Cerberus Engine Games is the catch-all name for Cryptozoic Entertainment's series of deck-building games and expansions that started in 2012 with the DC Comics Deck-Building Game and continued on to license and adapt the game with the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, more DC Comics stories, Street Fighter, Naruto, and even the freakin' NHL!The games are built around the gameplay and card format known as the "Cerberus Engine," in which players choose or are dealt at random an oversized Super Hero card. Each Super Hero has a unique ability or special card that set them apart and give them a certain advantage or play they can make, and start out with equal decks of 10 Starter-type cards each, and on their turn, play out their hand to build up +Power to meet or exceed the cost of cards they wish to acquire off the Line-up or a stack, which will then go straight to their discard piles, adding to their overall score in Victory Points (VP) and then getting reshuffled into the deck to be played in later turns. This, in turn, offers players greater +Power than they started out with, as well as any number of tricks and traps to launch them ahead into victory: Attacks to mess with foes' hands and decks, Defenses to keep yourself safe from enemy Attacks, instant-gain and discount coupons, the ability to destroy junk cards, draw-and-sort maneuvers, and "Ongoing" cards that keep on giving every turn, almost assuring an easy win. The game is over when either the Main Deck, a 120+ stack of every known thing in the DC Universe or Middle-Earth, runs out or all Super-Villains/Archenemies have been defeated. The player with the most Victory Points wins, and in the event of a tie, whichever player defeated more Super-Villains wins, and in case they tie, God help us all.In other words, pretty standard fare as far as deck-builders go, with perks.At the time of writing this there are 13 main boxed sets with 4 medium expansions and 5 small expansions, 1 standalone medium-sized game in the series. The catalog can be found here. DC Comics Deck-Building Game - the Pilot game, featuring your basic Leaguey-Weagueys and numerous well-known characters The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Deck-Building Game The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Deck-Building Game DC Comics Deck-Building Game: Heroes Unite Capcom Street Fighter Deck-Building Game The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Deck-Building Game DC Comics Deck-Building Game: Crisis Expansion (Pack 1) - based on Crisis on Infinite Earths, this expansion Promotes 4 Heroes to Playable and introduces Crisis Mode, a cooperative campaign in which all players face Impossible Mode Super-Villains while dealing with bizarre restrictions in a Luck-Based, Timed Mission.

Cherry Tapping: Some cards allow you to recall one or several of your Starters from your discard pile, quickly becoming this. A train of "+1 Power and draw a card" effects also results in this. | |

"Get Back Here!" Boss | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_10f5b375 | comment |
"Get Back Here!" Boss: Dr. Light (Teen Titans) is the only Super-Villain who can appear then go away to fight another day. His First Appearance—Attack is pretty straightforward, but if anyone avoids it, he shuffles himself back into the Super-Villain stack and another one appears, also making him a Bait-and-Switch Boss and an assist to the second SV. | |

Darker and Edgier: Forever Evil. In addition to more emphasis being put on card destruction and new kinds of Attacks, the details on the cards show this with cracked text for card names and the word "VILLAIN" is black instead of white. | |

Randomized Damage Attack | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_15430b2f | comment |
Randomized Damage Attack: Any card that relies on playing/discarding/revealing/gaining the top card(s) of a deck. In DC Comics, there's Black Manta, Poison Ivy, Power Ring, Starro, The Anti-Monitor when played, The Riddler, Two-Face, and X-Ray Vision; Psycho Pirate in Crisis 1; Elrond in The Hobbit; Kobra in Crossover 1. Alternatively, effects that require cards to change hands or that literally say "random card(s)," such as Atrocitus, Brainiac, and The Joker. Played straight with Hector Hammond (Heroes Unite and Crisis 2), who returns 3-4 random cards from your discard pile to your hand. | |

Weapon of X-Slaying | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_17d5e071 | comment |
Weapon of X-Slaying: Green Arrow's Bow reduces the cost of Super-Villains by 2. Gimli's Axe (Fellowship of the Ring) does the same! Boromir's Sword (Fellowship of the Ring) and I Am No Man (Return of the King) reduce the cost even more the higher the level the current Archenemy is. Black Arrow (Desolation of Smaug) reduces the cost of Arch-Enemies by a whopping 6! Word of Power (Forever Evil) reduces the cost of Super Heroes by 4. Citizen Steel (Crossover 1) reduces that cost by the number of Punches you throw that turn. | |

