Spoiler Alert!

5th Precinct Beat Cops (65 points) DC Cheap wound soaks; can be unweildy to get into place but great when they work. A
A.I.M. Agents (70 points) MARVEL Tons of damage potential in theory, but also plenty of potential to die before they get to do it. B
Aaron Cash (65 points) DC Inexpensive wound soak is amazing in pod builds. A+
Abe Sapien (Langdon Caul) (150 points) DARK HORSE Submerge is very good if there's water. If there's not he's significantly worse. B
Abomination (320 points) MARVEL A beatstick, but not a lot of tricks for a figure in this point range. B-
Abomination (Emil Blonsky) (360 points) MARVEL Figure movement is never bad, and neither are those stats. B+
Absorbing Man (Carl Creel) (260 points) MARVEL Potential for a lot of power from a figure this cheap, particularly if you bring a high-defense figure of your own alongside him. B+
Agent Hunter (130 points) IMAGE Cheap and handy addition to an agent build. B
Alfred Pennyworth (60 points) DC If he has a good target for healing he's great. A
Allen the Alien (400 points) IMAGE Those stats are never bad, but not a ton here for 400 points. B-
Amazon Warriors (100 points) DC Require a bit too much setup for an okay payoff. C+
Anarky (Lonnie Machin) (110 points) DC There's one good turn you can get with a lot of Civilians and an okay OM removal power but outside of a Civilian build use something else B-
Angel (Liam) (200 points) DARK HORSE Not quite the powerhouse of some other defensive figures, but quite handy none the less. B+
Angel (Warren Worthington III) (90 points) MARVEL Free movement at a cheap price - combos well with many other defensive powers. A+
Angstrom Levy (225 points) IMAGE His ability to make a major threat just disappear temporarily can be devastating. Try with Hawkeye (II). A-
Annihilus (360 points) MARVEL Cosmic Control Rod is great and if you can keep it on this card he'll probably earn his points back. B-
Ant-Man (Eric O'Grady) (60 points) MARVEL He's an agent and he's got Vanish and Insect synergy but it's still not usually worth drafting him. C-
Ant-Man (Hank Pym) (30 points) MARVEL Insect Control isn't great here either but at least he's super cheap. C+
Anti-Monitor (1600 points) DC Huge Event Hero-ness avoids most negative powers, and power and OM disruption allows him to roll dice with most opposing armies. A-
Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur) (620 points) MARVEL A strong bruiser by himself, and the attack boosts to strong mutants and the E-glyphs put him over the top. A
Aqualad (Garth) (60 points) DC Decent throw-in in an Atlantean or sidekick build. Shame he can't be played with Tempest C+
Aquaman (Arthur Curry) (230 points) DC Water healing is great and he's boss on water. Shame water is rarely on height. B-
Aquaman (Arthur Curry) (II) (330 points) DC Submerge is a good mitigator for the water not being on height and Retractable Harpoon brings them down to your level B
Archangel (Warren Worthington III) (260 points) MARVEL Great with Martian Manhunter, and his autowunds are handy in any defensive build. B+
Arkham Inmates (60 points) DC Decent powers for screening. Usually the best choice for Hugo Strange's Experiment B
Armor (Hisako Ichiki) (100 points) MARVEL Not great offense, but just having a mutant sidekick that doesn't die quickly is nice. B+
Arnim Zola (200 points) MARVEL None of his powers scream "amazing", but with good targets for coloning and transmission (which you can bring) he can be strong against any opponent. A-
Asgardian Warrior (190 points) MARVEL Solid wall of warriors. Work best with Odin. B+
Atom (Ray Palmer) (50 points) DC Moves around the map for free and can tie stuff down. Devastating with soul swap. A
Aurora (Jeanne-Marie Beaubier) (200 points) MARVEL The twins can do some nasty stuff in Fan4 and ProfX builds. A-
Avalanche (Dominikos Petrakis) (145 points) MARVEL There are more efficient Mutant synergies out there, but this works too. B-
Awesome Android (250 points) MARVEL A bit overshadowed by other Android options for Mad Thinker, but still not bad. B-
Azrael (Jean-Paul Valley) (170 points) DC Nothing amazing but a nice piece, particularly when he's playing Assassin. B

B

Spoiler Alert!

