Well, differing opinions and all that, but I think the Crystal piece is phenomenal. She's won me a ton of games, and I love the synergy in her trait and special powers.

It may just be because I don't read anything with the Inhumans. Her trait is awesome, and she is a ranged character that alone can bust stealth, which is clearly awesome. I have seen other players play her with great success, but she is too glass jaw (speaking only on her defensive abilities. Her attack stays very consistent) for me, and my style.

Oh, no doubt that she's a bit soft defensively - but with a smart team around her, you can perplex that up top dial to a 19 or 20 with very little effort. Keep her behind or in hindering, and you're sitting at a 20 or 21 (potentially 22) defense. With all the abilities she has, I can overlook the weakness - and worst case scenario, if things get hairy, I can toss up a barrier.

Marvel
Clearly there were a lot of great pieces released this year. To my recollection Hulk was at the end of last year, so I did not include it in my list. My top ten is leaving out pieces that seem a little too cheap or broken such as the Astral Dr. Strange, Ultron, chase thanos, Sentry/Void and Scarlet Witch. Also being left off my list are colossal. The chase Loki, Odin, and Red Skull are really good as well, but I left them off because they too seemed a little too OP. So that leads to my top ten:
#10- Red Shift Hypersonic, Cosmic, Positioning, 105points
#9- #004 (FF) Wolverine Stealth, Blades, Flurry Entire X-men FF as honorable mentions
#8-#39 Hawkeye
#7- Cosmo TK, Enhancement, PD, Triple incap
#6- #206 Dr. Strange Energy shield to all adjacent friendly characters, Perplex, Probability, Support, Defenders(play with someone with an 18 defense and both have 20 from range)
#5- Mole Man So much fun, made monster one of the strongest key words
#4- #38 Johan Schmidt Friendly hydra have shield TA as well
#3- #22 Sharron Carter all adjacent avengers can use stealth
#2- Donald Blake Best healer in game, Thors out if attacked
#1-Cheating here-Wolverine, Spiderman, Captain America ChasesSkrull team awesomeness
DC
By sitting down to make these lists it really shows that it have been a marvel year. While the clix released (309 marvel vs. 232 DC according to Click Master App) show some discrepancy, in my opinion, the marvel clixs have just been better. I want to mention that I did not include Geo Force, Lt. Gordon or the Prime Bruce Wayne simply because I have not played with them. I am sure they all deserve top 10, but seeing as I have not played them, I left them off.
#10- #28 Joker Looks great, Movie Accurate, fun, admittedly not the greatest click, but had to add it.
#9- #003 Sinestro (War of the Light) Powerhouse
#8- #100 BatmanMarquee,
#7- Riot Officer Ability to use PD TA without adjacency
#6- 50point EnchantressTK, Prob for cheap
#5- #001 FF Batman Running shot, Psy Blast Batman? Yes, please
#4- #26 Lucious FoxAbility to take tokens off all batmen
#3- AlfredGenerally just Alfred, all 3 are awesome but if had to pick one #31 from set
#2- Big Barda Alpha strike, defense trait promoting pushing
#1-Cheating again—New 52 rares—All of them—especially Deathstroke, Constantine, Xanadu, Flash in that order… These rares are awesome, making all people who pulled a fury instead quite upset.
