absolute evil and card design

[Jack]

I'm still under the impression that the AE set will be sold like the Marvels as in you get a complete playable set of cards. Not sure why we would do a chaser unless we're going to be greedy and sell booster packs.

Galactus does not get any specials, the set of Teamwork cards at his disposal are enough.

Just my 2 cents:

Xbabies seem to have plenty.  They're cute and all, but they get so much game time already.  I think Galactus is ok as he is.  Warlock could use a few cards, but he isn't evil.  I'm ok with going all out for some good guy stuff to balance the card count (Maggot and Marrow need another special or 2!), but there are alot of characters to consider... that could make for a big set!  That doesn't bother me either.  The more cards, the better in my opinion, but I would say most people want to keep it tight.  I would enjoy a 6anypower and 5multipower... but I think that's a no no.  Other than that, maybe a few alternate versions of already existing characters would be neat, just the ones that need a cool inherent ability or better stats.

maybe he means chasers as in cards that aren't related to ae, but should be produced.

[Jack]

That will be part of the completion set.

[BasiliskFang]

that sounds fancy

why give heroes new card
when this about evil?

[BasiliskFang]

Some didn't get any.

[breadmaster]

i choose my words poorly

by 'chaser', i meant the specials that are included, but are not for necessarily 'evil' characters

shiar/morlocks/scarlet spider/xbabies/blink/shatterstar, and possibly kree

[KObossy]

a few other points

-should we give galactus a special?

-should we give warlock 6 specials?

-if we add a 'chaser' set along with this (for neglected characters), should the heroes get a different border/backround?

-should kree be lumped in with the 'evil' characters, or go in with the chasers?

my thoughts are: yes/yes/yes/chaser

No Galactus specials.

Yes to Warlock specials.

I dont care either way if 'Heroes' should get more cards in this set. They can always get cards in the set after this one! 

Yes the Kree are evil!

Give Dr. Doom a special thats makes him playable! Example: 'Doombot! -  Play on turn that Dr. Doom is KO'd. Resurrect Dr. Doom immediately and return him to front line. Cannot be used in a battlesite.' DOOOOM!!!!!!!!

A few thoughts...

I like the red border for the cards.

I'd support the creation of five or six special cards for Warlock. He has an official card, he might as well be made playable. Outside of Warlock, I'd avoid adding any more specials to the Marvel heroes. I do think The S'hiar, Morlocks and Kree can be given a special, as they've had non-heroic moments, and I don't think any of the three were given a Marvels card.

I agree with Jack re: Galactus. The fact that he can use the set of Teamworks makes him a viable enough character to at least consider adding to a deck.

No more specials for X-Babies, they don't ever need another card again. They are too strong as it is and are just too cheesy. I dislike everything about them; under 6 grid / 15 point total, they have an AO special amongst other strong special cards, the whole 'dead is dead' rule, the way they can be paired up with other high powered characters due to their low cost. And yet Batman is joke in OverPower, or to stay on the Marvel Bad Guy theme, the X-Babies are superior to Dr.Doom and Apocalypse. Ridiculous.

I don't think it would be a good idea to go all out crazy with creating new characters. As much as I like to create custom characters, and I have a bunch of them in my collection, I think the better idea would be to modify the locations to eliminate characters that were never created and replace them with current characters.

Having said that, I strongly encourage the group to create Thanos. It boggles my mind to this day as to why he never made it into a set. Maybe Thanos was thought of as too powerful or too unbalanced to be included in OverPower, but Darkseid made it in for DC and Malebolgia made it to Image, and both of them are very strong in terms of their grid. Also, with Avengers 2 coming up in the 2014/15, Thanos would be a perfect character to add to OverPower. Perhaps two new characters can be added, to match the two characters given to us in The Marvels, with perhaps a vote being taken to determine which two characters are created.

That's all for now. I've been crazy busy at the office (which is where I am writing this), but I plan on trying to help as best as I can.

Can x-babies please have a HI, hc or mf? Babify!

Overpower legion already made some unnerfed home bases.

Red border, yes.
2 opds and 3 base specials for warlock.
No galactus specials. Or if he has one, something like uproot earth from mole man.
Perhaps we can think about how playable shiar, Kree and morlocks are now and probably give them a nice opd.
How about doramuu from the 7ap and mvc3 as the other character? Or Loki?

[TGW]

My pick for two characters would be Thanos and Loki. Essential characters in the Marvel Universe, and again, crazy that they never made it into any of the official sets (they made it into my homemade sets, though, along with Ultron, Kang, Zemo and Annihilus to name a few other favorite Marvel bad guys).

I like the three base / two OPD specials for Warlock. We have to do something for this high point character who as of right now, is basically useless.

found an interesting piece of warlock:

I would have to agree.  Thanos, and my other vote would be Mephisto.  Which locations does everyone want to modify?  Mephisto is on one... I heard the Legion traded him for Hulk.  Do you guys wanna make new locations?

that was one of the trades i didnt like, i would have put on namor.
