Mini PDF

The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Giant Sized X-Men set.
Its model number and name are #001 / Madrox or #100 / Jamie Madrox.

________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Jamie Madrox's mutant power manifested itself at birth, which is rare for a mutant. He can create exact duplicates (often referred to as 'dupes') of himself whenever he receives physical impact. As each duplicate is an exact replica of himself, he gained the codename Multiple Man. Each duplicate looks like a twin of Madrox, and will reproduce his physical appearance including his clothing. Madrox has spent time with both the Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-Men and has also run his own investigation agency.

MULTIPLICITY
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and before moving a Multiple Man figure, roll the 20-sided die.
• If you roll 1-4, you may move and attack with 1 Multiple Man figure you control.
• If you roll 5-12, you may move and attack with up to 3 Multiple Man figures you control.
• If you roll 13-17, you may move and attack with up to 5 Multiple Man figures you control.
• If you roll 18 or higher, you may move and attack with up to 7 Multiple Man figures you control.

DUPES 17
When a Multiple Man you control receives one or more wounds from a normal or special attack, you may roll the 20-sided die before removing that figure. If you roll 17 or higher, ignore any wounds that figure just received and, if possible, place one of your previously destroyed Multiple Man figures adjacent to the defending Multiple Man.

Looks pretty good Tcglkn, I don't see anything wrong with the design.

Cheers

Great design so far.

One other power I think he has is to divide when he gets hit. (Marro Dividers comes to mind). Just throwing it out there.

Oops, we changed to that in the public design post, but I forgot to update the .txt file on my laptop. Fixed now.

[Good Pig]

Nice! I like that better.

[IAmBatman]

Cool stuff for sure! I'm loving what this guy will do for the Outcast faction as well ...
I'm iffy on the power title "Dupes" though ... what about Multiplicity?
Also, do the stats seem a tad low? I could see an attack of 3 and bumping his cost up slightly (25 or 30).

Yea, he's been in the Brotherhood and couldn't think of a good class for him.

They are called dupes though so it's thematic

I'd be cool with a higher attack and think he would be worth at least 30 then. 7 attacks of 3 is strong.

[IAmBatman]

Yep, but you can get that with the Marro Drones too. Being a Ground Pounder with no range will help him keep the cost down. Might end up over 30 points, but I think that's OK ... have you figured out a mini choice for him? Aren't all the Multiple Man figs hella expensive?

[Good Pig]

Good points. How about something like "Increase The Odds"?

You get to move and attack with an odd number of figures with each tier.

You have to figure if you can move and attack with up to 7 that people will want at least 7 of them in their army. I'd agree with Bats and say bump his attack to 3 and points to 30. 7 Multiple Mans for 210 points seems pretty solid.

Yeah me for knowing how to multiply.

Common figure for the new booster coming out in a week or so...



Also matches your comic picture tickle.

[tcglkn]

Figure will probably be the new one in Giant Sized X-Men (Which is the info currently in the OP) who is supposed to be common. If it sells to fast I can't control that but it should be more availible.

@Good Pig: Increase the Odds sounds like a power name for Gambit. Not digging that here.
