Character Bio – Disgusted with the Justice League’s ineffectiveness to deal with international incidents after his friend Lucius Fox was kidnapped to Markovia, Batman rejected his League membership and decided to work outside the law. Enlisting Black Lightning, Batman went to Markovia to rescue Lucius and added allies on the way, such as Geo-Force, Katana, Metamorpho, and Halo. The unlikely allies defeated the villainous Baron Bedlam and formed the Outsiders!

ESSENTIAL UTILITIES
At the start of the game, place the Glyphs of Utility: Bat-Grapple and Utility: Bat Shuriken on this card. Batman can equip a Utility Equipment Glyph even if there is another Utility Equipment Glyph on this card, up to a maximum of 2. Batman cannot lose these glyphs by receiving wounds unless he is destroyed.

OUTSIDERS OPERATIONS PROTOCOL
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card, instead of taking a turn with Batman, you may choose up to two Unique Interloper Heroes you control, at least one of which has not been chosen for this special power previously this round. Take a turn with each chosen Hero. Batman may be one of the chosen Heroes.

MISSION PREP
Once per player turn, before rolling attack or defense dice for a figure you control, you may reveal an Order Marker on this card. For the rest of that player turn, you may add 1 to the Attack and Defense numbers of all figures you control.

OK, decided to run this in the public since there's no obvious release place for it right now and I'd love to uplift the Interlopers faction. Also, there's nothing in the works in the Sanctum for Interlopers right now, so anything he'd work well with is already public.

One major thing that's up in the air is mini.

Really hoping to keep the 220 cost for army building purposes, but open to tweaking anything else as needed.

Looks good. A few early tweaks to hopefully save time later

OUTSIDERS OPERATIONS PROTOCOL
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card and, instead of taking a turn with Batman, you may choose up to two Unique Interloper Heroes you control that have not been chosen for this special power previously this round and t. Take a turn with each of thosechosen Heroes. Batman may be one of the chosen Heroes.

MISSION PREP
Before rolling attack or defense dice for a figure you control, you may reveal an Order Marker on this Army Card. For the rest of that player's turn, you may add 1 to the Attack and Defense numbers of all figures you control.

Cool. Since that doesn't affect mechanics at all and it's easy to let these things slip, I'm going to make these updates now!

[Arch-vile]

I love how dramatic Batman is in that first comic panel.

This one was workshopped pretty thoroughly, I’m happy with it. Will be fun to have another option for the Interlopers.

[Tornado]

Mission Prep is cool.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah that's the classic cover for it. They wouldn't rescue Lucius, so he's pissed. I figured even if it doesn't make it to the card, it's a nice thing to have in the thread for backstory.

Yeah, seems pretty reusable since we didn't attach any classes to it. Definitely something I could see on a GI Joe write up, for instance.

[MrNobody]

You know I dig it.

[Lord Pyre]

Seems a bit redundant with Geo-force, who has the same ability but with a restriction. But maybe that works well so the opponent takes out Batman first, then your OMs go to Geo-Force as the contingency. Interesting.

Mission Prep doesn't quite seem like the right name for that ability in my opinion. He's using tactics multiple times throughout the battle, Mission Prep to me, implies a one time bonus at the beginning of the game? Minor point though!
