FRONT PAGE HEROISM
Once per game before rolling for initiative, if you control at least one Kryptonian Champion, you may choose to add 5 to your initiative roll for each Journalist you control. If you do, you may then choose an opponent's figure engaged with a Journalist you control. You may immediately remove a random Order Marker from that figure's card.

"GREAT CAESAR'S GHOST!"
At the end of any player's turn, if a figure you control received one or more wounds, you may move a Journalist Hero you control that did not receive those wounds up to 4 spaces. A figure moved this way will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Spoiler Alert!

Moments of Inspiration says destroyed by receiving wounds, but then specifies attack later.

Honestly, being once per game and basically the main reason to draft him, I'd just let it work any time they'd be destroyed. They'll still be at only 1 life, which, in my experience, isn't that powerful of an effect.

[tcglkn]

I know you probably had this draft first but it feels pretty similar to where Supergirl ended up.

EDIT: Not sure if that's a bad thing or not, just kinda takes some of the excitement out of this design.

[LordVenoc]

Nah I think you're right that it is kinda a bad thing. While it is a little bit different, it feeling a lot like Supergirl's kinda marquee thing there that you'd be able to get for a lot cheaper feels like a no go unfortunately.

[tcglkn]

Moment of Inspiration feels more like an a attack boost or maybe a once per game additional turn more than a will to keep fighting anyways.

EDIT: Also what phase is this in?

I think Perry is always editing, but we can it Breathing

I could see something like that. Basically Moment of Inspiration (Or We Can Be Heroes was an alternate title I liked) was supposed to capture the "regular folk being inspired by Superhumans" kinda thing, essentially capturing the whole like, civilian distracting the bad guy buying the hero time kinda moment. So if we move it out of a defensive thing, I could see it being something that more ties Kryptonians to the Human Champion allies.

[IAmBatman]

Maybe an attack boost for each Unique Human Hero adjacent to the defending figure?

Eh, I don't know that we need more dice adding. Maybe something like:

WE CAN BE HEROES
Once per game, after revealing an Order Marker on and taking a turn with a Unique Kryptonian Champion in your army, you may immediately take a turn a Champion, Journalist, or Citizen you control.

Or a more disruptive/defensivey:

MOMENT OF HEROISM
Once per game, after rolling for initiative, you may choose an opponent's figure engaged with a Journalist you control. That opponent must immediately reveal and remove the lowest numbered Order Marker from that figure's card.

[tcglkn]

I kinda like the order marker removal one. I dig the theme there.

[LordVenoc]

I definitely think I can roll with that. Goal is to keep him real cheap (though even that power might still not even have him cracking 30 points lol).
