It includes pretty much every [[Stock Superpower]] and a few less easily mapped ones. It uses a point system to price heroes, giving them a raw [[Power Level]] used to gauge the strength of a team by adding up the members' values. A 100 point team of five [[Elite Mook]] Hand Ninjas would still be an easy match for an experienced [[Daredevil]] and [[Daredevil|Elektra]], but get creamed with the 200 point [[Superman]]. The game has pieces move as if on a chessboard (each being able to move in any direction) and ranged attacks have to draw lines of fire avoiding such things as smoke and obstacles. |

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 ''[[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. |
