I mean, it is a cop-out, but if you can think of something better for Anti-Monitor I'd love to hear it.

Comic books have a lot of weird, complicated characters that don't fit into other boxes. Entity is just a more flowery way of saying "other" or "etcetera" or "unknown."

Sounds like Nehphilim to me.

I like Demigoddess or Entity.

Entity seems to = being of great and mysterious supernatural power. We have Anti-Monitor, Beyonder, Kool-Aid Man, Uncle Sam, non-relative Sam, Doctor Manhattan, Dark Phoenix, and Spectre.

A lot of those are a physical form possessed or altered by some supernatural or superscientific essence, such as with Uncle Sam (spirit of patriotism), Manhattan (weird science), Dark Phoenix (Phoenix using a host), Spectre (some aspect of God), and Kool-Aid Man (the beverage is possessed by a living spirit, clearly). Anti-Monitor and Beyonder are less clear, but they're reality warping beings that can change their physical manifestation, which seems consistent.

Don't know much about plain Sam.

Oh, now that's an interesting option...

She doesn’t technically fit that description, plus I don’t think word has ever been uttered in the comic, so I’d prefer one of the other options.

[MrNobody]

Clarification question; When Defiant Fury says next turn, does it mean your next turn or LD's next turn? So if next turn comes around and I can't take a turn with her, do I just waste the boost?

Not going to lie, either way a marker might be worth it.

[Lord Pyre]

You as a player next turn, so if you don’t use her you lose it. She really likes to hog Order Markers (or turns, but especially OM’s).

[Yodaking]

Pretty sure the intent is LD's next turn. Agree that it could be spelled out. Also though about using a marker to track it, since she might get surprise hit with on OM1 with no OM's on her card to respond until the next round. Also if she gets him multiple times (bonding heroes or squad), might need to track multiple figures she can get a att. boost vs.


*edit* I was wrong. Well that makes it easier to remember then.

[Lord Pyre]

Does the “next player turn” wording not make it clear? Not really sure how to make it more clear (we have multiple pages of trying to word this haha!)

Squads are the only thing that might be annoying to track, but then she’d have to be wounded by multiple and you forget by your next turn.

[MrNobody]

It doesn’t say next player turn though.
