The guidelines are that the counter must cost half as much as the target if unique or one quarter as much if common. They must have a decent chance at putting nice damage on the target (or some sort of instant kill). They must have a decent chance at not being murdered before getting the chance to attack at least twice (with consecutive order markers). They preferably are immune to the target's power(s). I welcome any comments and/or suggestions. I will continue this list as far as it takes me, but for now let's start at the top...
Jotun - 225 points
Dumutef Guard (25 points) - If on a road space, the road troll's defense and attack are both at least 5. Only 1 life is a problem, but at a nice cost, you can probably get off a few hits on Jotun without running the risk of being thrown.
Deadeye Dan (60 points) - I am personally not a fan of this strategy, but if you're feeling lucky, Sharpshooting Jotun from afar is a great feeling.
Concan the Kyrie Warrior (80 points) - Concan has good base stats for only 80 points at 4/4 with 5 life. He flies, so he's immune to Throw, and he can get height on Jotun more easily than non-flying characters.
Crixus (90 points) - Though he can be thrown, his One Shield Defense can help him stay alive long enough to hit Jotun with a heavy attack a few times.
Ne-Gok-Sa (90 points) - This is a bit risky, as it will be hard to do much damage with only 3 attack, but 6 defense and 5 life will keep you alive for a while as you try to turn the tide with a Mind Shackling of the highest costing non-Marvel figure in the game. Just don't get thrown out of the picture.
Sir Denrick (100 points) - Giant Killer can be a killer alright, and Coward's Reward will keep Jotun from wandering off to murder all your WoA, samurai, etc.
Brunak (110 points) - Good stats will keep you in the fight, though having more than 3 life would make this a much better option.
Airborne Elite (110 points) - The flexibilty of The Drop (assuming you hit it) can spread out the AE to avoid that Wild Swing, and getting height is usually a no-brainer. Four attacks of 4 are enough to put a hurtin' on about any figure.

Wait, wait, let me stop laughin...
Ok, I think I have it under con...
He has
8 attack dice.
EIGHT, is the
reason why he's called the
hero killer.
You act like
6 defence is good enough to block 8
attack die. It'd be like using a bullet proof-vest to block a nuclear bomb.
