Nighthawk [Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD 59b]

Outsiders, with its ability to shut off modifications, is one of the more potent team abilities, so it was wisely not allowed to be copied.

Nighthawk here is just like a team full of wild cards using Outsiders. Except not needing line of fire. Or range. Or even an action.

Perplex. Close Combat Expert. Ranged Combat Expert. Energy Shield/Deflection. Combat Reflexes. Empower. Enhancement. Super Strength. SHIELD TA. All useless unless he’s next to you. And with ESD and Shape Change that improves with adjacent allies, he’s going to be difficult to get next to.

His only weakness is that his Outwit means you’ll be tempted to bring him closer to the action, where he could become vulnerable. But at just 65 points, he’s not a great percentage of your team. One can afford to risk his neck or hold him safe in the backfield without ruining one’s game. And that makes Primehawk here the No. 5 figure of 2015.
