Mashing up a Marvel character with a DC character is fun - definitely feels like an Event Hero thing. Getting all the special powers of two cards could get really nasty. A hard 4 Life helps, but doing something like dropping Damian Wayne on Thor's card still sounds scary to me.

Yea, I was sure there were some nasty combos, that's why I suggested the hard 4 life to represent them being a little unstable.

[Arch-vile]

Awesome design. Definitely worried about being broken with the right combos, but there’s no easy way around that. The 4 life helps as should the high point cost of the Amalgam. That power would be perfect for an Event card too.

I’d suggest adding a pip on the first power that makes the Amalgam be considered to have the Amalgam publisher. That lets you remove the line in the 2nd power calling out the Amalgam and opens it to other Amalgam synergies down the line.

That's a pretty good idea, Thanks!

Agreed. I had the same reaction to the initial version that you did.

Similarly, Darkclaw feels like it has the Wolverine aspects really well but other than being a Vigilante is a bit light on the Batman aspects, IMO. Adamantium Strike as a name feels like Batman's in there, but double attack isn't especially "Batman" and the tackle power doesn't feel all that Batman to me either. I think something more stealthy, maybe?

[FreshFoods]

Maybe something along the lines of Evasive Strike.

Strangefate looks super cool! Balancing him sounds like a real nightmare, haha

[Dr. Jekyll]

Something like this sounds a little more "Batman." And then take away Tackle and just give him a simple Stealth Leap maybe.

ADAMANTIUM STRIKE
Figures subtract 2 from their defense dice when attacked by Dark Claw with an adjacent normal attack. If Darkclaw attacks an adjacent figure that he was not engaged with at the start of the turn, roll two additional attack dice.

NAME = DARK CLAW
SECRET IDENTITY = LOGAN WAYNE

SPECIES = METAMUTANT
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = VIGILANTE
PERSONALITY = RELENTLESS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 6

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = ???

ADAMANTIUM BLITZ
Figures subtract 2 from their defense dice when attacked by Dark Claw with an adjacent normal attack. If Darkclaw attacks an adjacent figure that he was not engaged with at the start of the turn, roll two additional attack dice.

EVASIVE STRIKE 15
If Darkclaw is attacked by an opponent's figure within 5 clear sight spaces and at least 1 skull is rolled, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 15 or higher, Darkclaw takes no damage and the attacking figure receives one wound.

HEALING FACTOR X
After taking a turn with Dark Claw, remove one Wound Marker from this card. At the end of the round, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card to remove one Wound Marker from each Army Card you control with the Healing Factor X special power.

[IAmBatman]

Sure. Slightly closer to Black Panther + Wolverine, but that at least feels rightish for the character.

Ninja editor!

[Ronin]

Evasive Strike + Healing Factor sounds like a pretty nasty combo.

[IAmBatman]

You snuck in some changes on me!

I'd probably go regular Healing Factor over Healing Factor X and consider going 17+ on Evasive Strike, then go with a double attack effect instead of a contingent +2 attack for the Blitz (seems like he should be better at beating up a crowd of thugs than at beating up Superman).

Then go like 270-300 and I'd say he's looking solid.

Probably a little too nasty really.

Heck yeah, you're the Batman expert lol. Really appreciate the feedback.

[IAmBatman]

No worries. My main thought is he shouldn't do the Wolverine thing as well as Wolverine or the Batman thing as well as Batman, but could do slightly weaker versions of both and still be pretty sweet.
