Greetings HeroClix Fans,<\/p>\n

Welcome to another look into a couple of awesome figures from the upcoming DC Comics HeroClix: 15th<\/sup> Anniversary – Elseworlds<\/strong> set! Today, we\u2019re taking a look at two versions of the Scarlet Speedster himself, The Flash!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Up first is the 018 uncommon figure from the set, a low-cost but high-impact version of The Flash<\/strong> that can be added to your force for a low-cost investment of 60 points. This version of Barry Allen sports 4 clicks of life, has Hypersonic Speed<\/em> across his entire dial, and has Super Senses <\/em>on the first two clicks of his defense. He\u00a0also possesses a trait called Saving the President<\/em>, which states that once per game, if another friendly character that is within 10 squares and line of fire and would be hit by a range attack, you may instead place The Flash<\/strong> in a square adjacent to the target, and that attack misses that target. If you do, for the rest of the game, The Flash\u2019s <\/strong>speed value becomes 0 and he can use Sidestep<\/em> and Outwit.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

Our second take on The Flash<\/strong> is the 030 Rare figure, featuring and right off the bat you can see an array of changes that lead to a change in play style for this version of Barry. Up first, The Flash<\/strong> possesses Improved Movement – Ignores Hindering Terrain. <\/em>He\u2019s also a bit heftier in cost at 110 points, but the return on that investment is a longer dial and a greater array of standard powers \u2013 again including Hypersonic Speed <\/em>across his entire dial, as well as Precision Strike, Super Senses, Regeneration, <\/em>and Outwit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Beyond those standard powers, The Flash<\/strong> carries two traits, as well. His first, called World Without a Superman<\/em>, states that you can modify this character\u2019s attack value by +2 when attacking only characters of 50 points or less. Conversely, modify this character\u2019s attack value by -1 when attacking only character of 150 points or more. His second trait is called A Constant Blur of Motion<\/em>, which states that The Flash<\/strong> can use Energy Shield\/Deflection<\/em>. Additionally, whenever The Flash <\/strong>is missed by an attack, you may immediately place him up to 3 squares away.<\/p>\n

Both versions of The Flash<\/strong> can be played on Central City <\/em>and Speedster <\/em>themed teams, with the 018 figure also able to be played on Flashpoint <\/em>and Scientist <\/em>themed teams, while the 030 version can be played on Justice League<\/em> and Police<\/em> themed teams. Additionally, the 030 also grants you the use of the Police<\/em> team ability.<\/p>\n
