Greetings HeroClix fans!<\/p>\n

Continuing our celebration of 15 years of HeroClix we have another Marvel HeroClix: 15th<\/sup> Anniversary \u2013 What If?<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0character to preview straight from a classic issue of Marvel\u2019s What If?<\/p>\n

Today we wonder What If Hulk was possessed by the Venom alien symbiote?<\/p>\n

\"Marvel<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Spider-Man<\/strong> obtained the alien symbiote costume that enhanced his spider-like abilities during the first Secret War<\/strong> on the Battleworld planet.\u00a0 In the issue of What If?<\/strong> that is the inspiration for this figure,\u00a0Spider-Man <\/strong>waited too long to seek help from Reed Richards<\/strong> in removing the symbiote and it took control of him, feeding off of his life energy and aging him at an accelerated rate.\u00a0 After Spider-Man <\/strong>died of such an advanced biological age, the suit bonded with Hulk<\/strong> and began drawing the gamma radiation from Bruce Banner<\/strong> instead of aging him.\u00a0 The symbiote eventually found a new host in Thor<\/strong> after defeating him in combat but left Banner <\/strong>\u2018cured\u2019 of being the Hulk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This figure, one of the four chase figures in the Marvel HeroClix: 15th<\/sup> Anniversary \u2013 What If?<\/strong> set, brings the best of a \u2018Hulk<\/strong>\u2019 dial and a \u2018Venom<\/strong>\u2019 dial into one dangerously \u2018hangry\u2019 package.\u00a0 With the simple Brute<\/em> and Monster<\/em> keywords,\u00a0Venom Hulk<\/strong> can be fielded at two point values.\u00a0 At 190 points Venom Hulk <\/strong>picks his own appetizers with a high movement value Leap\/Climb, Super Strength, Impervious,<\/em> and the special damage power Engulfing Tendrils <\/em>that lets him use Poison<\/em> and gives him a range value of 4 and can place the hit target of his ranged attack adjacent to himself after actions resolve.\u00a0 Use that to make the most of his Indomitable<\/em> ability that grants him Willpower<\/em> and Alien Symbiote <\/em>trait that grants him Plasticity<\/em>, Shape Change<\/em>, and the ability to automatically break away for movement.\u00a0 Rope them in closer and hold them there with Plasticity<\/em> to make his toxic gamma breath lay on the Poison <\/em>damage.\u00a0 After Venom Hulk <\/strong>takes a decent hit, he gains Charge<\/em>, Battle Fury<\/em>, and Symbiotic Bonding<\/em> on defense that lets him use Super Senses<\/em>, Toughness<\/em>, and Regeneration <\/em>to keep him from tapping out before the main course.<\/p>\n

If you only pay 100 points for Venom Hulk<\/strong> he starts on his blue line on Click #6 with Flurry, Super Strength, Invincible, Battle Fury,<\/em> and his best attack and damage combat values; 12 attack and 5 damage.\u00a0 With Flurry <\/em>and potential extra damage from an object held with Super Strength<\/em>, Venom Hulk<\/strong> could deal out a total of 12 damage in one round if the dice decide to work with you!\u00a0 On his last four clicks Venom Hulk <\/strong>has a special power on attack called Leave Me Alone! <\/em>that lets him use Quake<\/em> and Super Strength<\/em> but when he Quakes<\/em> he may use his printed damage value instead of the normal 2 damage that goes with Quake<\/em>.\u00a0 He finishes up this dial with Symbiote Bonding <\/em>again to make sure he can stick around for dessert.<\/p>\n
