So I don't know if this is something that's been decided by consensus or if it's just me, but I've always assumed the original Invaders would tie into the Dauntless personality somehow. (I've definitely brainstormed a Namor that's a Dauntless Defender.) It captures Torch, Nick Fury, and Lady Blackhawk so it seems like a decent base for that "WWII Hero" kind of grouping.

You just can't daunt the Greatest Generation.

They were never daunt to begin with.

I limited the attacks to Dauntless Heroes

[redstang]

NAME = OLD MAN LOGAN
SECRET IDENTITY = JAMES HOWLETT

SPECIES = MUTANT
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = RECLUSE
PERSONALITY = BROODING

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 6

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 2
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 200-250

RELUCTANT CLAWS
When a Unique Archer Hero you control is destroyed, you may place any unrevealed Order Markers from its card on this card. For the rest of the game, when Old Man Logan attacks an opponent's figure, add 1 extra attack die to your roll for each figure you control that has been destroyed or has at least 1 wound marker on its card, to a maximum of +5.

SHIELD GUILLOTINE
Once per game, instead of attacking normally, choose an adjacent small or medium figure and roll "X" number of combat dice, where X equals the number of Attack dice Old Man Logan could have rolled. For each Shield rolled, the chosen figure receives 1 wound.

SLOWED HEALING FACTOR
At the beginning of the round you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card. At the end of the round, if a revealed "X" Order Marker is still on this card, remove one wound marker from this card.

Reluctant Claws is a great power title.

I think the power is a tad restrictive right now and really almost forces you to run him with all Archers to try to max his value. I'm not sure if that's the intent?

I think I'd consider going one of two ways with it: 1. Just make it trigger on any Unique Hero being destroyed or 2. Change the second line to be for the rest of the game, so that once his claws are out, they're out (this seems thematic to me).

I think I'd cut the last line of Reluctant Claws. His tiny attack of 3 is enough of a disincentive for him to attack and "cannot attack" stuff is just rife for exploitation and cheese.

Now I could see somehow restricting the Decapitating Blow, because it does feel a bit odd that he's reluctant to take out his claws, but just fine removing some dude's head.

Maybe put his attack down to 2 and make Decapitating Blow X unblockables where X is the number of Attack Dice he'd roll? Could even cap it as some number if that sounds too scary (up to 5, etc.).

I really dig the Slowed Healing Factor.

I understand trying to tie Slowed Healing Factor back to Healing Factor X, but right now it's just an overly complicated Healing:

HEALING
At the end of the round, remove 1 Wound Marker from this card.

Decapitating Blow is neat, but I am not sure why it has to be so many dice but only counts shields, I'd probably just go with 3 dice and count skulls as normal.

Theme wise, wanted to tie it to Cap's Shield that he uses during the fight with Red Skull, so thought it would be a fun call out to use only Shields.

[tcglkn]

I don't think that theme comes across at all unless you explain it right now then.

[IAmBatman]

Maybe call it SHIELD DECAPITATION?

All good points. Looks like some tuning is in order!

[IAmBatman]

This is the way!
