Re: Villain point totals problem

The bottom line is that the power-levels of these characters are not consistent in the comics, so there is no way it can be translated accurately to Heroscape, or to anything else. There are comics where Iron Man takes on Dr. Doom one-on-one, and in others it takes all of the FF4 to stop him. Sometimes Hulk fights The Thing alone, or Thor alone, and other times it takes the whole Avengers to stop him.

The only way around it that I can think of is through house rules that modify characters by scaling them up when necessary for a specific game or scenario. If you want Magneto to take on all the X-Men alone, you could require 2 wounds to inflict 1 wound of damage against him, for example. Or use a 3:1 ratio, or whatever seems appropriate for the opposing team. Another way is to simply double or triple the Life, as needed. But to maintain compatibility with existing customs and official figures, I wouldn't support actually changing the custom cards.
