#9: Arkham Origins
The Arkham Origins Joker is a very strange one indeed -- and doesn't quite fit with any of the others. His specialty is clearly Poison, and all of his traits and special powers are themed around it. It's a nice concept, and it works for the most part, but there are some issues with it.
First let's look at some standard powers -- the defense is nice. With Combat Reflexes he has an effective 19 defense in close combat, which is very formidable. The 140 point-cost is awfully high, but he's a Wild Card with Mastermind, so he's a kind of a tentpole character if you can build the right team.
(Continued below...)
While he's ranked in the top 10 in this list, the designers were clearly asleep at the helm at this one -- the writing is all over the place and wording of The Joker's special powers is inconsistent with other HeroClix figures. It's as if they hired a 16 year old newbie to write it. Still, the concept is and "poison theme" is very interesting... but for such a recent figure Wizkids needs to step up it's editing process.
