Today's review is Deadman from Justice League

I didn’t really know him until Kingdom Come, so I am not the one to give him a background.  He was pretty cool in Kingdom Come though.

He is a Unique(Rare), 119 points, 0 range, 5 clicks of life, a flier, and a mystic

Attack – Possession – Give deadman a close or ranged (assume 4) combat action as a free action.  If you roll successful, deal no damage, and remove deadman from the board and place him on his card.  That character is now friendly to your force and not your opponents.  After doing an action with said piece, you can release it.  Remove all action tokens from the target and put deadman 4 spaces to which the target has line of sight.  If the target is possessed at the end of the turn, roll a d6 and add 1 to that roll for every 100 points (or fraction of) of the target.  On a 6, the target is releasd, on a 5 or less, give deadman a click of damage.  Each time the target takes damage, deal deadman 1 unavoidable damage after the action is resolved.  Any affect that can cancel the targets power can cancel possession.  If deadman is killed or possession is countered, the target is released.  Deadman or target character cant be targeted by mind control or possession

Speed:  Full dial phasing, not bad

Attack:  Pretty consistent actually, not too bad…not great either

Defense:  Nice, stays high and super senses can keep him around

Damage:  0….yup

The Good:  High defense

      Consistent attack

      Full dial phasing

      Mystics

The Bad:   No damage

     No range

     Possession…well it seems fun

Feats:   no

Overall:    Well, it doesn’t take a genius to tell you that this piece is meant for fun only.  I have been out of it for a while, so if anyone made a competitive team out of him PLEASE let me know.  That power is a handfull, but the fact of the matter is that he will be taking so much damage so fast he probably will not live long other than 1 or two turns.  Though, in that time, you could take over a Thanos or Superman and really hurt the other big players of your opponent’s team. That could be game breaking right there. Now, does that seem likely…no.  Also, I don’t think you can perform an action after possessing your target piece, so that hurts having to wait.  Still, it seems like a really fun thing to try.  Like I said, a 5/5 for fun games.  Unfortunately, this is a competitive review, so I hafta be fair when it comes to tournaments.  He gets the half point for the mystics and chance of major annoyance.

Constructed/Unrestricted:  1.5 / 5

Sealed/Draft: 1.5 / 5

Overall: 1.5 / 5

Fun: 5/5  (had to throw it in there)
