MIGHTY MJOLNIR
Instead of moving normally with Thor, you may roll the 20-sided die. Choose up to a number of connecting spaces from Thor equal to your roll. Roll an unblockable attack die against each other figure on a chosen space. If a figure receives a wound, you may place it on an empty space up to 1 space away from its current placement. You may then place Thor on one of the chosen spaces. Figures placed by Mighty Mjolnir do not take any leaving engagement attacks.

DROP THE HAMMER
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Thor, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card to take a turn with up to X other Unique Heroes you control that are Asgardians or Warriors. X equals the amount of revealed numbered Order Markers on this card. You may not take any other additional turns.

INVULNERABLE
Whenever Thor would be destroyed or receives enough wounds to be destroyed in any way except by this special power, he instead receives one wound.

Going for an Asgardian/Warrior leader here. The "X" requirement should chase away some of the more undesired pairings like Enchantress etc. Also limiting to move + attack rather than full turns limits some of the abilities that might normally be too good en mass, given they're mostly heavy hitters. Requiring a risk/reward on when you drop the hammer, something we brainstormed with Ra's II at some point, should make for some nice decision making.

Went for a little lower stats here to balance out Mighty Mjolnir's damage potential each turn, little bit of range, and the longevity offered by Invulnerable. Should all still make him feel like Thor should without it all being dumped on the stats.

[Arch-vile]

He’s definitely a powerhouse, but it looks like a unique, fun design. I agree with the lower stats.

[IAmBatman]

I dig it.

[tcglkn]

Drop the Hammer is sweet.

[Ronin]

I dig it.

Wording might need some massaging on Mighty Mjolnir, around the space-choosing effect, but not an immediate concern.

[Lord Pyre]

Very cool. This should definitely make the asgardians a more viable army without needing Odin. Definitely would love to see a Loki that's an asgardian to work with him.

[Arkham]

Looks like we’re good to move forward. A Loki II to be an option here is on my short list if nobody else gets to him.

I propose a vote to move to Initial Playtesting.

[Arch-vile]

yea

Cool to hear another Loki might be coming!

[Karat]

Yea

Another Loki would be cool. It's on my bucket list, but not sure where I'd take it or when I'd get to it.
