NAME = Jack-Jack Parr

SPECIES = Superhuman
UNIQUENESS = Unique Hero
CLASS = Trickster
PERSONALITY = Enthusiastic

SIZE/HEIGHT = Small 2

LIFE = 2

MOVE = 3
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 2
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 15

BABYSITTING DUTY
At the start of the game, choose a Unique Superhuman Hero you control to be Jack-Jack’s Babysitter. For the rest of the game, if his Babysitter is not within 3 clear sight spaces of him, subtract 2 from his Babysitter's Defense number. Before taking a turn with his Babysitter, take a turn with Jack-Jack. After moving with his Babysitter, if he was adjacent to his Babysitter at any point before or during his Babysitter's movement, you may place Jack-Jack on any unoccupied space adjacent to his Babysitter. Jack-Jack is never attacked when leaving engagements.

SUPER BABY
Before taking a turn with Jack-Jack, roll the 20-sided die. For this turn, if you roll:
• 3-5, add 4 to his Range number;
• 6-8, add 1 automatic skull to whatever is rolled when he attacks and he does not have to roll for Molten Lava damage;
• 9-11, instead of moving normally, choose an empty space exactly 5 spaces from Jack-Jack. Place him on the chosen space;
• 12-14, he may attack 2 additional times, and may move up to 3 spaces after each attack;
• 15-17, instead of attacking, roll 1 unblockable attack die against all adjacent figures without the Lava Resistant special power; or
• 18 or higher, when he attacks, all blanks rolled count as unblockable hits on the defending figure.

SUPER BABY
Before taking a turn with Jack-Jack, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll, then this turn:
• 1-4, Laser Vision: add 4 to his Range;
• 5-8, Metal Form: add 1 automatic skull to whatever is rolled when he attacks;
• 9-12, Teleport: instead of moving normally, you must choose an empty space within 6 spaces of Jack-Jack. Place him on the chosen space;
• 13-16, Combustion: instead of attacking, roll 1 unblockable attack die against all adjacent figures without the Lava Resistance special power; or
• 17 or higher, Duplicate: he may attack 2 additional times, he may move after each attack.

CARRIED
Before moving a friendly adjacent figure that is not tiny, if Jack-Jack is not engaged, you may choose that figure for Jack-Jack's Carried special power. After moving the chosen figure, you may place Jack-Jack on any unoccupied space adjacent to the chosen figure.

TOO ADORABLE TO KILL
An opponent's figure cannot target Jack-Jack for an attack or choose him for a special power if it could instead target another figure you control, and may not roll for leaving engagement attacks against Jack-Jack. Cruel, Nihilist, and Sadistic figures are not affected by this special power.

Thinking about this, I think this looks better, Too Cute to Kill also covers the LEA part of Teleport. I dropped the LEA part of carried but if we want to make a new version of the power for this we could do this:
SMALL CARRIED
Before moving a friendly adjacent figure that is not tiny or small, if Jack-Jack is not engaged, you may choose that figure for Jack-Jack's Carried special power. After moving the chosen figure, you may place Jack-Jack on any unoccupied space adjacent to the chosen figure.

I think I like this direction more than the current version in the SP.

Updated with this, going down to two powers I felt there was enough room to add a bullet and make his power even more random (with some space where he does nothing).

Noticed a typo in the SP and on the cards today (the "s" in red should be deleted).

This should be the "Lava Resistant" special power.

My plan for this design is to test him in the 800 point Incredibles build at 25-35 points and then remove those points from the kids and Elastigirl (preferably removing 5 from her so her and Jack-Jack are a pairing) to have him fit in that army. I think there is room in there for this to happen. Let me know know if you have any issues with that.

I also considered dropping the defensive power, giving him TOO CUTE TO KILL and TAG ALONG.

I could see going that angle. Incredibles don't really have bonding, and nothing screams put an Order Marker on me for Jack Jack. The reality is that even with the Defensive Power, if someone is attacking him, he's probably going down regardless of what is rolled.

[tcglkn]

I'd probably make his defense 4 with that change to represent his different defensive forms, but he's still gonna fall easily when it comes to it.

[MrNobody]

Leaving him "at home" is kind of thematic though. I mainly assumed he'd be the kind of unit that just sits in your SZ as a last ditch effort if the rest of your team falls.

I feel like a Jack-Jack that wants to be in the battle with his family might want to be doing more passive stuff, cause I'm not sure taking a turn with him will feel worth it.

[tcglkn]

Right now you kinda want to put OMs on him to trigger Elastigirl, so giving him Too Cute To Kill actually helps keep his cost down.
