Looking to complete my final 2011-related countdown before April: my FAVORITE pieces of the year.
#6
Madrox (Giant-Size X-Men 001)
WHY I WANT TO PLAY HIM (them) EVERY WEEK:
Refer back to the F.U.N. article I wrote on him last April. It’s all still true.
WHY I DON’T:
Only a 33% chance of his power working, and the fact that he otherwise needs to invest additional points to get the most out of his other powers, and his lacking the X-Men keyword to really work well with other mutants keep him off a lot more teams than I like.
I’M PLAYING HIM (them) NEXT:
On any X-Factor team, of course. And, as newly qualifying sculpts release, he’s a fixture on my periodic “trenchcoat brigade” theme teams.
Next: another X-person.
