The figure, which spans numbers 52-54 in the set of 96, is described as follows:

"The Crimson Dynamo is ready to take care of Iron Man or practically anyone else who gets in the way. The Veteran version comes in at a hefty 134 points, but multiple clicks of Super Strength, Invulnerability, and Ranged Combat Expert make him worth every point. He has the potential to do a devastating 5 clicks of damage at 10" Balance out the Crimson Dynamo with the right support mix and roll over your opponent!"

The Marvel HeroClix: Xplosion expansion is due for release on March 26. Pre-order it online now from X-World Comics and help support X-Fan! (http://x-worldcomics.com/yourvirtualstore/shopexd.asp?id=3348)

Sounds like a cool figure to use. Can't wait for Xpolosion to come out!

It doesn't look like this guy's got a colored base which would indicate archenemy. Are there any archenemies so far in this set?

[Eric J. Moreels]

From what we've seen thus far, Iron Man has a colored (yellow) base.

Spider-Man (red) and Iron Man (yellow) both have colored bases. We just don't know who their archenemies in the set will be yet

I hope that they make a Mandarin figure for Iron Man's nemesis. Then we could recreate Psylocke, Wolverine, and Jubilee (figure please!) taking him on.

It's rumoured that the Mandarin is due out in this set, so hey, you might get your wish...

Cool This guy first appeared in X-factor Annual 1 didn't he?

Ah, forgot about the Unique Spidey having a red base! In that case, his arch-enemy would be Hobgoblin from the first Infinity Challenge set.

Nope. There's actually been six bearers of the name (seven if you count Tony Stark). Here's their first appearances:

I - Tales of Suspense #46
II - Tales of Suspense #52
III - Iron Man (1st series) #15
IV - Champions #7
V - Iron Man (1st series) #109 (he's the one that appeared in X-Factor Annual #1)
VI - Soviet Super-Soldiers #1

Isn’t it possible that the Green Goblin, Venom, or some other Spider-villain made it into this set and will be Spider-Man’s new archenemy?

[Eric J. Moreels]

Not sure. It's possible, but I recall one of the designers saying that there will only ever be two characters that will be arch-enemies of each other. So in other words, no one character will ever have more than one arch-enemy.

[Alex Guillen]

well the figure looks good none the less, although which incarnation of the Dynamo it is it's still unresolved although I think it's safe to say it's the latest.

[NewMutant]

Looks better than some of the other new figures.