The Spiny: Jugo (Naruto). When you buy/gain him, you also gain a Weakness. In Crisis 3, the Crises This World Is Ours and Hunted By The Crime Syndicate make all Villains this when you buy/gain them by giving you a Weakness and repeating the Super-Villain's attack, respectively. | |

Power at a Price | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_1ebbdddb | comment |
Power at a Price: In Street Fighter, a somewhat literal example is Sagat's Villain card, which gives +Power equal to the cost of a card destroyed by him. Seduced By the Ring (Fellowship of the Ring) only offers +1 Power, but if you choose to gain a Corruption, you may draw two cards! Various cards in The Fellowship of the Ring give you a boon only in conjunction with another player. Magician's Corset (Crisis 1) and the identical A Tender Moment (Desolation of Smaug) allow you +1 Power each to let other players draw a card. Similarly, Tarot Cards (Crisis 3) gives you +1 Power for each player whose score you increase by 1. Note that the "At a Price" only applies to standard games, since in Crisis Mode you want other players to be powerful. Magic in Crisis 1 plays a card a second time (usually, double the Power) but destroys it in the process. Jugo (Naruto Shippuden) gives you a Weakness automatically upon gaining him. Bizarro Power (Forever Evil) will add 4 Power and throw a Weakness at all foes, but only after giving you one. | |

Back-to-Back Badasses | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_1f19f198 | comment |
Back-to-Back Badasses: As suggested by the manual for the original game, you could try playing as two Super-Heroes at once (referred to as a "Two-Headed" game for whatever reason)... note Possibly due to the two vs two "two headed giant" Magic: the gathering rules varaint. ...but this trope shines through in The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, in which duos Frodo/Sam and Legolas/Gimli team up as singular Heroes! Merry and Pippin (Two Towers) also count. Duo Finn and Jake and duo Mordecai and Rigby in Cartoon Network. | |

Padded Sumo Gameplay: In Street Fighter, the Weaknesses, junk cards that must normally be destroyed via a card effect, can be taken out of the deck simply by playing them. Averted in Rivals where it is possible to defeat your rival with enough Power and Attacks. | |

Status Effects | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_2639f6eb | comment |
Status Effects Poison: In Crisis Mode, there are various ways your team can get Weaknesses continuously. In The Hobbit, Azog causes this. Silence: "Flip your Super Hero face down." Captain Cold, Impossible Captain Cold and Identity Crisis (Crisis 1), Icicle when played (Crossover 1), and Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist (Naruto Shippuden) all do this. Berserk: Putting 0-cost cards, usually Punches, from your discard pile back on top of your deck, preferably in groups of 4. Harley Quinn, Zangief's Counter-Attack (Street Fighter), and Aquaman (Forever Evil) can do this. Also a Slow. Charm: Possession (Crisis 2) and to a lesser degree, Power Drain (Forever Evil). Frozen: Subverted, as "freezing" by Captain Cold, etc. is more of a Silence, and the Cold Gun (Forever Evil) doesn't freeze players but prevents them from picking up a specified card from the Line-up. True to Freezing, though, Frozen cards may be destroyed. Slow: In Street Fighter rules only, putting a Weakness on top of a foe's deck, since Weaknesses can be gotten rid of simply by playing them. In any game, putting Punches on top of a foe's deck overlaps with Berserk. Stop: Itachi (Naruto Shippuden). His First Appearance—Attack causes all players who can't defend to lose a turn, and when played, if nobody Defends his Positive Attack, he gives the user another turn. Cursed: Impossible Mr. Freeze (Crisis 2) limits you to only playing 4 cards until he's defeated; Impossible Johnny Quick and Atomica (Crisis 3) prohibit you from drawing any cards and playing cards of cost 5 or greater, respectively. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_323f135b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Averted in standard DC series games, but played straight in other themes where Super-Villains or Super-Villain equivalents are ordered from lowest cost/weakest effect to highest cost and strongest/no effect, or at least tiered accordingly. Also averted by the Main Deck in any game. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: While Crisis Mode can slip into Unwinnable territory at any given moment, trying a harder difficulty as suggested in the manual can result in this depending on what challenges you take and how you shuffle. More specifically, "Don't use Arkham Breakout/Immortal Villain as the first Crisis. Randomize it!" and "Shuffle the remaining Crisis cards into the Main Deck...." If Wave of Terror or Reshaping Our World is first or comes up too early, you automatically lose. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: In a normal game, the JLA/Fellowship of the Ring wins, even if nobody even thinks about tackling a Villain. Even if Super-Villains remain when the game ends, some Super Hero wins. Impossible/Crisis modes avert this. | |

