For today’s Marvel HeroClix: Deadpool and X-Force preview, we bring you a character who has studied under Emma Frost, briefly was a member of the Hellfire Club, and currently is a member of Domino’s Mercs for Money team alongside Deadpool and Hit-Monkey. Making her HeroClix debut is Negasonic Teenage Warhead !

With a point value of 50 and a dial that’s only four clicks deep, Negasonic Teenage Warhead has the standard speed, attack, defense and damage symbols and her Improved Movement ability lets her ignore elevated terrain and character when she moves. Negasonic Teenage Warhead also has a range of 0 but we’ll touch on that a little more in a bit.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s dial has a consistent set of combat values, particularly in her damage slot. Her low base damage output is somewhat misleading, however, since it’s her special power that makes her a character your opponents would be foolish to ignore. That special power, called Precognitive Suggestion, lets Negasonic Teenage Warhead use Mind Control. (Back to that 0 range thing from earlier: Newer players should note that Mind Control has a minimum range of 4 when it’s used as a ranged action.) Additionally, when Negasonic Teenage Warhead uses Mind Control granted from her Precognitive Suggestion special power, she can use Outwit after actions resolve but only to target the hit character regardless of range and line of fire. Precognitive Suggestion is a nice special power for putting an opposing character in a box by moving it out of range for an attack on Negasonic Teenage Warhead, then stripping it of one of its powers or abilities for a follow-up shot by one of her teammates.

The rest of Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s dial features only two standard powers, Super Senses and Probability Control. Both powers offer Negasonic Teenage Warhead some protection against attacks through evasion or die rerolls that favor her. With this duo of standard powers, backed by her Precognitive Suggestion special power, Negasonic Teenage Warhead has the potential to be a major annoyance for many opponents. Finally, she has the Hellfire Club and X-Men keywords as options for themed team building.
