Today's review is Wasp from Avengers
Today we are going to review both versions of Wasp we get in
this set. The old wasp was a cheap taxi with a huge defense
and free movement in both her versions. Now we get the
original Avenger and Ultimates versions.
First up is the Avengers Wasp
She is a rookie, 37 points, 5 range 1 target, 5 clicks of
life, a flier, no AE, and Avenger team

Speed: Low numbers with no powers…whoops
Attack: A single click of 9 followed by single
target incap with low numbers
Defense: Finally, something good, stays high the
whole time, SS can keep her alive
Damage: Low with no powers…great
The Good: High defense
Avengers team
5 range
The Bad:
Single target incap
Low numbers all around
Why use her over Vet Hive Trooper?
Feats: Thunderbolts or Alpha Flight and that is all
Overall: Well, what we get here is a semi-cheap taxi
with very limited attack ability. With her lack of move and
shoot, she will not get the first attack off. With her low
numbers, she will probably not hit that attack or do enough
damage to be worth it. She cannot even really taxi a piece
out too far, being just out of range of tieing up those 10
range pieces. I would only use Alpha flight on her, just to
up the attack and no drive up the cost. I guess she shows
how broken Spymaster is, his numbers are ridiculous for 29
points. Use her on avengers teams and that is all.
Constructed/Unrestricted: 2 / 5
Sealed/Draft: 2.5 / 5
Now on to the Ultimates version
She is experienced, 49 points, 4 range 1 target, 6 clicks of
life, a flier, no AE, and Ultimates

Speed: Even lower numbers, why stealth at the end?
Attack: still only a click of 9 for 50 points…not
good
Defense: An extra click of super senses can help if
your good with one die
Damage: She flies, so she can always use RCE, damage
really isn’t bad
The Good: High Defense and useable damage
Late dial stealth to
keep from being killed off
Ultimates team
Cheapest piece with
Ultimates team
The Bad:
Low numbers on movement and attack
Will not do anything special in a game
Feats: Uhh….Nanobots if you want, I wouldn’t use any
Overall: Wow, she kind of reminds me of the old
Xplosion Iceman with a better team ability. She is even
less useful of a taxi than the rookie version, but at least
this sculpt has eyes drawn on. Use her on ultimates teams
only and teams abusing ultimates team.
Constructed/Unrestricted: 1.5 / 5
Sealed/Draft: 2 / 5
Wasp Overall: 2 / 5
“Heroclix….they’re cool, addictive, and available….the things
practically sell themselves.”
