_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Long ago on Krypton, Non was a respected scientist. When the Kryptonian Science Council discovered that Jor-El and Non had determined that in a short matter of time, Krypton would suffer geothermic upheaval that would destroy the entire planet, they branded the two as heretics and sent General Zod and his militants to Jor-El's laboratory to arrest he and Non. The Science Council administered a stern warning to them, and set them free. Though Jor-El remained silent, Non made it his mission to alert the people of Krypton of the impending doom. Soon, the Council ordered that Non be lobotomized to silence his stirring of the people. This drove Zod and Ursa to begin a rebellion and overthrow the Council. The three were eventually caught and sentenced to death, but Jor-El defended them, and instead had them sent to the Phantom Zone.
Eventually, with the freeing of the bottled city of Kandor, Zod, Ursa, and Non were pardoned for their crimes and were set free. But it wasn't long before Zod took military control of the surviving Kryptonians and waged a war against Earth. With Non as his mute yet brilliant science officer, they nearly brought Earth to its destruction. And were it not for Superman, Earth would have certainly become a New Krypton.

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-

• Kryptonian figures have a number of specific counters to look out for: beware memories of their homeworld, as a Glyph of Green Kryptonite, a Kryptonite Blast Special Attack from Lex Luthor, or other Kryptonians, who ignore Kryptonian Defense. Current Kryptonians include: Cyborg Superman, Doomsday, Eradicator, General Zod, Kryptonian Soldier, Kryptonian Infiltrator, Non, Superboy (Kal-El), Superboy (Kon-El), Supergirl, Superman, Superman (II), and Ursa. (Note that Non is also effective against many of your opponents' Kryptonian figures.)

KILL CRAZY
When Non destroys an opponent's figure with his normal attack, he may attack again. Roll 1 additional attack die for each figure he destroyed this turn. Non may continue attacking with his normal attack until he does not destroy a figure.

KRYPTONIAN DEFENSE
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from a figure that is not a Kryptonian, if at least one shield is rolled, all blanks rolled count as extra shields.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING

[Hahma]

He'll be devastating against squaddies and mid-levels. Opponent will have to keep figures spread out and load up on special attack units.

I'd think he's going to be a bit more than 320 with an attack of 8, flying move of 6 and Kryptonian Defense.

Wonder Man has same base stats and his Ionic Imbalance is all over the place. Non has Kryptonian Defense and Kill Crazy, so I could certainly see Non around 350 points.

He's definitely going to be nasty with Invisible Woman, having defense of 10 with Kryptonian Defense.

[SirGalahad]

Yikes at Hahma's point.

In KILL CRAZY, you need a lowercase 'O' in 'opponent's'

KRYPTONIAN DEFENSE
When rolling defense against a normal attack from a figure that is not a Kryptonian, if at least one shield is rolled, all blanks rolled count as extra shields.

Non-figure specific, just like on your last two (and Superboy and Supergirl, but it needs to be corrected canus-ly).

[Griffin]

I agree that his cost will go up for sure.

Invisible Woman is even better with Superman's defense of 7 and Man of Steel. That is why it is almost always a good idea to kill IW first.

What needs to be corrected exactly?

[Griffin]

You know, I did originally have this guy's defense at 5, and I was worried that there would be too much swing in how much he could kill VS how quickly he would die, but maybe a defense of 5 is a good idea. He is just freaking big. I feel that he is more durable than Supergirl but at least on equal footing.

[SirGalahad]

You have Non listed by name in the power text, but for that same power everywhere else, the figure is not named.

Dang! I was looking and didn't see the problem. How do you do it, Special Eyes? How do you do it?

[Margloth]

I wonder about Scientist here for the same reason I wonder about it on Lizard. Is he actually an active Scientist still? It's not necessarily wrong, just wonder if something like Brawler or Brute or Minion would be better. Speaking of Minion, would Weak-Minded be a good fit here? Although I do like the 2 power card.

Bear in mind that my only knowledge of this guy is from the movie, so no idea if that was an accurate portrayal or not.