Ability Required to Proceed | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_3f2503af | comment |
Ability Required to Proceed: Crisis cards. Each one has a "To Beat" that specifies a number of cards of a certain type/cost that must be in a certain place that any or all players must have. Inverted with Super-Villain Solomon Grundy (Crossover 1). Technically you do still need to collect stronger cards to build up the Power to take him down, but he can't be defeated without a Starter, i.e., one of the ten junk cards you start the game with. | |

Heroes Prefer Swords: Zig-zagged across the series. The only sword in DC Comics belongs to Deathstroke. Heroes Unite has Katana (the character, not the weapon) and Soultaker Sword for the taking. Forever Evil has a Broadsword, which is Deathstroke's ideal card. Played straight in Middle-earth games. Averted/inverted in Naruto Shippuden, with Zabuza's/Suigetsu's Executioner's Blade. Played straight in Attack on Titan, where Swords is the new Green Arrow's Bow. | |

Power Copying | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_4c24a9ed | comment |
Power Copying: The X-Ray Vision and Starro cards let you play cards out of opponents' decks. Watcher in the Water (Fellowship of the Ring) has the same Attack as Starro. Swamp Thing (Crisis 1) has a variation: he "controls all Locations in the Line-up and in play," so if an opponent has a Location up, he can copy it. White Lantern Deadman's Super Hero ability and Black Lantern Martian Manhunter in Crisis 2. Clayface and Catwoman in Rivals 1. Eclipso in Crossover 1 copies ''all'' opponents' Super Hero abilities and playing the top card of each foes' deck! Tanden Engine in Street Fighter. Gedo Statue in Naruto Shippuden. Rorschach's Super Hero ability in Crossover 4. Ino (Naruto) and Jericho (Teen Titans) are straight examples, as they actually add opponent's Character/Super Hero abilities to yours temporarily. | |

Shock and Awe | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_4c798fd5 | comment |
Shock and Awe: Shockingly, subverted throughout the series. While a number of Shock and Awe characters do appear in the game, there are no elemental game mechanics to match them, or their abilities don't lend themselves specifically to electricity. Downplayed with Blanka (Street Fighter), whose Ultra Attack is "Lightning" Cannonball, though it's not much different from the rest of the Ultras. Electric Thunder, his Super Power, is in the game, but has no connection to the player character other than picture. Lightning Lad's (Crossover 3)) ability revolves around Villains, few of which are electrical. His Super Power and Equipment, Electricity and Lightning Rod, can be used by him but do not correlate with his game ability any more than they do the other Legionairres. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Card text in the first two DC installments is pretty small. Cards in subsequent releases have larger text except in cases of a Wall of Text, usually on Super-Villains who have both detailed effects and First Appearance—ATTACKs. The cards from the original DC have no set tag, which as the flagship product is understandable; however, every DC-brand main deck or expansion afterwards does have a set tag except the very second installment, Heroes Unite. | |

Friendly Enemy: The normal Villains. Outside of Crisis Mode, they behave identically to Heroes, waiting patiently for you to amass enough Power to recruit them.

The Smurfette Principle | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_5d753b19 | comment |
The Smurfette Principle: At first, the only playable Super Heroine was Wonder Woman, and females in general are sparse throughout each series. Heroes Unite downplays it with Batgirl, Black Canary, and Starfire (promo only), but it gets played straight in The Lord of the Rings which has Eowyn as a promo in Two Towers and a regular in Return of the King; Street Fighter features Chun-Li and Cammy; Crisis 1 has Zatanna Zatara; Forever Evil has Harley Quinn; Crisis 2 has Indigo-1 and Red Lantern Supergirl; The Hobbit has no girls until The Desolation of Smaug's Tauriel. One of Teen Titans' advertised selling points is the aversion of this trope. | |

