_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - As a member of the Military Guild of Krypton, these soldiers were responsible for the protection of the entire planet against alien attacks. The last thing Krypton expected was a civil war that would divide its military strength. The rebellion was led by General Zod, and his well trained soldiers were willing to die for the cause of a greater Krypton. Now released from the bottled city of Kandor, many Kryptonians have decided to live peaceful and secretive lives, but these die hard soldiers are still committed to the cause of preserving Kryptonian culture and seeing its flag rise up in glory and honor once more.

That was the best I could do on the comic art. I think getting rid of the S Shield is easy enough, then change the hair to blond if possible.

What types of figures are there other than "squad or hero" figures?

[Griffin]

Vehicles. I stole that part of the text from everyone's new favorite line on Emma Frost's card. I was going for consistency.

I did have:

HORO-KANU COMBAT
When this Kryptonian Soldier attacks a figure that is not a destructible object with a normal attack and a blank is rolled, you may choose for the defending figure to ignore this attack and instead receive one wound.

[IAmBatman]

I think it works well as is.

Interesting power sets! The "you may choose to have that figure ignore" line reads a little strange, but I think it's clear and I don't have anything better.

Seems a little odd that one could completely whiff an attack, and the defending figure still receives a wound.

Well, Horo-Kanu is a Kryptonian fighting style that feigns attacks for a surgical nerve strike instead. The nerve strikes wear an opponent down little by little, but it is supposedly "unblockable".

[SirGalahad]

Fair enough.
