Today's review is Super Skrull from Supernova

Happy New Years!!!

You know the deal.  The skrulls take the DNA of the Fantastic Four to make a super fighter to defeat them…it just doesn’t work.  Later on he became a hero to his people in the Annihilation event.  Onto the review…

He is a Unique, 150 points, 8 range 1 target, a flier, and a Skrull

Speed:  Any piece that starts with move and shoot is good in my book.  Stealth can help, Plasticity I barely get to use, more move and shoot with charge, then mind control….some fun combo’s there

Attack:  Good values..5 clicks of 10 or higher is good for me…EE works with the RS, super strength, incapacitate, then SS again with charge, then more EE and poison for the fun of it

Defense:  Invuln, then Super Senses, then some random Impervious, then some toughness, and late dial super senses for more fun

Damage:  Decent numbers, should be higher, but the Shape Change is cool, especially with skrull, good luck trying to get a shot off on him

The Good:  Skrull team can come in handy

      I love shape change

      Feat friendly

      Lots of fun abilities

      Can be REALLY annoying

The Bad:   Damage is too low

     Dial is hard to really plan out

     Mind Control, EE, and Incap suck with one target

Feats:   ICWO for damage, Camouflage to make him more annoying, nanobots to help heal

Overall:    I like this guy…in fact…next to Karnak, he is my favorite unique out of Supernova just because he is so fun to play.  When I used him, my opening luck was awful, but he stayed on his last click for 15 turns, thanks to Skrull, Shape Change, and Super Senses.  He can be really hard to kill.  He is not really that destructive, and needs support.  In the right team though, this constant annoyance can stay around for a while.  Team him with a Blackfire and a TK’er and whatever else you want and you are sitting pretty.  Remember, you need to up his damage to make him really worth the points.  Overall, a nice fun piece, and used in the right hands can be very destructive and annoying

Constructed/Unrestricted:  3.5 / 5

Sealed/Draft:  3 / 5

Overall:  3.5 / 5

“Heroclix….they’re cool, addictive, and available….the things practically sell themselves.”
