Went to my first Bizarro Tournament....

It was a 444 point Modern Age, resources allowed. I decided to use the Power Plant, as I think it is really very powerful, it just takes a little more planning.

So since the Bizarro format means you start on the last click and work to the start, I started looking for figures with really nice end dials. There were a lot:

ASM Spiderman 2099 - Cool stop click could do some big damage

WXM Spiral - Has a nice values the entire dial, even post watch list.
WXM Kid Omega - The Phoenix Force clicks are awesome.
WXM Silver Samurai - Has a nice dial.
WXM Strong Guy - Really wanted to use him as he is of my favorite comic characters and I thought if he got hit once, he'd be a beast.
WXM Black King - 11 click dial and his last click has 6 range Hypersonic Speed, 12 AV, 19 DV with Impervious and 5 damage with Close Combat Expert.

And for DC:

TT 037 Dr, Light - I knew I was going to use him. On his second to last click, he has a stop click:

YOU...TOOK...MY...MIND!: Dr. Light can use Super Senses. If this click is revealed due to taking damage from an opponent's attack, stop turning the dial, remove all action tokens from Dr. Light and Dr. Light can't be targeted until next turn. This power can't be ignored.





So. He gets hit for a lot, he will take one damage and then you remove his tokens and he can't be attacked again that round. Next round, he has an 11 AV, with P/pb, 4 damage with Outwit....

It was nice.

I used Dr. Light, Black King and Silver Samurai and had a lot of fun.

To be honest, the Black King did the most in my games, but I was worried. In the first game, I 'burned' a ring to get plus one to my combat stats, which left me with a 13 attack, 20 defense and 6 damage.

I needed a 4 to hit.

I missed.

He missed his next attack, too. But then he went on a tear and did massive damage.

The second game was against Omega Batman and IM3 002 Iron Man. Omega Bats had the utility belt. The belt was misused as the other guy never moved the dial but it was still a fun game. Iron Man went down to a massive attack from Black King and a follow up attack from Silver Samurai.

Dealing with Omega Bats in Stealth was a problem and it came down to Dr, Light and Black ?King trying to hit. Black Kind had taken a massive shot and had a 9AV.

 Using the Power Plant kept my team in it, the Black Light ring is very nice, but the Power Plant is really geared to a ranged team. I had burned the Vortex Beam ring and could have really used the power it granted to knock Omega Bats out of hindering. (Is that legal?)

Anyway, Omega Bats ended up winning (although he was using the belt without rolling it and had prepped it to the +2 slot...)

All in all, the games were still a lot of fun and makes me want to play both Dr, Light and the Black King again. I've used Silver Samurai many times and he's fun to use.

The power plan is really quite powerful...maybe as powerful as the Book?
