This November sees the newest release for WizKids‘ Dice Masters, Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool. The set is focused on Deadpool’s world including the X-Men and Weapon X, but the set also includes some other familiar characters and the first appearance of the Inhumans team affiliation. I’ll be reviewing a card a day until the set’s release in a few weeks. But, beyond discussing the cards and how they fit into the Dice Masters game, I’ll also focus on the characters themselves and if the card reflects their comic history.

Next up is Satchel of Unlimited Weaponry: Sword, the common version of the card.

Art: Unkown

Comic origin: While I’m not quite sure where it started but the bag basically allows Deadpool to pull weapons out of it, whatever he needs.

Live action version: Deadpool did feature the character carrying a bag of a hell of a lot of weapons which is kind of like this.

Card playability: For a 3 BOLT card it’s very useful and I can see this card being used by a lot of folks, especially if they use a lot of actions on their team. To be able to double up an action card could be a game winner.

Card vs. Comic: Yup, totally works. The card perfectly reflects what is in the comic.

Final Thoughts: This is the common!? What’s the uncommon and rare!?

Next up is Negasonic Teenage Warhead: Foresight, the common version of the card.

Art: Clayton Crain, X-Force Vol. 3 #22

Comic origin: Ellie Phimister, aka Negasonic Teenage Warhead, was created by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely and debuted in New X-Men #115 in 2001. The character is a member of the Hellfire Club and is telepathic and has precognition.

She was a Genoshan teenager and a student of Emma Frost who was apparently killed during the genocide of Genosha where half the world’s mutants were killed, sixteen million people.

Weirdly the character was later seen as a member of the Hellfire Club and attacked the X-Men.

Even weirder the character was revealed as deceased during the “Necrosha” event and ressurected by the Transmode Viruse. She apparently deceased again.

But not really because she somehow survived and was living in Albuquerque in Marvel NOW!. After initially being captured by Deadpool’s Mercs for Money she joins them.

Live action version: The character is portrayed by Brianna Hildebrand in 2016’s Deadpool.

Card playability: For a 3 BOLT card it’s rather useful, especially since so much of the game involves Global Abilities. To stock up on these and then quickly get a 6A 3D character is solid. It’s one that could be good in draft and I see some use even in constructed play too.

Card vs. Comic: There’s a slight play on her telepathic and precognitive abilities with this.

Final Thoughts: I want to see the other cards in the set to see what combos can be done.

Next up is M.O.D.O.K.: Twisted Mind, the uncommon version of the card.

Art: Joe Bennett, Captain America and the Falcon #8

Comic origin: M.O.D.O.K., an acronym for Mental/Mobile/Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing, first appeared in Tales of Suspense #93 in 1967 and the first full appearance was Tales of Suspense #94. The character was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

The character was originally  George Tarleton a technician for A.I.M., the Advanced Idea Mechanics. He was changed with mutagenics to change him into M.O.D.O.C., the “C” for Computing.

The character has died and be revived a few times and has superhuman intelligence and a precognition like ability to predict outcomes. He has also shown psionic powers and generated force fields. Finally, his chair has tons of weapons.

Live action version: None that I know of.

Card playability: A 5 SHIELD the character is an interesting one that spins dice around. You spin M.O.D.O.K. to an opposing character’s level and that character to M.O.D.O.K.’s level. This could be interesting to get the character stronger and enters an aspect of actually wanting to roll low for M.O.D.O.K. at first. It’s something new and I can see the character being used in a draft maybe, but in a general, so far I’m not seeing it being a game change.

Final Thoughts: It’s an interesting card but one I don’t expect to see a lot of. Still, I want to see what the other two versions are like.

Next up is Lockjaw: Transport the Royals, the uncommon version of the card.

Art: Frank Cho, Inhuman #2 Variant

Comic origin: Debuting in 1965 in Fantastic Four #45, Lockjaw was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and is an Inhuman character that looks like a giant bulldog… and he can teleport.

Lockjaw serves the royal family and acts as their transport and has also been affiliated with the Fantastic Four and Pet Avengers.

Live action version: None that I know of.

Card playability: A 3 SHIELD cost and a total of 1 to field, the character and card absolutely stands out to me. The ability to remove the character if a blocking match-up doesn’t do well is solid and it forces your opponent to choose if they’ll block you, or let him through. The die stats too are solid allowing the character to take a bit of damage before being killed.

Card vs. Comic: Not quite sure on the connection.

Final Thoughts: I really dig the card and can’t wait to see the other versions as well as the rest of the Inhumans team members.

Next up is Lady Bullseye: Speed, Grace, Precision, the rare version of the card.

Art: Marko Djurdjevic, Daredevil Vol. 2 #111

Comic origin: Created by Ed Brubaker, Marko Djurdjevic,  Clay Mann, and debuting in Daredevil Vol. 2 #111 in 2008 , Maki Matsumoto was kidnapped by the Yakuza. Before she could be sold off into sexual slavery, Bullseye showed up and killed her captors. This act inspired her to become a killer herself.

She wound up working for the Hand and took on Daredevil. Later, Daredevil took over the hand and banished Lady Bullseye from the organization. She then went to work for Kingpin who manipulated Daredevil into contructing Shadowland, and Kingpin took over the Hand.