Unblockable Attack | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_778b1d91 | comment |
Unblockable Attack: The rules clarify that if a harmful effect is not explicitly labeled an "Attack:" then it cannot be avoided with a "Defense:." In Street Fighter, Hugo makes your next Attack on the same turn unblockable for one foe. In the same set, Dhalsim's Yoga Catastrophe is half-unblockable. Anything with the words "Stack Ongoing:" can't be stopped. Played straight in Crisis and Impossible Modes. In Crisis 1 Identity Crisis (2004) renders the next Super-Villain's First Appearance—Attack unblockable and in Crisis 2 Heroic Sacrifice automatically kills off the Super Hero played by the person who defeated the last Super-Villain, gives them a new Super Hero, and drops 2 Weaknesses on each other player. The Super-Villain Impossible Lex Luthor's First Appearance—Attack is always unblockable. Subverted with Impossible Graves whose "unblockable" attack is to conjure up two blockable attacks from the Line-up and/or destroyed pile. Also in Crisis 2, Impossible Mongul and Impossible Doomsday have attacks that harm you in other ways if you Defend or would be unaffected. | |

Crutch Character | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_7deb3fb1 | comment |
Crutch Character: Supergirl. Her card effect lets you put a Kick from the stack into your hand, giving you +2 Power for the turn and 1 free VP, but once all 16 Kicks have been taken, Supergirl has no effect. J'onn J'onzz in a game with a "Blue" Super-Villain}. JJ allows you to play the current Super-Villain, making him relatively powerful up until you reach said Blue Super-Villain (primarily in Crisis or Crossover games), who is only good for Victory Points and has no play effect (since the game ends when they are taken). Any Lord of the Rings character can be this, since all that differentiates them is a single card in their deck that becomes increasingly rare as the game goes on. Raw Recruits of Rohan (Two Towers) will self-destruct after one last play once The Wall is Breached. Azog in The Hobbit if you're playing through to The Desolation of Smaug, like the above J'onn J'onzz problem. This is even lampshaded in the manual. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: There are hundreds of ways you can sabotage yourself in Crisis Mode long before realizing it. To give a couple of examples, you could spend the entire campaign steadily destroying Weaknesses, only for Rise of the Rot to appear, forcing you to waste up to 20 turns waiting for either all players to have a Weakness on-hand or for all 20 Weaknesses to be in circulation, when instead by not destroying too many Weaknesses, you could have ended Rise of the Rot within a couple of turns. Perhaps the nastiest example is with the Forever Evil deck: if you try "Shuffle the remaining Crisis cards into the Main Deck," then by defending with Cosmic Staff, thereby gaining the bottom card of the Main Deck, if you accidentally pull a Crisis from the bottom—where it probably never would have come up if you played normally—no one would blame you if you swallowed a bullet right there and then. | |

Com Mons: While each Super Hero's ability suggests they chase after cards of a certain type, most 2- and 3-cost cards, esp. Attacks and Defenses, can find their way into anyone's deck due to their being most likely the only thing available to you in early turns. Aside from Kick/Valor, the go-to +2 Power card which is always available in multiples in every game until they run out, examples include Kid Flash and Power Ring in DC; Balrog, Juri, Sakura, and Urien in Street Fighter. | |

Comeback Mechanic: Averted 99.9% of the time, but there is this one gem in Fellowship of the Ring: The Witch-King's Group Ambush will reward the player with the most Courage cards (a Starter card you're actively trying to get rid of) on hand at the time by destroying them, letting that player draw his hand back up, then passing out Corruptions to other players. Not an exact Comeback Mechanic, but logically implied. | |

