Number 6 of the GLC is:
Abin Sur (Green Lantern Fast Forces #006)
Why he’s a top piece:
- Not only is he the cheapest-by-far source of the GL TA (for Carry-ready wildcards such as Dr. Strange to copy) at 50 points, but…
- …his “Always Uses A Ship” SP makes him the first character in the game who can carry any single-based character regardless of combat symbols or keywords. So yes: he can carry a fellow GLC member despite the fact that they all fly.
- High Speed value makes him very efficient in his taxi role.
Why he’s not higher on the list:
- Weak overall AV and DV stats, especially compared with other top GL pieces. Despite Super Senses and 3 damage, he’s a relatively easy KO and not much of a fighter.
Still, his SP changes the game for the GLC and HeroClix alike, easily making him Heroclixin’s #6 GLC fig.

The #5 GLC fig is:
Kilowog (Green Lantern Gravity Feed #003)
He makes the list because:
- He’s a rare close combatant for the GLC thanks to Charge and Super Strength, and highly competent at it to boot. Dial-long Invulnerability or Toughness rounds out the package.
- Enhancement and 8 range means he’s got something to do for others and himself until the enemy reaches Charge range.
- Indomitable keeps him pushing painlessly.
- When he takes damage, he bumps his nearby fellow Brute, GLC or Soldier allies’ AV via his “Tough Drill Instructor” SP from clicks 2-7.
He’d be higher on the list if not for:
- His DV sinks mid-dial to an anemic 15. (Fortunately, he’s got Invulnerability to bolster that!)
His unique blend of frontline brawling, secondary shooting and support skills makes Kilowog the #5 best GLC figure so far in HeroClix.
Be back tomorrow for numbers 4 and 3!
