Yeah, that sounds better to me too.

Or you can add in the moving of figures with a re-worked Reinforced Rubber Defense (kind of a bounce back thing where the attacking figure is moved?)

[dok]

Should Puck really be able to roll an unblockable attack die on 3 or 4 or 5 figures in one turn? That's really powerful.

weebaer, that Sasquatch is an amazing cleanup figure. I'd be tempted to play the power pack with him... or Beast Boy. I wonder if it should be limited to attacks, like Ghost Rider's power is.

Yeah, but Electra can basically do the same and she is only 170pts.

Well he is designed like that. I really like that he and Wendigo have powers that are quite similar (since they clash several times). I might put a cap like no more than 3-4 turns per OM. That would break it up a bit.

Nope. Aurora's not an Operative. We gave you Outer Sanctum access so you'd know these things, gees.

Here is an idea for a Shaman I have been tossing around, and yes I know I am flying in the face of convention with a magic user the doesn't have Magical Defense. I have my reasons

Spoiler Alert!

Shaman Michael Twoyoungmen
Human
Unique Hero
Shaman
Wise
Medium 5

Life 5
Move 5
Range 6
Attack 4
Defense 4

Blizzard
If a non-adjacent opponent targets Shaman or any adjacent figure you control for a attack you may reveal the "X" Order Marker on this card. After revealing the "X" Order Marker the opponents turn immediately ends. For the remainder of that round Shaman and any friendly adjacent figure may not be targeted by non-adjacent attacks or special powers that require line of sight.

Restricting Vines
If a opponents figure starts their turn on a space or moves onto a space within 3 clear sight spaces of Shaman you may immediately roll the 20-sided die. On a 10 or higher that figures turn immediately ends.

Healing
After taking a turn with Shaman you may remove one wound marker from this card. At the end of each round if you have takin a turn with Shaman that round you may remove one wound marker from any friendly adjacent figure you control.

Cool Shaman darkraptor.

He will need a defender with no Magical Defense, interesting take.

I like the static nature of his powers.
Magical Defense comes with a built in Wong for humans.
Is that why you do not want him to have it or because he is wise, or another reason?
He would be the first design immune to Sorcerer Supreme.

For Puck I could go either way on the wounding power. I liked the idea of him moving figures about a little better and that is why he only wounded figures on a shield roll in my design. I could see even dropping it down to a blank. I think he will function nicely in that role, moving enemies to low ground and (just thought of this)friendlies to high ground. (Hmm I may have to restrict that to enemy figures.)
Anyway that will be up to the preference of the LD and the voters.

I would want to take Sasquatch out first, he will get scary. Fun design.

[weebaer]

I like the auto wound of puck's bounce. Making it a blank would be too low for his fighting skills imo.

I really like magical defense on Shaman, otherwise he will be too much of a lightning rod with that powerful heal.

Here is my Shaman write up, take what you will from it.

Spoiler Alert!

Shaman Michael Twoyoungmen
Human
Unique Hero
Operative
Mystical
Medium 5

Life 5
Move 5
Range 4
Attack 4
Defense 4

Teleport
Instead of moving normally with Shaman, you may choose to use Teleport. Before teleporting, you may choose an adjacent small or medium figure. Place Shaman on any empty space within 4 clear sight spaces of his previous position. After placing Shaman, you may place the chosen figure on any empty space adjacent to Shaman. Figures moved with this special power will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Medicine Pouch
After moving and before attacking, you may choose a wounded friendly figure within 4 clear sight spaces and roll the 20 sided die.
1-9 nothing happens
10-15 remove one wound marker
16-19 remove 2 wound markers
20 or higher remove all wound markers

Magical Defense
When Shaman is attacked by an opponent's figure that does not have the Magical Defense special power, the most wounds Shaman can take for this attack is one.

Here is my Vindicator/Guardian with Balantai's idea of operatives added in.

Spoiler Alert!

Guardian/Vindicator James Hudson (flying symbol)(Super Strength)
Cyborg
Unique Hero
Guardian
Valiant
Medium 5

Life 4
Move 6
Range 1
Attack 5
Defense 6

Lead Operative
After revealing an order marker and taking a turn with a small or medium unique operative hero you control, you may immediately take a turn with any other small or medium unique operative heroe you control within clear sight of Guardian if there is at least one revealed order marker on this card.

Concussive pulse special attack
All figures within 2 spaces of Guardian are affected by Concussive Pulse special attack.
Attack 1. Roll one attack die once for all affected figures. Figures affected can only roll 1 defense die. If a skull is rolled and the defending figure rolls a blank, you may remove one unrevealed order marker from that army card. Concussive pulse special attack may only be used once per round.

Force Field
After rolling defense dice against a normal attack, you may roll the 20 sided die. If you roll a 9 or higher you may choose whether skulls, shields, or blanks will count as shields.

[Tornado]

I do not know the character well enough to make the call.
Would it be themed for him to be Immune to Sorcerer Supreme?
I like defensive power set a little better then the teleport power but it may come down to how the rest of the team works out.

[IAmBatman]

For DR's Shaman, I'd go with something like "Mystic Healing" for the Healing power title. Just "Healing" feels a bit too generic, and doesn't explain how he's able to do it without being anywhere near the ally he heals.

The Blizzard power name is taken.

Restricting Vines seems very similar to Poison Ivy's Entangling Vines. Any reason you didn't just reuse Entangling Vines?

His range seems a tad high. Also, surprised to see he's a Human, not a Mutant! I thought Alpha Flight was mostly Mutant?

I think this means to ease back on the Operative powers.

Not everyone on Alpha flight Have to have the same class.

Only the twins are mutants actually.

Vindicator has a super sophisticated suit more streamlined and less bulky than Iron Man's. He is a human to begin with, then he becomes a cyborg later.

Sasquatch starts almost exactly like his close friend and fellow scientist Bruce Banner except he has his full knowledge and control when in Sasquatch form. (later we learn he is actually a legend called Tanaraq)

Puck is also a Mutate being mutated and torcherd by magic/mystical powers.

Shaman is a human mystic.

Snowbird is a demigoddess

Merrina is part of an alien race known as the Plodex.
