America's Greatest Legacy (0) - America's Newst Legacy (0) - America's Finest Legacy (1) - Iron Legacy(0)

The fact we know Finest Legacy dies in normal timeline and seeing how his daughter dying will cause him to become a villan. I really want to see the fall of Finest Legacy and who eventually kills the Finest Legacy. Also gameplay wise a great leader.

Wraith (1) - Wratih Price of Fredom (0) - Rook City Wraith (0)

The classic homage to Batman makes me love the art on this card.

Fanatic (1) - Redeemer Fanatic (0)

Just love the original art for Fanatic.

Ra(0) - Ra Horus of Two Horizon (1)

Great character evolution like that he is more experienced and doesn't. Plus classic Hero cape.

Visionary (0) - Dark Visionary(1)

The toring soul who people say is regular Visionary just makes this version so much cooler

Tachyon (1) -  Team Leader Tachyon (0)

Love the original concept of speedster. Especially after reading the Freedom Four Annual

Absolute Zero (1) - Elemental Wrath AZ (0)

The original armored AZ still has my liking despite the Elemental  AZ is easier to use.

Bunker (1) - Engine of War (0)

His ability may be bad but his artwork of bullets just bouncing off is amazing.

Tempest(0) - Freedom Tempest (1)

Lightning for arm is pretty cool. Also the extra draw ability does allow him to get to healing/ongoing destruction when needed.

Haka(0) - Eternal Haka (1)

Nothing is cooler than a guy that can't die to pick up reading as a Hobby. His lore that the library gets destroyed is only worse.

Unity (0) - Golem Unity (1)

Haven't had a chance to play but the fact she becomes full golem on her incapacitated side and dealing damage really fits thematically. (ie. Taking apart herself to build the golems needed to stop a villan) Also allowing HP to be a resource is a cool mechanic.

Baron Blade (1) - Mad Bomber Baron Blade (0)

Always so much easier to introduce the game and have people care when you are trying to stop a bad guy drawing the moon into the ground

Omnitron  (0) - Cosmic Omnitron (0) - OmnitronX (1)

Nothing like a twist on Skynet when he realize he needs to destroy himself because he thought empathy is what was needed.

Hmm, Perhaps it would be a good idea for you to just tally them at the top, that way multiple version dont get created when two people post at the same time. 

 

 

America's Greatest Legacy (0) - America's Newst Legacy (1) - America's Finest Legacy (1) - Iron Legacy(0)

It was hard to pick between Newest and Iron Legacy. I LOVE when heroes go all "Justice Lords" (I call them that because of that episode of the justice league where the entire league does that. Ironically the only people that can stop them are their past selves from another universe). Newest Legacy basically plays as Superman. High(est) base damage, combined with incredible durability make for a very fun character. 

Wraith (2) - Wratih Price of Fredom (0) - Rook City Wraith (0)

I like this base power the most. Her base power is not one that is just used at the beginning and never used again. It is not a set up power and it is not a power that has a better version in the deck, that and the homage to Batman makes me love this one most.

Fanatic (1) - Redeemer Fanatic (1)

I prefer Redeemer. More armor = better for characters designed to fight imo. This base power also gives you better control over how and when you want to kill yourself for the good of the team.

Ra(0) - Ra Horus of Two Horizon (2)

He doesnt get a better version from his deck and this power removes the one thing that I dont like about RA; not having the cards you need. I could do without the beard tho. 

Visionary (0) - Dark Visionary(2)

Since I rarely play visionary, I'd have to go with dark. I like her power more. I would actually include the dreamer in this, and she would get my vote. She is a version of Visionary after all. 

Tachyon (2) -  Team Leader Tachyon (0)

I prefer regular Tach because TLT feels like cheating.......

Absolute Zero (2) - Elemental Wrath AZ (0)

Elemental Wrath does allow you to be useful in a game with constant equip wipes, but I prefer to be able to tank as well as deal damage.

Bunker (2) - Engine of War (0)

I prefer Initialize, there is no game where that power is useless the whole time. 

Tempest(0) - Freedom Tempest (2)

I like this one, partially because it makes it easier to get his superior deck power quickly and partially because of his lighting arm. The incap side is saddening tho. 

Haka(0) - Eternal Haka (2)

Power that at its worst is initialize and at best draw 3 discard 1. 

Unity (0) - Golem Unity (2)

I like Golem unity better. It allows me to actually use the most of the equip in the deck rather then trash it for bot fodder. 

