STRENGTHS:

Zombie J'onn here is a standard Hypersonic Speed-y brick to start, but only on sporadic clicks (1, 4 and 10)...otherwise he's just a brick. Click 3 brings in Shape Change for another level of defense. 

Mid-dial, he gains the SP "Decaying Embrace," granting Plasticity and Phasing/Teleport, allowing him to go as he pleases while denying adjacent foes the same freedom...and if they try and fail, they get dealt a click of damage! That's not fair.

Late-dial, he gets a good shot at healing via Regeneration or Steal Energy (with good AV and Exploit Weakness). But he doesn't need to wait until then, thanks to his trait "Power Levels Rising" that heals him when a foe is KO'd within 4 squares.

WEAKNESSES:

Toughness is a weak damage reducer for a dial of this cost. No consecutive clicks of Hypersonic Speed can strand him out in the open when using his self-healing trait (as traits are not optional). His AV is a little bit under par for his cost.

CARDS TO CONSIDER:

AUTOMATIC REGENERATION can really keep him going. OPPORTUNIST works for Indomitable figs. CAMOUFLAGE works on his mid-dial. And you can double-up on his healing opportunities with the BLACK LANTERN.

IN SUM:

Not a bad piece...you can make him work if you treat him as the finesse tentpole he is. 3 of 5.
