Spoiler Alert!

GAME SUMMARY:
Ms. Marvel got her little team unto a nearby castle within the first round, just in time too, as Hawkgirl swooped in on the final turn to put 3 wounds on Cap. With a turn on Cap to inspire and an OM on Stature to enlarge, the Avengers’ second round was slow, but with their final turn they put 4 wounds on Hawkgirl. Cap went crazy in the third round, finishing off Hawkgirl and a couple of Hawkmen. Going into the final round, things were looking solid for the Avengers, but then Hawkman came out; over three turns, he KOed Stature, then Cap, and finally Ms. Marvel, all with only taking a single wound himself.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: 160 seems about perfect for Stature. Being able to switch between her small carryable form and her large powerhouse form makes her very versatile, and she fits into a lot of builds. She ended up doing a lot of damage in my games, but she had some pretty good rolls and was generally rolling 7 or 8 attack dice (with boosts from height, Cap, or Star-Lord+Bane); plus, being paired with higher priority targets meant she wasn’t getting attacked much, so she got in plenty of attacks. I could see her cost coming up 10 points or so, but not much more than that.
GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Very thematic take on Stature, and probably the most fun of the size-changers so far. Switching between sizes not only feels very thematic, but also makes her really interesting to play. Definitely an  from me.
