| Why haven't there been Highlander Clix yet? |
"There can be only one!"
Highlander Rules are an effort to make Hero Clix Teams more comic book based and less generic war game like, encouraging knowledge in the source material the game is based on. With the Highlander Rules only one version of a character can be used. Sometimes it is simple, such as when there is only one version of a character in print, like with Mockingbird (Sin). If you use the Veteran version of Mockingbird, you cannot use the Rookie or Experience versions. Some are a bit more complicated and require some knowledge of the characters, like Wolverine. If you include Veteran Logan on your team then you cannot have the REV versions of Wolverine or Patch, the other versions of Logan or the LE or Unique versions of Wolverine or Weapon X on your team.
In this entry you will find an extensive list of characters that are similar or the same. Use this reference when building your teams. In addition you will find an entry detailing all the various alternate reality versions of characters that constitute wholly separate characters.
You can always ask a the presiding Judge to make exceptions for your team, as long as it has a true basis on comic book or property history. That must be done in advance of turning in your player card for the event.
A special note to players not playing at BuyMeToys.com
Since early 2007, the original page on the BuyMeToys.com Message Board was linked to from SuperGene's HeroClix Resources. This entry now replaces that Message Board Post. This is a guide to help people that want to play Highlander Style, but may not be sure of a figure's identity or if multiple version are present. Some figures you may disagree with. Some figures the author disagree with. But in each case where a figure could have gone either way as "generic" or "unique" the Players at BuyMeToys.com voted and the result is displayed as the description on this reference.
Disclaimer: This list can never be complete. New Clix will be made all the time. Some characters that already exist may become part of an alternate reality by some crazy editorial action from a company. If there are discrepancies of omissions, the author needs to know. Feel free to offer these correction in the comments section below.
Also, it should go without notice SPOILERS AHEAD!
