_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Deadpool is known as a wisecracking and unstable anti-hero. The Deadpool of Earth-2149 is no different; however, this version of Wade has been Zombified and is hunting for a new body after having lost his old one to an unfortunate encounter with an industrial fan. You had best punt this guy out into left field if you like your body where it's at!

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• When an opponent's figure attacks a figure within 3 spaces of both Deadpool and Headpool, does Wisecrack activate once or twice?
  Once. As with all special powers that activate during the same phase, you determine which power activates first with a D-20 roll off. Thus, if Deadpool's Wisecrack activates first and is successful, then Headpool's Wisecrack cannot be activated as the attacking figure must attack Deadpool, if possible.

SEEK AND ANNOY 3
After an opponent reveals a numbered Order Marker on a card they control, you may immediately choose any enemy figure on the battlefield and move Headpool up to 3 spaces. Headpool must end this movement closer to the chosen figure than he was before moving with Seek and Annoy. When moving with Seek and Annoy, Headpool will take any leaving engagement attacks.

WISECRACK 15
Before an opponent’s figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Headpool rolls attack dice against another figure, if that opponent’s figure could instead attack Headpool, you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 15 or higher, that opponent’s figure must attack Headpool instead of any other figure this turn while Headpool is still on the battlefield.

PUNTED
When Headpool would receive one or more wounds from an adjacent attack, you may choose to ignore all but one of those wounds. If you do, the attacking player may choose any empty space within 5 spaces of Headpool's current placement and place Headpool on that space. Headpool will not take any leaving engagement attacks when moved with Punted.

Looks good to me!

[Yodaking]

My only concern going into testing it that their isn't much reason to put an OM on him and he'll end up getting left in the SZ. If the plan is for you to punt him forward using your own attacks, his life won't last long. Maybe change punted to only requiring a skull to be rolled rather than a wound inflicted? Or leave Punted as is but then give him Insane Devotion so he can move up with the rest of the Deadpool corps.

[L0B5T3R]

Ooo Insane Devotion or something like it would be suhweet.

SEEK AND ANNOY
At the end of each round, you may reveal an X order marker on this card to take a turn with Headpool.

[L0B5T3R]

That’s neat quozl. What if it was at the beginning of the round so he could get out quickly to make the most use of his Wisecracking. Alternatively you give him Carried so he could tag along with other insane-o figures, again to utilize his wisecracking.

[quozl]

Who would want to carry Headpool? I like moving it to the beginning of each round.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, he's got that beanie propeller too, so Carried feels unthematic. I like the idea of him relentlessly moving forward to annoy, though.

[L0B5T3R]

It’s also a glorious pun, very Deadpool.

[Yodaking]

That's a great power name! I might just give him movement bonding though, that way he can buzz around the board annoying everyone without attacking. With a move of 4, move bonding a full 3 times doesn't seem like too much movement. Especially since once he's engaged he would take a LEA and unlikely to move as a result.

[Lazy Orang]

I love Seek and Annoy! Playing this guy a bit, where Wisecrack is the main focus, might make me more likely to remember it on Deadpool. Is there an issue with multiple Wisecracks stacking on top of each other?
