Thanks, REJ!

Do you think he'd be worth 370 if the roll for Genetic Manipulation was 16+ instead of 18+?

DRAFTING TEST
Hmm.. hard to say, @370 cost and his Genetic Manipulation D20 so hard to get, mostly in thematic "fun" games.

USAGE TEST
Pass, tried and failed the Genetic Manipulation rolls several times, though.

STRATEGY TEST
Sure, changing other units base stats is very unique.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Not really.
- What should be the unit's value? A lot less than 370.
- Give a brief overview. I had plans of Harley with a huge defense and Deadpool with higher attack in this one. Those plans went down almost as quick Deadpool did to the fighters. He never attacks normally. A couple of Fo1 attacks from Iron Fist, once for 4 wounds KO's him with the quickness. He does Heal one though.

Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? No.
- What should be the unit's value? 370 still feels high to me after this one.
- Give a brief overview. In this game with Yellow Lanterns as his teammates, and their low base stats to Manipulate seemed great. However things went wrong quick in this one too. Sinestro is taken down very quick. Mr. Sinister uses his normal attack several times, destroying Kirigi and a Hand. His defense/life holds up great, as he out heals the Assassins. Takes wounds from Kirigi, a couple Hand, and is KO'd by Winter Soldier and his Marked for Death.

Those games went bad from the start with Deadpool going down quick in the first two, and Sinestro in the last. I hope the individual data results are usable even if the overall final team data isn't.

Overall I'd suggest reducing his Genetic Manipulation roll, have it work by removing an OM, or allow him to do it, and attack. Something because rolling an 18+ is just so hard to achieve, 14+ isn't bad for mutants though. I'd also think about taking away the number 3 marker, and starting with the number 4. It's the first to be removed and it will probably be on a teammate, in the early game, and in C3G superscape a 3 is awful low even if it's on just range. As-is he feels a lot less than 370 to me.
