That Emma Frost switch mechanic is fantastic. I'd love to see more characters work that way! It would be even cooler if they have to roll to 'adapt/survive', like a SS roll.

Omega Red looks beastly as well, but as so often happens, his new sculpt is nowhere near as impressive as that from Mutations and Monsters.

I've pulled both of them in a pre-release this past weekend and played them on a team, they are pretty scary in somebody else's hands, I couldn't roll to save my life.

@ Wolf
Good call! Shame though, I'd have liked a ' when the going gets tough the tough look out for number one " type character.

That looks like a great Magneto dial for 90 pts, but it's pretty weak and low-cost for a Veteran Magneto! I mean, a recent Black Widow is 110 pts and Magneto's power level is off the charts compared to hers

@MantisWarrior
I don't think he'll be able to attach it to himself, since the power says "another friendly character"

That magneto dial looks pretty solid for 90 points. I like the way the shield works. At the start of the game he can give it to a buddy then, once he takes a hit or two and loses his own ESD can steal it off them and be selfish. Very Magnetish IMHO!

Omega red is looking great. Only the sculpt is inferior to the old MuMo one. If you can get the charge off he'll be in a nice place to absorb retaliation.

Nightcrawler is cheap and cheerful but doesn't stand out compared to previous versions.

Out of my Way!
Give Juggernaut a power action and move him in a straight line using IM Ignores Hindering, Destroys Blocking, Ignores Characters. After resolving actions make a close combat attack against all characters along the path Juggernaut traveled. Those characters take 3 damage rather than normal damage and are placed adjacent to the square that Juggernaut traveled.
My Helmet Protects Me!
Juggernaut starts the match with his helmet on. While Juggernaut’s Helmet is on, Juggernaut cannot be targeted by mind control, outwit, penetrating/ psychic blast, and has willpower.
When the helmet is on and Juggernaut is damaged by a close combat attack, The attack does not cause damage. The opponent whose character attacked Juggernaut and Juggernaut’s player roll 1D6 each adding their characters respective damage values to their roll. If Juggernaut’s combined roll total is less than the attacking character’s roll, The helmet is removed from the game.

@Joe,

1) The cover shown isn't always the 1st appearance (hasn't been for a few years)

2) The GSX Collosus had the cover so I think they are simply trying to diversify the cover since we don't get Collosus as much as Wolverine and Batman.

He was first in giant sized x-men 1 but they are showing a different cover. What's up with that?

Boishe moi! That's a pretty buff dial for 50 pts, huh?
