And this would be my submission to this event.

I love Superboy Prime. He is stupid and overpowered and not a little bit crazy. A fantastic DC villain! But to make his solo tactic work, he needs protection. So when i realized Negative Space can protect him from those untimely KO's ruining my endgame boost chain, and my wild interactions with "The Real Superboy", I just couldnt resist. 

However it was after I had submitted the list that I ALSO made the realization that Negative space would also nullify any and all attempts for me to power him up or to use one of my fave cards, "Kill you to death!' So most of my games were spent calling out opposing characters with Negative space. Did you know reinforcing is a targeted effect? Equipping is too! Negative Space basically reads: just &$%# THAT guy entirely!

What can I say? Prime fights dirty, especially when Batman is lending a hand.

Speaking of the devil, the DEFINATELY-about-to-be-nerfed Batman Alter Ego pushes the Prime set-up into a shocking display of consistency, while Negative space just feels like kicking superman square in the face.

GLORIOUS.

 

Ahh yes, the punch-so-hard-his-head-swings-INTO-the-punch-ignoring-the-laws-of-physics-punch. Still satisfying as hell to see though.
