I feel like this one gave the best Power Cards... was it something to do with Power Cards?

it's not power cards, but it IS game-related

are they over the sum?

check that nail for a concussion, cause that man just hit it on the head!

guess that illustrates that the sum deck rule was an afterthought...

As I was reading down the thread I thought Dr.Doom's would be too!

It's funny that they made a starter deck that isn't tournament legal! I wonder if it was banned from sealed-deck tournaments, then! lol

funny you should mention that

i was looking through the tournament guide, and they state that in sealed deck tournaments, sum-deck doesn't apply

that sent me right to opo to build the decks to find out which violated sum-deck, and led to this topic

When I first started playing the game in 1995 I would play an FF deck and my college roommate would just play a max-8 deck with good special cards.  This is when there were only 3 stat characters.  And I wondered why the FF wasn't playable back then lol.

QUIZ TIME:
Which power card has the copyright/character name written along the vertical?
Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: breadmaster on April 05, 2013, 05:40:26 PM

we'll see if anyone can get it without doing so

Post by: BasiliskFang on July 20, 2013, 04:44:47 AM
Who has the most appearances on battle sites?

Who has the most appearances on cards that aren't theirs/related to them? (Ie wolvie and danger room)
Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: breadmaster on July 20, 2013, 02:39:21 PM
without looking, i'm gonna guess wolverine.

iirc, angel appeared on a high number of sites too (I guess they really wanted to maximize that 1 special)
Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: BasiliskFang on July 21, 2013, 03:37:56 PM

Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: breadmaster on July 21, 2013, 04:06:42 PM

I mean, if it's not Wolverine, I'm shocked. Between the two of them, Wolverine and Spider-Man are easily Marvel's most popular individuals, and we all know how Spider-Man was treated by OP  :-[

ill take a peek at the cards and look for the answers...

Department H
Krakoa
Landou, Luckman and Lake
Madripoor
Outback
Princess Bar

Who has the most appearances for being on any overpower card but not having an overpower character card?
Example: (http://overpower.ca/thumb.php?file=cards/specials/657.png)

Who has the most appearances on cards that aren't theirs/related to them?, maybe wolverine again?
I went thru every character on a battlesite and here I have listed people with a score of 3 or more.

First # is appearance, 2nd is power-ness (borrowing powers):

Wolverine 6,3:

well, remember BasiliskFang, the artwork for The Marvels was never comissioned, so I'm not really sure those would count in our totals here (and this is super-duper-official  :P)

Also, I'm pretty sure that's Shadowcat in the control room for the Mutant Schooling card (that was maybe Banshee with her, but I can't tell for sure...)
Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: breadmaster on July 23, 2013, 08:13:33 PM
i'd guess it was cypher (which would be 2 appearances for him, not having a character)

off the top of my head, cyber also has 2 appearances (8 power card, and a basic universe)
Title: Re: more trivia!

Loki has 3 cards.  Any hero and 2 power cards.

Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: breadmaster on July 24, 2013, 07:41:28 PM

seemed like as good as an excuse as any to pull out the ol binders and take another look through the cards.  this is what I came up with:

5 appearances

thanos: adam warlock FE/infinity gauntlet artifact/IG mssion 7/2 IG events
wasp: 1f/ally/crossing event/crossing mission/secret wars mission

4 appearances

abomination: any AR/8s/2i/8s BU
loki: any AF/5i/4s/8eBU
sauron: any AA/any DF/3e/training

3 appearances

blink: AoA location/AoA aspect/DS
cannonball: SotF event/x-mansion aspect/morlocks EX
century: 5e/1m/training
chamber: 1m/krakoa aspect/white queen FA
cyber: 8f/5s/8fBU
electro: 4e/6eBU/DS
gamora: adam warlock AD/infinity gauntlet event/teamwork
pip: adam warlock AD/infinity gauntlet event/teamwork
ultron: 6i/secret wars event/Pym JC (and possibly another, but it may have been a generic robot)


2 appearances

avalanche: nightcrawler DZ/blob AE
black tom: deadpool AG/teamwork
captain marvel (female): secret wars mission/secret wars event
cypher: x-mansion aspect/shadowcat BZ
demogoblin/shriek: maximum carnage mission/teamwork
destiny: SotF event/AoA aspect
dum dum dugan: 2 nick fury specials
franklin Richards: AoO mission/ally
howard the duck: 2m/DS
Jarvis: crossing mission/ally
JJ Jameson: ally/scorpion HE
jury (venom villains): separation anxiety mission/event
kang/mantis: crossing mission/event
krakoa: krakoa location/aspect
lizard: sewer location/1i
Lockheed: ally/shadowcat BZ
magik: AoA aspect/x-mansion aspect
man-thing: 1m/DS
mephisto: any AF/gauntlet event
moira mactaggart: muir island aspect/ally
nebula: 1e/6fBU
punisher (galactus robot): coming of galactus mission/event
pyro: sentinels DT/3e
rick jones: ally/captain mar-vell JB
Sharon carter: captain America JC/annihilation affair event
skin/M (gen x): krakoa aspect/white queen FA
stan lee: marvel univers/manhattan aspects
starfox: gauntlet event/DS

there's also a bunch of symbiotes on the separation anxiety missions/events.  some of them are the same, but I don't know if they ever got names (and don't really care enough to look).  there's also a generic green guy on mr fantastic/quicksilver specials that may be radioactive man, or may just be a generic green guy ;).  there's also a whack of characters that make only 1 appearance, which I can list if any other nut out there besides me cares about this king of thing

some thoughts:

someone in charge of the first set really liked century...and to a lesser degree cyber
thanos/wasp having the most is fitting.  he's a big baddie, and she was a founding avenger

Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: BasiliskFang on August 18, 2013, 02:47:31 AM
Yes that's the one that gave me the idea.

What tw cards show people who don't have hero cards? (Ignore if they have a team card like team x or starjammers.)
Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: breadmaster on August 19, 2013, 01:30:50 AM
man, I was just going through all the cards not too long ago when I made that list, and I couldn't come up with any off the top of my head

...so I had to peek

a hint for anybody trying

there are 5 marvel characters (that I counted) on tws without character cards, and they are spread out through only 3 cards
Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: gameplan.exe on August 19, 2013, 01:35:19 AM
wow, well, I can think of a few off the top of my head... but they're maybe technically on "team" character cards... maybe... idk, but I'll be thinking about this one!

Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: Demacus on September 03, 2013, 09:48:02 AM
 Card art that references the game, 1 would be Wizard in Top Hat and Tails, for sure.  The other would be...?

Remove Visor
Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: BasiliskFang on September 03, 2013, 08:02:34 PM
there is one more.

its more of like "who is pictured" rather than what (ie- the overpower logo).

remove visor is a good catch.
Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: breadmaster on September 04, 2013, 12:11:15 AM
remove visor was the only one I knew off the top of my head

anyone remember in the comics, onslaught was playing franklin Richards in overpower.  iirc, a darkclaw from amalgam was shown

would the 3rd be team overpower?

weird, I never actually looked that close at the art on the DC BQ to notice that they were overpower cards...nice!
Title: Re: more trivia!
Post by: BasiliskFang on September 04, 2013, 10:13:43 PM
Yes and yes. 7 any and team overpower
