Hey Spidey, after reading up on Wonder Man on Wiki, I feel that you have pretty much nailed many of his powers in his stats, mainly Thor's strength of Attack of 8. Good job.

What do you think about making just one defense power though by taking this:

IONIC TOUGHNESS DEFENSE
When Wonder Man defends against a normal attack if he rolls at least one shield, the most wounds he can receive from that attack is one.

IONIC IMBALANCE
Whenever Wonder Man would take more than one wound from a special attack, you may instead roll a 20-sided die. If you roll a 1-18, place only one Wound Marker on Wonder Man. If you roll a 19 or higher, destroy Wonder Man and give any figures adjacent to Wonder Man an unavoidable wound.

and making it into this:

IONIC IMBALANCE
Whenever Wonder Man would receive one or more wounds from a normal attack or special attack, you may instead roll a 20-sided die. If you roll a 1-18, place one Wound Marker on this card and all figures adjacent to Wonder Man receive one wound. If you roll a 19 or higher, destroy Wonder Man and all figures adjacent to Wonder Man receive two wounds.

I am sure I screwed some theme up somewhere, but I am trying to help consolidate both powers into one interesting power.

Dude, I am all for that. I was just trying to keep the two powers simple and manageable, but what you have proposed definately makes a tiny tweak and makes them into one power. Very nice!
I think with this I would like to see it be a roll of 20. That would make it so it was about the same odds as it was with only Special Attack. I want it to be an occasional detriment, not a power that makes him no fun to play.

[tcglkn]

I was hoping it would only be a 20 to destroy him. Nothing like losing a 300+ point figure in one bad d20 roll.

[Griffin]

I am also ALL ON BOARD with a 20=death roll.

[Griffin]

Now, with just one power in play, is there anything else about the guy you would want to see on the card?

What's wrong with having him a one power unit? I like having those occasionally.

[Griffin]

Nothing wrong with, I just wanted to know if there was anything else that Spidey wanted on the card but couldn't fit it before or if there is also a power not represented that should be. Oh, and for the record, one powered cards are great, but I don't typically expect them or look for them on 300+ units... I usually expect a bit.... more.

He started as a Villain, then changed over. His brainwaves were used to give the Vision a personality before he himself was resurrected. He used his West Coast Avengers membership to become a movie star (sorta like Hulk Hogan) in B-movies and on TV. He dated Wanda, Tigra, and Ms. Marvel from the Avengers and some other b-list celebrities. Powerwise he is like Thor without the control of weather or a hammer. He has been susceptible to other energies because of his own Ionic biology, which has caused him to seemingly die, become pure energy, increased his strength level.

I'm not sure what else Spidey would want here.

[Griffin]

Me either, that's why I asked.

[tcglkn]

I meant he basically said there isn't anything else to add.

A Personality Power is always something that could be considered. I did read that he has a temper.
