As always, there are honorable mentions who didn’t quite make the Heroclixin’ cut. Let’s take a final look at those:
The Flash and Green Lantern (The Brave and The Bold #048): At 200 points with a max 10 AV, this duo was just too much of any given team to crack the top ten. But when teamed with a lot of smaller Police pieces, their double-Telekinesis SP can be of great use. And a trio of Gotham City Detectives make their ranged Duo Attacks lethal!
_____________
DEO Agent (Unleashed #002): Sporting PD TA, Perplex and Support, this Experienced generic was considered for the list. her practically unusable AV with the latter power squeezed her out of consideration. Similarly, her LE version Cameron Chase (Unleashed #201) has problems with her numbers and takes too long to truly contribute to the Police themed team when compared with the cheaper and much more immediately useful GC Detectives or Mandroid Armor. But Stealthy, Impervious Outwit is great if you can get her there.
_____________
Zoom (Arkham Asylum #036): Leaving aside his villainous tendencies, his high price and low damage kept him from cracking the top ten. Sure, Perplex helps the latter liability. But early Perplex is a rare power in the theme, requiring other expensive cops or really underpowered ones.
_____________
Allen the Alien (Invincible #004): While an excellent melee threat, he’s completely soft-shelled and can’t take a hit at all.
_____________
Detective John Jones (Origin #210): Although he’s the best of the Police-keyworded Martians, he’s far too expensive for his early supporting-style clicks and not beastly enough down the line to make Top Ten status.
_____________
Boodikka (Green Lantern Gravity Feed #010): With decent stats, powers and a good balance of ranged and melee ability, she was cut down by low overall damage numbers.
_____________
Jane Foster (X-Plosion #206): One of the game’s best healers just happens to have the Police keyword. If Support were still as big a factor in HeroClix as it used to be, she’d have been a shoo-in. But in the power’s current more-balanced state, Foster is merely an also-ran.
_____________
Green Lantern (Green Lantern Fast Forces #001): Indomitable with TK, RCE and a long dial, this version of GL couldn’t make the cut due to his relatively high price and lack of moving attack to be more effective at that cost. Setmate Kilowog (Green Lantern Fast Forces #002) had many of the same issues, with his lack of Indom and shorter life and range offsetting his lower cost. Neither was quite impressive or unique enough to carve a place in Heroclixin’s Top Ten…but maybe they do on yours!
