Captain America [Fear Itself 201]

WHY I WANTED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE: I always liked this costume and Bucky Barnes as Cap, but it’s the inventive dial for this version of the character that really got me interested. I split the cost of the scenario pack with a fellow player just to get Bucky Cap and some of the pogs.

I WANT TO RUN HIM EVERY WEEK BECAUSE: Actually, I usually forget about this fig entirely until something reminds me of him. Then I can’t stop thinking about him. There’s not a bad click on him and I love the SPs/traits that make him a boon to whole team in general (+1 DV to pals, auto-hit Support on cheaper allies) and one in particular (perma-bonus stats to an ally after he’s KO’d). But…

I DON’T PLAY HIM EACH WEEK BECAUSE: He’s really hard for me to use! He has a great 1st click but the lack of Indomitable hurts. It can also be a little hard to set up some of the SPs, since he’ll have to be damaged to start pumping DVs yet out of base to heal his friends. And I just hate the idea of letting him get KOed.

I’LL FIELD HIM NEXT: Probably any time I both need this version of the character and know he’ll have a teammate around his cost that can benefit from his powers. Recently teamed him with AvX Cap.

Next: another man in blue.
