Flash (Barry Allen) (Justice League)

[IAmBatman]

If it's one of those where only I've been annoyingly competitive with him, I'm happy to just accept that I'm competitively brilliant and keep him as is.

[Ronin]

He's definitely looked pretty juicy to me in some of those builds you run, so I get raising a flag on him.

[IAmBatman]

OK, so I guess I need weigh-in on two things here:

A. Do we want Flash to recruit or just to get markers from the Justice League?

B. Do we want to boost cost/reduce effectiveness here at all?

[japes]

C. No preference on A or B but really would like him and the other three I mentioned to remain a 1000 point group. (GA, GL, BC)

[IAmBatman]

Might be better to look at some of his best friends like Wonder Woman I and Superman/Batman Robot, then, because ideally we wouldn't have to change the cost on Green Lantern at this point and Green Arrow and Black Canary as a point block at least would be very nice to keep as-is due to a number army builds.

[Yodaking]

Maybe it's TV show bias, but I do feel like Barry should be able to bring a friend to the JL meetings if he wanted to. Not sure if his comic book presence is as much of a confident leader of others. So leaning A, but will accept B if that doesn't mesh with his comic book JL run. I'll leave the points discussion here to others as I don't believe I've played this card yet.

[IAmBatman]

If folks *do* want him to recruit (I don't. I feel it's much more elegant without), what class would make sense to you and do you think would fit under the thematic heading of Swift Justice?

[Yodaking]

I saw someone suggest the Super Speed keyword. That could be fun, different (keyword vs. class), and on theme (Jay, Wally if they have cards without a JL tag).

Other thought (based entirely on the tv show) would be the Science keyword. Cisco, Kaitlyn, etc.

[IAmBatman]

I think the keyword idea was Speedster. Letting him bring in other Speedsters would be OK. And this is a case where it wouldn't just mean bringing in unthematic stuff for the most part, IMO, since Jay, Titans and Flash Family versions of Wally, Bart, Jesse, Johnny, and Max would all likely be in other factions, but are characters Barry would hang with.

[Ronin]

I'd skip recruitment for sure. I think it makes sense for his big bullety power to be the focal point.

Super light touch idea to nerf his vehicle shenanigans a bit without impacting him in other areas: could limit bullet the third to characters vs figures.

[IAmBatman]

His ability to make mechs move at double speed is definitely a big part of the appeal of that combo so, yeah, that'd take it down a notch.

[IAmBatman]

Made the change to moving Characters only.

Sounds like cost should stay the same. Dulling the VDO connection some should help that feel OK.

I'll hold off on adding any recruitment unless there's a wave asking for it, since the OG LD doesn't want it and the current LD (me) doesn't really want it either. Doesn't sound quite popular enough to go for it, IMO.

Where are folks at in terms of class? I'm leaning Protector, but Crime Fighter also had some chatter. I'd mildly worry how the latter might mess up Luke Cage armies?
