ANARCHY FROM ARKHAM
Calendar Man starts the game on this card instead of on the battlefield. While Calendar Man is on this card and not destroyed, after revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card, you may still use his Mind Games special power and you may take a turn with one other Unique Misfit Hero you control. At the end of each round, if Calendar Man is on this card, roll one combat die. If you roll a shield, place Calendar Man on any empty space in your Start Zone.

MIND GAMES
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card, before taking a turn, you may choose an unrevealed Order Marker on an opponent's Army Card. That opponent must place that Order Marker on another Army Card they control, if possible.

SEIZE THE DAY
If you have a Holiday Story Card in your army and Calendar Man has clear sight on at least one enemy figure, add three to your initiative roll for each Order Marker on this card.

Coding is messed up in the OP but you know I like this. Also upset that Arkham stole the art here when I’ve been waiting for this design for a long time.

you don't need the 'may still place and reveal' stuff in the first power.

I think stole is a bit of a nefarious description for signing up for it. Much like you and Spider stuff, it should be no surprise that I’m going to want to do the art for a Batman villain, especially given my favorite story is The Long Halloween.

Typically if you want to do the art for something, all ya gotta do is ask.

[tcglkn]

Nah you’re good. Was just planning to do this since I pushed Bats to do it basically since I returned.

Yeah, long time coming. I almost put Biollante over it, but I knew I'd probably pushed off starting on him long enough.

If it helps you hungry art folks, I plan to (eventually) do like 13 story cards to go with him.

Yep, good call. I'll fix that after breathing.

Eerg, I need to get that fixed. Where's the template for sanctum designs?

[IAmBatman]

Ah, it was just the centering, right? If so, got that fixed at least. Not sure what happened there in my staging document.

[Lord Pyre]

Sweet, been looking forward to this! Definitely want to use creepy Long Halloween art here if possible

I love that we're finally pulling the Misfits into an army. Something I've wanted to do for many years. My only worry is that this guy is going to be so freaking annoying, since Mind Games can really devastate some armies, like the FF or X-Men or other OM hubs. But that's at least easy to feel out. Could always tie it to a D20 roll or something if we want too.

[IAmBatman]

Well Mad Thinker is 160 points and has Mind Games and he's not breaking the game yet, so I figure we're in fairly safe territory. Obviously Calendar Man being unkillable while on card potentially makes it worse, so we'll have to vet that.

[Lord Pyre]

Ah didn't realize it was a reuse. Don't think I've ever played Mad Thinker? But yeah him off the table and bonding might make it a bit better here. Prob not a huge issue, just one of those things to keep an eye on.
