Palatinus' OverPower Forum

The problem with including those cards (A-Next, 5 Multi, DoW, Beyonder) is that it would effect the market value of the cards. We probably had a discussion about this earlier in the topic. Granted that selling a card that only has the words "play this card like you would a BEYONDER" would have the same effect.

If we were to print the "super rares", they would have to be the ones that could-have-been available in the Marvels. So 5 Multi, 8 Any-Power, Beyonder would be included. A-Next and Dow would not. I have compiled a page that shows which cards would have been available and which ones we could consider printing:

Again, it depends on our printer and what caps they impose, I'm willing to do a complete 300 card release of Marvels but most of it would be redundant. The artwork for the reprinted cards would have to be different. Having Ron Perazza's Beyonder or the Tiffany would be a direct infringement. There's nothing unlawful about placing the icons/text in the same place since it represents a whole entity and not a single card.

More discussion with BBH is needed.

I would love to see that

That'll take much more time than the ~100 card release we're doing right now since we would have to source 200 more images to use. The 300 card set would be mostly redundant cards as noted on the article I posted. However, there are some cards that would be brand "new" and not created yet (set of Missions, Events, new Homebase) and that would pretty much constitute a homemade set since there was no official play testing done by the reserves with those cards.

It'll be one of the longer term projects on my list and I don't plan to start it until the website projects are done. But I'm glad to see the enthusiasm with the idea.

Preview of one of the finalized artwork choices for the Marvels expansion:

That AP TW looks amazing. I wouldn't touch the speech bubble at all.

I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, but I'm in favor of including the reprint cards for the 'special' ones. A correct Galactus and Beyonder, the accidental inserts, and Marvel versions of the 5M and the APs (they were included too right?) would be fantastic.

I would personally like 3x of Silver Sable's special, if that's any consideration towards your final decision.  Regardless, I'll be happy.

For the AD, EE and MH specials, there will be 3 included. Basically, any useful defense specials were 3's. Most of the 2's (or 2-if-we-have-room) were damage cards >6 and the LO's and EB's.

Going to talk to BBH about the reprinted cards after my finals.

they're looking good there jack

Thanks Jack.  Good luck on your finals.

Finals are done, going to celebrate for a while (I'm completely done my degree) before heading to work on the Marvels.

Totaly umderstand bud. We can but dream

I'd buy a set if BBH will take my Paypal $

What about late 90s Marvel Masterpiece art? That was my favorite vintage stuff ...

We're trying to keep the set's look consistent throughout. That's why I decided to go with comic book panels.

EDIT: The other reason why I didn't want to use the Marvel Masterpieces is because they are also cards. If we were to "sell" these as OverPower cards we would technically be infringing on the actual cards' market because "people" could be "confused" that they are the real cards.

I updated the Iceman Frozen Prison card image, this time is the edited version. Hoping to get rid of the bubbles "completely" but this is the best I can do while keeping the image with its context.


Quick updates on images still needed:
Angel - Aerial Combat
Angel - High Flyer
Black Cat
Black Panther
Captain Britain
Captain Mar-vell
Colossus
Dazzler
Deathlok
Doc Samson
Domino
Falcon
Havok
Hawkeye
Heroes for Hire
Hulk
Human Torch
Inhumans
Invisible Woman
Iron Man
Jean Grey
Jubilee
Ka-Zar
Maggot
Marrow
Maverick
Mr. Fantastic
Namor
Nightcrawler
Phoenix
Polaris
Punisher
Quicksilver
Reyes
Rogue
Sabra
Scarlet Witch
Shadowcat
Silver Surfer
Strong Guy
Sunfire
Thor
Thunderbird
Vision
War Machine
Wasp - Wasp Sting
White Queen

Note that these also include images that I haven't pasted into cards yet, I've only been doing research today.

1st off the the set looks like its going to be awesome! I think the border would look better with the Marvels scrolled in the background like Dr.deathe25 has it just to keep with the previous sets pattern. Will you be emailing us when its time to order? I definitely want as few sets.
Appreciate the time you are putting in. Also how many people will be at the tournament in Riverside the 18th? I live in Downey, CA and I am thinking of going. Have you ever considered having a tournament at Frank&sons?

I want to avoid using the Marvel logo because that would suggest that I am representing the company.

I was suggesting using the word MARVELS in the background of the border since that is the name of the set. I would not use any actual copyrighted Marvel logo. Either way is fine tho
