Minotaur: cool stuff, 9 move does seem like a lot, but digging the theme! Cool generalist leader that can tie well into Maggia. Could definitely see the bonding being the most used thing there by far, and the first option for when you're rolling in the money.
Maxie: Been out of the loop a bit these last couple weeks, is the mention of "active" meant to be "on the board" or something? Cool support character, not heard of him before! Could maybe give him a range on the reroll power if we want him to rally them like he is in the art, though start zone sitter doesn't hurt either.
Deku: Nice work, he's been due a design for quite a while, and the little I've seen of the show this reps him well! Seems like he could be really good in just about any Student build!
Hugo Strange: Cool support stuff for Arkham builds, they're in need of a few more pieces of different prices, and also just missing a lot of pieces period. Seems straight forward but adds a lot to the faction.

Thanks! It needs to be more like this to work on defense too, but I think that's a better structure.
Just different implementations of theme, All Might is inspirational and boosts the Defense stat when engaged, Deku provides rerolls against enemies with revealed OMs due to his analysis of fighting styles. Both their auras are pretty tight and not a guarantee to trigger so I think rewarding that with them stacking is reasonable.
I didn't even pick up that it was meant to work on defense! New version looks great.

Write up for a somewhat obscure character, but I have her mini and would be cool to have more monstery characters, as well as the Legion of Monsters pushed along a bit.
Not sure if Creature is a good fit for her, but it could be a way for a future Thunderbolts Luke Cage to net both her and Man-Thing, as well as keeping her with some of the Marvel monsters which she has hung out with before. Demonic Enthralment could probably be simplified a bit, but I'm happy enough with where it's at for now. Could limit the enthralling part to just one figure if it's too potent.

DEMONIC ENTHRALMENT
Start the game with 3 Enthrall Markers. During Satana’s transition, you may choose a character within 5 clear spaces that is not a Robot or does not have the Undead keyword and roll 1 combat die. On a skull, if the chosen figure is a Unique Hero, place an Enthrall Marker on its card. Otherwise, it receives 1 wound. Figures with any number of Satana's Enthrall Markers on their card cannot make swipes, must end any move action closer to Satana than their original placement, and during combat against Satana has -1 Attack and Defense and -3 to d20 rolls. Before a figure with an Enthrall Marker on its card is activated, the player controlling that figure may roll 1 combat die. On a shield, remove all Enthrall Markers on its card.
SOUL SEEKER
Anytime a character within 5 spaces of Satana that is not an Undead or Robot is defeated, you may roll a combat die. On a skull, or if that figure was adjacent to Satana, she heals 1 wound and you may place that figure on this card, to a max of 3 figures. When Satana attacks or defends, you may remove a figure on this card to reroll up to 2 dice.
MAGICAL DEFENSE 2
When an enemy without Magical Affinity attacks Satana, she ignores all but 2 wounds from that attack.

This is @Lord Pyre's Jackal design!
LP had this to say when posting it;
NAME = JACKAL
IDENTITY = BEN REILLY
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
SPECIES = CLONE
CLASS = VISIONARY
PERSONALITY = UNSTABLE
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5
LIFE = 5
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 4
POINTS = 200?
NEW U
During setup, you may choose 2 Criminals on your team to gain the Clone keyword. Figures other than Jackal with the Clone keyword have -1 attack for the entire game.
DEGENERATIVE MOTIVATION
Instead of Jackal’s ordered activation, you may activate 2 unique heroes with the Clone keyword then end your turn. You may not take additional turns with other figures you control. At the end of the round, for each figure on your team with the Clone keyword other than Jackal, if they were activated, heal 1 wound. If they were not activated, roll 1 damage die against that figure.
SPIDER SENSE 13
Before Jackal defends, roll a d20. On a 13+, Jackal avoids the attack and gains a move action.

Here's my 10th Doctor!
NAME = THE DOCTOR
IDENTITY = N/A
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
SPECIES = GALLIFREYAN
CLASS = WANDERER
PERSONALITY = CHARMING
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5
LIFE = 6
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 1
DEFENSE = 3
POINTS = ???
SONIC SCREWDRIVER
Instead of an attack action with the Doctor, you may place a Sonic Marker on the card of a figure within 3 clear spaces. When a figure defends, you may remove any of your Sonic Markers from its card. It has -1 Defense for each Sonic Marker removed.
NO SECOND CHANCES
Instead of the Doctor’s move phase, you may choose an enemy within 3 clear spaces of the Doctor. If:
• no figures on the battlefield are Out of Chances, the player who controls that figure may remove an unrevealed Order Marker from its card. If they do not, all figures from that card are Out of Chances.
• that figure is Out of Chances, roll a damage die against that figure for each unrevealed Order Marker on its card.
“RUN!”
Before an opponent activates a card that has 1+ figures within 3 spaces of the Doctor, you may reveal Order Marker X on this card to move the Doctor and any allies adjacent to the Doctor up to 3 spaces each with Stealth.
FACTION = TEAM TARDIS
PUBLISHER = BBC
KEYWORDS = Chronal, Science, Telepath (seems like we're leaning no)
SYMBOLS = CROSSOVER
But we only have two and didn’t Soundwarp do one…so technically it’s your second doctor.
Unless you count dr strange.

