Today's review is Iron Man from
Avengers
Iron Man week continues with the remake
of Ultimate Iron
Man.
He is a Unique Common (kind of a
paradox), 154 points, 10 range 1 target, 8 clicks, a flier,
Ults team
Full Power
– Basically it is a ranged version of BCF that deals Iron
Man 2 damage after
Speed:
Love it, lots of
running shot and charge…earthbound is ….yeah
Attack:
Not bad, not great
either, all the power combinations for great
Defense:
Standard numbers that get low at the end.
Lots of damage reducers.
You might get lucky with Regen
Damage:
Not great, outwit at
the end is angering, and the power doesn’t seem the gamble
of 2 clicks to have a 50% chance of doing better than is
printed
The Good:
Lots of movement
10 range
Lots of damage reducers
Good power combinations
Ultimates team is great
The Bad:
Numbers all around
aren’t that great
Special power is too much of a
gamble
Outwit at end
Earthbound
EE with 1 target
Feats:
Armor piercing
works with the EE, but I think it isn’t worth it with only
one target.
Nanobots puts him at least back onto a click of running
shot.
Overall:
Well, here is a tough call.
He has a lot of stuff I love (good movement, workable
numbers, ults team) but a lot I hate (low end numbers and
bad power). The
problem with a
154 point piece is it needs to be the backbone of your
team…and I just don’t think this is the guy to do it with.
In higher point games he makes a great secondary
attacker/harasser.
I do love the sculpt though.
Constructed/Unrestricted:
2.5 / 5
Sealed/Draft: 2 / 5
Overall:
2.25 / 5
“Heroclix….they’re cool, addictive, and
available….the things practically sell themselves.”
