thanks, I rather like that image too

here's another powerhouse



the text is a little wordy, but hopefully it's clear

justa

yes, it is very powerful.  we had some disagreements on how to use the card in 2 situations:

1) when an additional attack is allowed (example - AA special).  was it intended to allow Absorbing Man the additional attack also?

2) when an additional attack or special is required (example of each - teamwork or ally card).  again, is Absorbing Man required/allowed to play the additional card?

we had finally come to the agreement that the additional attack or card was NOT allowed to be played by him because the card seemed too strong, so that the "acts identical" applied only to the attack value and type, without the extra allowances.  but I was curious as to the creator's intent.

breadmaster

pretty much the same intent.  so no follow ups, but you do use secondary effects, like draws or discards.

here's another MASSIVE card for cerebro...enough to use him? (he does not appear on any locations)


justa

I guess that's another one that changed.  from my records (I built the missing ones for my own use, like I said), it used to be a standard AI - Opponent discard 1 Placed card.  new change is much more effective, even if it's OPD.  enough to use him? - i'd have to work at it to build a worthy team around him to evaluate.  I've always felt that Intellect based teams were at a disadvantage over any other power type.  but I am glad DC forced that stat in to better define characters.

breadmaster

the storyline this one was based off of seems so long ago!


justa

it was a decent storyline.  I thought that Kingpin would have been a better art choice because of the chosen power types, but I couldn't find a pic I liked for him.  I ended up using a gang attack/ambush type pic for the additive effects.  nice addition for the Hand.

breadmaster

not the greatest image, but it fits the card.  a very useful card for an already useful character


justa

#787
funny how I couldn't find any better pics to use for her, either.  I did sacrifice some of the top of her hair so that the width fit the space in the frame.  but we definitely found the card to be a productive little addition for a character that really didn't need much.
I also caught up on the list that's on page 50, so it should be a complete listing of all cards in the set posted up to now.

breadmaster

thanks justa

here's one that is a dandy for the character, and the battlesite


justa

that one is nice, and makes the Morlocks even more "self-defensive".
I always felt Dark Beast deserved his own set of specials, since the 2 Beasts were so different in character.  yet in all my years of looking for homemade OP cards, I've only seen 1 special ever created.  maybe someday i'll give it a go.  (justa not very soon.)

breadmaster

something about this image never sat right with me...maybe it's the red glove against the red skull.  anyways, it fits the theme of the card


justa

yes - I think the person doing the coloring could have used a brighter red on Cap A to differentiate the hand & boots more.  as it is you might think Cap's picking something out of Red Skull's teeth.
another card to keep the 2 character's specials roughly parallel or equivalent.

Arctursa

Is it just me, or did Breadmasters images dissapear from the forum ?

justa

no, Arctursa, its not just you.  even the cards from 3 years ago have disappeared.

Arctursa

Aw man what happened? I was really enjoying those.
