Hey,

       Episode 44 is up. It took me a while to get it done. More then I care to admit. I'm at the public library.  It is sad that you get a faster speed when you proxy the library connection through your phone as a hot spot. Oh well. Today's figure to look at is Manchester Black.

      Manchester Black is on my mind because if you listen to the new episode you will see that his name escaped my mind. He is a great figure that has long been forgotten. So lets dig deep and look at his pro's and cons.

     The pros of Manchester Black are quite good. The first advantage is his trait. KILLING IS THE ONLY OPTION: When an opposing character is KO'd, you may remove an action token from Manchester Black. If the KO'd character was 100 or more points, heal Manchester Black of 1 damage. This means he works best in a highly aggressive team. Superman, Black Adam, and Magog from the Superman set really loved this piece.  The next edge is his special power RUTHLESS TELEKINETIC: Manchester Black can use Penetrating/Psychic Blast and Telekinesis. This power is paired with running shot and very solid damage values. This makes Manchester Black a good cleaner for mid and end game after he finishes tk'ing out figures. With five clix of move and attack he does a lot. If you are looking for a good Wildcard abuse figure for Suicide Squad I would pick this figure out.

    The con's of this piece are not that big of a deal but are evident. When your man job is to tk and attack Dark Phoenix for a few more points is going to take your job every time. Having only two clix of 3 damage is a bit bad. Also his attack goes down to an 8 at it's worse. Manchester Black really lacks when it comes to keywords. Other then that there is very little that is lacking.
