No. 5

Nightmask [Avengers Assemble 054]

His powers really aren’t in the right spots to be useful at all. I mean, sure, he starts kinda OK with Perplex and Running Shot and Precision Strike. And if he’s facing Armor or Robots or Vehicles, his traited Mind Control gets a boost. But he costs a hefty 120 points for stats and powers found on much less expensive figs.

What’s packing on the points is this strong-sounding SP:

ENERGY PORTALS: Give Nightmask a power action and choose an unoccupied square within 6 squares. If that square is blocking terrain, the terrain is destroyed. Place Nightmask in the chosen square and he may make a close or ranged combat attack as a free action.

…but it doesn’t appear until mid-dial, then goes away until late dial. And with a lack of reducers except for a bit of late-dial Toughness, he may not survive long enough to use either that power or the temporary stat bump he gets when wounded.

If he started with his Energy Portals, he’d be an OK fig. But he’s a decidedly mediocre piece that somehow costs the same as Heroclixin’s No. 1, Nick Fury. What the actual hell…

Cart him the hell outta here
