I actually have cards for very few of my figures...they're mostly traded from my mechanics kid, and I'd have to check [fuck, I had to edit spelling] with him to see if he even has the fucking cards. As far as the point values mentioned...I have no idea what the fuck you mean. Never played the fucking game before. Never even watched. I'll just bring all my fucking figures and we can go from there.
At this point I will sign off. And I will stop using 'fuck' and 'fucking,' too.

Oh how the mighty have fallen..word has just reached me of the Hero-Clix tomfoolery game you two reprobates were 'playing' on Thursday night... there's gotta be a law against two drunk gamers having too much fun with anal hemorrhaging crank calls... Gary Gygax is rolling in his grave... tsk tsk tsk.

About Heroclix...
The first set had Cyclops who could hit for 4 clicks of damage w/o moving, or do a running shot for 2 clicks.
The next Cyclops they had, made him do 4 clicks, running shot or no.
Sorry, the damage creep on Heroclix ruined that game. Each expansion seemed to make all previous expansions obsolete, so I stopped playing.

The first cyclops was also a pretty terrible fig even when that was the only set out. He was stacked too heavily on his first click and faded super fast. The next cyclops had a shorter range but also cost more. He also had an atrocious 15 defense which made him MUCH easier to take out than the first cyclops. And even then the new cyclops, while not terrible, wasn't amazing. He got very very very little tournament play. I never ran him, because Hawkeye from the same set was a billion times better, and previous sets had much better options. Hell the most dangerous team I had employed all figures that came long before ultimates hit. The guy who took first at the Wizkids Invitational is lucky Vet Doc Ock was rotated out or I would have made him cry.
I played the tournament scene heavily, and at my peak placed second at the first Wizkids invitational. An invite I earned by dominating the SoCal regional (got a completely free trip to Wizard World and the entire Unleashed set out of my first place victory). In each new set only a very small handful of figures would stand out as equals to past powerhouses like Vet Doc Ock, Experienced Klaw, or Bullseye. And as far as overpowerd figures go, the only figures that were potentially overpowered since the first set's Firelord figs were Vet Black Adam and KC Flash. And even then when properly metagamed Black Adam teams were no problem for me. KC Flash was just retarded because of the 20 defense.
Maybe in your casual play groups the figures might have seemed overpowered, but I assure you among the more competitive players in the sizeable SD tournament scene, powercreep really wasn't an issue as new sets rarely had more than 3-4 figures that could make much more than a ripple in the types of teams that would win in 300 or 400 tourneys. (300 vanilla being the standard for high level tournaments like invitationals)
Just think about what you know about powergaming in 3.5. Double it and that's how much I know about powergaming and metagaming even in Heroclix. I'm not arrogant. I'm just that goddamn good.
In any case, this isn't the heroclix forum. Game on tomorrow. Gary doesn't like heroclix. He figured this out about an hour into it when he cried out, "There's no fucking role playing in this game!!!" 'nuff said. While I still like Heroclix, DnD is much more fun.

True....heroclix has 'no fucking roleplaying!!' and that's a problem for me, since that's why I game. You don't even need the little heroes, just the clicks themselves.
That said...I'll be home and ready for a pick up at 8 tonight.
