Re: Book of Morbius - Design Phase

Still am not a fan of this:

VAMPIRE MESMERISM
When rolling defense dice against an adjacent attack, if Morbius rolls at least 1 blank, ignore that attack and you may choose one figure adjacent to the attacking figure. The chosen figure receives one unblockable hit from the attacking figure.

I feel like this is neither Iconic nor a good power to have. While the mechanics of it are fine. This does not feel like a good representation of Morbius' Mesmerisation powers IMHO. He does not use this power, in the comics of him I own, to make someone take a hit for him, but rather to make them forget they ever saw him, or to rationalize it in a manner so that they will not ever repeat that which they have seen.

Also, I foresee this power as getting overlooked most of the time much like Superman's Heroic Duty, or Deadpool's Wisecrack, and overall just seems like an effort to put 4 powers on a card which I feel is great and thematic without it.