Bad Cops (55 points) DC Really nice when they can get their shakedown going, but that's not often. C
Balder (Balder Odinson) (420 points) MARVEL Beefy stats, hard to kill, and an "X" power that can really muck up some opposing armies. A-
Bane (190 points) DC Tactician remains a great power. A-
Banshee (Sean Cassidy) (160 points) MARVEL Big area attack power that is useful for both Mutant and Agent builds. A-
Baron Von Strucker (Wolfgang Von Strucker) (210 points) MARVEL The worst of the Hydra leaders, but still viable in that build. C
Baron Zemo (Heinrich Zemo) (170 points) MARVEL You can build just about any kind of army. Likes pod builds a lot. Possibly 2nd best X OM power in the game A-
Baron Zemo (Helmut Zemo) (200 points) MARVEL There are better things to do with your X OM. Can help with a key initiative but usually not worth the points. C+
Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) (130 points) DC Free movement is pretty good if you have Vigilantes around. B-
Batman (Bruce Wayne) (200 points) DC The later version pretty much does everything better. B-
Batman (Bruce Wayne) (II) (250 points) DC Solid, and gets better as more utility glyphs come into play. B
Batman (Dick Grayson) (170 points) DC A counter to many of the most annoying powers in the game. B+
Batman (Jean-Paul Valley) (220 points) DC System Psychosis can be turned into a strength instead of a weakness. A lot of fun tools. B
Batman (Terry McGinnis) (150 points) DC Decent survivability but little else worth drafting. C+
Batroc The Leaper (Georges Batroc) (130 points) MARVEL Some decent tricks for the price. Probably works best in a Mercenary build to allow him to engage quicker. B-
Beast (Hank McCoy) (170 points) MARVEL Negotiation is solid but whirlwind assault falls short of the multiattack abilities his fellow Mutants possess. B-
Beast Boy (Gar Logan) (60 points) DC Gar has lots of tricks, but none of them quite rival his ability to waste Order Markers. C
Beast Boy (Gar Logan) (Bear) (20 points) DC Gar's worst form. D
Beast Boy (Gar Logan) (Cheetah) (20 points) DC Cheetah is decent filler in a non-Beast Boy build. B
Beast Boy (Gar Logan) (Pterodactyl) (40 points) DC Carry is never bad. A-
Beast Boy (Gar Logan) (T-Rex) (60 points) DC Chomp Chomp. B
Beta Ray Bill (420 points) MARVEL A little tricky to use, but if you pull Back-to-Back off that's a lot of dice. B+
Beyonder (2500 points) MARVEL At the end of the day Beyonder just doesn't have the efficiency to stack up against 2500 points worth of strong stuff. B-
Billy Batson (60 points) DC Not as handy as Banner is to the Hulk. C
Bishop (Lucas Bishop) (170 points) MARVEL Being able to show up where you need him, when you need him makes Bishop worth his value. A-
Bizarro (Kent Clark) (310 points) DC Being forced to deal with Bizarro can be a huge headache. A+
Black Adam (Theo Adam) (380 points) DC Combo's nicely with Captain America, plus a nice power set and beefy stats. A-
Black Alice (Lori Zechlin) (190 points) DC Jack of several trades. Hellfire is probably the strongest marker. B-
Black Canary (Dinah Lance) (190 points) DC Efficient combo with Green Arrow that gets even crazier with attack boosts. A-
Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) (135 points) MARVEL Solid glyph stealer just not as solid as Vulture or Shadow Thief. B
Black King (Sebastian Shaw) (220 points) MARVEL A decent mutant by himself, and those investment markers can make for one mighty big hit. A-
Black Knight (Dane Whitman) (150 points) MARVEL Solid stats but really more of a filler counterdraft to a Magical Defense army. B-
Black Lantern (Uncommon) (175 points) DC Still a bit of a mystery as to their value, the black lanterns have the potential to steamroll an opponent, or just die without doing much. B
Black Lantern (William Hand) (475 points) DC Still a bit of a mystery as to his value, the black lanterns have the potential to steamroll an opponent, or just die without doing much. B
Black Mask (Roman Sionis) (100 points) DC Adjacency requirement for a boost and hurting your own figures really hurts. D
Black Panther (T'Challa) (200 points) MARVEL On a shadow map he is great. On a different map, he is still very solid. B+
Black Tarantula (Carlos Lamuerto (300 points) MARVEL A nice addition to a build with The Hood. B+
Black Widow (Natalia Romanova) (170 points) MARVEL Solid ranged player to an Agent build. Just overshadowed by Hawkeye. B
Blade (Eric Brooks) (230 points) MARVEL Nice counter to undead/lycanthropes, and decent in Enchantress or Star-Lord builds aside from that. B-
Blink (Clarice Ferguson) (145 points) MARVEL A great pod-buster, and has all the tasty mutant synergies. A
Blob (Fred Dukes) (165 points) MARVEL If you don't have autowounds or special attacks, have fun killing the fat man. A
Blood Demons (160 points) DC At 50+ points a pop, they don't offer much but the satisfaction of maybe hurting whoever killed you. C-
Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) (160 points) DC The ability to appear out of nowhere and launch a big attack whenever you want is pretty huge. A
Blue Lantern (Bro'Dee Walker) (280 points) DC Solid powers and pretty nice in a Green Lantern build. Be interesting to see how the other Blue Lanterns work. B+
Bob, Agent of HYDRA (25 points) MARVEL Cheap autowound potential in a Deadpool army. A-
Bodyguard (15 points) DC These are basically the mooks you see get killed in most action movies before the hero gets to the bad guy. B
Boomerang (Frederick Myers) (130 points) MARVEL It's not that he does nothing but what he does do sure feels like it. C
Booster Gold (Michael Carter) (290 points) DC Temporal Defense, Champion, solid stats, and a good SA is a nice package. B+
Bouncing Boy (Charles Taine) (170 points) DC Decent special but there are better Legionnaire options. B-
Brainiac (Vril Dox) (800 points) DC Does best against armies that rely on adjacency. B-
Brainiac 13 (750 points) DC Fantastic against androids but a bit pricey outside that matchup. C
Brainiac 5 (Querl Dox) (130 points) DC d20 boosts FTW. A
Brides of Dracula (110 points) MARVEL A little tricky to get Blood Calling working, but still a decent add to a Dracula build. B+
Brit (240 points) IMAGE Without Crash Landing, he's probably a B or B-. C+
Brother Voodoo (Jericho Drumm) (210 points) MARVEL A bit fragile for the cost but Spirit Possession can be brutal. B
Bruce Banner (70 points) MARVEL Nice healing boost for the Hulk; usually worth having around. B+
Bucky (James Barnes) (60 points) MARVEL Inexpensive and fairly effective sidekick for some good figures. A-
Buffy Summers (210 points) DARK HORSE You're better off using Blade as a counter to Undead/Lycanthropes but Buffy isn't a slouch. B-
Bulldozer (Henry Camp) (190 points) MARVEL Charging Headbutt can kill things very quickly. B+
Bullseye (Lester ???)(175 points) MARVEL He kills things pretty effectively. Nothing too flashy. B

