Normally I'm not a fan of encouraging players to sit in their startzone, but I do think it's an interesting territory for designing that we haven't explored yet, and very thematic for the character.

And yes, we've referenced Start Zones in powers before (Heimdall and the Bifrost for instance, but I'm not sure if we've used it on any other cards or not).

Good call on the name change. I like Honorable Defender.

RANGED COUNTER STRIKE
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from a non-adjacent figure within 6 clear sight spaces of Sunfire, all excess shields count as unblockable hits on the attacking figure.

A ranged counter strike would be a fun power, but doesn't seem particularly thematic for the character. I'd rather just go without a defense power to keep the design simple.

I wasn't sure myself, but doing some research it looks like he is immune to fire:

The one other power option I had considered was something along the lines of Pyro's Engulf ability, since Wikipedia, Comicvine, and Marvel Database all mention he can radiate intense heat outwards from him (even to extremes similar to Johnny Storm's Supernova); and I know he does it in other media (such as the old X-Men Legends II video game).

EDIT: Missed Bats post; I'm not opposed to some of the other changes to simplify it mechanically, but I also don't think the current power is an issue. We could probably add some extra wording for clarity or even just FAQ it.
