They have a variety. Some fun poses too. If you just search for the first letter, itll take you to a page of all the characters starting with that letter. I find that I keep scrolling and scrolling. Especially at the marvel site. I love the compendium, but it's not iPad cut/paste friendly.

The DC one is just as good, but I never see you draft DC characters lol

occassionally i will. i almost was gonna do a youth Checkmate, and i would have had to use DC characters since there aren't that many non-powered teens in the Marvel universe

Just like with Spitfire, I'm a little torn. I think Starman would make a great Bishop. But he'd be plenty useful in the field, too. For now, he's a White Rook.

Rooks - "Scorched Earth", "break glass in case of emergency", called out in dire emergencies.
Pawns - non powered civilians

Oh yeah... digging these new sites: http://marvel-microheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Marvel-Microheroes_Wiki and http://dc-microheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Dc_Microheroes_Wiki , but I haven't found any Micros as cool as Bubba's!

Well remember the Black King/Queen DO go out in the field. Sasha Bordeaux was almost always in the field in the Checkmate series.

The Black King and Queen go out into the field? Then my teams are exactly the opposite of what they should be!

yeah the White King/Queen have nothing to do with missions/ops.. they don't go in the field, the black Royals do.

Well then, I will simply have to fix this later by switching my teams around.

I'm kinda switching it around. My black is assassination, my white is terrorism.
