In the comic Wonder Man was the first hero to challenge Doom and he recruited Hawkeye and Vision. So you try and play a team with that combo instead of the FF

@ Mantis

Glad you like it. That is indeed the Wasp next to vision. Now get a buddy and play it and let us know what you think. ;)

Excellent well-resourced article Eric, thank you for your time and effort. I fancy building a team based on the image you used (the comic cover not the classic sculpts in the action shot. What is that Hulk?). Great excuse to use the ols Sinister Mockingbird. Does anyone know who the female hero in yellow and blue next to the Vision is? Looks like Shadowcat to me but could be Wasp in one of her many, many outfits!

@ Superfriend: what you just said about the FF in the GG set. THAT! All of that. Yes please! Will sell my own granny for that!

@Grim
After getting the alt FF from IH, I was just not excited about the LE FF line up from GG and didn't bother to get them. I was super excited about the Future Foundation because I had missed the CA set and not pulled the SR FF members from GG.

Which reminds me, we really need a updated Human Torch. Maybe the FF are in GotG and we just don't know it. Maybe even an FF team base and a Fantasti-Car.

@ Superfriend
well the Future Foundation does add up to an even 300 points so they can recruit a 5th member.

the alternate FF from IH is an even 400.

the LE FF from Galactic Guardians is 480 so no go there

and a classic lineup with Mr Fantastic and Thing from GG and Invisible Woman with Human torch from CA comes out to 500. so another no go for 400.

@LE,
I really like the 3D aspect of the Doombot tokens. For future consideration, I wonder how hard it would be to devise a page layout which would make the Doombot pictures fold into a pyramid, square on the boom, but triangular on the sides, maybe even with flaps to tuck into each other.

Not sure of their point total, but there are a couple of interesting groups you could pit against doom here.

1. The Future Foundation Fantastic Four (the LE prize figures from Chaos War).

2. The alternate FF of Wolverine, Mr Fixit Hulk, Ghost Rider and Spiderman from the IH set.

3. And of course the actual FF from the Secret Invasion starter set, which do add up to 400 points.

All 3 would be kind of thematic and at the same time, because they all have the FF keyword, they would trigger Doom's healing trait, making defeating him more problematic.
