I just noticed that drdeath25 swiped my picture (although he politely reversed the frame, so we can distinguish between us). I guess my mom was right, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery! She has wisdom, she loves me, and she plays Overpower! Is there anything more you could want from your mother?  :)

Anyway, since I'm Gambit's #2 fan (although I only recently discovered that), I loved the idea of my little Gambit figure playing Overpower and charging cards, and whatnot, so I set it up and took a pic of it.

as for my username, it's actually just my first initial and last name. Creative, I know!  ;D

what's yours about?

Nate Grey

Marvel comic fans would know that Nate Grey is the name of the character I use as my picture. He's also nicknamed X-Man and we are fortunate to have an Overpower Card for him, and quite playable too.  ;D He quickly became my favorite Marvel character when the Age of Apocalypse was released and recently, after a painfully long absence, it appears he is returning to the pages of Marvel comics.

AoA is easily, by far and away, my favorite arc! I have all 4 of the TPB books and i've read them half a dozen times, at least!

You are so lucky your favorite character is playable in this game  ;). What is your favorite X-Man deck to play with?

That's a better spin than my orgianl reaction which was, "lame".  ::)  I thought he could have used a different picture of gambit for his avatar, but at least you didn't come back with the sig. "REAL undisputed #1 Gambit fan in the world!"  :P

Anyway, my avatar is do the nostalgia of my childhood when the hulk was my favorite character/cartoon. Later wolverine and venom shared that title.

Kal-el

Kal-el is Superman's Kryptonian name, and as he is my favorite character, that is what I use.

I'll need to upload a picture soon. I have a nice animated Superman logo one that I use on other boards.

rucker73

Rucker was a nickname I picked up playing rugby.  73 is just my fav number and I've been a Deadpool fan ever since "The Circle Chase" back in 95 I think.

I'm embarrassed to admit I haven't played using X-Man yet. I've been purchasing most of his cards and I just need Ultimate Potential. I'd like to use him on a team with Cable though. Any recommendations on what other teammates to add with him?

X-Man and Cable leave you 2 points over, so you could go with two 18s, a 17-19, a 16-20, or X-Babies and a 21.

For my money, I'd go with Iceman up front and Quicksilver in Reserve. That gives you an extra teammate avoid for the front line, to pair with Cable's and Quicksilver from Reserve backs up a F teamwork card and he has that GIANT 11S attack  ;D

But I don't want to de-rail this topic, I love the responses so far about favorite characters!

I think my favorite part of this game is that it lets me "play superheroes" like I did when I was a kid  ;D

BigBadHarve

Big Bad Harve was the name they gave to Harvey Dent's darker side before he became Two-Face in Batman: The Animated Series.

I decided it was kind of catchy, so I adopted it. ;)

Ok, I'll stop talking about Overpower in this thread about avatars (that is in the Overpower discussion section).
