LAZARUS PIT DISCOVERY
Start the game with a Glyph of Lazarus Pit on this card. Before moving, you may place the Glyph of Lazarus Pit power-side up on any empty space on the battlefield.

LIVE TO SERVE
Ubu may not move onto a power-side up Glyph of Lazarus Pit.

I realize most of these are of Lex Luthor, but there's almost nothing out there for Ubu, so I thought the art team might be able to do something with another bald comic villain.

[IAmBatman]

Not choosing a mini for this guy for a while because I want to see if we find out more about that Batman wave of Heroclix coming out. I'll likely put him on hold once we hit Final Editing.

[tcglkn]

Don't know anything about this guy but the power set looks solid and I see what you are doing here.

[IAmBatman]

Yep, he should be the perfect henchman for Ra's, but he has the flexibility to work in other armies.

THE DEMON’S HAND
If a Mastermind you control adjacent to Ubu is attacked by an enemy figure, after rolling defense, if the defending Mastermind is not destroyed, you may remove that Mastermind from the battlefield, place Ubu on the space previously occupied by the defending Mastermind, and place the defending Mastermind on any empty space adjacent to Ubu.

I am not really sure on what the theme is here???

Also, would you rather just use "switch" as a key word here to cut out a lot of text? Or is the placing of the Mastermind adjacent to Ubu relevant somehow?

looks good. What if the glyph of Laz is a random face-down glyph on the battlefield?

The Laz power is taken directly from Ras.

[Hahma]

Well I don't know anything about this guy, but it seems like he's there to help Ra's with adding another Lazarus Pit and all.

I'm kind of with Griff though as far as why "switch" can't be used instead of removing from the battlefield and placing back on adjacent to Ubu.

All I know is that it will be fun saying, "Sit Ubu, sit. Good dog"

Sorry, to be clear , I was referring to the "Live to Serve" power.
