Palatinus' OverPower Forum

Not that I think Wolverine is lacking in power or ability, but has anyone considered something along the lines of:

I'm The Best There Is At What I Do - Wolverine may make as many attacks as possible until 1 of opponents characters is KO'd. For each undefended attack, Wolverine may draw a card.  Discard Duplicates.

how about this?

"I'M THE BEST THERE IS AT WHAT I DO" - For remainder of battle, Wolverine's Special card attacks may not be defended by Special cards. OPD.

His only attack that would break a lv.8 Power card is Wounded Animal, and he'd have to be... wounded... so it's not going to be a completely broken card. It'd certainly make me more likely to use his Berserker Attack (4F-AA). Plus, it'd make Tracking Senses (5I-OB) much more helpful from him personally (as opposed to using it from a Battlesite, which seems much more common).

I like that.  But I would make it "For remainder of game" if you are going to restrict it to only his special card attacks.  IMO.

What about:
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man - Teammate may avoid 1 attack.  If this is the first time you've played this card this turn, return it from your dead pile to your hand.

need something for
by the white wolf

By the white wolf?  Can you give me a little background on this refference?  I'm not familiar with it.

How about:
Captain America: Avengers Assemble! - Remove 1 hit from Captain America's and each teammates permanent record or hits to current battle.

its a COLOSSUS catch phrase

I'm not familiar enough with Colossus to come up with a card based on just this phrase.  If you could give me a little insight as to it's meaning, I might be able to come up with something.

Carnage: I'm Killing You Cause I Can - Acts as a lvl 6 fighting attack. If this attack KO's it's target, Carnage gains +8 to venture.

A little bit more of a boost then your normal HO specials, yes, but this also has the stipulation of being the KO attack, and not simply any successful attack.

I actually like that Carnage card a lot! He needs help, too, because his comic counterpart is WAY more dangerous than his OP rep 

Also, "By the White Wolf" is something Colossus exclaims when he's caught off guard or surprised by something, I think. Similar to "Lenin's Ghost!" - It's the same way that Beast uses the phrase, "By my stars and garters"

So,certainly, it could be an EB shield, like the one Beast got. What I think Colossus could really use, though, to go along with his LO-teammate avoid, is a "get off me" card. This could certainly work for this. Say something like a CD or AH coded card. I don't necessarily think it should go so far as a BJ/CW card though (may not be attacked for battle)... Colossus doesn't need TOO much help, though, so maybe it could do with some kind of nerfing... how about this:

BY THE WHITE WOLF! - Avoid 1 attack. Colossus may attack or be attacked for remainder of battle. (non-OPD)

So, it makes it like the FA-Specials, except that it can (and must) be played defensively.


++++

How about this one for Gambit?

MON AMI - Gambit or teammate may avoid 1 attack. (OPD)

It's like the Spawn AD avoid, except it's not limited to 9 or less, but it's also a OPD. Thoughts?

Did you mean Colossus may NOT attack or be attacked for remainder of battle?

I like that effect for Gambit, and making it OPD so it's not overly exploited like Spawns is nice, but I think there needs to be a bit more OOMPH to justify the OPD.  How about making it similar to Shang-Chi's Swift Counteract? Just slip an opponent discard in there at the end.

I did, in fact, mean that Colossus couldn't attack. It goes with the other FA-codes, and also makes sense in context, I think.

As for Gambit's card, it more or less makes it a non-duplicate of Guardian Angel, so it seems like a card with that much versatility would be OPD... adding a discard... anyway, for who Gambit is I'd sooner add DTR to it, since he always has a card up his sleeve 

DTR makes more sense.  I'd do that.  And Guardian Angel is OPD because it's playable by anyone.  If Gambit is KO'ed when you draw Mon Ami, you throw out Mon Ami.  Hence why there should be something more to justify it's OPDness.  A defensive AT makes sense, especially for Gambit.

Batman: I Am Vengeance! (BS) - For remainder of battle, if Batman can block a Power card attack with an equal value Power card, Batman's Power card hits the attacker

Hulk: The Madder Hulk Gets... (BO) Acts as a level 5 Strength attack.  May be combined with 1 Strength card for a single attack.

I like the idea of Batman being able to retaliate on the defensive.  Thinking back I'm kind of surprised that he didn't have a BS from the start.

The BO for The Hulk was intentially lowered from a 6 to a 5 because he can combine his with an 8, instead of a 7, thus making both attacks roughly the same power level (unless you can somehow boost cyke's energy rating to 8, and happen to have both an 8E powercard AND Remove Visor available to play, in which case, Cyclops' version still comes out on top, and Hulk should keep the 6S on the special.  Thoughts?

i'll try to make this a card.
