I've found, for instance, that at 1,000 points even, Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman, and Angel are tough to beat!
Angel carries everyone all over the field, Professor X protects with his Psychic Defense X and makes Order Marker management easy, Cyclops is a great special attack and backup plan for Order Marker placement, Jean is good for getting around high defenses, helping position allies when Angel is preoccupied or dead, and halting enemy troops in their tracks, whereas Iceman provides a nasty special attack for cheap, and both he and Beast can take off Order Markers from the opponent while Professor X is helping his team take 6 turns a round!
The flaw here is protecting X. With everyone occupied elsewhere, X is vulnerable. A stable, defensive, yet synergizing unit like Martian Manhunter may help. He is a Telepath (so many benefits), he can't be targeted by range, and has stable stats as well ass the ability to move units. He can constantly move X out of threat range while he cannot be attacked unless the opponent nears.
I disagree. I think that by using Angel to carry him away after the first normal attack he takes each time and using Psychic Defense X to cancel out 1 attack every round, and using Jean Grey to slow the approach of attackers, it's really hard to get to him consistently and attack him. Then throw in Beast's Negotiation, and you're auto removing one of your opponent's Order Markers every round. Just keep people somewhat tied up with your attackers and keep Professor X out of the fray as much as you can, and there's a good chance he'll be your end gamer (and he's pretty good at that too!).

We should probably try to keep the discussion to figures that have been released.
Heh. Then what's the fun of knowing what's coming out before you guys do?

Another spoiler! Punisher is 180 points!
Doh! Might I say he is a "blast" to play, too!
Don't you know by now that my teasers are totally intentional!
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.
