Greetings HeroClix Fans!<\/p>\n

We are celebrating 15 years of the #1 selling collectible miniatures game HeroClix, the game that brings your favorite heroes and villains to the tabletop for fast-paced strategic excitement, by releasing a very special set of DC HeroClix figures. DC Comics HeroClix: 15th<\/sup> Anniversary -Elseworlds<\/strong><\/a> brings DC characters straight from the pages of some of DC Comics best-selling alternate universe and alternate reality storylines.<\/p>\n

Today, we visit the familiar Kingdom Come<\/em> story to ask King Aquaman of Atlantis<\/strong> how his realm fares in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>

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

The beautifully drawn, painted, and written Kingdom Come<\/em> 4 issue mini-series is set in a future where overpowered, amoral, and self-interested vigilantes clash with the traditional superheroes like Superman <\/strong>and Wonder Woman. Arthur Curry<\/strong> passed on his role as Aquaman <\/strong>to Garth<\/strong> and took the mantle of King Orin of Atlantis<\/strong> with his full attention and dedication. Wonder Woman<\/strong> came to him to help create a super-powered gulag prison to contain the out of control vigilantes she apprehended, but he refused her request wanting nothing further to do with surface-world problems.<\/p>\n

King Aquaman<\/strong> has several features in common with other characters from the Kingdom Come<\/em> storyline that have made their way into HeroClix<\/strong> in the last few years. Firstly, he possesses the Kingdom Come<\/em> team ability that gives him the ability to dodge a successful ranged attack from another character without the Kingdom Come <\/em>team symbol. It works essentially like Super Senses.<\/em> He also has the We Will Make Things Right Again <\/em>trait that prevents any figures that do not have the Kingdom Come<\/em> team symbol from modifying his combat values or from countering his powers and abilities. He is also Unique <\/em>and can be played at two point values; 110 points for his full six click dial or at 20 points if you play him Isolated From This Violent World <\/em>where he begins the game on Click #11<\/em> placed 6 squares from any starting area and not adjacent to another character. While on Click #11<\/em>, if he is your only character on the map or if an opponent scores a Critcal Hit <\/em>on one of your figures, you may turn him to Click #6<\/em> to make a last ditch effort to join the fight. Though he cannot be moved or placed while in Click #11,<\/em> he does have Invulnerability<\/em> and a high defense to keep a watchful eye on the battlefield and manipulate it to your advantage with his special power on damage,\u00a0I Have Responsibilities You Cannot Even Dream Of<\/em>. This power lets him place a square of water terrain <\/em>in any clear square within 8 squares of King Aquaman <\/strong>at the beginning of your turn. Additionally, he can take a free action to place an opponent that is in water terrain<\/em> within 8 squares into an adjacent square. As he slowly floods the map, he can start nudging opposing characters out of position, a square at a time.<\/p>\n

At his full 110-point value, King Aquaman <\/strong>shows everyone why they better not mess around with the\u00a0future ruler<\/em> of Atlantis<\/em>! He has a strong close combat focus opening up with Charge<\/em>, a lofty 12 attack value, Exploit Weakness<\/em>, and Invulnerability<\/em>. He can ignore water terrain for movement with the Dolphin <\/em>movement symbol, and he can ignore pushing damage with Indomitable<\/em>. Mid-dial, he goes from making calculated attacks that deal penetrating damage to brute muscle with Super Strength<\/em> and Toughness<\/em>. For his last two clicks, he gets his wits about him again as he uses Sidestep<\/em> to precisely position himself for devastating Blades\/Claws\/Fangs<\/em> attacks with Exploit Weakness <\/em>representing his unmatched skills with his royal trident.<\/p>\n
