Pass, though the theme has been dulled a bit on the character over the years, I do like it, and this design really fits it.

- MIRROR TEST/ Check to see if the unit were played against itself, if there would be any loops that would upset the balance of the Game.
Pass

Heavy Hitter or Mid-Level Hero Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? I really feel that he could sit anywhere between 200-220, but I know he has the potential for example, to put 5 wounds on Superman, so I am going with 220 from here.
- Give a brief overview. The theme of trying to steal life energy to get his attack power up is great. There is plenty of opportunities for Parasite to fail to drain/heal, but usually he will hit his roll for 1 drain/heal.

TEST 5
Map: Custom.

Squad Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 220.
- Give a brief overview. He was a big target going in and I thought he may fall like a chump, but once he starts healing up and draining people, he is a nice-decent counter to squads but still keeping things balanced.
Map: Custom.
Units: Parasite - VS - S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents x2.

Spoiler Alert!

Man, this went down just as it should have. The Agents were really fast, and grabbed height quickly, and even got off a Kill Box mid-game. Then things started turning around once Parasite started draining everyone and healing up. The Agents came back though after parasite failed his rolls a couple of times, and they took advantage from height (two attacks from above).
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Agents win with 2 men left.

_____________________________________________________________

Squad Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.

Map: Custom.
Units: Parasite - VS - Hawmen x2

Spoiler Alert!

Ouch. round 1 ended with Parasite Draining one guy and missing the other, then the other guy hit him for 2 wounds. Round 2 started with the Hawkmen hitting him for two wounds, then Parasit fought back and got down to just one Hawkman left before being crushed with that Nth Metal Mace.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Hawkmen win with 1 man left.

_____________________________________________________________

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 220.
- Give a brief overview. He really handed it to Batman, but Batman did have him on the ropes. The Heal/Drain feels very balanced as is and I am happy with the design.
Map: Custom.
Units: Parasite and Lex Luthor (Battlesuit) - VS - Superman I and Batman I.

Spoiler Alert!

Parasite and Luthor went in together and were met by Batman... he likes to work alone. As Parasite was drooling over Luthor's Power Suit, Batman broke off a few of his teeth with a precise Batarang to the jaw followed by another one to Luthor's exposed bald head. Parasite engaged Batman and sapped his energies some and swung and missed as the Dark Knight easily blocked from a top of a low level wall. Batman and Parasite started a duel that ended with parasite just barely making it out alive. Superman then rushed in but realized he was too late to save his friend. So Superman and Parasite started fighting, but after Parasite sucked the life juice out of superman the first time, Superman ended his horrors with a 6 skull attack. Luthor then unleashed his hidden Kryptonite gauntlets and started crippling Superman with it, but Superman fought back and pounded his way to victory.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Superman wins with 5 wounds.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 220.
- Give a brief overview. He isn't that difficult to kill really, but he is absolutely terrifying for anyone with lots of points and low life numbers.
Map: Custom.
Units: Parasite, Absorbing Man, Two-Face, Electra, and Kingpin - VS - Professor X, Angel, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Beast, and Iceman.

Spoiler Alert!

Kingpin was a blast to play. Sometimes he would give orders to Two-Face to run interference on one side of the map with Parasite (who couldn't help himself from draining Elektra), and other times he was sending in Elektra, all the while Hiding from Professor X's "Brain Force" - Beast and Iceman to steal Kingpin's mind. Once Professor X was in trouble with Parasite, he called all of his team back to him to help defeat the monster, though Professor lost two lives and Beast was killed. Jean kept struggling to deal with Parasite, and eventually he fell, but she was severely wounded. Then Electra and Kingpin charged in together to finish off Jean. Iceman took Electra out and Kingpin shortly after, but Two-Face had been sitting on the one highest point all game, and he started tearing things up with his normal attacks, frenzying 4 times, and two turns in a row! The dust settled and Professor X, Angel and Cyclops were up against Two-Face on height. Two-Face somehow trapped Angel and Cyclops and used his Heads you Live power to kill cyclops, Angel, and then himself.... I mean fair is fair right? LOL. So professor thinks he has survived, but there is Absorbing Man waiting in the ally against a door. He comes charging in and has a boosted attack with a +6 modifier thanks to absorbing from Parasite (not recommended btw ), and he starts wailing on Professor, but Professor actually blocks a couple attacks and used his X Defense. Professor manages to tag Absorbing man twice, but Absorbing man finally got in a good attack and Professor had no more X.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Absorbing Man wins with 3 wounds.
