Hate to be technical, but the Hulks, Joe Fixit, Captain Marvel and Beast Boy's forms don't have abilities that allow them not to start on the battlefield... those powers come from other cards. Technically, if you're going to place them in that section, all Agents need to be there too because they can be deployed through Helicarrier Drop Team on Fury, though I'd make that whole thing a separate category.

Technically all figures need to be in there because of Kang.

But you're right, when I get my post together for figures that can get 'recruited' into starting the game off the battlefield, those figures would make more sense in that post.

Give me a second, wouldja?

Yeah, I was actually going to say that about Kang after I remembered...
Maybe it'd make more sense to list the powers that can 'recruit' figures in this way rather than the figures who can be, since that's basically 'all Unique Heroes + Agent Squaddies'.

Yeah, that's probably the way it's gonna have to be - and then a note in the relevant figure's books (for the Beast Boys and what have you) that if you use them that way, they get the 'off the battlefield' interactions. Kang's book will also get a note that the Reinforcements you choose get off-the-battlefield interactions.

Anyway, the off-the-battlefield interactions are up - I mentioned that I was planning on doing this in a design thread, but just so the public is aware, I'm going to start doing the 'Ineligibilties' section for extant synergies where figures are excluded by some criteria; Atom can't be carried by tiny figures, Enchantress (I) can't activate figures with SS, and so on. That seems like a better organization to me than putting those things in the 'Weaknesses' section of the IBW.

Open to thoughts (or suggestions, if you think I missed something, which I may well have).

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Apocalypse and the Invaders both mention the Sucide Squad power.

Is there a reason Hush and the Manhunters are the only ones in the immunities section? They use the same wording as Kraven and such, so it seems like either ‘choose an/one opponent’s Unique Hero’ only hits figures an opponent controls and they all should be listed, or it hits any figures in an opponent’s army and none of them should be listed.

Yes, and that reason is that I misread the powers.


Fixed.