C

Spoiler Alert!

Cable (Nate Summers) (275 points) MARVEL 2 attacks of 6 at range is scary. He also bonds and can get boosted by Sage. A
Captain America (220 points) MARVEL Tactician is good. A-
Captain America (Steve Rogers) (240 points) MARVEL OM management with Cap can be a headache, but the stat boosts are pretty nice. A-
Captain Boomerang (George "Digger" Harkness) (90 points) DC Gravity Boomerang and a chance to autowound figures you didn't even attack are solid for 90 points. B-
Captain Cold (Leonard Snart) (90 points) DC Very few figures like walking through heavy snow and slippery ice. Use him as a roadblock. B+
Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) (360 points) DC The original OM flexibility guy, and a pretty nice beatstick too. B+
Captain Marvel (Genis-Vell) (360 points) MARVEL Cosmic Madness is a serious drawback to an otherwise very strong figure. C
Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) (400 points) MARVEL A big hitter with a nasty defensive power. B+
Carnage (Cletus Kasady) (280 points) MARVEL The nastiest big hitter of the insane faction. B+
Catgirl (Carrie Kelly) (60 points) DC She's not the best sidekick but the Batarang Cannon can come in handy. B
Catman (Thomas Blake) (170 points) DC Pretty solid Outlaw commander. B+
Catwoman (Selina Kyle) (145 points) DC She could last a long time but she's really not going to do much while she's around. C+
Cecil Stedman (180 points) IMAGE Not awful but someone does pretty much everything he does better. B
Chameleon (Dmitri Kravinoff) (100 points) MARVEL Solid for dropping a commander type figure out of play but might not get many uses. B+
Chameleon Boy (Reep Daggle) (190 points) DC Trying to get his Science Police benefits is usually more trouble than its worth. C
Chronos (David Clinton) (75 points) DC Cheapest figure movement you can get in the game. A-
Civilians (45 points) MARVEL Like rats without scatter combined with zombies without rise again C
Clayface (Basil Karlo) (240 points) DC Potentially quite effective, but tough to use his tricks. B
Cloak (Tyrone Johnson) (195 points) MARVEL Darkforce Dimension is nice but needs Dagger in the army and she's not exactly durable. C+
Code: Blue Officer (70 points) MARVEL Figure movement is nice, but they'd probably be better in regular Scape than C3G. B-
Colossal Boy (Gim Allon) (175 points) DC Better survivability than you think and solid flexible attack. B
Colossus (Piotr Rasputin) (260 points) MARVEL Fastball Special might pair better with X-23 than Wolverine. B+
Comedian (Edward Blake) (160 points) DC Efficient offense for the points. Play with Dick Grayson to avoid the negative power. B
Commander Rogers (Steve Rodgers) (250 points) MARVEL Great OM management, and a strong cleanup figure. A
Commissioner Gordon (James Gordon)(90 points) DC Usually your OMs on Gordon are better placed on the Vigilantes or Lawmen. C+
Conan (200 points) DARK HORSE It might not be a terrible idea to wound him with your own dudes before you get him into battle. B-
Cosmic Boy (Rokk Krinn) (260 points) DC The glue of the Legionnaire faction. One of the few movement powers that doesn't care how big you are. A-
Count Vertigo (Werner Vertigo) (160 points) DC Not quite as dominant as other cheerleaders, but disrupting special attacks and range is a neat little metagamey trick. B+
Creeper (Jack Ryder) (125 points) DC Progressive Psychosis is not that bad. Single attack of 3 is. D
Crime Alley Crooks (65 points) DC Nice heroes to bond with, but the crooks themselves offer little. B-
