STRENGTHS:

Queen boasts steady stats for the first half of her dial, especially in the Attack slot. Mid-dial, she flips to the conflicting powers of Enhancement and Combat Reflexes, forcing players to either use her in melee (which works fine with her BCF and 0-range Incap) or taxi her away to aid her sniping allies. Fortunately, the JSA TA is a good fit for Combat Reflexes, so long as you keep her DV properly boosted.

WEAKNESSES:

Starting with Incap instead of Super Strength is a problem, esp. with Toughness likely to be insufficient to ensure she'll land on one of her two clicks of Super Strength. All that Combat Reflexes makes her a soft target. Numbers aren't hot, either.

CARDS TO CONSIDER:

CONTINGENCY PLAN isn't bad, being useable on both ends. But Polly may be better served with no feats at all.

IN SUM:

The booby prize of the Origin chases, Queen Hippolyta is pretty lackluster. Save her for Amazon or Justice Society themes. 2.5 of 5.

So much for Origin's chases. Next we'll dip over to some figures that weren't pullable from boosters, making them perhaps even rarer than the chase figures — the Judge LEs!
