POWER PLAY
Once per game, after revealing Order Marker 1 on this card and taking a turn with Green Lantern, you may reveal and remove any number of unrevealed Order Markers from cards in your army. If you do, take a turn with an equal number of other Unique Heroes you control as Order Markers removed in this way, during which they add 1 to their Attack number. You may not take any additional turns with other figures.

SWINGING FOR THE FENCES
If Green Lantern is not adjacent to any friendly figures and is engaged with at least one enemy figure, add 1 + X to his Attack number and subtract 1 + X from his Defense number. X equals the number of Wound Markers on this card.

WILL NOT BACK DOWN
While Green Lantern is engaged with a figure that has a Life number greater than his, the most wounds he can receive from a single attack is one. If Green Lantern destroys a figure with a Life number greater than his, remove 2 Wound Markers from this card.

Thinking of making one tweak here:

POWER PLAY
Once per game, after revealing Order Marker 1 on this card and taking a turn with Green Lantern, you may reveal and remove all unrevealed numbered Order Markers from cards in your army to take a turn with up to 2 friendly Unique Heroes, or 3 if all are named Green Lantern or Green Construct. You may not take any additional turns with other figures.

In general though, feels like he's in a good place.

[Ronin]

Yeah, this looks like a cool spin on Guy.

The Green Construct bit only matters for potential future Green Constructs that aren't so restrictive on how you take turns with them. Currently you can at least take a turn with a Green Construct instead of attacking with Guy (or any other GL whose card you revealed an Order Marker on).

So while I like the Green Construct shout out, I'm not sure if it's worth including in this power with the current state of things unless there are plans to shake that state of things up somehow.

I do like the Green Lantern part of that, though.

[Arkham]

I'm second guessing the Green Lantern part of it actually. I'm hesitant on it as I don't want it to push Green Lantern armies as the priority/focus, when these designs are intended to be them with the Justice League, which usually just features 1 of them.

Also thinking of leaving it as an option how many Order Markers you reveal and remove, which will now include the X, to sort of dictate your own show of force determined by what you feel is necessary in that moment. This will allow you to go up to 3 additional turns, given the X if you decide to give it up.

POWER PLAY
Once per game, after revealing Order Marker 1 on this card and taking a turn with Green Lantern, you may reveal and remove any number of unrevealed Order Markers from cards in your army. Immediately take a turn with up to an equal number of friendly Unique Heroes as Order Markers removed in this way. You may not take any additional turns with other figures.

This would net you the ability to use all 4 Lanterns essentially. I figure it's once per game, front loads all your turns, and you're prevented from taking 3 additional turns with all big heavy hitters based on point limits preventing that in most cases.

I like that. Sort of a Justice League turtle power

[IAmBatman]

That's cool. I think the faction will definitely appreciate that kind of offensive push to help them keep up with some of our stronger factions.

[Arch-vile]

Looks good to me.

[Arkham]

Cool. Then I propose we move to Initial Playtesting.

[IAmBatman]

yea

[Arch-vile]
