I agree. You have my support. Probably should ask the other Heroes here, though.

A vote in this thread would be a good idea. I support it.

I propose a vote to use the same mini as the first Martian Manhunter design.

I'll tell you what I do know - he's at a price where you can fit him in thematic builds that are fun over 1,500, he helps put together thematic faction members, which I like, and he doesn't feel overpowered at all, even in his 2,000+ sweet spot. He felt really good to me, and I like the theme.

If the competitive guys can't find anything broken we need to worry about, I like him as is.

A day late and a dollar short, but I'm not concerned. Trollbrute was actually the only one to really follow my suggested power builds, but nothing too worrying happened in those tests. In a perfect world there would have been a couple more tests along those lines but I don't expect we'd have seen anything glaring.

? I ran MMII + Thor + BRB in my initial as well as a game with MMII + Nite-Owl + Punisher (Vigilante) + Black Canary (Vigilante) + Echo (Vigilante) + Robin (Sidekick) + Green Arrow (BC Sidekick).

Ah, I did miss that vigilante game, which fits the bill. I do think we can probably safely rule that out as a potential problem build, at least until more JL marker designs come along to support it. Grubbing for a ton of markers that way just isn't all that profitable.

The Thor+BRB game qualifies on some level, but with so many other heroes in play there I don't think it really tests that particular concept all that much. BRB's semi-bonding with Thor is a relatively insignificant slice of what's happening in a 2400 point game. Even TB throwing Punsher and Nite-Owl in a 1600 point game is diluting it somewhat, but I appreciate that he's just trying to get enough markers to make it through the game. All of that said, I don't think that build is a problem either, at least without more supporting marker figures.

[IAmBatman]

yea

[SirGalahad]

yea to figure re-use
yea to editing

[Viegon]

Did we put out a call to see if anybody has any of the other Martian Manhunter miniatures (like the one from the Cosmic Justice set)? If we can't get any other pics then I'm fine falling back on reusing a miniature, but if we can get pics I'd much rather not break the precedent we've been following for 600+ designs.

Also, do we have pictures of the mini used for the first one? I don't want to use that one if it doesn't actually speed things up. I'm not against it totally though, so yea if there are no other viable options.

[IAmBatman]

I'm confident we can get one of the other figure pretty quickly if need be. I'll take them myself if no better qualified photographer steps up.

[TrollBrute]

I do think we're best served by putting out a general call for pictures of any Martian Manhunter figure and seeing if anyone chimes in within 2-3 days.
