Compiling a list of 10 truly terrible pieces of crap this past year was harder than ever. Some of Heroclixin’s choices would’ve simply been completely average dials in years past.
But we’re in the era of power leap, now. Completely average might as well equal total crap in some folks’ eyes.
We’ll start with a (dis)Honorable Mention that flirted with being the best of the worst:
The Sharpshooting Avenger (Avengers Movie Starter 005)
At first, this version of Clint Barton looks just fine: Running Shot with 10 AV, 3 damage and Willpower isn’t exactly chopped liver. He’s also got a nice trait giving him 3 targets to use his Incapacitate with.
- Then you notice that trait drops his AV to 9.
- And there’s only a short 5 clicks of life on his soft dial.
- He’s also saddled with two team abilities: Avengers and SHIELD, neither of which really serve him very well.
- The worst thing is that all this inefficiency cost 75 points.
Jeremy Renner isn’t truly a bad piece, though. It’s just that there are close to 100 other figures in that price range — including a number named “Hawkeye” — that are better fielded than this one.
Yep…you’re goin’ DOWN. That little rope arrow ain’t savin’ ya.
Enough intro. Join us next week for the descent into mediocrity.
