Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens and the Halloween-y focus, today we’re looking at one of the first character-carded figures, Gargoyle of the Defenders:

 

He holds it pretty well between his arms and his chest. 

Be back Thursday for another spooky edition of Token Totin’!

Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens and the Halloween-y focus, today we’re looking at a monster “born on a Monday,” SOLOMON GRUNDY. First, here’s the currently Modern Age version :

He holds it the way a lot of figs do: wedged upright between the stat slot and his chin. It makes seeing the powers a slight pain, but not much of one, in my book.

Still, the Golden Age-legal Grundy in Hypertime does it better:

And yeah, he holds it better still.

Be back tomorrow AND Thursday for more monstrous and spooky Token Totin’ this week!

Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens, in keeping with the Halloween-y mini-theme we’re looking at the savage were-beast of the Canadian wild, Wendigo:

 

It’s easy to fit the token in his fingers. Be back next Tuesday for another monstrous edition of Token Totin’!

Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens and the Halloween-y focus, today we’re looking at one…well…TWO characters…sort of. It’s the double-faced Bi-Beast and his later incarnation, Skull-Brother:

 

He/They holds/hold a token just dandy with his/their right hand/hands.

Be back Thursday for another spooky edition of Token Totin’!

Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens and the Halloween-y focus, today we’re looking at a kid dressing up as Batman, sorta:

Cinch the token under his LEFT armpit…seems to work a little better.

Be back next week for another spooky edition of Token Totin’!

We in the U.S. look back on 9/11, the day 10 years ago that changed everything. One thing that event made stark to us is how very much we are continually indebted to the heroes in our midst — the first responders. The ones who, while the rest of us run from danger, are running toward it.

And although this describes any given superhero most of the time, too, there’s something more noble about the characters who are sworn to protect and serve when they’re not in the super-suits as well. In HeroClix, they’re represented by the Police keyword.

_____________________

Some criteria:

  • I’m looking at HEROES. No bad cops allowed. (I’m thinking of you, AA Zoom.)
    RRRAAATTTTSS!!!”
  • I’m also ranking them according to how well they work with other Police, it being one of the more selective generic keywords.

Be here starting next Monday for the first of the Top Ten of Heroclixin’s Finest!

Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens. With the Superman set right around the corner, here’s his half-clone, Superboy:

 

Superboy holds it, sorta, on his chest or under his chin. No Token Totin’ next week, as it’s time for another end-of-month Top Ten list. (Haven’t quite decided what it’s going to be exactly, though!)

Continuing this feature (replacing “My Custom Mods”) in which I talk a bit on how I selected artwork for feats and battlefield conditions that didn’t come with art, originally. This Monday, let’s look at Ordinary Day from Icons.

Oh, I didn’t do Ordinary Day from Icons. I forgot there even WAS an Ordinary Day in Icons. So much for BFCs in the set. Let’s move on to the feats!

 

This much-needed boon to swimmers was quickly nerfed by a ruling saying certain team abilities ignored it. (That’s been rectified, happily.)

Being an Aquaman fan, I didn’t have a great amount of trouble digging up a solid image. This one, I believe, was scanned from issue 16 of the last completed series. I then flipped it to show the character swimming deeper rather than toward the surface.
