We have today yet another of the 2099
Collector’s Set clix… we’re almost done! Meanstreak will be
our guy of the day. He comes to enlarge the Ultimate X-Men
files! He’s just 71 points, doesn’t have neither flight or
archenemy, no range and he has 7 clicks of health:
Stats:
Speed: 10, 10, 10, 9, 9, 9, 9. 1st, 2nd and last 2 clicks
have HSS. The 3 middle clicks have Flurry.
Attack: 9, 9, 8, 8, 8, 7, 7. No powers.
Defense: 16, 15, 15, 15, 14, 14, 14. First 3 clicks have
Super Senses, then follows 2 clicks of Combat Reflexes and
then finishes 2 with Energy Shield/Deflection.
Damage: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2. No powers.
Analysis:
His Speed is nice. Nothing to go crazy, but 3 clicks with
Running Shot, even if those have low value, are nice coupled
with an 8 range. Flurry might come in very handy,
considering that he’s designed to be a close combat guy for
his second half of the dial.
His Attack is so-so. Like with his defense, no powers is to
be expected… I wish he had a slightly better attack, but I
can’t say it’s bad for the points.
His Defense is ok. Expectable and well placed powers for
what he needs/wants to do. I just with he started at 17 and
then went down slowly, like it does.
His Damage is low, and he has no powers… not much to say.
Conclusion: He’s a regular HSS figure. There are better,
either cheaper that do it better, like E Northstar, or more
expensive like U The Flash.
But, you can use him if you wanna have a speedster in your
Ultimate X-Men team. Outside of that, I don’t think he
should see much play. I don’t need to mention the feats,
right?
Speed: HSS is the best to have, flurry is cool too
Attack: Not great, team ability helps that though
Defense: Low numbers that stays around a 16, decent
powers though
Damage: 2’s straight through, the standard for a
piece like this
The Good: HSS
Decent piece, nothing
new though
The Bad: Low attack
Movement numbers aren’t
great
Low damage like usual
for these pieces
Feats: ICWO, Armor Piercing, Nanobots, and
Swingline are all standards and necessary for pieces like
this, it is up to you to pick and choose
Overall: Pieces like this are a dime a dozen and
most are better in their own way. Flash, Zoom, Kid Flash,
Jesse Quick, Jolt, Quicksilver, Nightcrawler, and Speed
Demon all basically do the same thing. You know these
pieces by now, hit…run…rinse…wash…repeat. If you like the
story use him, if not, go with E Armor Wars Quicksilver.
Constructed/Unrestricted: 2.5 / 5
Sealed/Draft: N/A / 5
Overall: 2.5 / 5
“Heroclix….they’re cool,
addictive, and available….the things practically sell
themselves.”
