And yes, why no Jimmy Olsen and his transformations? Perfect for the AE mechanic, I'd say.TotalToyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458868361840649001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-79628246177096101872011-09-16T17:24:29.033-05:002011-09-16T17:24:29.033-05:00Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Even Olsen in drag--give him a couple of clicks of Perplex and Shape Change. Really, he should have been present in some form in a Superman-themed set.<br /><br />I used the Gem of Cyttorak and the Scorpio Key in my last two HeroClix battles. No one was able to take possession of them in the first game; in the second, the Skrull Emperor grabbed the Gem, but was KO'd on the next turn, while Tomar Re wielded the Scorpio Key to some effect.Steve Mitchellnoreply@blogger.com