Baron Blade (1) - Mad Bomber Baron Blade (1)

I like Baron Blade, and Mad Bomber feels like a nice challenge compared to his original

Omnitron  (0) - Cosmic Omnitron (0) - OmnitronX (2)

I LOVE villain turned hero. I love how his deck plays. I love how well they translated his villain deck into a hero deck. 

Thanks for your suggestion. Main reason I made each poster be responsible is so even if I don't update properly people can continue to score.

I would suggest that posted later to update the votes.

I would also update the main post when I get the chance.

 

Thanks for pointing out that I forgot Dreamer. She is definitely allowed so I would change your vote to allow that. Updated the score below.

 

America's Greatest Legacy (0) - America's Newst Legacy (1) - America's Finest Legacy (1) - Iron Legacy(0)

Wraith (2) - Wratih Price of Fredom (0) - Rook City Wraith (0)

Fanatic (1) - Redeemer Fanatic (1)

Ra(0) - Ra Horus of Two Horizon (2)

Visionary (0) - Dark Visionary(1) - Dreamer (1)

Tachyon (2) -  Team Leader Tachyon (0)

Absolute Zero (2) - Elemental Wrath AZ (0)

Bunker (2) - Engine of War (0)

Tempest(0) - Freedom Tempest (2)

Haka(0) - Eternal Haka (2)

Unity (0) - Golem Unity (2)

Baron Blade (1) - Mad Bomber Baron Blade (1)

Omnitron  (0) - Cosmic Omnitron (0) - OmnitronX (2)

Allow me to throw my two cents in.

America's Greatest Legacy (0) - America's Newest Legacy (1) - America's Finest Legacy (1) - Iron Legacy(1)

I haven't actually had the chance to play against the Final Legacy, btu I just love the concept. An evil superman? Yes please! And his story is just so sad and tragic, and actually makes so much sense that it's just....ugh.

Wraith (3) - Wratih Price of Fredom (0) - Rook City Wraith (0)

Classic Batman is the way to go!

Fanatic (1) - Redeemer Fanatic (2)

I like Redeemer's look better, plus her base power is better as well. So much easier to get Wrathful Retribution (and to stay alive long enough to use it beautifully) with it. Also, she looks more like an avenging angel, coming back to kick Apostate ass.

Ra(0) - Ra Horus of Two Horizon (3)

Beard Ra is awesome! Better power, better look.

Visionary (0) - Dark Visionary(1) - Dreamer (2)

Again, I haven't had a chance to play against her (Obviously, I don't have my ST yet) but I love the idea of the Dreamer. Saving her from herself, literally battling the monster under her bed, etc. Kind of makes you feel like a real hero.

Tachyon (2) -  Team Leader Tachyon (1)

I like her BECAUSE she feels like cheating, a bit. Feels like a true leader. And as posted in another thread, her incap side is, for me, one of the worst, saddest frames in all comic book history.

Absolute Zero (3) - Elemental Wrath AZ (0)

He looks *cooler*.

....see what I did there?

Bunker (3) - Engine of War (0)

Although Engine of War's power is stronger imo, I like the original Bunker's art better.

Tempest (1) - Freedom Tempest (2)

I...always found lightning arm to be...iffy. Weird. Not that awesome. Imagine shaking his hand. It would be literally shocking.

Haka(0) - Eternal Haka (3)

My favorite hero! Eternal Haka makes set up and powering up his Haka of Battle for a glorious 25+ hit Mere so much faster. Also, I just love the fact that he seems so chill, reading T.S. Elliot while a whole bunch of monsters are hammering on his door.

Unity (1) - Golem Unity (2)

I always found Unity cute, and I am not having a crush on a robot.

Baron Blade (2) - Mad Bomber Baron Blade (1)

A classic Lex Luthor/Dr. Doom pulling the moon into the Earth to end mankind as we know it, versus.... a hobo with a penchant for fireworks. No contest, though of course mechanically, I like Mad Bomber better :P

Omnitron  (0) - Cosmic Omnitron (0) - OmnitronX (3)

Again, no chance to play him, but I never really liked playing against Omni too much anyway; I think it would be better to play AS him.

America's Greatest Legacy (0) - America's Newest Legacy (2) - America's Finest Legacy (1) - Iron Legacy(1)

Nothing better than having the Legacy Ring, Motivational Charge, Surge of Strength, and Inspiring Presence to allow Newest Legacy is to deal out 9 damage every round.

Wraith (4) - Wratih Price of Fredom (0) - Rook City Wraith (0)

I'm not a fan of RC Wraith at all, I do however enjoy Freedom Wraith, but original Wraith is just so great.

Fanatic (1) - Redeemer Fanatic (3)

Thanks to being able to heal whenever makes it easier to control her health, so with a little luck you could start you turn with only 1 health and use Wrathful Retribution for 30 points!