Posted variations of this guy a few times, but I think I'm honing in on something closer.NAME = NOVA

CLASS = OFFICER
PERSONALITY = DEDICATED
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5
LIFE = 6
MOVE = 7
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 5
POINTS = 300s
NOVA FORCE GRAVIMETRIC SHIELDS
During setup, place 3 Nova Markers in a Nova Force Pool. When Nova would take 1+ wounds from an enemy, if it is;
• your turn, or;
• not your turn and you remove 1 Nova Marker from your Nova Force pool;
you may have Nova ignore half of those wounds, rounding up.
COSMIC WAR HERO
After a figure you control’s move action, you may maneuver it up to 1 space. After maneuvering Nova this way, you may roll 1 damage die against an adjacent figure that was 2+ spaces away from Nova before the initial move action. After maneuvering a figure with this ability, you may not maneuver it with this ability again until the start of your next turn.
HAIL MARY PLAY 10
Once per game, before Nova’s normal attack, you may choose for all skulls in that attack to count as 2 hits. If you do, after combat, roll a number of d20s equal to Nova’s remaining life. For each 10 or lower, Nova takes 1 wound.
FACTION = GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
PUBLISHER = Marvel
KEYWORDS = N/A
SYMBOLS = FLYING, SUPER STRENGTH
Cosmic War Hero could maybe be a little messy with certain allied abilities? (Anything that triggers during a move action.) We already have something kind of like it in Nemesis, though.
This isn't really meant to replace the (unconverted) 1.0 Nova Prime, just provide an alternative!

Valid! Probably need to add something like this in, the intent is that the shield runs out when he has no markers. (It'd be nice if he could still get the shields on your turn even with 0 markers, but not 100% sure how to word that without a ton of text.)
And yeah, he might be pushing 400...maybe his defense could go down to 4?

Got them switched around, but that looks good. My gut instinct would be to put in bullets for readability, but don’t know if the juice is worth the squeeze there?
When Nova would take 1+ wounds from an enemy, if it is;
• your turn, or;
• not your turn and you remove 1 Nova Marker from your Nova Force pool;

The way CWH jumps "back" to the initial move action for his damage effect feels a little awkward? I could see it maybe working better if his damage die was an option he had instead of the extra move vs the way it is now (putting it after the extra move but tying its condition to the original move).

THE IMMORTAL DRAGON
At the beginning of the round, place an age marker on Shou-Lao. Each age marker grants Shou-Lao +1 Life, Move, Attack, and Defense. When Shou-Lao is destroyed, place him on this card and remove all wounds from him. Each time you reveal an Order Marker remove an age marker from this card. When you remove the last age marker, place Shou-Lao on the battlefield adjacent to an ally.
ORIGIN OF THE IRON FIST
If there is a revealed Order Marker on this Card, Iron Fist allies you control have +1 attack. Instead of an activation with Shou-Lao you may activate X Iron Fist allies where X is equal to the number of the Order Marker you revealed this turn. You may take no additional activations before or after Shou-Lao's activation when using Origin of the Iron Fist.
ANCIENT FIRE BREATH SPECIAL ATTACK
Attack 3+X. Range 3+X. Heat.
Choose 3+X spaces in a straight line from Shou-Lao. All figures on that line are affected. X is equal to the number of age counters on Shou-Lao.

An update to the 1.0 Bishop. Mentioned it on the discord but in a perfect world I would split this design in two; I'm going to post a second design based on the Messiah Complex version of the character. EDIT: Striked-through and bolded proposed changes to this point.

TIMESLIP PURSUIT
Bishop does not begin the game on the battlefield. At the start of each round, if Bishop has not been placed on the battlefield, you may place Bishop on any space within 3 clear spaces of an enemy.
X.S.E. FIELD COMMANDER
If Bishop has a revealed order marker on this card, Mutant and Lawman allies have +1 Move and +1 Attack during their first activation each round.
ENERGY ABSORB
If Bishop has 1+ shields when defending against a non-adjacent attack, he ignores all wounds. After combat when defending, if Bishop took 0 wounds, place 1 Energy Marker on this card, to a max of 3.
CONCUSSIVE BLAST SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 5. Attack2 3.
This ability has +1 Attack for each Energy Marker on this card. After attacking with this ability, you may remove an Energy Marker from this card to attack again with this attack action.

Neat stuff - I misread the Age Marker stuff at first but it's nifty, at least in theory. The bigger of a dragon you throw at the enemy, the longer it's gonna take him to come back. In practice, I'm probably saving him as an end-game glass cannon, especially if he's got the faction's bonding option...but that's kinda cool anyways! I'd definitely try using the 9th Doctor to end rounds and charge up my dragon at least once.NAME = Shou-Lao, the Undying

For the bonding itself, I've always wondered if something like this would be cool;
I dunno, I have hesitations about reusing the Sin6 bonding style. I definitely don't think the Sin6 should be the only faction that ever gets to use it, but it is so aesthetically distinct that it always feels a little odd (to me, personally) when a proposed design attaches it to other factions. (If that makes sense?)
