Line 10:
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 Withwith 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 Onon 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 Withwith 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.