Lady Bullseye doesn’t have any powers but is a martial artist. She’s also a lawyer in her civilian guise.

Live action version: None that I know of.

Card playability: A 4 BOLT cost, the card isn’t one that really jumps out to me much as far its playability. Forcing an opposing character to block could be really handy, but I feel like we see this ability elsewhere, plus it’s a “when fielded” when Brainiac is similar for one cost and happens with each attack. So not a bad die, there’s better.

Card vs. Comic: Not quite sure on the connection.

Final Thoughts: I really want to see the other versions of this die.

Next up is Free Chimichangas: Delicious, the common version of the card.

Art: Michael Del Mundo, Deadpool Kills Deadpool #2

Comic origin: So it’s commonly believed that Deadpool likes chimichangas, but he doesn’t, he just likes the word.

“This place makes the best chimichanga on the island. Don’t even like chimichangas all that much. I just love saying it. Chimichanga. Chimichanga. Chimichanga. Chimichanga.” – Deadpool, Cable & Deadpool #13

Live action version: There’s numerous references to chimichangas in the Deadpool film.

Card playability: It’s a pretty cheap card to get some defense and with the “Impulse” part of it this is a card that could find some uses in the game. Not sure I like this more than the +3A +3D for other cards, but it’s cool to start seeing these types of dice being added to the game.

Card vs. Comic: Not quite sure on the connection.

Final Thoughts: I really want to see the other versions of this die.

Next up is Flying Car: Buckle Up!, the common version of the card.

Art: Carlos Pacheco, Atlas #2

Comic origin: It’s a flying car from the series Agents of Atlas. Not sure there’s much more than that. The issue was about 3D-Man trying to figure out why he remembers working with the Agents of Atlas’ leader Jimmy Woo in the 1950s even though he wasn’t born yet. But, there’s a hint about the card’s point and it’s abilities which will be discussed below.

Live action version: Nope!

Card playability: It’s basically the Dice Masters version of Giant Growth from Magic. That would be helpful and with other die that allow you to copy another action die, we’re talking +6A +6D potentially. It’s actually a type of die we haven’t seen much in the game at all.

Card vs. Comic: The +3A and +3D I think is the connection. 3D-Man, get it!

Final Thoughts: Might we be getting an Agents of Atlas team?

Next up is Evil Deadpool: Bang! Bang! Bang!, the uncommon version of the card.

Art: Nick Bradshaw, Deadpool Vol. 2 #45

Comic origin: This character goes back to 2011 from Deadpool Vol. 2 #45 written by Daniel Way and art by Salvador Espin. What would happen if a collection of Deadpool’s frozen, severed body parts were to be thrown into a dumpster and then, once thawed, fuse together to form a new–and totally evil–Deadpool? Yup… This is one I’ve never read so that’s about what I got.

Live action version: This version of Deadpool hasn’t been in any films.

Card playability: The card is 4 BOLT and 3 total to field which is decent for the stats, but I’m not sure there’s anything that really makes it really jump out at me. The 2 damage is nice, but to a level 1 character it’s limiting. And, it’s only really useful if there’s a lot of Deadpool being played against. So in a draft, this is good, on a regular build, maybe not so much.

Card vs. Comic: I’m not getting the connection. Maybe the subtitle it fits?

Final Thoughts: Not really digging this one as a whole. As a draft card it could be nice, but beyond that I’m just not seeing it being useful enough.

Next up is Colossus: Former Juggernaut and Colossus: Rigid Morals, the common and uncommon version of the card.

Art: Tom Grummett, X-Men Forever #11

Comic origin: Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin, aka Colossus, was created by writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum and debuted in Giant-Size X-Men #1 in 1975.

The character transforms himself into a metallic “organic steel” form and also is physically strong along with superhuman stamina and durability. For a time the character was the Avatar of Cyttorak aka the Juggernaut!

Born on a Soviet collective farm, he has  sister Illyana and older brother Mikhail.

The character has been a member of the X-Men, Excalibur, an Acolyte, and X-Force, died from the Legacy Virus and been resurrected.

Live action version: The character has appeared in numerous animated television shows and live action films. Daniel Cudmore played the character in 2003’s X2, 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand, and 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. He also appears via CGI in 2016’s Deadpool. In that film Andre Tricoteux and T. J. Storm provided motion capture, Glenn Ennis provided initial face shapes, Greg LaSalle the final facial performance, and he was voiced by Stefan Kapičić.

Card playability: The cards are expensive to purchase and generally to field though a 1 cost to field and 5A 5D is pretty nice. The ability to deal 1 damage to everyone or 2 to all level 1 characters when fielded is an easy way to clear to board if needed. I myself shy away from cards that cost 6 or 7 like these two.

Card vs. Comic: The two cards don’t quite work for me as far as translating the character to card, but they do if you think about his being the Juggernaut. That’s a character that rolls through his enemies since “nothing can stop him” so in that sense dealing damage to everyone works really well.

Final Thoughts: This could be a pretty useful character, either version, but my play style doesn’t match the high cost.
