Force
Blast. The Running Shot is good.
ATTACK:
9 then 8… then back up to nine in the middle.
Energy Explosion, Incapacitate and Smoke Cloud.
Yep, that’s officially ever attack power I never
use.
DEFENSE:
16 with nothing. That is awful. Toughness in the
middle where it is not that useful and Willpower at
the end just where I do not want it. I want to flip
his defense.
DAMAGE:
3 damage and Outwit, finally a bright spot. Perplex
and then Support is pretty darn good, but the new
Support is not as good. Leadership at the end of
his dial…. that’s not very useful.
SCULPT:
He’s pretty sweet.
OVERALL:
Running shot on his opening click is nice
Outwit on the opening click is always great
The Perplex is going to wasted on his own attack
Support was good in the last 15 sets, but not any
more
His 6th and 7th Click is
almost better then his last
He is WAY to easy to hit.ealHeal
Wow, this entire set is just REALLY disappointing so
far. I love Forge, but he is just not playable.
Anybody with opening click of Outwit automatically
earns 2 stars, but he’s put together so poorly that
he can not warrant anymore then just 2 stars.
HE RECEIVES 2 OUT OF A POSSIBLE 5
THUMBS UP!
So Far the worst set ever. STILTMAN BETTER BE A
GOD!
Good, Bad, I’m the Guy with the Clix

Forge
Hi everyone! Sorry that I missed the last reviews
but I couldn’t have access
to the figs. to review till today :S Anyway, onto
what we all want: Forge.
He’s a pretty well known X Man whose power is to be
able to create anything
he can imagine… or something like that. This guy has
7 clicks of health, X
Man TA, 8 range 1 target, he’s a Unique and he costs
84 points.
Stats:
Speed: 8, 7, 7, 7, 6, 6, 5. Starts with a single
click of Running Shot then
has Force Blast for his 4th, 5th and 6th clicks.
Attack: 9, 8, 7, 8, 9, 9, 8. Starts with 2 of Energy
Explosion followed by 2
of Incapacitate and then 2 of Smoke Cloud. Last
click empty
Defense: 16, 16, 15, 15, 14, 15, 16. Toughness on
her 3rd, 4th and 5th,
Willpower the last 2 clicks.
Damage: 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2. Starts with Outwit,
follows 2 of Perplex, then 2
of Support and finishes with 2 of Leadership.
Analysis: Well, I have to say it straight out, I
don’t really like him
much. Is he bad? I don’t think so, but I don’t find
him especially good,
either. About Speed/Range, an 8 with Running Shot
and 8 distance is not half
bad… after comes nothing (well, ok, Force Blast
MIGHT be useful… but you
shouldn’t really count on it). His attack is mostly
9 and 8… a little not
enough for my taste, especially considering that he
has there 3 different
powers and yet none is quite good on him (Smoke
Cloud is only useful with
Flashbang and for Stealth guys, Incapacitate at an 8
range is cool, but he’d
need 2 targets and Energy Explosion is hardly ever
good). Defense-wise, I
don’t like that he gets the Toughness mid dial and
doesn’t start with it.
That means that one good hit will leave him half
dead. Willpower at the end
= good for running to the medic. Besides, I don’t
like that instead of
getting a spike on the defense, it goes up at the
end. Finally his damage:
Not bad at all, considering that he sports some nice
abilities: Starting
Outwit is cool, Perplex is cool, Suppor can come in
handy, especially with
his attack values there, and Leadership… well, I
don’t think that it’s good
at the end (when, unless this guy took an big hit
early, you’ll have not
that much figures… or not? I dunno)
Conclusion: Well, he could use a couple of feats,
like the ever present
ICWO, Protected ( needs it for his lack of damage
reducing powers at the
beginning), Nanobots would be nice on him… but
unfortunately those drive his
cost up too much. He’s great for a X Men Theme… but
other on that, I don’t
like him.
Ranking:
100 – 1/5 What have you been smoking???
200 – 1.75/5 Still nope.
300 – 2/5 Maybe…?
400+ – 2.5/5 Knock yourself out here
