Wow, these would certainly move Colossus up into a top-tier character! Obviously, pairing him with Juggernaut would then be a no-brainer. Together with his card from THE MARVELS set, Colossus would be a Special Card defensive tank!!
Out of curiosity, why did you want to give Colossus a bunch of new Specials? Just for the love of it? Or did you feel he isn't as stong in OP as he should be?

That's what I was wondering. I like some of the card wordings (mikhail especially seems interesting), but I personally feel like Colossus is pretty good as he is now :) IMO. I like him as a good force, but not too dominate - We do have to have all levels in the game for Balance.
he's my main x-man
i was looking at bios and http://justabgkid.com/emporium/homemadeemporiumhome.html (i look at those a lot) and figured why not colossus as well
Quote from: steve2275 on March 23, 2012, 02:22:59 AM
and figured why not colossus as well
I can understand that. Every now and then I make a card just because I think it would be cool for one of my favorite characters to have it.
i wonder if colossus had both haymaker and headbutt would they be considered dupes?
Quote from: steve2275 on March 23, 2012, 07:42:06 AM

IMO if he had the capability to play Jug's specials then no it would not be a dupe b/c one is his and one is Jug's. ;) Similar to drawing 2 different specials usable by the same guy with the same number on them.... i.e. Thor Mystic Uru Metal and Mjolnir Speaks (I know the subtext is different) but in lamens terms they are both 4S.

not dup'
it'd be the same as Beyonder using them both, or if the Event, FIGHTING SPIRIT LIVES came up. Having both in your hand, and having 1 person be able to use them, doesn't make them duplicates.

I guess not, because they are from different characters, but interesting question. I had another doubt related to it:

well, it's true that Image Inducer gets play (maybe even more than Double Shots), but still not common enough, methinks. Now, you add a numerical attack value to the card and you really have something going :D

Cabal - Thanos was a different set of Cabal, it should have been The Hood.
God Squad - again mixing 2 different sets, subbing Snowbird for MODOK would resolve that.
Illuminati - Beast & Hulk were not members, should be Prof X & Namor.
Otherwise, a different (& interesting) way to make team based locations without having an actual location involved.

are any of those too much?
i did those that because it make the most sense based on their abilities and powers and character
iceman......thought about blood chill frozen prison but thought they'd be too much
I stand corrected on the Illuminati rosters. There's more there than I realized. Thanks for "illuminating" me, steve.
The special cards you suggest don't seem too far out of line. I particularly like excalibur corps leader, born ready, & the 1st x-man.
The character cards, well....IMHO, I think the "keep duplicates" & "play from Reserve" are too heavy handed.
One special on an IA for dupe seems manageable. The way the game was designed, the "dupe" effect is in the OPD & non-OPD. The comic battle is the card game. Each hand is an individual skirmish in the overall battle.
One special on an IA for reserve use seems manageable. Other specials that specify play from reserve on the card are great to give to those who can/should be able to help "behind the scenes/front line". You'd be just as well off to create a house rule on what the reserve characters can & cant play, or simply use 4 front line characters. Either way it would have to apply to both sides to be fair.
Again, this is justa my opinion. I love the thinking outside the box, though.

you're welcome
for the moment ill stick with what i got (i spent hours thinking and typing all this)
but you never know
and i wanna here from others as well
but its not like made all those specials from reserve (maybe make it just 2 from reserve perhaps)
cyclops is a special case
lets take banshee...he still cant play his AA to JC combo from or AA to AS or JC to AS combo from reserve...maybe remove sonic scream from the I A?
luck of the irish isnt a power eitherCOLOSSUS...cant play his from reserve
iceman.... maybe just snow blind (not like it would be used LOL) and hail storm from reserve......leave the attack specials out of it what do you think of that?
nightcrawler....i did leave his OPD's of the I A
storm...maybe remove the AA and AQ from the I A list i also didnt have her HF (x-men leader listed either as im focusing make
better use of their actual powers) leading isnt an actual power too bad the smileys dont show up LOL
regular cyclops cant play this plan requires teamwork from reserve like the born leader variant? can
dont forget... you can only have 1 in reserve
(in this case playing certain specials) nor can power cards be playedi think i get what youre saying
youre saying that may keep 1 duplicate. or 1 duplicate of each listed above?
as opposed to 2 or more

Put them on as the discussion leaned toward missions, that's all.
Each team utilizes characters that have been on the team in their various incarnations other than specific line-ups. Adds for more variety and, so smaller teams like Fantastic Four, more character options.
added ice clone to iceman
Ice Clone Generation: The ability to generate ice clones of himself. It is unknown how many ice clone he can create at once.
added reform body to iceman
from his wikia http://marvel.wikia.com/Robert_Drake_%28Earth-616%29 (http://marvel.wikia.com/Robert_Drake_%28Earth-616%29)
Molecular Moisture Conversion: The ability to transform organic matter, such as a human body, to organic ice and back again. With this, it is possible for him to project his consciousness through moisture molecules and reform his body at the destination.
COLOSSUS
changed "so whats the plan comrade?"
its like he's asking scott what to do
then attacks with the chosen special next turn or defends depending of the previously chosen special
in a german accent
1 added prepare to teleport to nightcrawler
he has plenty to choose from
2 added lifetime of teleporting to nightcrawler
do 2 then 1 and be ready next turn (just like banshee......cant believe i just thought of that)
3 added teleport a teammate to nightcrawler
4 added scouting teleport to nightcrawler
5 added teleport on ahead to nightcrawler
6 added self teleport to safety and medical attention to nightcrawler\
7 added peek-a boo i teleport past you
8 added teleport past perimeter defenses
cant think of anything else right now
oh
and changed summon elemental power (replacing the original) makes more sense to "summon" one of her own
