The Book of Wasp

What say we bump her normal move down to 4?

[IAmBatman]

I like that. 4 spaces is a lot for a tiny gal like her, and then if she can move 2 spaces after each shot, and gets 2 shots, that'll still give her plenty of movement. Also, it won't let her rush right out to engage everyone who's starting off far away and cheese some meat shielding for Darkseid.
I think that's a solid change.

I also want to add that if we can get her to cost 40 points () one could draft Hulk, Thor, Iron-Man (C3G), Ant-Man, Wasp, Fire Ant Mound x1 for 1000 points. I could even project a future Gray Hulk to cost the same as the official one.

[Griffin]

Lets try to get her down to 40 points if possible guys. If not, I will want to go back and readjust Ant-Man to cost less to make up any difference.

I love our 1000 point armies.

[IAmBatman]

Is Ant Mound x1 really going to be worth it, though?
I kind of like her at 50 to make Ant Man and her a 100 point start (add on Ant Mounds as you like).
Also, we're going to have a lot of differently costed Iron Men before all is said and done.

1. Yes because of bonding with Ant Man. Most figures will not want to give up a turn to kill an ant, and that will usually be enough to keep it in the game.
2. Ant-Man is 60.
3. But none of them will ever cost less than 90.

I am telling you, if we want Wasp to help create a 1000 point army, we need her at 40.

Updated first post fellas with what I gathered from comments was how we want her to be.

I'll check back in the morning for further comments.

I love the first post!!!!

[IAmBatman]

Me too. Looks good.

First post is looking real good here Hahma-time!

Wasp is ok as if you guys are happy to move forward as is. I won't stop it from moving forward but I still don't like the idea of her getting a larger move when attacking . Just the actions of making an attack would slow you down rather then speed you up. If she had a move of 5 & the special only allowed a move of 4 then this might add an occasion to use her normal attack.

What's the theme (or justification) of the opponent not rolling defense dice with the Special Attack?

Also the name of the power Microscopic Stealth doesn't fit. She isn't microscopic. Microscopic is so small you need a microscope to view it. She is an insect that are large enough to be swatted. Maybe Tiny Stealth.

Would something like then be acceptable?

WASP STING SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 2. Attack 1.
Instead of moving and attacking normally with Wasp, you may move Wasp up to 5 spaces. Wasp can attack up to 2 times with Wasp Sting Special Attack at any point before, during, or after this move as long as Wasp is on a space where she could end her movement. When Wasp attacks with Wasp Sting Special Attack, opponent's figures may not roll defense.

The theme behind not rolling defense is that she shoots her Wasp Sting blasts into their eyes, ears, nose, balls or wherever they are most vulnerable. She can blast a hole through a concrete block wall with her Wasp Stings, so it's not exactly a love tap.

The Microscopic Stealth is the same name from Ant Man's write up. They both can get down to 1/2 inch in size, so they should both be the same. Perhaps they can both be Tiny Stealth.
