EDIT: and I know Manphibian has a mini, but the general case is that if a character is both in comics and has a mini (or not-too-involved custom) available, you're probably gonna be okay.

Aquaman II has a power a lot like what you're describing, I think:

It is somewhat similar, though what I have is more in line with him going completely submerged and not being able to be targeted for a full set of turns.

Another great one from Skeeter.

VENGEANCE UPON MY SIRE
Hellcow rolls one extra attack die against undead figures.

BLOOD LIFE
After attacking an adjacent figure that is not an Android, destructible object or Undead, remove 1 Wound Marker from this card if the defending figure received one or more wounds.

PARTIAL INVISIBILITY
Hellcow can move through all figures and is never attacked when leaving an engagement. If Hellcow is not engaged with an opponent’s figure, she cannot be targeted by opponents’ non-adjacent figures for any attacks or any special powers that require clear sight.

Flight
Super Strength

As Hellcow, The Bovine Blood-Beast, is a rarely used character, here's some information on her:

Bio

Spoiler Alert!

Bessie was born three hundred years ago and was owned by a farmer in Switzerland named Hans. One night Dracula searched through Bessie's Swiss town, but could find no one to feast upon, so he drank Bessie's blood. The next morning Hans discovered Bessie's lifeless body and buried her. Three nights after she was buried she rose from her grave and swore vengeance on Dracula and his kind. Since then, she's appeared in issues of Man-Thing, Howard The Duck, & Deadpool.

Powers List

Spoiler Alert!

Hellcow possessed many abilities common to other vampires, but may not have had access to a vampire's full array of supernatural powers.

• Sanguination: Like others of her kind, Bessie possessed a set of sharpened canines, ideal for puncturing human flesh and the extraction of blood.

• Immortality: So long as the Hellcow maintained a consistent diet of human blood, her body did not continue to age. Whether the Hellcow required larger volumes of blood than the average vampire to accommodate this ability is unknown.

• Shape-shifting: The Hellcow possessed limited degrees of shape-shifting. She could transform her entire body into a fine mist, which enabled her to avoid all physical attacks.

• Flight: With the aid of her special cape, Hellcow possessed the ability to fly over great distances.

Blood Life & Intangibility are fairly straight-forward. Vengeance Upon My Sire is an attempt to represent her compulsion to destroy Dracula for what he did to her.

The miniature used for this design is
a custom creation (see spoiler below).

Miniature Information

Spoiler Alert!

The Hellcow I'm using is about 1 1/4 inches tall (to the tip of her horns). When I picked her out I had my Uncle Sam mini with me to gauge her size. I like how she fits (though just barely) on a single base. This will make her a bit awkward to move about in tight spaces - however cows aren't that graceful so I think it's thematic. She was very cheap to buy (25 cents) and not hard to repaint. I've included a picture of her by Uncle Sam at the bottom of my post for you to see.

Where I live most educational/science stores have buckets of plastic animals that you can pick through and buy individually. That is where I picked up my 'Killer Penguins' and where I found my Hellcow mini. The beauty of it is you can get them for about 25 cents a piece (or 5 for $1.00). Bags of farm animals also seem to be available in Dollar Stores or even Grocery Stores quite often - that is where I found my Toxic Waste barrels too.

However, if those options don't work for you there is no problem finding cows online as they are a staple of model train collectors. I think these will work (though you are stuck paying about $10.00 for a pack - keep the extra's handy for when someone finally figures out a good Skrull Cow design):

Amazon Cows
Mario's Trains
Ebay Cows

I also found individual cows that are the right height on ebay for about $1 or $2 (plus shipping).

The cow I used was white with black spots (and very poorly painted). I then painted it brown and draped some Apoxie sculpt over her back to make the cape. However, I think a black fabric (felt) cape that is crazy glued on her would work just as well if you don't like using Apoxie.

I'm not someone who modifies and repaints figures often (prior to this design, I'd only ever modified a Sentinel toy to make Master Mold & repainted Wonder Man to make The Beyonder). However, despite my inexperience I found Hellcow easy to make.

