I feel sick. I have debased myself and done the unthinkable. I have… *gulp*… done some maths… Whilst out at work last week I found myself pondering attack types. Namely such questions as what is the most/least prevalent attack type in the game, and how are the three attack types spread out across the many…

CHARACTER SUMMARY: HEIMDALL, THE ALL SEEING (Heimdall)
If only we had the gift of foresight and could have seen marvel this coming! I’m a sucker for all things Asgardian, so to have Heimdall, Executioner and that glorious Malekith model on the horizon is most wondrous indeed. Let’s get into Heimdall’s stats and see what he brings us. STAMINA – A highly respectable…
ULTIMATE ENCOUNTER: Unstoppable Colossus
Colossus has touched the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak and attained powers comparable to the juggernaut! He has lost control and is rampaging through the city, destroying all in his path. The faster he gets the more aggressive he becomes – it’s down to you to slow him down and bring him under control. It’s been…
THEME TEAM: Raining Blood
In the “Theme Team” series of articles this competitive-phobic player will do the unthinkable and (shock, horror) create a roster. Not just any roster though, each new roster will be based on a specific theme. Will the rosters be thematic? Heck yes. Will they be playable? Yep. Will they leave your opponent weeping on the…
Back From the Dark Dimension
This post contains absolutely no information of value or worth to anyone seeking game tips. If you want to read about characters or game tactics then this one isn’t for you i’m afraid. If, however, you wish to know why nothing has been posted on this blog in nearly a year then stick with me…
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…
CHARACTER SUMMARY: ANGELA (Aldrif Odinsdottir)
You have no idea how long it took me to track down a reasonably priced copy of Original Sin: Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm, wherein we learn much about Angela’s origin and get to see some great Asgardian battles. Angela’s introduction into the Marvel universe is an interesting story indeed, but not as interesting…
CHARACTER SUMMARY: TOAD (Mortimer Toynbee)
At long last we come inexorably to the last of the 2020 Brotherhood releases, Toad. How to translate Magneto’s loyal lackey into the game? How to make someone dressed like a medieval court jester a desirable model to reach for? Let’s see. STAMINA – 5, decent enough. MOVEMENT – Medium, surprising given that he is…
CHARACTER SUMMARY: SABRETOOTH (Victor Creed)
It’s time to move onto the penultimate Brotherhood of Mutants character now, namely Sabretooth. Some people call him crap-Wolverine, but is that true? And how have AMG translated him into the game? Let’s see. STAMINA – 6, nice and chunky. MOVEMENT – Sweet, nourishing, wondrous long. SIZE – 3, which surprised me a little. But…
CHARACTER SUMMARY: MYSTIQUE (Raven Darkhölme)
Mystique has the potential to be a tricky one design-wise. After all, how on earth do you design a character who can be anyone? 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…