Crimson Dynamo (Gennady Gavrilov) (150 points) MARVEL A very affordable package of special attacks. B
Cyborg (Vic Stone) (200 points) DC Nice in a Titan build although he can steal that X away from Nightwing. Range 7 Attack 5 is not to be underestimated. B
Cyborg Superman (Hank Henshaw) (380 points) DC Mostly good for his stats and healing, but those are nice stats. B+
Cyclops (Scott Summers) (190 points) MARVEL Sage lite but also with a really good special. B+

D

Spoiler Alert!

Dagger (Tandy Bowen) (105 points) MARVEL Special attack is good against figures with lots of dice or powers that rely on their defense dice. Everything else is meh. B-
Daredevil (Matt Murdock) (180 points) MARVEL Solid but not great. Might die sooner than you think. B-
Dark Phoenix (Jean Grey) (490 points) MARVEL End of the Phoenix chain. Burn everything. A
Darkseid (Uxas) (380 points) DC Great stats, and his special gets around lots of annoying powers. A-

Deadpool (Wade Wilson) (285 points) MARVEL Great synergy with Apoc, Enchantress, or any mutant leader, and good on his own too. A
Deadshot (Floyd Lawton) (150 points) DC Lends range to an outlaw build. B+
Deathlok (Michael Collins) (255 points) MARVEL Mostly a counter-draft to androids. C+
Deathstroke (Slade Wilson) (280 points) DC Benefits from defensive boosts, but doesn't have the same synergies as his Marvel counterpart Deadpool. B
Destiny (Irene Adler) (55 points) MARVEL The Magneto II/Destiny combo can elevate some Mutants to insane levels of d20-based madness. A-
Destroyer Armor (460 points) MARVEL A very solid beatstick that will take a while to bring down. B+
Diablo (Esteban De Ablo) (140 points) MARVEL Sleep Potion can be annoying to work around and he should live long enough to make it worth it. B-
Diamondback (Rachel Leighton) (160 points) MARVEL Has flexibility and that's about it. C+
Doctor Doom (245 points) MARVEL Hasbro Doom just doesn't really live up. C
Doctor Doom (Victor Von Doom) (375 points) MARVEL Doctor Doom builds don't tend to dominate, but he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve for sure. B+
Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson) (290 points) DC Magical Defense is always nice but Doctor Fate is outclassed by other magical options. C+
Doctor Light (Arthur Light) (190 points) DC If your opponent has range that doesn't out-range the blinding light, Doctor Light is game-altering. A-
Doctor Manhattan (Jon Osterman) (470 points) DC The only unrestricted OM manipulator in the game, and a strong heavy hitter in his own right. A-
Doctor Octopus (Otto Octavius) (215 points) MARVEL Blob is still the king of tie-down figures, but Doc Ock combines that with the potential for a big offensive punch. B+
Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange) (300 points) MARVEL A hard counter to other Magical Defense armies (particularly Enchantress) and not bad aside from that. B
Donald Ferguson (160 points) IMAGE Decent Agent but many better options exist. B-
Doombot (95 points) MARVEL An expensive insurance policy for Doom, but generally worth it. B
Doomsday (390 points) DC Evolutionary regeneration is a pretty bad power, which leaves Doomsday overpiced. C-
Dracula (Vlad Tepes Dracula) (490 points) MARVEL Vampirism is not extremely reliable but coming back from the dead is never bad. B+
Dragon Man (320 points) MARVEL A reliable big bruiser for Mad Thinker builds. Also solid with Frankenstein. A-
Drax (Arthur Douglas) (350 points) MARVEL A counter to builds that rely on an OM hub that takes turns. B+
Dum Dum Dugan (Timothy Dugan) (90 points) MARVEL A handy cheerleader/backup hero in Agent builds. B+

