The Crime Stoppers don't seem to fit ANYTHING in the overall story, and are even mentioned as just basically a tacked on amusement for Godsend, like a kid bringing in other action figures while playing a game for no reason other than to go "and then Superheroes show up!"
I think this is the perfect description of GODSEND, and exactly what he did.

True...actually how Swarm has been booking GODSEND made me think of that exactly. I think the Crime Stoppers are a perfect example of what a fed of the future would likely have and I'll enjoy doing things with them.

I think Godsend bringing in the Crime-Stoppers shows just how impulsive he is and how far he will go to amuse himself.I also think Tom has planted a seed that perhaps Cosmic woman and Endgame will be ultimately who vanquish Godsend.I think the new era and jumping on point in 2136 won't include Godsend but I could be wrong.

Ok, so I bought the PDF and read it and I have to say...I'm not feeling it for this set as written. Maybe it's just because I've "up to you promoter"'d my fed too much, although I can work most of the changes in well enough, but the story seems... I hate to say it, weak. I really dislike the way Maramus and Nightmare just get captured off panel and go out like chumps along with Vallah. I don't know if I'll ignore it or what, but I was hoping for a lot more from those two. The Crime Stoppers don't seem to fit ANYTHING in the overall story, and are even mentioned as just basically a tacked on amusement for Godsend, like a kid bringing in other action figures while playing a game for no reason other than to go "and then Superheroes show up!" I think they are cool and all, but I don't feel any connection to them at all as characters in the GWF. I will figure out how to use them in my fed, but as presented in the official handbook I'm not as impressed as I wanted to be. Although there are some great creative things I can do to work this story into my fed, I just really feel underwhelmed by this plot in the overarching Universe Shattered story. GODSEND is so OP that actual superbeings are in the story now and I still don't believe he's a threat that can be overcome. And with 2136 being announced as a new starting point my only guess is to think "maybe GODSEND just erases it all and we get a new universe where none of that ever happened, because right now there seems to be no way GODSEND isn't winning everything." Edit PS: AND WHERE THE FLIP IS GAURDIAN? He's built up as this strange, powerful, otherworldly cosmic being. Now there are actual superbeings who can wrestle but Gaurdian was deemed to powerful to hold belts or be ranked?! So where is he?! Did he get chumped out like Maramus and Nightmare too and it wasn't worth mentioning?! Is he going to help the Crime Stoppers as another cosmic powered ally?! Is he in a space cocoon morphing into his next state of being?! Not even a sentence in the "where are they now" section. Just POOF, gone. Why?! Kind of agree with this. Although overall still exciting and good, every recent set feels like a big new idea or resetting of the table quality. Sooo many characters seem to come and go without ever really developing because the next new big thing is coming a year later anyway. Just my two cents.

This really seems like a wasted addition. Where is the counter to GODSEND? Every great villain has a great hero. Where is that great hero? It can't be Endgame because all GODSEND got do is banish him. The power cosmic or whatever it is called is supposed to be near infinite and yet Cosmic Woman can't stand up to GODSEND. These so-called superheros are doing GODSENDS bidding instead fighting on the side of good just shows that they are not superheros. Why is it that GODSEND can let ENDGAME and the heros disrupt his press conference and does nothing about it, but yet will banish Witness, Maramus, Nightmare, Vallah and will erase the superheros home word? What was the point with Maramus and Nightmare? If the whole point was for GODSEND to erase this universe and to create another universe where this didn't happen the last few game editions have been pointless and a waste of time. The only worthwhile points to 2135 is that Helsin, Double Cross, kenji got new cards and the return of Endgame. Everything else was a waste of time.

Now that the GCon crew got their sets, is it okay with the FG staff if someone posts the artwork here for the remaining characters not revealed? I am anguish to see the artwork for Endgame's card.

I hope its ok to post that here.Im not sure how that will work out in 2135. With Sudden Death at least 7 Wrestlers will drop out at the End of the Year.Even worse is that no one is save from getting picked.The Crime Stoppers are by what it looks also just getting Cards for a one year stay.That would be twelve Wtestlers out.Not talking about Maramus and Nightmare

I think the Crime Stoppers will probably be at least two year cards and I could see Skull being around longer than that.

Is there a official tag team for them? Hoping to see soon how they will do with their superpowers against other Wrestlers.Especially the Skull