Below is a second cow I found (in a 'Farm Animals' bag at my local Grocery Store), I hope to make a tutorial using her for anyone that is interested.

You got it!

Also, for anyone interested, I tried to updated the active Allies in the OP with any I know who are active/inactive. Active Allies are in bold.

I really love this concept, and will be nominating it next round when it starts. May need some refining, especially the 'space he occupied before destruction' part (not the kind of thing you want to be remembering), but a figure based around constantly resurrecting again and again and gaining some of the abilities of whatever killed him sounds like amazing fun to me!

Acquiring a laundry list of powers may not be ideal though.

I think he will suffer from the Judge Death ailment, in that smart players will simply destroy him last as he does not have the attack power to warrant early destruction.

When he is killed, he could drop a glyph on his space and a marker on the card that killed him, for memory purposes. As to the strategy issue, I have no idea, since I haven't played in a few years.

Also, he has a miniature now, but I personally would rather not pay $13 for a convention exclusive that is missing most of his body.

Looks great, many thanks!

Don't you think it would be easier just to change the name of his ability? I mean he can communicate with more birds than just Redwing.

ZJ has a write up for Redwing and he has this

AVENGING COMPANION
Falcon cannot use his Redwing Distraction special power if Redwing is not within 6 spaces of him. After Falcon rolls defense dice against a normal attack from an adjacent figure, if Redwing is within 6 spaces of Falcon, you may place Redwing adjacent to the attacking figure and roll 1 unblockable attack die against that figure.

I think it's what you were after.

[L0B5T3R]

If we don't think changing the name of Redwing Distraction is an option, then this is the best course of action I suppose. I really didn't want to nerf Falcon, since my goal was to boost his appeal. Seems like the options are limited though. Thanks japes, and Ronin.

[Ronin]

I don't think it's a nerf so much as a trade-off. Having Redwing as more active instead of just passively watching his back (which is what Falcon kind of implicitly has) opens up a lot of options for him, but you do have to be careful to keep him close if you still want that "watching his back" dynamic.

[L0B5T3R]

That's true. There is also the possibilty as mentioned earlier of a Captain America Sam Wilson. We could simply hold off on Redwing and make him bond more inline with Cap Sam.

[laughing matter]

I've been working on these guys for a bit, and I finally got a working idea for all of them. On that note, here's the team that made me say "yeah, I'm ok with Gerard Way writing Doom Patrol". Without further ado, the other team of broken heroes. The Umbrella Academy

TELEVATOR
At the start of the game, before figures are placed, you may place a Glyph of Televator power-side up on any empty space on the battlefield that is in your Start Zone.

OPPRESSIVE PARENTING
When rolling for initiative, you may add 2 to your roll for each Order Marker on this card. While The Monocle is in play, you must subtract 2 from your initiative roll for each Order Marker that is placed on any other card you control.

UMBRELLA ACADEMY TACTICIAN
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with The Monocle, you may either:
- Move with "X" Resentful Anomaly Heroes you control, where "X" equals the number of Order Markers on this card; or
- Take a turn with two Resentful Anomaly Heroes you control.

NAME = GLYPH OF TELEVATOR
SUBTITLE = TELEPORT
PERMANENT GLYPH
When one of your Unique Anomaly or Simian Heroes stops here, you may immediately place that figure on any empty space within 10 spaces of this Glyph, if possible. Figures moved by this Glyph will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

UMBRELLA ACADEMY COMMAND
After taking a turn with Spaceboy, you may take a turn with any Unique Anomaly Hero you control within 6 clear sight spaces of Spaceboy.

I HEARD A RUMOR
Start the game with 6 black Rumor Markers on this card. Instead of taking a turn with The Rumor, if you have at least 1 Rumor Marker on this card, you may choose any opponent's Unique Hero within 6 spaces of The Rumor and place a Rumor Marker on the chosen figure's card. For the entire game, figures other than The Rumor with a Rumor Marker on their card must roll the 20-sided die before attacking. If they roll 10 or less, they may not attack during that turn.

