Greetings, HeroClix fans,<\/p>\n

Welcome to another exciting preview for the upcoming Marvel HeroClix 15th<\/sup> Anniversary: What If? <\/strong><\/a>set! Today, we\u2019re looking at a figure that you can win at your Friendly Local Game Store by participating in a Release Day Organized Play Event. We are excited to introduce a\u00a0version of Steve Rogers who was able to wield Mighty Mj\u00f6lnir \u2013 The Captain!<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0<\/strong>As a 110-point piece, The Captain<\/strong> features high attack values, high damage output, and a dynamic 7-click dial. In addition to being Indomitable,<\/em> he comes with a range of six squares, which allows you to push him and press the attack. The Captain<\/strong> is a true powerhouse, and he only gets better as we start to dive deep on his diverse dial.<\/p>\n

To start, The Captain<\/strong> sports two traits. The first is called From An Alternate Earth<\/em>. This trait states that if this character is on your sideline, you may give a free action to a friendly character named Captain America<\/strong> or Thor<\/strong> that\u2019s of equal or higher value. You can replace that character with this character on the same click number \u2013 he\u2019s a versatile multi-tool to bring in as a situational attacker, or eschewing that, he can be your primary up front threat. His second trait is called There\u2019s Plenty One Man Can Do\u2026If He\u2019s The Right Man! <\/em>This trait states that before The Captain<\/strong> is given a non-free action, you may knock back any number of adjacent opposing characters 2 squares. Think of the havoc you could cause on multi-level maps or near the edge of a map \u2013 extra damage is always<\/em> a good thing!<\/p>\n

The Captain <\/strong>sports a single special power, called Heads Up, Avenger! I\u2019ve Got a Special Delivery Winging its Way Towards You!<\/em> Appearing on the final three clicks of his damage, this special power allows you to give The Captain <\/strong>a power action and choose a friendly character within range and line of fire. All opposing characters adjacent to the chosen character are knocked back 2 squares from the chosen character\u2019s square. If the chosen character is named Thor<\/strong>, that character can make an attack after actions resolve! He rounds out his dial with the standard powers Charge, Sidestep, Quake, Invulnerability, Toughness<\/em>, and Close Combat Expert.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Captain <\/strong>is one of the most popular incarnations of Captain America<\/strong>, and this dial certainly does the character justice. He can be played in any number of roles \u2013 either as a primary attacker with a lower point team behind him, or in conjunction with a Thor<\/strong> to make use of his special power. He fits in nicely in any occasion, especially when on his Avengers<\/em> or Soldier<\/em> themed teams.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for today, \u2018Clix fans! Be sure to check in next time for more exciting previews as we continue to celebrate the 15th<\/sup> Anniversary<\/a> of HeroClix!
