Today's festivities inspired me to build a themed team using one of comic's greatest villain Magneto. The mutant master of magnetism brings his family along for a celebration in mutant liberation the X-Men way.
75 UXM054 Quicksilver
50 WKM17-005 Polaris
90 UXM040 Magneto
75 UXM055 Scarlet Witch
290 points
Team Roles
Magneto and Polaris serve similar roles here as the team's transport and Telekinesis (TK) users. Stealth shouldn't be a problem as Quicksilver has Hypersonic Speed, you can use TK to move objects/friendly characters, or push Magneto onto his 2nd click to use Force Blast and knock enemies out of Stealth. Outwit may be problematic, but use Polaris to put Barriers in their way and prioritize KO'ing them as quick as possible with Quicksilver's Flurry. Scarlet Witch can help with her Probability Control to make sure his Flurry attacks land. Quicksilver needs to stay alive and don't be afraid to push him as he can heal back up anyway!
Clix Combos
Scarlet Witch's Hex Magic Marker coupled with Quicksilver's Flurry can do a lot of potential damage. Magneto can add his Magnetic Shield to the mix to make Quicksilver even harder to pin down. The happy family also starts with 3 Enhancement users to really pile on the damage at a distance as Polaris is the one with the shortest range at 6. Avengers Unity Division will allow Scarlet Witch to act as a healer as everyone can use the X-Men team ability. This team sits at 290 points, so you still have an extra 10 points to add your favorite item. Maybe consider the Fragment - Colossus (pictured below) to add some more life to Quicksilver.
The End
I'm taking this team for a spin against who knows what, but it will be updated in the "Head to Head" section. Feel free to send me your Father's Day themed team ideas and I can feature them on my social media accounts. Thanks for reading!
