Greetings HeroClix fans!<\/p>\n

We are celebrating 15 years of HeroClix, the fantastic game that brings your favorite heroes and villains to your tabletop for fast-paced strategic excitement, by releasing a very special set of Marvel HeroClix figures.\u00a0 The Marvel HeroClix: 15th<\/sup> Anniversary What If?<\/strong> set has Marvel characters like you\u2019ve never seen them before. These characters come straight from the pages of classic issues of Marvel\u2019s What If?<\/strong> series that takes readers to alternate universes to see how things change if events happened differently in the Marvel Universe.<\/p>\n

Today, we wonder What If Thor<\/strong> was a thrall of Seth<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<\/div>

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

With the help of the Time Twisters<\/strong>, Seth<\/strong> overpowered Odin<\/strong> and defeated Asgard in the same universe as Earth 9260.\u00a0 Several of Thor\u2019s <\/strong>allies were killed in the fight while he and the rest of his fighting companions were imprisoned and toyed with by Seth<\/strong> until a disguised Immortus<\/strong> and his multi-universe allies Dr. Doom<\/strong>,\u00a0Irondroid<\/strong>, and vampire Wolverine<\/strong> could liberate Asgard.<\/p>\n

Coming in at 105 points with the Asgardian <\/em>and Mystical<\/em> keywords, this Thor<\/strong> means to stay close to his captors and do their bidding with long-range attacks.\u00a0 He has the Flight<\/em> symbol and a range value of 7. He switches from a starting slot of Running Shot<\/em> to Sidestep<\/em> for his middle dial and finishes with Running Shot<\/em> again.\u00a0 His mobility options overlap with his attack power options with Pulse Wave<\/em> and Penetrating\/Psychic Blast<\/em>.\u00a0 Defensively, he starts with a click of Invincible<\/em> followed by Invulnerability <\/em>to reduce damage and finishes with three clicks of Energy Shield\/Deflection <\/em>to keep himself from being sniped too easily.<\/p>\n

Though he lacks the use of Willpower,<\/em> this Thor<\/strong> can become a regular cannon that can shoot every turn with his special power on damage Under Seth\u2019s Thrall<\/em>.\u00a0 If players give an adjacent friendly character with the Mystical<\/em> keyword and a point value of 50 or more a double power action that deals no pushing damage, Thor<\/strong> can make a free close or ranged attack.\u00a0 If players keep characters that meet the point value and keyword requirements close and pile around some lower point figures with Enhancement<\/em> or Empower<\/em> or ones that give attack bonuses like the Hydra<\/strong> and SHIELD <\/strong>agents, then Thor<\/strong> can deal massive amounts of damage every turn without pushing!<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading!\u00a0 Join us again as we reveal more exciting alternate reality characters and highlight strategies and team builds from the Marvel HeroClix: 15th<\/sup> Anniversary What If? <\/strong>set and visit the WizKids Info Network<\/a> to find upcoming Release Day and Colossal OP events near you!<\/p>\n

Until next time, we bid thee Odin\u2019s favor!<\/p>\n<\/div>