Ra(0) - Ra Horus of Two Horizon (4)

Since his base power gets replaced by Conflag or Tornado anyways it is nice being able to move into your deck and get to those powers faster and even get the combo of doom in hand.

Visionary (0) - Dark Visionary(2) - Dreamer (2)

Being able to control any deck is pretty nifty. You can easily manipulate what the Villian plays, if Wraith is in play and using her Eyepiece it'll give you easy access to control both the Villian and Environment, which makes for an easy game.

Tachyon (2) -  Team Leader Tachyon (2)

I admit it, i'm a cheater...

Absolute Zero (4) - Elemental Wrath AZ (0)

EW AbZ dies way too easily, sure I can kill base easy enough but I at least like the option to live or not.

Bunker (4) - Engine of War (0)

Starting a game with no equipment in hand and no ongoings in play makes Engine Bunker so boring and getting set-up that much harder as you either have the choice of playing 1 card and drawing 1 or drawing 2.

Tempest(2) - Freedom Tempest (2)

I've never had a problem with Tempest not having a lot of cards, nor do I consider any of his cards worth destroying. The only time I prifer Sacrifice is going up against Dreamer, as Squall is a useless power at that point and Grevious Hailstorm is worth getting destroyed.

Haka(0) - Eternal Haka (4)

I tend to just draw 1 more than discard a Haka card aswell, but the more cards I get the better the Haka of Battle will be. Also his base power quickly gets replaced by either Taiha or Mere. Plus it's just 1 less health, not too bad.

Unity (1) - Golem Unity (3)

Love this girl, as stated it allows me to actually make good use of her Equipment and play other cards rather than wasting an entire turn to get the bots out. No more choices between playing Brain Storm or an equipment card to get a Platform Bot out.

Baron Blade (3) - Mad Bomber Baron Blade (1)

It's the first villian I faced, such found memories. Plus it's always nice when he actually gets some incredible draws and makes the heroes almost lose.

Omnitron  (0) - Cosmic Omnitron (0) - OmnitronX (4)

Omni-X is just an awesome hero, quickly becoming one of my top 5, which is odd as he doesn't hurt himself at all...

I voted according to who I like to play most rather than story.

 

America's Greatest Legacy (1) - America's Newest Legacy (2) - America's Finest Legacy (1) - Iron Legacy(1)

Wraith (5) - Wratih Price of Fredom (0) - Rook City Wraith (0)

Fanatic (1) - Redeemer Fanatic (4) - by far, I really like to fuel all of her ongoing and the card draw lets me find the goods faster

Ra(0) - Ra Horus of Two Horizon (5)

Visionary (0) - Dark Visionary(3) - Dreamer (2)

Tachyon (2) -  Team Leader Tachyon (3)

Absolute Zero (5) - Elemental Wrath AZ (0)-I'm slowly changing my mind on this though

Bunker (5) - Engine of War (0)

Tempest(3) - Freedom Tempest (2)

Haka(0) - Eternal Haka (5)

Unity (2) - Golem Unity (3)

Baron Blade (3) - Mad Bomber Baron Blade (2)

Omnitron  (0) - Cosmic Omnitron (0) - OmnitronX (5) - I like Cosmitron for villian choice but ox is fun stuff.

America's Greatest Legacy (1) - America's Newest Legacy (3) - America's Finest Legacy (1) - Iron Legacy(1)

A bit of a supergirl fan so can't go past newest legacy...
Still broke my heart when i found out that Legacy actually dies in the main timeline and Young Leagacy takes his place
Strangely somthing Kon-El or Kara-El never got to do

 

Wraith (5) - Wratih Price of Fredom (0) - Rook City Wraith (1)

I like Rook City actually, I really like the art

 

Fanatic (1) - Redeemer Fanatic (5)

Redeemer looks just amazing i can't wait until the promo pack gets release can I can own one of these bad boys (mmm... girls :)  )

 

Ra(1) - Ra Horus of Two Horizon (5)

Ra... I find it frustrating to not have him dealling damage right out of the gate

 

Visionary (0) - Dark Visionary(3) - Dreamer (3)

Dreamer .... ok this one is selfish ... but it kind of creeps me out Visionary not having hair ... maybe a promo visionary will come along ... then i will start using her more

 

Tachyon (2) -  Team Leader Tachyon (3)

Team Leader, i love the ability, it really feels like cheating which is great, also the look and the art is amazing i love the more professional looking Tachyon

 

Absolute Zero (5) - Elemental Wrath AZ (0)

