CHARACTER SUMMARY: SHE-HULK (Jennifer Walters)
What a mini! And what escalation – we started with a steel beam and moved up through dumpsters to cars and bigger terrain – the modding was real! But is She-Hulk’s rules text as good as the mini itself, or do her abilities fall flat? Let’s see! STAMINA – As one would expect from a… Read more

Let’s see if AMG managed it… STAMINA – Mystique has a respectable 5 stamina. MOVEMENT – Long, woohoo! SIZE – 2, as expected. THREAT – 3. DEFENCES – A classic 3-threat… Read more

THEME TEAM: Mystical Machine Gun
As regular readers of this blog (I know you’re out there – thanks for your support) may have noticed, my output has dropped off a lot over the past few months (life reasons, let’s not get into it here), and I may be ever so slightly, the teeniest smidge behind on character summary articles.

INSPIRING MONOLOGUE
