Comic Clix Scenario: Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons's SUPERMAN ANNUAL #11: FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING



Figs Required:
Superman (1x)
Wonder Woman (1x)
Batman (1x)
Robin (1x)
Mongul (1x)

Any of these figs from any set can be used, as long as the team points for the heroes do not exceed 500. I used Superman #001 from the SUPERMAN set at 300 points, and DC10's Wonder Woman (84 points), Batman (63 points), and Robin (52 points), for 499 points. For Mongul, I used WOL week one's #023 (165 points).

Map:
Fortress of Solitude Indoor Map from SUPERMAN

Conditions:
1) Superman begins the game with 5 Incap tokens. The heroes need to remove the tokens from Superman by attacking him. Regardless of damage value, a successful hit can only remove one Incap token from Superman.
2) Mongul begins the game with 4 extra tokens of life. Regardless of damage value, a hit can only remove one life token from Mongul, and it will not make his dial turn. Only when all 4 tokens are removed can his dial be turned.
3) Treat all Mongul's attacks as if he is traited with permanent Precision Strike.
4) If a hero successfully removes an Incap token from Superman, after actions resolve, if Mongul has no action tokens and is not adjacent to an opponent, move Mongul adjacent to the hero from anywhere in the map, and give him a free action to make a close combat attack.
5) When all 5 Incap tokens are removed from Superman, he turns into an active character on the hero player's next turn.
6) When characters are knocked back against walls, objects, blocking and hindering terrain, replace their squares with debris tokens.

Remarks:
Tried my best to be true to the comic book, but the Wonder Woman I used should've been stronger. She took quite a beating in the comic book, while in this scenario, Mongul merely hit the DC10 Wonder Woman twice to KO her off the map. I need a Wonder Woman who has 8 clicks of life, preferably 10! Right now, I'm thinking of the Wonder Woman from the December 2014 JLA OP kit, marked D-022. She's based on the Azzarello-Chiang Wonder Woman so she's not the right sculpt, but she's vicious and will definitely last longer than DC10 WW. She's 150 points, though, so it screws up the balance with Mongul a bit, so I'll probably add two more token to Mongul's life pool. Everyone else is pretty good, but I think we'll eventually need a Mongul fig that's built more like the TRINITY WAR Despero - a real tank!