Heel–Face Revolving Door: Gollum / Smeagol (Two Towers) is an Enemy that becomes part-Ally when The One Ring is in play. He becomes this if the Ring goes in and out of play. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: The Forever Evil set comes with many Evil Counterparts to playable Super-Heroes and Main Deck cards in the original DC Comics set. Playable Super-Villains Lex Luthor, Black Manta, and Harley Quinn (Forever Evil) to Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and The Flash (DC Comics), respectively. Cheetah (Crisis 3) is also, appropriately, an Evil Counterpart to Wonder Woman. Main Deck cards Johnny Quick and Giganta to Kid Flash and Mera. From Forever Evil alone, there's Emperor Penguin to Steve Trevor, Grid to Vibe, Man-Bat to Catwoman, Atomica to Steel, Deathstorm to Phantom Stranger, and The Blight to Amanda Waller. Ultraman/Owlman/Superwoman/Power Ring, who increase in Power the more there are destroyed cards of the types Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman/Green Lantern specialize in. Inverted with Power Girl (Forever Evil) to Gorilla Grodd (DC 1). Red Lantern Corps (Heroes Unite) and Orc Rider (The Hobbit) to King of Atlantis, i.e., Aquaman's Hero card. M.Bison to both Fei Long and Dhalsim in Street Fighter. M.Bison's Ultra Attack is similar to Fei Long's, and M.Bison's Counter-Attack is a Hero-bashing opposite to Dhalsim's Villain stopper. Inverted with Clarence, a good guy with the same ability as Harley Quinn. An odd example: Killer Frost (Crisis 3) to Kakashi (Naruto). Both have an ability that borrows a cost 4 or less card from the Line-Up. Inverted with Keith Shadis (Attack on Titan) to Killer Croc (Heroes Unite). | |

Feed It with Fire | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_9bbd4fca | comment |
Feed It with Fire: Bizarro, both as a Main Deck card and playable Super-Villain, benefits from having Weaknesses; the former increases your score with each one and the latter can gain and trade them away at will for extra draws. Lesser examples can be found in Middle-Earth games, where cards such as Dark Have Been My Dreams (Two Towers) and Goblin Scout (The Hobbit) add Power if played on the same turn as Corruptions/Despairs. Kili the Dwarf (Desolation of Smaug) gets +2 Power when he plays Corruptions! Certainly takes off the small Sting that he can't get rid of them. An odd example can occur in Crossover 1: Solomon Grundy is worth 1 VP for each Starter Card you possess. If a foe tries to pass a Starter to the owner of Solomon Grundy, they unwittingly increase his score. Eren's (Attack on Titan) strengthens him when he sustains a Wound. Downplayed since Heroes who have two Wounds in one turn die. | |

Archer Archetype: Green Arrow (Crisis 1), Legolas Greenleaf (Middle-earth games), Bard the Bowman (The Desolation of Smaug). Most arrows/archers in Cerberus Games have easy access to or misc. bonuses from Villains and Super-Villains. Crossover 2 is the exception here, since it's all about Arrow anyways and the point is to switch things up. | |

Time Travel: The name of a new game mechanic in Crossover 3, which allows you to play a card off the Line-up at the cost of not getting to buy or gain that card on the same turn. Also in Crossover 3 is the Super-Villain Time Trapper, whose attack will take opponents' cards into the future... which is whenever Validus, two Super-Villains later, is defeated. Time Machine (Cartoon Network) gets you out of trouble and deposits itself in your immediate future... which is the top card of your deck. | |

Luck Manipulation Mechanic: Various cards that allow you to look at/reveal/modify the top card of your, another player's, or the main deck in some way, since many other card effects both good and bad are conditional based on your/their/the top card, especially if you need to accurately guess what it is. Jay Gerrick (Crossover 1). Every time you go to draw a card, he'll look at the top card of your deck so you can decide if you're drawing that or discarding it and drawing the next. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Captain Cold in Crisis Mode. If Captain Cold (both normal and Impossible) attacks during Identity Crisis, his attack, which the Crisis renders unblockable, flips your Super Hero face-down until he's defeated, negating any abilities you have—except Identity Crisis already did that, and part of ending that Crisis involves flipping your Super Hero face up again, allowing you to defeat him at your fullest. Also in Crisis Mode, Impossible Black Manta, Darkseid, Sinestro, Amazo, Arkillo, and H'el have First Appearance—Attacks that take cards of a specified type that you own and put them into the Line-up. While normally a large setback, if coincided with Final Countdown, this can result in them pushing you closer to your goal (though not necessarily in the exact way you had in mind). | |

Unique Enemy: Deathstorm (Forever Evil) is only a 4-cost card, yet there's only one of him. All Villains (and Heroes) in Cartoon Network are one-of-a-kind. Crisis 3 has no doubles of its lower-cost Villains, unlike the previous two Crisis ExpansionPacks; this is due to the inclusion of Hidden Objectives cards. | |

