The Book of Superboy-Prime

[IAmBatman]

His only thematic teaming, really, is the Sinestro Corps, and I imagine there's going to be a lot of flexibility with them once they're fully built out. 610 for him and 330 for Sinestroy gets you to 940. We'll probably eventually have a filler construct that can round that out.

[MrNobody]

An eventual Alex Luthor could play with him, as could pretty much every Legion villain that we ever do.

[IAmBatman]

Alex Luthor would be great.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

yea

[IAmBatman]

If y'all don't think 610 fits, let me know! Otherwise, more votes definitely appreciated. We're down to 32 votes or about 36 hours here.

Edit: SW

Yea

A minor edit:

ANTI-MONITOR ARMOR 3
Superboy-Prime's special powers cannot be negated and his Attack and Defense numbers cannot be reduced by any special power on any other Army Card or Glyph. Start the game with a yellow Armor Marker on this card. While the Armor Marker is hereon this card, add 3 to Superboy-Prime's defense. If Superboy-Prime has 3 or more wounds, remove the Armor Marker from the game.

Yea, tests look good.

Do we want to have the discussion about alternate reality stuff or are we just going to ignore it here? This seems like the first design where we've blatantly just shrugged our shoulders and said "okay, these 2 different characters who have appeared in the same room can't be played together."

[Karat]

We did it with Headpool too. It is a discussion I want to have, but not one I want to hold up this design over.

I think when it comes to alternate reality stuff - this guy is Kal-El. If we're going to make an exception here and name him "Kal-El Prime" or something, that's not solving the problem, that's just kicking the can down the road until we get to the next guy with this issue. If someone wants to take the flag and put together a sweeping "Unique Heroes on Infinite Earths" ruleset, I think most people would be amenable to that.

Here's a wording once over. I don't do the notation thing, but there were a lot of tweaks here so now I'm getting the feeling I should start doing notations...

ANTI-MONITOR ARMOR 3
Start the game with a yellow Armor Marker on this card. While the Armor Marker is on this card, add 3 to Superboy-Prime's Defense number. If there are 3 or more Wound Markers on this card, remove the Armor Marker from the game. Superboy-Prime's special powers cannot be negated and his Attack and Defense numbers cannot be reduced by any special power on any other Army Card or Glyph.

HEROIC ENVY
When another figure you control inflicts one or more wounds with its normal attack on an enemy figure within 10 clear sight spaces of Superboy-Prime, Superboy-Prime must immediately move adjacent to the attacking figure, if possible, and attack all figures adjacent to Superboy-Prime. After attacking, your player turn immediately ends. When Superboy-Prime uses Heroic Envy, he will take all leaving engagement attacks.

RETCON PUNCH
Once per game, if Superboy-Prime would be destroyed, after placing any wounds, roll 10 attack dice. For each skull rolled, remove a Wound Marker from this card, then each player may place a previously destroyed figure in their Armies onto an empty space in their start zones. Place or remove Wound Markers until each figure placed has up to 2 Life remaining.

I’m good with an alternate universe symbol next to the SI to show he can be played with any character of the same name.

Or just drop the secret identity.
