The next HeroClix set, coming in December, is X-Men House of X. Multiple outlets have received pre-release bricks of the set, allowing them to reveal new figures and abilities for the first time. TheGamer was included, and in our unboxing video I happened to stumble one of the rare Chase characters. You can watch that to see the figure up close, and here I'll reveal what's on the card.
And here's a text version of the info:

In other tabletop news, the Pokemon TCG is finally removing a 20-year ban on a card thanks to a famous magician. It's a weird situation, and definitely worth a read.