I can't vote either way on this one, i love them both
probably the art on Absolute Zero ... but the story of Elemental Wrath ... heart breaking ... i hope i never play EW and have him incapcitated story would probably make me cry

 

Bunker (6) - Engine of War (0)

Bunker

 

Tempest(4) - Freedom Tempest (2)

Tempest

 

Haka(0) - Eternal Haka (5)

Haka he seems so happy, the art made me want to play him (he was first hero in my first game)

 

Unity (3) - Golem Unity (3)

Unity
Not sure how I feel about her wearing Mr Fixers hat? oh many personal thoeries there

 

Baron Blade (3) - Mad Bomber Baron Blade (2)

Baron Blade
I'M GOING TO PULL THE MOON INTO THE EARTH MUHAHAHAHAhaaa
best lose condition in a game

I chose to think that when you fight in the final waste land that is an alternate timeline when Baron Blade succeeded
 

Omnitron  (0) - Cosmic Omnitron (0) - OmnitronX (6)

Mmm... interesting probably go with OmnitronX go with the heroes :)

 

America's Greatest Legacy (1) - America's Newest Legacy (3) - America's Finest Legacy (2) - Iron Legacy(1)  I like the first one we saw, America's Finest.

Wraith (6) - Wratih Price of Fredom (0) - Rook City Wraith (1) Basic Wraith is the best.

Fanatic (1) - Redeemer Fanatic (6) I'm for the Redeemer as well.

Ra(2) - Ra Horus of Two Horizon (5) I'm surprised more people don't prefer standard Ra.  I do.

Visionary (0) - Dark Visionary(4) - Dreamer (3) I like Dark Visionary, though the Dreamer is perhaps my favorite villain. I'm not sure voting for them in the same thing makes for a fair fight.

 Tachyon (3) -  Team Leader Tachyon (3) I like the original here too.

Absolute Zero (5) - Elemental Wrath AZ (1) This vote is a shock to me.  I think Elemental Wrath a big improvement.

 Bunker (7) - Engine of War (0)

Tempest(5) - Freedom Tempest (2)

 Haka(0) - Eternal Haka (6) I think I'm voting this way because of T.S. Eliot.

 Unity (3) - Golem Unity (4) So fast!

Baron Blade (3) - Mad Bomber Baron Blade (3) Bombs Away!

 Omnitron  (0) - Cosmic Omnitron (0) - OmnitronX (7) No-brainer, but see my comments on Visionary.

America's Greatest Legacy (1) - America's Newest Legacy (3) - America's Finest Legacy (3) - Iron Legacy(1)  Gotta say, I like a good old force mutiplier. Although Greatest Legacy is pretty cool as well.

Wraith (6) - Wratih Price of Fredom (1) - Rook City Wraith (1) Yeah, I said it. What can I say? I like to do damage. Also the Batman refrences are still there.

Fanatic (1) - Redeemer Fanatic (7) Yeah, I dig the armor. Also the tanking ability is pretty cool. However, Regular Fanatic+ Legacy, pretty good...

Ra(3) - Ra Horus of Two Horizon (5) So, as I said before, I like dealing damage. more often than not, I'll have the way to draw cards. Also like the art better.

Visionary (0) - Dark Visionary(5) - Dreamer (3) If you asked me in a world before Team Leader Tachyon, I would say regular visionary, but having a super Infared eyepiece helps a lot.

 Tachyon (3) -  Team Leader Tachyon (4) Yeah, I like me some cards. I also like the art on TLT better as well.

Absolute Zero (5) - Elemental Wrath AZ (2) Sure, he'll go down quickly, and he may not have very good incapacitated abilities, but I like me some damage, and I hate having my important stuff destroyed. Also the art's pretty cool

 Bunker (8) - Engine of War (0) So, the origional Bunker's art was what made me buy this game. No joke. 

Tempest(6) - Freedom Tempest (2) As much as I want to like Freedom Tempest, I'm none too good at shuffling. Perhaps if he's pair with Argent Adept, that might be okay.

 Haka(0) - Eternal Haka (7) I mainly like the new Haka's art. Also since cards are his resource, that's pretty cool.

 Unity (3) - Golem Unity (5) I like me some ways to play golems, and I like me some cyborgs. And the golem's BOTH?!?!?

Baron Blade (4) - Mad Bomber Baron Blade (3) I've not fought mad bomber blade, but I like the fast-placed satisfying action that is Advanced Baron Blade. Thematic and fun.

 Omnitron  (0) - Cosmic Omnitron (0) - OmnitronX (8) There may be a bias, as I can play as Omnitron X, but I still like me some Omnitron X. He's the Illest!

Updated the scores on top.
