Marvel: Sinister

Gerr why does the lousy marvel set get to be the villain themed one?!

The mail away is Venom which is quite cool.

I like the classic Wolverine sculpt too.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Thank goodness--that actually makes it a really good power, instead of the Official Worst Power In The Game.

So when they beef something up like this, do they just errata up the point cost of all the previous figs with that power?  Or are they just suddenly much better?  Or are they all now retired?

They were all formerly unplayable, so I think they just leave them as they are.

ya they're not changing the point costs, also several other powers are getting make overs so here's hoping for Shape Change (Seth has said that SC is his least favorite power in the game).

Along with shape change, I'd like to see super strength changed so that it's not so dependent on objects.

Spidey's very flexible. He'd be excellent for erotic dancing.