E

Spoiler Alert!

Echo (Maya Lopez) (130 points) MARVEL She feels like she should be a lot more useful than she is. B-
Electro (Maxwell Dillon) (135 points) MARVEL Pairs well with figure movers. Hot Electric Skin can take out a lot. B
Elektra (Elektra Natchios) (170 points) MARVEL Has gotten better with Masahiro out but still needs a bit more oomph to keep up with the other assassins. B-
Elite League Assassins (150 points) DC In a game with this many autowounds, Vanish is only so helpful. C
Emma Frost (170 points) MARVEL Some decent tricks but you really don't want her unless you need to make sure everyone has clear sight. B-
Enchantress (Amora) (380 points) MARVEL So many figures love getting Enchantress's bonus and Soul Swap can be devastating. A+
Energizer (Katie Power) (50 points) MARVEL Solid ranged special for 50 points. Probably needs other Kymellians to play well. B+
Eradicator (280 points) DC Very nice Kryptonian Synergy, especially when played with Business Suit Lex. A-
Etrigan (320 points) DC Doesn't do much outside of nice stats but a special that targets a space gets around several powers. B-
Executioner (Skurge) (370 points) MARVEL Big figures are gonna die and he's got a nice if slightly unreliable way to shuttle himself and someone across the battlefield. B+

Firebrand (Gary Gilbert) (240 points) MARVEL Solid stats and a solid special. B
Firefly (Garfield Lynns) (120 points) DC Nice cheap way to inflict autowounds and the special is nice. A solid addition to Insane builds. B+
Firestar (Angelica Jones) (120 points) MARVEL Solid synergies and the Microwave can really get cooking. B
Flash (Barry Allen) (250 points) DC Strong special attack, and speed dodge gets strong if you have defensive bonuses. B+
Flash (John Fox) (220 points) DC Lots of cool tricks but you'll need Temporal Defense to keep him alive. B+
Flash (Wally West) (280 points) DC Holy autowounds, Batman A
Floronic Man (Jason Woodrue) (135 points) DC Inexpensive way to deliver autowounds. Floronic + Harley will spice up any build. A-
Forge (Jonathan Silvercloud) (170 points) MARVEL Loves to work with Apoc or other E-glyph holders. A
Frankenstein (Frankenstein's Monster) (320 points) DC The center of the creature synergy web goes down a little too fast at times, but that build packs quite a punch. B+
Frost Giant (220 points) MARVEL Cheap for the stats, freeze touch is nice, and the Laufey build can bring a lot of pain. A-

G

Spoiler Alert!

