*I also agree on the earlier Heatwave comment by everyone.

I agree with the Heatwave comments as well. Especially the part about doing the Metahuman version for the V2 rather than the Arrow-verse.

"It's time to pay the Piper."

[FreshFoods]

Bit of a Rogue odd duck? Never really been drawn to playing him, curious if anyone has made him work.

[tcglkn]

Pied Piper and the Rat Swarms are pretty good. If you happen to land a wound with the SA taking control of a figure for a turn is very strong.

[Lord Pyre]

Yeah they're a cool combo. They can be kinda scary if they work, but the amount of times I've gotten them to work without just getting shot is very low.

[Arch-vile]

Pied Piper is decent for his cost. Having a ranged special that’s pretty easy to hit multiple figures and ignores your own dudes is handy.

I never really use Sonic Mind Control since I play him with Captain Cold 2 or Blacksmith, but it’s a handy power with Captain Cold I or in the endgame if you can get it to activate or use Rats as filler.

[Dysole]

It's probably the easiest way to get multiple rolls for Grundy or original Thanos.

Sonic Mind Control and Blacksmith combo nicely, I believe. She gives you a chance at a better special attack roll and then if you hit it, the Sonic Mind Control turn is immediately and doesn't have no additional turns language. Blacksmith does have that language, but her turn is after Pied Piper's turn, so I'm pretty sure it stacks.

Still, 3 attack for the special attack prevents that from being any kind of power combo. I'd say that and/or figures with defensive subtraction (like Deathstroke (Injustice)) are your best shots at getting full use out of his powers.

Hard to maximize, though, in general, and not the type of figure you'd build around to maximize.

Mysterio Holograms




Rat Swarm

(posting these together since there's probably not a ton on them + I want to try posting 2 at a time)

[toyhandle]

I really enjoy the Holograms. They perfectly sell the idea of Mysterio's abilities, with their regeneration, having no hit zones, and them being able to Fly and him not. Also cool that they don't clash with the Ock (II)'s Sinister Six power (although it would be an awkward 1035 to have them with the original S6).

[tcglkn]

I do like the Holograms a lot but I don't use them cause iconic Sinister Six is so fun.
