Greetings HeroClix Fans!<\/p>\n

Welcome back as we continue our series of previews for our upcoming Marvel HeroClix:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>Avengers\/Defenders War\u00a0<\/strong>set!\u00a0 Today, we point (heh!) you to a super villain whose unsuccessful criminal career left him so discouraged that he made a deal with the Avengers to surrender his battle suit so that it wouldn\u2019t fall into the wrong hands. \u00a0We present to you another character making his HeroClix debut,\u00a0Porcupine<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/div>

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

Porcupine<\/strong> doesn\u2019t come with the notoriety of other villains, but he does have a low point value of 40 and a dial that\u2019s five clicks deep. He also has the standard speed, attack, defense, and damage symbols.\u00a0 His power set is geared towards close combat, and his two opening clicks of Plasticity<\/em> make him a difficult foe to shake. \u00a0However, Porcupine<\/strong>\u2019s main strength is in his battle suit, which lets him absorb some damage dealt to him via Toughness<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Porcupine<\/strong>\u2019s battle suit is covered with metal quills that can be used offensively and defensively.\u00a0 These metal protrusions are represented on each click of Porcupine<\/strong>\u2019s dial as a special power called Razor-Tipped Quills<\/em>, which deals an attacker 1 unavoidable damage if Porcupine<\/strong> is hit with a close attack.\u00a0 With Plasticity<\/em> and Toughness<\/em> backing up Porcupine<\/strong>\u2019s Razor-Tipped Quills<\/em>, opponents may want to rethink any plans to hit him up close with anything other than a KO punch. That is unless they don\u2019t mind getting pinged for a retaliatory click of damage and having their chances of breakaway drastically drop.<\/p>\n

As a nod to the various criminal organizations he\u2019s joined, Porcupine<\/strong> has the Emissaries of Evil<\/em>, Lethal Legion<\/em>, Maggia<\/em> and Soldier<\/em> keywords as options if you wish to include him on a themed team.\u00a0 However, Porcupine<\/strong> makes a viable choice for any team as a harassing tie-up piece thanks to his power layout. Moreover, his low point value leaves plenty of room for other attackers and support characters.<\/p>\n
