Unit Summary: Brand felt reasonable as she’s priced. In retrospect, I think I’d have gotten more utility out of her if I’d brought in other bonding agents and let them bond with her recruitments and kept her as backup. This would’ve kept the trick going a bit longer in each game. Better Pyrokinesis rolls could’ve helped her too. As is, she had enough impact to feel balanced where she’s at.

• Damage Done (Normal Attack): Two Wounds on Invisible Woman, two Wounds on Mister Fantastic.
• SWORD RECRUITMENT/AGENT BACKUP: Used early in the game to turn bond with Martian Manhunter while moving the whole army up.
• CONTACT PYROKINESIS: 0 for 3.
• Damage Taken: KOed in Round 3.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Beast with 1/5 Life and Jubilee with 4/4 Life win.
