I'd bet anything that Dark Knights will be Chase figures, but hey, better than nothing. Fingers crossed we get Emiko. Not I need to start brainstorming New Super-Man stuff...

Justice League China! Yes! Kenan and the rest of that league are such fantastic characters! Also if there somehow manages to not be a Jon Kent I will be sorely disappointed.

Sounds like the Amazon one, she's mentioned with Bizarro and Red Hood.

Given this it may actually be worth making Defiance-based figures

[johnny139]

Alright, this here is 200% brainstorm so don't hesitate to tell me if you hate it.



SUPER-MAN
KENAN KONG

HUMAN
UNIQUE HERO
CHAMPION
UNPREPARED

MEDIUM 5

LIFE 5

MOVE 5
RANGE 1
ATTACK 4
DEFENSE 4

250 POINTS

EIGHT TRIGRAMS
Start the game with 8 white Trigram Markers on this card. Whenever Super-Man or a friendly figure within clear sight of Super-Man receives one or more wounds, remove a Trigram Marker from this card. Instead of moving or instead of attacking with Super-Man, you may place a Trigram Marker on this card, to a maximum of 8.

TAO TE
If Super-Man has at least:
- 2 Trigram Markers on his card, add 3 to his Attack number and he has the Super Strength special power.
- 4 Trigram Markers on his card, add 3 to his Defense number.
- 6 Trigram Markers on his card, add 3 to his Move number.
- 8 Trigram Markers on his card, add 3 to his Range number and he has the Flying special power.

MAGICAL PROTECTION
Opponents' figures with the Magical Defense special power cannot target Super-Man with a special power or special attack.

-----

Kenan has a weird power set. He has all the powers of Superman, but they're filtered through the lens of Taoism - he's a human manifestation of the balance between yin and yang. As such, all of Super-Man's powers are filtered through the eight trigrams. Confusingly, these trigrams are ordered 0-7, not 1-8. In his series, he learns to master them pretty much one by one, and when he's thrown off focus, he has to meditate a bit to recenter himself.

Trigram 0 = Stomach = Invulnerability
Trigram 1 = Hands = Super Strength
Trigram 2 = Ears = Super Hearing
Trigram 3 = Thighs = X-Ray Vision
Trigram 4 = Feet = Super Speed
Trigram 5 = Eyes = Heat Vision
Trigram 6 = Mouth = Super Breath
Trigram 7 = Head = Flight

So, the markers on the card are my best approximation of those powers. I went two-by-two and kept them to almost purely stats, but if we wanted to play around, we could drop Magical Protection (which is something he has, but doesn't always come into play) and give all eight a unique boost.

I have a few write-ups. Ronin and I have discussed Jericho a bit. He's probably the only one that really has a big difference from the previous version. Terra isn't much different, Rose same power set, Power Girl, Kid Flash about the same. I think Jericho is my main focus but it's probable that I'll use these mini's as my proxy for the regular ones when I play them with a Theoretical and Mythical Deathstroke II that I may or may not be working on currently. But none of this can be confirmed or denied.

That looks really cool. The idea of a superhero who gains his powers from Taoist principles is oddly unique and interesting.

[Xael Raymand]

I agree, I’ve never read that run but that power set looks very interesting.

The only thing I'm wondering is if there should be something to represent him achieving the perfect balance that leads to that ying/yang symbol he wears (unless that pretty much was just what happens he he unlocks the eight thing, it's been a while since I read)
Otherwise this looks like a great New Super-Man design

[Ronin]

I like that take on Kenan.

Magical Protection is something I figured he would for sure have on him. Or some kind of riff combining elements of Magical Protection and Kryptonian Defense - I had 'Kryptonian Qi' down as a power name.

EDIT: Also, speaking for coders everywhere, starting the Trigram count at 0 is definitely a good thing!

Really psyched to hear more of these figures are getting minis!
