You & Bios are the only ones that I've seen to take a crack at Luke.  Both different, yet both remarkably similar, and consistent with the character.  He can be a great supporting character for many a team.
Not really sure about "Sweet Christmas!", though.  A level 6 multi attack that is guaranteed to hit, and can't be removed.  Seems a little too strong at first thought.  Was this really your intent with the card?

wow, can't be avoided or negated, i didn't know Luke Cage was black galactus!

I don't see how you get that.  It can still be blocked, and it can definitely be removed.  It just can't be avoided or negated.  It gets past the two most ubiquitous types of defensive Specials, anything that says avoid, and anything that says negate.  Everything else stops it.  This why it's only a level 6 attack.  Even a max-6 character just needs a Power card.  Or an AL after the fact.

Ok, thanks for the clarification on Sweet Christmas!. I actually came to this post to ask the same question that was already asked, basically asking if "Cant be avoided or negated" meant they also couldnt block it with power cards. Im glad it can still be blocked with power cards, but maybe since this has confused more than one person, there would be a way to change the wording so that nobody confuses "avoided" with "blocked".  Maybee... um... "Cant be defended by a card with the word Avoid or Negate"?

Sounds like a good idea.

To achieve that affect, I think the wording would be "may not be defended by a Special card".  "Moved" is redundant to "shifted" (same thing), so I wrongly took it to be "removed".  Seems to me that "avoiding" an attack includes playing a power card to defend against it as well as a Special, but I guess its all semantics.  Knowing the intent, it makes more sense now.  Thanks.

"may not be defended by a Special card"

But that's not what I want it to do.  Other defensive Specials like AH, BJ, CC, or MH should still work against it.  And having it say that it can't be defended by a Special does nothing to prevent it from being negated after it hits.  Since avoids and negates are so common, I want it to get around just those cards.

OK.  Makes sense.  I CAN be slow at times, as you've already seen.
