Christopher: "We're going to go over every single one of the cards and talk about their incapacitated sides."

Me: "That's... over 200 cards...."

I don’t see any problem with this.

I actually followed along with my collection of cards. It was fun! :)

And now we know for sure who Count Barzok is.

EDIT: Also, this was really useful from a fan designer perspective. I've always known that incap powers were meant to represent what the other heroes do now that one of their number is down, but actually visualizing what that means has never been easy. I've already got tons of ideas to redo my hero incap powers for better flavor instead of "well here's three random things and one's kind of like one her one-shots I guess".

"La Captain bound the two Hakas' together but this school bus is going to break that." This line had me laughing so hard.

+1 from me for the entire "Roses are edgelord" tangent.

Not always the best at social skills; I apologize in advance. I don't apologize for any corny and morbid jokes, though.

Resident Argent Adept and Biomancer fangirl, be forewarned.

I've updated all the character references in the wiki to confirm the identities of everyone for the art that's already in there.  There's still some missing art, though, and no one's started on Benchmark, Stuntman, Void Guard, or the OblivAeon heroes.  If anyone with the physical cards wants to do the rest, feel free; if not, I'll do up through Void Guard in a couple weeks when all the variants are on digital.

Listening to them describe the Dark Watch Harpy abilities as helping out each remaining member of the Dark Watch team made me think - the Setback ability sets up BASE Setback's power, not Dark Watch Setback's power. Are the Dark Watch characters not meant to be played in their Dark Watch variants together? Maybe they are supposed to be sort of mixed and matched. This probably makes sense with Harpy joining the team about the same time as Faultless fixes Mister Fixer and Nightmist perishes.
