Marvel: Crisis Protocol – Beta Ray Bill Brings The Thunder
Fan favorite Beta Ray Bill is coming to Marvel: Crisis Protocol and we’re getting a look at what this worthy champion can do on the tabletop!
If you’re not familiar with Beta Ray Bill it’s time to brush up on the hero of the Korbenite people. This champion was deemed worthy of the powers of Thor by Mjolnir by wielding the might hammer. Eventually, he did return it to Thor and Odin had the hammer Stormbreaker forged for Beta Ray Bill!
It was your classic “good guys meet-up and fight each other only to realise they are both good guys and team up to fight the true villain” story. With some lightning and hammers mixed in, naturally. That said, this cybernetically augmented warrior coming to the tabletop and is packing the powers of Thor — so you know he’s gonna hit like boss!
“Bill’s hammer Stormbreaker gives him a solid Strength 5 physical attack with the ability to Stun his targets, but when he uses it to Summon the Storm he can unleash a torrent of energy in the form of a Strength 6 energy attack that is the bane of anyone who flies: against a flying character, the storm batters them and lets Bill reroll 2 dice in the attack roll, even failures! That’s great for Beta Ray Bill, because it lets him fish for wilds to trigger the Shock special rule.”
Oh, did you know that Beta Ray Bill is also known as the Godhunter? He earned that title for taking on Galactus…and his Godhunter attack is appropriately named for what it does. You get to add dice to the attack based on the size of the target character! Take that Galactus. Also, it has the potential to hurl the target medium distance after the attack.
Speaking of throwing things, Bill can also toss interactive terrain features size 4 or less medium distance as well! That takes strength alright.
Beta Ray Bill also has a quite a few extra abilities thanks to his Korbinite Cybernetics. First up, when he takes damage he can reduce it by 1. He’s also immune to Bleed, Incinerate, and poison. And he can Fly. He’s been Blessed by the All-Father and gets additional energy every power phase. And finally, he’s Honorbound which allows him to move a short distance toward his attacker after suffering damage.
I can’t wait to see this champion on the tabletop! He’s coming in a Pack with Ulik the Rock Troll soon.
