Here's a little insight from a retired Hero: An Interview with Griffin.

Spoiler Alert!

In C3G I like Superman 2 the best. He is the power house that we always wanted and he brings the heat.

What do you like so much about Lex Luthor?

Red K, because it has random effects that are either funny or make Supes evil, which usually means a fight between him and the JLA.

Best is an objective term, but IMO Superman is the best because he is the standard that all others look up to. Heck even Lex idolizes him.

Action and drama blended like peanut butter and chocolate. And I mean the type of action and drama that is only brought on by villainous Kryptonians led by Zod of course. "Kneel before Zod!"

Lex is great. He is the most that a man can be, in terms of science, wealth, power, politics, influence, and yet he is miserable because Superman is more loved. At his core Lex wants people to love him for his greatness. Lex doesn't trust that Superman is so good, because in Lex's experience no one is that innocent.

I have one from the silver age where him and Batman meet and Superman tries to bring the vigilante to justice and Batman makes a Green K Batarang... That was a quick fight, but Superman learned an important lesson: Batman always wins.

Oh yes!

What's your favorite Superman story?

All star superman kept me on track with the idea of a really strong superman. Death Of is great to me still after all these years.

Will there be any new glyphs in this set?

No New Gods yet and no new glyphs yet either.

I have great luck with Heat vision and terrible luck with pulling off superbreath in a way that is beneficial.

Playing Odins Colluseum at my game store and having Tickle there.

Lobo was rumored to be in this wave, and I was able to playtest him, was there any arguments over the names of his abilities? The version I received to test had some, lets say questionable names. Hope ya kept them though as they really help show his theme.
Krypto also rumored to be in this wave, probably not though, but if he is, how much did you want to put a Fetch type ability on his card? Did ya get it on there? I hope so.
Zod is a great bad guy, forcing everyone to bow down before him, how did you go about incorporating that theme into his card?
Cyborg is he a bad guy or a good guy? Destroyer of Star city, yet a replacement for Superman when he died.
Steel is a dude in a non-powered suit, (I think) how did you decide how powerful that suit and his hammer is, compared to say Iron Man?
Who would win in a fight in your opinion between Superman and Batman? Not in Scape, as they are severely different point wise, but more in the comic world? Please give explanations or a scenario if ya want.
More of a personal question, answer only if you want to. How and what have you been doing since retiring from Scapers? Besides all the people what do you miss most?
Young Superman or Superboy, wildly different powers but about same power level (I think) who would win in Scape?
Last question, Superman V2 was my birthday card, So without giving anything away, how awesome is he?

The difficulty was in getting over the fact that they are all super powerful, and I did that by believing two things: 1 they haven't soaked up as much of the sun as Superman, and 2 they aren't all as skilled as each other. That allowed for us to make them at many varrying point costs.

No arguments but we did discuss the need for more humor and "3rd wall breaking" flare.

Krypto doesn't fetch but his synergy with superboy is a lot fun.

Zod leads Kryptonians into combat and he gets a major advantage when he forces people to "kneel".

Cyborg is evil, no doubt there. Steel is not as smart as Ironman and his suit is not as powerful.

Well they have squared off many times over the years and Batman always wins. Brains wins out.

I've been hunting, fishing, and camping a lot with the family, and we have all really enjoyed it. I've also been working hard on clearing our 36 acres to build a house on. Once we have it up and have a garage built I'll invite you all to come camping and we can play games for a weekend.

I miss having the creative outlet.

Young Superman.

Super great!

[Schulzy]

Great questions! I'm pumped for tomorrow! It's nice to be anticipation new 'Scape again ^_^

[Tornado]

Lobo baby. Lobo's back.

Spoiler Alert!

[Smithy Winfred]

With all these new Kryptonians coming out, as well as a remake Supes, it makes me sad to see Thor surpased.

On that note, Knowing that a new Thor wave should be coming in November, will Thor get a remake in his new wave (so far B-man and Supes got a remake in their respective waves), His powers don't fully capture the power of our favorite prince of Thunder. Mijoner is not powerful enough, and God Of Thunder Strike barely ever works so all he basicly is is a heavy hitter.

ps. I have beat Thor with a unwounded Mole Man (in a Dungeon)

[IAmBatman]

I've found Thor's 8/8 stats to be incredible and his strength and tactical flexibility to regularly place him at the top of the heap.

But, even he will get some factional love eventually.

[Porkins]

Unfortunately, I think the Thor wave is not in November. I'm pretty sure the guys said it would be next year. And since Tickle was the one working on that stuff, and now he's not working on that stuff, release is probably moving to the right. At least one card in the Thor wave that I ERB'ed went back to the drawing board (I believe). I expect to see that one again for ERB some day as it has not been to playtesting.

[Schulzy]

I'm curious as to when we're going to get more Lanterns. There are more clix for lanterns of all colors except Yellow! We need Red Lanterns! Blue Lantern Flash! Violet Lantern Atom! Or are those switched? And there are Green Lantern figs that don't have cards yet!

Explanation marks!

[Porkins]

That was sort of a tickle project too, I think.

[IAmBatman]

That was a Tickle/Griff/Bats project. Now it's a Bats/Scapemage project, and it's more "back burner" than it was.

[Arch-vile]

I love the lantern faction, it's one of my favorite C3G factions. Brilliant mechanics. Waiting will make the eventual release all the sweeter, though.

I think Thor is one of the best designs in C3G. 8/8 stats, Mjolnir, Thunder Strike!? Super fun, especially when he's an Avenger with 9/9 stats!
