Palatinus' OverPower Forum

was there a reason why x-babies didn't get a marvels card?

were any other heroes not given one?

as i mentioned in the ultimate evil thread, morlocks and inhumans didn't get a card either.

yet thunderbolts did

guess it will remain one of those mysteries

Inhumans got a card! they got that great EE-Special that affects Special cards (like the others did to Power cards)!

That doesn't really answer the question about X-Babies, though (or Morlocks, for that matter). Don't really have any ideas why they would disclude X-Babies... I thought maybe because they were already so cheap (in multiple ways), but then there are The Morlocks to consider... so I just don't know... but at least Inhumans got a card!!

I think with the 'Dead is Dead' rule and some of the cards that came out around the time of Image and X-Men that almost seemed to be made to combat the X-Babies specials directly, the last thing the Marvels needed to do was provide this team with another viable card.

that is true about them already being good, but so were heroes for hire.  rather than no card, they got a shitty card (fastball special)

and nic, you are right about the inhumans...it was shi'ar that got the other snub; i must have confused them

Dang! Shi'Ar totally did get snubbed!!!

Yeah, HFH received a mediocre card and they are a strong team, but at least their strength is realistic from a comic book standpoint. I really think Marvel/OverPower was going to phase the X-Babies out had the game continued to be produced. They started off as a nice gimmick; lowest four grid total in the game with some really nice specials, but their inherent was ridiculous. Even with the 'Dead is Dead' ruling in place, the team was too good for it's own good, basically.

X-babies didn't need a card. In terms of specials they've got to be top 10, if not top 5 already.

If they had bq and an aspect seek...

They should have printed that Apocalypse event special we've been discussing for the xbabies in Marvels.  For sure.  Had they only known...
