_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Abra Kadabra was born and raised in the 64th century. A stage magician, he found that there was no desire for his skills in his own time. He traveled back to the 20th century to seek new audiences for his show. Using his future technology, which is so advanced as to resemble magic, he became a criminal. He often sparred with the Flash, both on his own and as a member of the Rogues.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Q - If the defending figure rolls only one shield and it is removed by Abra Kadabra's 64th Century Techno-Magic special power, do powers such as Luke Cage's Impenetrable Skin, Robin's Acrobatic Maneuver, or General Zod's Kryptonian Defense still activate?
  A - No. Subtracted shields do not count as having been rolled for defensive powers. This also applies if Abra Kadabra removes the only blank when attacking Flash - Speed Dodge would not activate!

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-

• Abra Kadabra has a lot of tricks to disrupt the enemy. Any figure that relies on specific defense dice rolls like Nightwing (I) or Flash is a good target for Abra Kadabra to go after. Don't be afraid to park Abra Kadabra on low ground just to switch him with an enemy figure on high ground next turn using his Smoke And Mirrors special power.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS

64TH CENTURY TECHNO-MAGIC
When an opponent's figure is attacked by Abra Kadabra, you may choose for that opponent to roll 1 additional defense die. If you do, after defense dice are rolled, you may subtract 1 skull, shield, or blank from that result.

FAUX MAGICAL DEFENSE
When Abra Kadabra is attacked by an opponent's figure that does not have the Magical Defense or Faux Magical Defense special power, the most wounds Abra Kadabra can take for this attack is one.

Ideas are a stage, a magic shop, or a daytime city scene. I'm cool with whatever and put a couple possibilities below.

Here's my next design now that Scar is wrapping up.

Gotta say that's one of the goofiest examples of Heroclix Face™ I've ever seen. Kind of love it.

[Lord Pyre]

Cool design. I think he'll be a bit less than 150, but it's solid otherwise!

[johnny139]

I think he's good to go. Still kinda prefer "Magical" Defense for his third power but I get why we moved away from it.

[IAmBatman]

Don't forget to post a link to this in the Outer Sanctum so folks like me realize it's here.

Looks good thus far!

[Arch-vile]

I propose we move to Initial Playtesting.
