All of the figures in this Fast Forces come in at a svelte 50 points; easy for team-building with a wide range of options.\u00a0 All five of the original\u00a0X-Men<\/strong>\u00a0are represented and have the\u00a0All New X-Men<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Past<\/em>\u00a0keywords, the\u00a0X-Men\u00a0<\/strong>team ability and a trait;\u00a0Time Locked<\/strong>, that prevents opposing characters from using\u00a0Probability Control<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0on attack rolls either made by or targeting themselves.<\/p>\n Leading off the new adventures of yesterday\u2019s X-Men as they encounter today\u2019s matured X-Men we have\u00a0Cyclops<\/strong>, the team\u2019s natural leader.<\/p>\n Cyclops<\/strong>\u00a0sports almost a full dial of\u00a0Leadership<\/em>\u00a0to help boost your team\u2019s action total.\u00a0 Defensively, he starts with\u00a0Energy Shield\/Deflection\u00a0<\/em>to keep him safe from return fire as he snipes from 7 Range away before switching to\u00a0Willpower<\/em>. What makes him interesting, and perhaps more dangerous than his dial suggests, is his special speed power,\u00a0Precise Optic Blast,<\/em>\u00a0that lets\u00a0Cyclops<\/strong>\u00a0use\u00a0Force Blast\u00a0<\/em>normally or, if he has no action tokens, he can use it as a free action which\u00a0allows him to choose the direction of knockback any time he knocks a character back for any reason.<\/p>\n Up next on the\u00a0Marvel HeroClix: All-New X-Men Fast Forces<\/strong>\u00a0roster we have the brains and brawn of the team, the\u00a0Beast<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In addition to the keywords he shares with his other original\u00a0X-Men<\/strong>\u00a0brethren,\u00a0Beast<\/strong>\u00a0is also a\u00a0Scientist<\/em>.\u00a0 With a high movement value and\u00a0Leap\/Climb,<\/em>\u00a0Beast\u00a0<\/strong>can get into position to tie up your opponents and keep them busy with trying to breach his high close combat defense value with\u00a0Combat Reflexes<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Perplex,<\/em>\u00a0and perhaps hold out to deal some big damage with\u00a0Close Combat Expert<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Lastly today, we have the team transportation,\u00a0Angel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Angel is pretty basic with the\u00a0Flight<\/em>\u00a0ability,\u00a0Energy Shield\/Deflection<\/em>, and\u00a0Sidestep<\/em>\u00a0but his second trait,\u00a0Swooping In,\u00a0<\/em>suddenly makes these\u00a0X-Men<\/strong>\u00a0surprisingly unpredictable on the tabletop. For the cost of a power action, Angel can move half his speed value and either he or a friendly character with the\u00a0All New X-Men<\/em>\u00a0keyword that he carried can make a close attack\u2014 this essentially gives him a full dial of\u00a0Charge<\/em>\u00a0or the ability to drop a teammate off to make the punch instead of him.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all for today, HeroClix fans!
