I think there's a gray werewolf in the Amazing Spider-Man Heroclix set that might be close enough to white.

Yea I have two of those. I'm thinking ill paint one as Capwolf and the use the other as WW.

That warms my heart Lobs.

Pretty much any werewolf would work, painted white. If you can find one with shorts, that would be ideal.

I posted another lycanthrope, Judge Prager, recently. He is still rather ruff around the edges.

Hmm. I'm only a little familiar with Griffin since I usually only see him pop up as a line-up filler or a side-quest kinda deal (like the way he shows up in EMH). I think the adaptation power would read a little more smoothly if it worked the other way around; put low stats on the card and have him gain markers that add to his stats.

EDIT: Also, I think straight Whirlwind Attack and Tail Whip gives him a lot of offensive utility, especially with good stats and Criminal synergies, so I'm not sure I'd go in for the shield subtraction.

I was going to go that route with his adaptation, but I thought it was a bit too "Doomsday". I think that this way feels a bit more like going super-saiyan. You're probably right on the defense subtraction though.

The figure used is Nitro #025 Marvel Chaos War Marvel Heroclix
Name = Nitro
Secret Identity = Robert Hunter
Species = Mutate
Uniqueness = Unique Hero
Class = Assassin
Personality = Destructive

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 200?

Mutant Growth Hormones
Before rolling initiative each round, you may place an Orange Explosion Marker on this card. Before taking a turn with Nitro, once per round, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card and place another Orange Explosion Marker on this card. Nitro may never have more than 3 Orange Explosion Markers on his card at one time.

Explosion Special Attack
Range Special. Attack 2+(3+?) Special.
Nitro may only use Explosion Special Attack when there is at least 1 Explosion Marker on this card. All figures within “X” spaces of Nitro are affected by this Special Attack, where “X” is equal to the number of Explosion Markers on this card. Add 1 to the Attack for each Explosion Marker on this card. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Affected figures roll defense separately. After using Explosion Special Attack remove all Explosion Markers from this card.

Reconstitute
If there are no Explosion Markers on this card, Nitro may not take any turns and cannot be targeted by opponents' non-adjacent figures for any attacks or special powers that require clear sight.

Bio

Is this the most recent version? Would love to see him get done someday.

I'm not sure how to elegantly word it but I had an idea long ago for a spreading explosion like attack. Basically it boiled down to Roll X dice for all figures adacent (aka on space)...and then you take all the skulls and re-roll them for the figures adjacent to them (aka 2 spaces away) etc..

Well since voting happened I guess now would be a good time to go back and revisit this...I still think he'd be fun to play and I like Spidey's comments to tame him a bit.

I'd be willing to do one of those nerfs or the other. With the symbiote weakness stacking on top of the normal subtraction, a single symbiote and any old squad of cannon fodder could destroy this guy. I'd be okay with that if he had the ability to be an effective glass cannon when cornered, but if he only gets a +1, no thank you!

Edit: And I would want to lower the symbiote penalty, since the way you have it would require him to roll a 20 if he wanted to hit his senses roll while surrounded by 5 goons and 1 symbiote.

I'm fine with reducing the symbiote penalty but if you let yourself get surrounded by 6 figures...well, that's more of a you issue than a weakness of design.

As for one or both of the nerfs...that's why I brought it up so it can be discussed and workshopped...

That mechanic does sound like a lot of fun, I think I do like what is here for Nitro though. I've played him in a game with friends and I had a blast (pun intended) even though I blew up 4 of my hired guns.
I could see removing the XOM mechanic, however, to minimize text. I kinda like waiting to get in the biggest explosion possible.

I’d suggest the first tweak over the second, @laughing matter

Which one exactly? Use the Superior Senses tweak and not the Superiority Complex tweak?
