No. 2

Mr. Mxyzptlk [Superman/Wonder Woman 060]

So Mr. M has a trait where he can roll a die and store the result on his card to replace a later die roll just about any time, anywhere. The ability to take the random away from die rolls is unbelievably strong. There’s simply no bad result.

• 1-2: Swapping an opponent’s die for one of these numbers will almost always turn a hit to a miss. Possibly a critical one. And it’ll blunt a Blade roll.
• 3: Good for cursing enemy d6 rolls or getting that must-heal-SOMETHING Regen on your part
• 4: Need that breakaway or Regen? This’ll do. A 4 also helps nudge those attack rolls to success.
• 5-6: Guarantee that Leadership, that BCF damage, that Support/Regen, that must-land Super Senses/Shape Change.

He needs no line of fire or range to use this trait.

Mr. Mxy also stays on the move with his Quintessence TA and Phasing/Teleport SP with the ability to use that free when he’s got two tokens. That is, if you don’t just have him carried by larger characters. On every other click, he can Pulse Wave that only tokens hit characters of his choice or make a character within 3 squares any size.

But all that is just gravy. Mr. Mxyzptlk’s ability to screw with the dice makes it difficult to lose a game when running him. That’s why, despite his lack of real offensive skills, he’s Heroclixin’s clear choice for No. 2 clix of 2015.

Before we announce our not-so-surprising No. 1 selection, we’ll share Heroclixin’s Honorable Mentions: Figs that flirted with making the Top Ten but fell just short.
