Not sure of Faction Tag.

I put Masters of Evil but am open to other ideas. Maybe none?

He’s been in MoE and worked with other members that are MoE before as well so it works if we want it to. Mercenary is a class I’d like to see have a lot of draft ability other places such as the story card ideas that have been passed around. Something letting crimelords and mastermind types draft 1 mercenary to add to their faction would be cool and limiting it should keep it under control.

Can you link the original design?

I know Batroc is one we’ve identified as being pretty beefed for his cost. Not sure if we wanted to adjust anything due to that. But more MOE figures would be appreciated for sure.

That's true. I think he'd be fine at 140. Also 140 is great for MOE they have some 240 and 340 figures so it helps there..

I'm running that story card after Shredder and Kingpin. So pretty soon.

He's worked with Whirlwind, Hyde, Klaw, and Helmut multiple times.

If you count House of M he was in the MoE then as well with lots of folks from Zemo MoE.

Not a solid member but enough probably unless someone has a better sell for another faction.

Agreed, he's been in lots of teams. At some point you just need to pick one. Or none at all. Putting him in MoE will get him some more use.

[MrNobody]

So he's never been on the team in the non-altered 616?

Batroc seems like a classic no-factioner for me. He's been everywhere and worked with everyone, but he's not at home with any particular group or ally.