DISARMING WORDS
Instead of attacking with The Rumor, you may choose an opponent's figure within clear sight of The Rumor and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 7 or higher, remove all unrevealed Order Markers from the chosen figure's Army Card.

STRETCH THE TRUTH
After an opponent rolls attack dice against The Rumor or any friendly figure within 3 spaces of The Rumor, instead of rolling defense dice normally, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 5 or higher, remove a Rumor Marker from this card. Your opponent's turn ends and the attacking figure receives 1 wound

OUIJA BOARD
Before attacking, you may choose any previously destroyed figure and roll the 20-sided die, adding 2 to the roll if it is a figure you controlled. If you roll a 13 or higher, you may view any unrevealed Order Markers on the chosen figure's card. If it is a figure you controlled, you may remove any unrevealed Order Markers from that card and place them on any other card you control.

TELEKINETIC BLOCK X
Whenever a figure you control would receive any number of wounds from an opponent's attack, or special ability, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card. If you do, that opponent's turn immediately ends and that figure receives no wounds.

REJECTED BY DEATH
At the start of each of your turns after The Séance has been destroyed, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 19 or higher, immediately place The Séance on a space adjacent to any figure you control and remove all Wound Markers on The Séance's card.

TIME JUMP
Whenever you would reveal a numbered Order Marker on this card, and take a turn with The Boy, you may instead reveal an X Order Marker on this card. If you do, place The Boy on this card, and reveal the lowest unrevealed numbered Order Marker on any other Army Card you control, and take a turn with that figure. Before, or after any turn, if there is a revealed X Order Marker on this Card, and The Boy is on this card, and has not been destroyed, you may place The Boy on any empty space within 3 clear sight spaces of a figure you control. After placing The Boy on the battlefield using Time Jump, reveal the lowest unrevealed numbered Order Marker from this card, and Take a turn with The Boy. When The Boy uses Time Jump, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

TACTICAL TELEPORT
After each attack with The Boy, you may place him on any empty space within 3 spaces of his current placement. When The Boy uses Tactical Teleport, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

KILL CRAZY
When The Boy destroys an opponent's figure with his normal attack, he may attack again. Roll 1 additional attack die for each figure he destroyed this turn. The Boy may continue attacking with his normal attack until he does not destroy a figure

TENTACLE GRAB 9
Before attacking, you may choose any figure within 4 clear sight spaces of The Horror and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 9 or higher, place the chosen figure on any empty space adjacent to The Horror. If The Horror attacks the chosen figure this turn, the chosen figure rolls 2 fewer defense dice. Figures moved by Tentacle Grab will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

APOCALYPSE SUITE
Instead of attacking with The White Violin you may choose all figures within X spaces of The White Violin. X equals the number of Order Markers on this card. All figures on the chosen spaces are affected. Roll the 20-sided die once for all affected figures. If you roll 14 or higher, all affected Symbiotes receive two wounds and all other affected figures receive one wound.

HELLFIRE MOTORCYCLE EMPOWERMENT
At the start of the game place a Hellfire Motorcycle vehicle destructible object adjacent to this Ghost Rider, and place this Ghost Rider on the Hellfire Motorcycle's card. When you roll the 20-sided die for a special power on this card, you may add 2 to the roll if Ghost Rider is adjacent to a Hellfire Motorcycle vehicle destructible object.

HELLFIRE CHAIN GRAB
Before attacking with Ghost Rider, you may choose one small or medium non-adjacent figure within 4 clear sight spaces whose base is no more than 10 levels above Ghost Rider's height or 10 levels below Ghost Rider's base. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 8 or higher, place that figure on any empty space adjacent to Ghost Rider. After the figure is placed, you may roll 1 unblockable attack die against the chosen figure.

PENANCE STARE 19
Anytime an opponent's Unique Hero destroys a figure you control with a normal or special attack, you may place the destroyed figure on the attacking Hero's Army Card. Instead of attacking with Ghost Rider, you may choose an adjacent Unique Hero. Roll the 20-sided die. Add 1 to the roll for each figure that was placed on the chosen figure's card by this special power, up to a maximum of +4. If you roll 19 or higher, destroy the chosen figure.
