Mike won the roll and picked Krakoa.

MAP: Krakoa (no special rules; orange squares are blocking)

In the early turns Mike positioned his team near the center of the map, but still on his side. Jackson pushed his Johnnys in preparation. Mike had Psylocke roll for Mjolnir, but missed picking it up.

Mike opened by pushing Psylocke to TK Nightcrawler across the map and hit one of the Johnny Quicks for 2 and pulling him back within outwit range of Mask Killer, whose outwit he used to cancel Johnny’s Hypersonic.

Jackson bodly phased his Metron all the way across the map to base Mask Killer. He perplexed his defense to 20, outwitted Diana’s perplex and passed.

Mike perplexed up his Mask Killers attack to 11, rolled for a breakaway charge and hit it. He moved away from Metron and then back at him. He needed a 9, rolled a crit miss, used his only theme probability control to reroll, rolled an 11, then rerolled again for Metron’s probability control and rolled a 6. Next, Mike pushed to send him Crawler at Jackson’s other Quick but missed the attack. Finally, he moved Diana Prince next to Metron and passed.

On his turn, Jackson came at Nightcrawler full force with both Quicks. Mike missed both the Shape Changes, but only one Quick managed to connect for 2. Next, Jackson successfully Pulse Waved Diana, Mask Killer and Psylocke for 1 each.

Mike based Metron with his 3rd click Psylocke, perplexed her defense by 1 and passed.

Jackson perplexed his Metron’s defense to 20 and passed.

Mike went for it with Psylocke. He perplexed her attack to 12 and rolled to Blades/Claws/Fangs/Exploit Metron. He rolled a crit miss. Without a Probability Control, he took 2 damage, 1 for the push and 1 for the crit miss. Next, Mask tried and failed to hit Metron. Then, Crawler successfully hit the unwounded Quick for 2.

On Jackson’s turn, Metron KO’d Psylocke. He made a few token attacks against Crawler with his Quicks, but missed both.

Mike rolled a couple of breakaways with his figures. Mask failed, but Diana got away and based a Quick.

Jackson outwitted Mask Killer’s Combat Reflexes and KO’d him with Metron.

Mike pushed his Diana to finish off a Quick and succeeded.

Jackson KO’d Diana with little effort. He then tried to smack Crawler with Johnny, rolled a CRIT HIT, but Crawler Super Sensed out of it.

Mike passed and Metron pushed to KO Howard. Johnny finally connected on Nightcrawler for the win.

Jackson WINS!
