Unassuming, good-natured Thomas O'Malley had his life turned on end when he was
merged with a teleporting Wardroid in a freakish accident. Inextricably intertwined
at a molecular level, the combined lifeform is neither wholly technological or organic
but rather a unique hybrid of both.
A towering robotic humanoid hulking in at over 7 feet tall and weighing more than
400 lbs, but possessed of the mind and perhaps 'soul' of Thomas, War-Man is physically and mentally
resilient. Fuelled by an incredibly efficient compact energy reactor in
his chest, War-Man produces sufficient surplus to power supersonic flight and devastating
energy blasts. Additionally War-Man has comprehensive integrated communication and
sensor capabilities, and impressive self-repair subsystems.
Dedicated to stopping crime and driven by a do-gooder boy scout mentality, War-Man
was one of the founders of the Millennial Men supergroup and quickly became the
defacto leader by popular acceptance due to his doggedly heroic and determined demeanour.
Often it is War-Man's refusal to relent in the face of adversity and seeming hopelessness
that rallies his comrades to renewed vigour and eventual victory.
War-Man has only infrequently been absent from Millennial Men encounters, and over
the years has lead the team against the likes of Papa Zombie,
The Stygian Fool, Incantrix,
Oblivion, his own nemesis
Mr. Roboto, several interdimensional foes including
Enchante and Princess Primogen
and many, many others. War-Man is widely respected in the superhero community, and he
maintains an excellent relationship with PRIMACY.
Playing War-Man
All of War-Man's cards have an "eV" number (short for electronvolt, a unit of measurement
for energy) printed in their bottom right corner. Many of his cards function by
revealing the top card of his deck or one or more cards from his hand, and using
the eV number(s) printed on the revealed card(s) to determine their own effect.
This is represented by a red box with the letters "eV" printed within, and card
references typically take the form of "that card's [eV]".
This functions identically to Nightmist's "magic number"
mechanic.
War-Man is primarily a energy damage dealer, with some board control and team buffs.
The eV values on his cards range from 0 to 5, averaging to 2.5 across the entire
deck. The higher eV values in the deck allow War-Man to be quite potent, but the
low eV numbers also cause him to sometimes have little or even no effect (1 out
of 10 cards is a 0, 1 out of 5 is a 1). Basically, if played straight, 1/3 of the
time War-Man will be over the power curve, and 1/3 of the time he will be under.
Clever use of abilities that allow War-Man to index his own deck and sort the top
cards in an advantageous order allow a skilled player to optimize this.

War-Man, Resilient Robot
(Promo)
An alternate promo version of War-Man, highlighting his rapid recovery capabilities.
War-Man, Blaster Barrage
(Promo)
A more offensively oriented alternate promo version of War-Man, allowing you to get Primary Cannon into play and keep it there.
War-Man, Battle Mek
(Promo)
When the Millennial Men encountered Enchante and traveled to the dystopian Vinland Hegemony dimension they encountered their other dimensional counterparts. War-Man's counterpart Battle Mek lacks the humanizing traits that make War-Man heroic, and proved to be a ruthlessly devastating foe.

Sensors Array (eV 0)
# of copies: 1
This card gives War-Man a significant amount of board control and can really help a team out. Note that he can manipulate the Environment deck, the Villain deck, other hero's decks, or his own deck...one at a time.
Sensors Array (eV 1)

Sensors Array (eV 2)

Threat Prioritization

Primary Cannon (eV 2)
# of copies: 1
Damage side-grade. Use of this card combined with damaging one-shots allows War-Man to be very offensively oriented.
Primary Cannon (eV 3)
# of copies: 1
Primary Cannon (eV 4)
# of copies: 1
Robotic Recovery

Steelclad Resolve

Timely use of this card and a little luck can keep War-Man in the game indefinitely.
Point Blank Punch
# of copies: 1
Careful use of this card allows a 2 card combo with any of War-Man's 'reveal the top card of your deck' Powers. However there is only 1 copy in the deck.
Energy Reserves
# of copies: 4
This card has little effect on its own (it just replaces itself via Draw 1). Its primary benefit in the deck is the eV value of 5, which empowers many of War-Man's other cards either when revealed off the top of the deck or when discarded (such as to Boot Thrusters or Decisive Barrage).
ConcussiveStunner (eV 2)
# of copies: 1
ConcussiveStunner (eV 3)
# of copies: 1
ConcussiveStunner (eV 4)
# of copies: 1
Decisive Barrage (eV 2)
# of copies: 1
Allows War-Man to get rid of pesky Ongoings / Devices and Environment cards, though at a cost to his hand. A power-play is to feed an Energy Reserves card in hand (which is pretty useless once drawn) to this card.
Decisive Barrage (eV 3)
