AMG is giving me no time to breath here... Just about a second after I posted the Kang and Iron Lad Hot Takes the next Panel to Play dropped. Iron Monger is massive! And comes with multiple builds as Dallas Kemp told us in the Fury's Finest Interview. As it turns out Iron Monger will be the second 3 threat to permanently be on a 65mm after the shortly before releasing Warriors Three. But I have a feeling he will see the table a whole lot more than Thors drinking buddies. While his attack range is a bit more limited he does get a place, can choose the type of his builder and has a throw and steal on his Spender. And his pretty basic 3/3/3 6/5 stat line is helped out by innate damage reduction. On top of it he can reroll two Attack or defense dice for two power which he can decide after seeing the roll.

A double feature of Nathaniel Richards in today's Hot Takes with Kang the Conquerer and Iron Lad. In reverse to the Panel to Play let's start with Iron Lad: Iron Lad is a very decent 3 threat.

Will Shick in the AMA after the Ministravaganza, where we first saw the front side of Iron Lads card, said he believed that that was a mistake but it is repeated here and on both sides of his card. If that is not a day one errata that can be quite strong. But arguably it is pretty unlikely for him to have multiple size 2 (or smaller) terrain pieces in range 2 of his small base often enough in a game for it to really matter. Right now he will be unaffiliated until we get the Young Avengers Affiliation hopefully later this year. Is he worth th...
