'''''HeroClix''''' is an exception-based miniatures game. That is, it uses simple basic rules where the powers and abilities allow you to break the rules.
The game features heroes and villains from [[The DCU]], the [[Marvel Universe]], and various other Indy [[Comic Books]]. The reason it's called HeroClix is because these it uses miniatures on a dial, every time a character is damaged you rotate it and it [[Xtreme Kool Letterz|"clix"]].
The appeal of the game lies in creating teams of heroes, villains, or [[Enemy Mine|Hero-Villain team ups]] and fighting classic battles or [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|dream matches]], all to finally put that [[Popularity Power]] to the test.
Line 12:
It has gone through at least one major evolution, and possibly a couple of [[Armed with Canon]] incidents. One of the major flaws... well, limitations of the system was that heroes who exhibited several superpowers at the same time (like say [[Super Strength]] and [[Tap on the Head|Incapacitate]], or [[Nigh Invulnerable|Invulnerability]] and [[Good Thing You Can Heal|Regeneration]]) could not use both at once, because only one attack, movement, defense, and damage power could be activated at once. Also, the powers and point values [[CCG Importance Dissonance|didn't always line up with canon.]] The [[Armed with Canon]] incidents involved DC combining Invulnerability with [[Deadly Dodging]], and the new system with Marvel annexing cards that give each character multiple powers as their backstory demands.
It also had a near death experience due to Wizkids, its parent company, going out of business, but was purchased by another company, NECA, and [[Not Quite Dead|lived to play another day.]] More recently, [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|it has also added]] ''[[Street Fighter]]'' and ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' to the list of available figure choices, followed by ''[[Gears of War]]'' and ''[[Halo]]'' sets. There's also supposedly an [[Up to Eleven|Iron Maiden]] set in the works, too. Only time can tell what other universes may soon join in the fun.

Line 26:
* [[Metagame]] - There are some figures that specifically target the Metagame such as Kid Zoom who cancels [[Super Speed|Hypersonic Speed]] or Dirk Anger who will make your opponent's figures not able to use their team abilities.
* [[Mook Chivalry]]- Enforced. There is only one action per turn for every 100 points on your team, and soldier-level characters come in at 30-50 points a piece. [[Conservation of Ninjutsu|Larger forces]] of weak members therefore have to go in a few at a time while smaller groups or individuals are free to attack with full strength.
* [[
** Traits have this effect as well for specific powers and abilities.
* [[Power Nullifier]] - Outwit
