NAME = RED LANTERN
SECRET IDENTITY = DEX-STARR

SPECIES = CAT
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = RAVAGER
PERSONALITY = FIERCE
SIZE/HEIGHT = SMALL 2

LIFE = 4
MOVE = 6
RANGE = 2
ATTACK = 2
DEFENSE = 6
POINTS = 250

BLOOD OF YSMAULT 2
Start the game with 2 red Battery Markers on this card. Add one to Red Lantern's Move and Attack numbers for each red Battery Marker on this card. Whenever Red Lantern receives one or more wounds from an attack or the Blood and Rage special power, if there are fewer than 2 red Battery Markers on this card, you may choose any red Battery Marker that is not on an Army Card and place it on this card.

CAT SCRATCH FEVER
After attacking an adjacent figure, if the defending figure received a wound, it receives one additional wound. After attacking with Red Lantern, you may remove a red Battery Marker from this card to attack again.

FURBALL UNDERFOOT
Figures engaged with Red Lantern subtract 1 from their Defense number. After a friendly Ravager moves normally, you may move Red Lantern as long as he ends his movement adjacent to that Ravager. Red Lantern will not take any leaving engagement attacks when moving with Furball Underfoot.

After some consideration, I think it would be cool to give him a small range...maybe just 2 or 3? It could be a nice way to hint at the "Only Rankorr and Dex can use constructs" rule of the RL book without making them literally the only RLs who can use constructs.

[Karat]

Couple minor tweaks. Figured we should get them out of the way early.

SAVVEE MASSTERRR
After taking a turn with a friendly Ravager, you may move Red Lantern as long as he ends his movement adjacent to theat Ravager. Red Lantern will not take any leaving engagement attacks when using this special powermoving with Savvee Massterrr. If an adjacent Ravager would receive enough wounds to be destroyed, you may instead remove a red Battery Marker from this card and ignore those wounds.

Person
For pasteability:

SAVVEE MASSTERRR
After taking a turn with a friendly Ravager, you may move Red Lantern as long as he ends his movement adjacent to that Ravager. Red Lantern will not take any leaving engagement attacks when moving with Savvee Massterrr. If an adjacent Ravager would receive enough wounds to be destroyed, you may instead remove a red Battery Marker from this card and ignore those wounds.

[Arkham]

That wording came from:

KRYPTONIAN'S BEST FRIEND
After taking a turn with any other Unique Kryptonian Hero you control, you may move Krypto as long as he ends his movement adjacent to the Unique Kryptonian Hero. Krypto will not take any leaving engagement attacks when using this special power.

Updated! Thanks.

I'd be fine with that if that's the general consensus.

[IAmBatman]

Good either way on range! Don't know him well enough to say. I suppose it would get his vomit in there as well, though.

Like the general direction. Me-OW!

[Lazy Orang]

Not knowing the character, Savvee Massterr feels a tad too... loyal for a cat. I also kind of miss Rage Vomit.
In all seriousness, though, super excited about this one.

[Tornado]

Purr-fect.

[LordVenoc]

Comic wise, Dex's origin is based very much on loyalty. Almost immediately after getting the ring, his fist thought is about his dead owner, think "I find who hurt you. I kill. I good kitty."

Love the design. So stoked to see him finally come to the game.

I'm sure that's the case, but I couldn't resist a joke considering the vast majority of cats consider their owners to be strange looking creatures tolerated mainly for their unique ability to open cans.
