I don't personally have the cards; however, I love the fact that people are still that interested in the game to try and improve and continue what was and is an excellent ccg.  I think the only true way to make this game something that is as popular as it once was if to crate a version of it for the computer and playable online.  Create online packs that contain cards for new releases, hold online tournaments, etc. 

As much as I LOVE playing live, it isn't practical given the lack of people interested in playing these days.   My cousin and I went to buffalo.  my cousin and I had a great time and met some very nice people.  We plan to host a tournament this spring, but being able to play once a year is not enough for me.  If we had a rock solid online platform, it could catapult interest.  Sponsorship is also important, which is obviously unavailable...

Just some thoughts..

please excuse typos....

i think Cyclops is more like at least 7-6-3-6

Well, per the handbook that is quoted on that site, his fighting is a 5 out of 7. Considering that Overpower goes to 8, it would seem that his fighting could be either a 5 or 6 in Overpower; however, considering the balance of the CCG, and considering who else has 5 or 6 Fighting, I'd say he should definitely be sub-6 (Consider Gambit, Mystique, and Psylocke all have 6F). Also, certainly in my own reading experience, a big part of Cyke's ability to "hold his own" against superior fighters (as the wikia mentions), has a lot to do with his ability to outsmart his opponent (very much like Batman, but on a smaller scale).

But also, I have a hard time with these ratings, anyway. Gambit only has a 4 Fighting, putting him in the "experienced fighter" category, but giving him no credit as a "master" of anything... but it doesn't take much to know that he's obviously presented as a "master" of Savate and Bojutsu.

AE is all i can think of when referring to
Spatial Awareness: Cyclops possesses an uncanny sense of trigonometry, in this sense used to describe his observation of objects around himself and the angles found between surfaces of these objects. Cyclops has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to cause his optic blasts to ricochet and/or reflect off those objects in a trajectory to his liking. This is commonly called a "banked shot" when applied to this talent. Cyclops has been observed causing beams to reflect from over a dozen surfaces in the course of one blast, and still hit his intended target accurately. It is his sense of superhumanly enhanced spatial awareness that allows him to perform these feats as well.

Yeah, his spatial awareness is something they don't really mention much anymore. I remember reading in (IIRC) an early X-Men book, when he'd left the team after the Dark Phoenix Saga, he was in a bar and he shot his beam just-so, that he hit all of the balls on a pool table into all 6 pockets at the same time! ZZZRRRAAAKKK!!!!

Personal Opinion:

Cyclops - 7-5-3-5
Superman - 7-6-8-4
