Sin and Viper are coming to Marvel: Crisis Protocol

Posted on by Leave a comment

Atomic Mass Games has done a decent job of mixing up the characters for their popular Marvel: Crisis Protocol miniature game. While the heavy hitters like Hulk, Captain America, and Spider-Man are included, we also get Toad, M.O.D.O.K., and Crossbones.

Teased at the end of January, it’s now confirmed that Sin and Madame Hydra, aka Viper are coming to the game.

Sin debut in 1984 in Captain America #290 as Mother Superior. Created by J. M. DeMatteis and Paul Neary, the character is the daughter of Red Skull and sometimes girlfriend of Crossbones. While she’s had different portrayals over the years, she’s featured abilities such as Telepathy, Teleportation, Psychokinesis, and Phasing.

Created by Jim Steranko, Viper debuted in 1969 in Captain America #110. She’s a notable swordswoman, martial artist, and markswoman.

Will we get a proper Hydra affiliation with the addition of these two characters?

It’s that last figure that plays into the latest tease as to what’s coming down the line.

Posted to Facebook, Atomic Mass Games posted the below picture with this line:

Our next release carries on a legacy of evil…

For those that know Marvel Comics, based on the silhouette and the text, the likely answer is Sin is coming to the game.

Sin debut in 1984 in Captain America #290 as Mother Superior. Created by J. M. DeMatteis and Paul Neary, the character is the daughter of Red Skull and sometimes girlfriend of Crossbones. While she’s had different portrayals over the years, she’s featured abilities such as Telepathy, Teleportation, Psychokinesis, and Phasing.

With the addition of Sin, a Hydra specific faction gets all the more possible with Crossbones and Red Skull already in the game. Might we get Viper, Armin Zola, Doctor Faustus, Kraken, Strucker, and Gorgon to create a proper affiliation?

Wizkids continues it’s preview for Marvel Heroclix Captain America.  This time it’s the Red Skull’s daughter and heir, Sin!

Heroclix SinFrom the Wizkids website:

Sin begins the game lurking in the shadows with the very potent combination of Stealth and Ranged Combat Expert.  With only a 6 Range value, you’ll have to manuever close by to your opponents, but Willpower will allow Sin to act without fear of pushing damage, and makes getting into position for that shot a little easier.

Sin moves onto Running Shot with Energy Explosion on her second click, as her more impulsive nature takes control and she leaps into the fray.  Sin enjoys some additionl protection from close combat attacks with Combat Reflexes while Outwit allows her to throw a monkey wrench into the best laid plans of your opponents.   At the end of her dial, Sin picks up Exploit Weakness as she demonstrates the more ruthless tactics she’s learned from her father and Crossbones.

Sin alternates between the two different tactics throughout her dial, switching powers to keep opposing figures on their toes! At only 57 points, Sin has very consistent combat values and a great power selection, but that’s not all! Sin’s Brainwashed, Again trait allows her to pass along her action token when she is within 8 squares of a friendly figure with Mind Control (or the Red Skull or Crossbones) if she has one action token at the start of the action.  Despite her shorter dial, Sin is a great addition to your force as a secondary attacker or ranged harrasser.
