Greetings HeroClix Fans!<\/p>\n

Welcome back for today\u2019s Marvel HeroClix:\u00a0Merc$ for Money Fast Forces\u00a0Pack<\/strong> preview!\u00a0 Deadpool\u2019s <\/strong>\u2018copyright infringing\u2019 Heroes For Hire<\/strong> team had to be renamed as the Merc$ for Money<\/strong> and they all wear rainbow matching costumes.\u00a0 Last time we followed the color spectrum and covered the red, orange, and yellow costume wearers; so today we cover the owners of the green, blue, and indigo costumes (With only 6 figures in a Fast Forces pack and 7 colors of the spectrum, there had to be one color not included.\u00a0 The wearer of the violet suit, Terror<\/strong>, is the OP kit prize officially released with the Marvel HeroClix:<\/strong>\u00a0Deadpool & X-Force<\/strong><\/a> set).<\/p>\n<\/div>

Having a guy named Solo<\/strong> on a team seems like an odd match.\u00a0 Being that he was Deadpool\u2019s<\/strong> first employee in his mercenary business franchise it starts to make sense. Especially since Solo<\/strong> is still taking on personal contracts with his trait While I Live, Someone Else Dies!\u00a0 As Long As I Get Paid!.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0At the beginning of the game, you can choose an opposing character and Solo<\/strong> gains +2 to his attack when attacking only that character and he heals 2 clicks when they are KO\u2019d.\u00a0 Solo <\/strong>starts off with a ranged attack focus with a range of 6, Penetrating\/Psychic Blast<\/em>, Super Senses<\/em>, a special damage power Color-Coordinated<\/em> that lets him use Outwit<\/em> but only to counter [GREEN] powers (Charge<\/em>, Super Strength<\/em>, Energy Shield\/Deflection<\/em>, and Enhancement<\/em>), and he switches from Phasing\/Teleport<\/em> to Running Shot<\/em>.\u00a0 For his last three clicks he wants to get in closer to his mark with Sidestep<\/em>, Combat Reflexes<\/em>, and Close Combat Expert<\/em> with a final click of Phasing\/Teleport<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 Solo is a confirmed mercenary with his keyword selections as well with Heroes For Hire, Six Pack,<\/em> and Soldier<\/em>.\u00a0 Just like his costume, he likes his greenbacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Marvel<\/a><\/span><\/div>

Foolkiller <\/strong>is playing the blues with is trait as Deadpool\u2019s New Therapist<\/em> that lets him use Perplex\u00a0<\/em>but only to target a character named Deadpool<\/strong>, but if it is an opposing Deadpool<\/strong> he can modify any value except damage by -2. With a shorter dial than the rest of his Heroes For Hire<\/em> keyword teammates, he has\u00a0Toughness<\/em> for his whole dial to give him a little more life than four clicks would suggest.\u00a0 Foolkiller <\/strong>has a 6 range value with and starts with Sidestep<\/em>, Precision Strike<\/em>, and his version of Color Coordinated <\/em>special on damage that gives him Outwit<\/em> but only to counter [BLUE] powers (Mind Control<\/em>, Incapacitate<\/em>, Barrier<\/em>, and Probability Control<\/em>).\u00a0 He finishes up with Flurry<\/em> and Exploit Weankess<\/em> to give him some close combat specific options.<\/p>\n

Continuing along the rainbow\u2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Marvel<\/a><\/span><\/div>

With Heroes For Hire <\/em>and Wild Pack <\/em>keywords,\u00a0Madcap <\/strong>completes this Fast Forces Pack<\/strong>\u00a0wearing an indigo colored suit.\u00a0 Madcap<\/strong> is going to drive your opposition crazy with Mind Control <\/em>and Super Senses <\/em>coupled with his specific version of Color-Coordinated <\/em>granting him Outwit<\/em> but only to counter [INDIGO] powers (Force Blast, Smoke Cloud, Willpower,<\/em> and Close Combat Expert<\/em>).\u00a0 On the back half of his dial he gets a little jumpy with Leap\/Climb<\/em>, Probability Control<\/em>, and the defense special power Does Everyone On This Team Have A Healing Factor?\u00a0 <\/em>giving him Toughness<\/em> and Regeneration <\/em>with a minimum result of 1, just like his teammates Deadpool<\/strong> and Slapstick<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To put them together as a team, you can play Deadpool<\/strong> at his 50 point level to fit all 6 characters in this pack at an even 300 points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At that rate, you have a great deal of short distance mobility as over half the team has Sidestep, or access to move and attack type powers. They also have a steady though limited, range of powers to use Outwit against with their Color-Coordinated special powers (consider that limited selection of powers to counter as a cost savings feature to keep everyone at a bargain of 50 points each)! There are plenty of range combat options with Solo and Deadpool\u2019s Penetrating\/Psychic Blast, Deadpool\u2019s Enhancement, a Pulsewave\/team taxi option with Stingray. The rest of their powers consist of a potential Probability Controller, and loads of healing options. For healing, more than half the team has a Regeneration ability with a boost. Solo\u2019s trait lets him heal two clicks when a target that he chooses during the game is KO\u2019d, as well as Deadpool\u2019s trait that lets him heal a click when a friendly character with the Heroes For Hire keyword KO\u2019s an opposing character. Choose a map with several chokepoints, clear corridors, and hidey holes; like the Morlock Tunnels<\/strong>, or the WizKids Office Premium Map<\/strong>, and these mercenaries will be hard to put down, synergize well together, make bank, and look good while doing it.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for the\u00a0Marvel HeroClix: Merc$ for Money Fast Forces<\/strong>.\u00a0 Be sure to log in to the WizKids Info Network <\/strong><\/a>to find \u00a0tournaments for the\u00a0Marvel HeroClix: Deadpool and X-Force<\/a><\/strong> and other constructed format tournaments near you where you can win the Terror<\/strong> Limited Edition <\/em>figure in the violet suit to complete Deadpool\u2019s Heroes For Hire\/Merc$ For Money team<\/strong>!.<\/p>\n

Until next time, may the fourth wall break for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>