Galactus (1600 points) MARVEL If you can actually dismantle the map completely, Galactus is crazy good. Otherwise he's a bit overpriced. B-
Gambit (Remy Lebeau) (210 points) MARVEL Five Card Draw can be awful disappointing at times which can make the price tag hard to swallow. B-
Gamora (310 points) MARVEL Gives Assassin builds a nice heavy hitter. B
General Zod (Dru-Zod) (380 points) DC Lex Luthor is the real leader of the Kryptonians. C-
Gentleman Ghost (Jim Craddock) (165 points) DC Just when you think you've killed him, he's back again. A
Ghost (170 points) MARVEL Nice set of powers if you're facing Androids or Cyborgs. Kind of useless otherwise C+
Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze) (380 points) MARVEL Solid stats and an autokill are a nice combo. B+
Giant-Man (Hank Pym) (180 points) MARVEL Giant Swat can add figure movement to some builds. Good stats otherwise. B
Gorgon (Tomi Shishido) (300 points) MARVEL Godslayer is a great counter to big hitters. B+

Gorilla-Man (160 points) MARVEL Solid Agent powers and it's kind of funny to see him back in the game after he dies. B+

Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) (230 points) MARVEL The double attack with one of them being a special attack is pretty nice. B
Green Lantern (Guy Gardner)(320 points) DC Willful Overextend can kill something awful fast. He dies very quickly though when using it. B
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) (350 points) DC Jordan's ability to take extra turns can really turn the tide at a key moment. B+
Green Lantern (John Stewart)(340 points) DC Brings defense and movement to many pod builds. A
Green Lantern (Kilowog) (310 points) DC A must in any officer build. B+
Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner)(300 points) DC Weakest Green Lantern because constructs aren't that good and the best ones are redundant with him. B-
Grey Gargoyle (Paul Pierre Duval) (200 points) MARVEL You'll rarely use all the Stone Markers but stopping someone in their tracks can be nice but killing is preferred to impeding. B
Groot (275 points) MARVEL Carry is always good, and Groot isn't a bad heavy hitter either. B+
Gypsy (Cindy Reynolds) (180 points) DC Annoyingly hard to kill, and combos well with OM-moving or OM-removing powers. B+

H

Spoiler Alert!

Hawkeye (Clint Barton) (150 points) MARVEL A nice set of attack options for an Agent build. B+

Hawkman (Katar Hol) (225 points) DC Might be tempting to wound Hawkgirl yourself for constant double attack. B
Hawkmen of Thanagar (100 points) DC Very tricky Order Markers but if timed right can allow Hawkman and Hawkgirl to get in some devastating attacks. C
Heat Wave (Mick Rory) (110 points) DC Nice special for the points but everything else is average. B
Heimdall (390 points) MARVEL Initiative bonus allows for many strong combos, and the stats make for a nice cleanup figure who can beam himself into the fray. A-
Hellboy (Anung Un Rama) (360 points) DARK HORSE Decent counter to magical defense figures. Really just a big bruiser for the most part. B
Hellcat (Patsy Walker) (75 points) MARVEL Cheap adventurer. You're ususally better off with two Kymellians. C+
Hercules (360 points) MARVEL He can usually kill whatever he uses Test of Might on. Best to use on your opponent's lynchpin. B+
Hired Guns (130 points) MARVEL The Hired Guns are a great boost to any build that has a Crime Lord or Mastermind, or even Kingpin. A-

Iron Man (Mark II) (Tony Stark) (150 points) MARVEL One of the most point-efficient figure movers in the game, and with a nice special to boot. A-

Iron Man (Mark IV) (Tony Stark) (250 points) MARVEL Two nice specials. B+
Iron Man (Mark V) (Tony Stark) (280 points) MARVEL If you can keep Mark 5 around long enough, the Iron Man build can play quite well. B+

Jade (Jennifer-Lynn Haden) (240 points) DC Not a terrible throw in to a Green Lantern build but not a great one either. B

Jocasta (180 points) MARVEL Devastating defensive power. A+
Joker (???) (190 points) DC Reorganized chaos can be one of the most frustrating things in the world. Paired with Robot or Heimdall, he's a nightmare. A
Joker (???) (II) (140 points) DC Toxin can be annoying and he takes a lot longer to kill than he feels like he should. B
Joker Goons (120 points) DC Kind of like Doombots for Joker. Outside of that they're not particularly useful. B

Jubilee (Jubilation Lee) (60 points) MARVEL Cheap cost means she pretty much fits into any mutant build. B+

King Shark (Nanaue) (220 points) DC Feeding Frenzy can get a bit scary. B+
Kingpin (220 points) MARVEL A bit overpriced for what he does, but putting Kingpin up front to absorb punishment for his bonding units can work well. B-
Kirigi (175 points) MARVEL A neat set of synergies and nice autowound power. B+
Knockout (Kay Fury) (290 points) DC She can take out figures above her point cost but probably won't last too long to sustained fire so pick Smitten carefully. B+