Confusion Fu: Fake Shot (NHL Power Play) allows you to drop the puck in the middle of your turn. In order to score a goal, you need to pick up the puck before doing anything else that turn, and while you have it, Attackers draw extra cards, racking up your Power, but you are locked out of buying new cards. The trope comes into play when your opponents drop their Defenders after seeing you take the puck. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: In Crisis Mode, Super-Villains are not "destroyed" like regular Villains are, meaning you cannot use Hades via J'onn J'onzz, Alternate Reality, or Black Lantern Power Ring to bring their game-breakingly powerful effects into your deck. In Crisis 2, Rise of the Dead causes any cards destroyed while it's active to be removed from the game entirely, meaning they cannot be revived by card effects. Disintegration (Crossover 4) allows the Secret Mastermind to actually remove one of the Loyal players from the game, limit once per game. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Superman's Super Hero ability. Superman cannot receive multiple +1 Power boosts by playing multiples of the same Super Power card, unlike Batman with Equipment. This because the always-available Kick card is a Super Power, so Superman cannot raise himself to an easy 15 Power (for reference, all Super-Villains and Final Bosses can be defeated with 15 or less) by spamming 5 Kicks. | |

Batman Grabs a Gun: Played with regarding the Trope Namer. Batman's ability grants him a Power bonus when playing any form of Equipment—guess what this game's guns are. There's no moral or story-driven reason for Batman not to Grab a Gun, and to win he'll probably do so coincidentally. His Hero card, Dark Knight (DC Comics), will automatically collect all Equipment in the Line-Up, including guns (and his own skull). That being said, no installment with Batman or one of his allies actually includes a gun. | |

Lightning Bruiser | |
| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_db6230b7 | comment |
Lightning Bruiser: You'd expect The Flash, whose ability dictates that he goes first and also draws one extra card when he plays a draw card, but Aquaman qualifies too. Normally, cards you buy or gain go straight to your discard pile and you must wait a couple/few/several turns before reshuffling and drawing them; Aquaman can put any card with cost 5 or less on top of his deck, gaining access to it next or even the same turn. Aquaman's Trident replicates Aquaman's ability without the cost restriction. Solomon Grundy also has this for himself when bought/gained. A few Heroes in The Lord of the Rings start out with a +2 Power card. Of note is Two Towers Gimli with Very Dangerous Over Short Distances, a +2 Power card that can be used in succession at the start of the game. In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Bilbo Baggins and Bofur the Dwarf have abilities similar to Aquaman's and Bombur the Dwarf has the same ability as The Flash (minus the "goes first" part)! | |

| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_e5066b68 | comment |
11th-Hour Superpower: Crisis Lex Luthor could pull in a late extra Super Hero/Villain. Could also apply to any excellent card buried in the Main Deck, typically an 8-cost or higher. Played straight with United Kingdom (Street Fighter). It's the second-to-last Stage and is the single most powerful Location in any installment. The UK automatically gives you the top card of the main deck for free every turn, but given the structure of the game, without the help of Cammy, Delta Red, you probably won't get another turn after taking the UK, or at least not get to put it in play before the game ends. | |

| Cerberus Engine Games (Tabletop Game) / int_e6630c8b | comment |
Gameplay and Story Integration: Johnny Bravo (Cartoon Network) is bad with women, so it takes him 1 extra Power to get Female cards. Crisis 3 provides a good example with Impossible Johnny Quick. Being a Flash villain, he eats up the Speed Force which translates into preventing players from drawing cards, the chief effect of all Flash-related cards and Super Heroes. However, the playable Super-Villains Killer Frost and Captain Boomerang—Flash/Arrow-related enemies—are ideal for defeating him since they have abilities that let them play extra cards while bypassing that restriction. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Between sets, sometimes you see the same exact card—same type, same stats, same effect—show up under a different name, e.g., Doomsday (DC Comics) and Brother Blood (Heroes Unite). Despite being the same card, since they have different names, they count as different cards. More often, you see a card that is the same except one or two small details have been changed, e.g., Katana, who is exactly the same as Lasso of Truth, only a Hero instead of Equipment. | |

Department of Redundancy Department: Subverted with Black Lantern Blue Beetle (Crisis 2). When played, he forces each foe to discard a Defense then he attacks, forcing them to discard all Defenses...but if you even have Defenses left after the first effect, you could simply defend. The true power of this card is that it forces an opponent's hand—they can't simply let Attacks hit them in order to play their Defenses for +Power or wait until another, more devastating attack, such as from Black Lantern Martian Manhunter or the next Super-Villain to defend, they have to defend now. | |
