Revenge of the Calvinball

My son has been designing his own war-game with his Marvel superhero Lego mini-figures and a board he constructed for the heroes and villains to fight over.  Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon and our many games of Heroclix seem to be the inspiration of the current version of his creation.  There's no dice and combat resolutions are very subjective but the lists of powers are very true to the characters involved and it can be fun to a play a game with no sense of balance or traditional gaming logic.  For at least the first 30 minutes, then the disparity between the large amounts of HP characters have versus the small amount of damage the attacks inflict starts to make the game drag a little.  However the joy of sharing my favorite hobbies (comics and gaming) with my son and watch him create his own game more than makes up for the current lack of game balance...

Cars hanging off an elevated bridge are a "must include" item to any superhero scenario...

The Marvel heroes must be fighting in a upscale Manhattan neighborhood as evidenced by the roof top pool shown above...

Thanos is down but his minions are going full throttle against the Avengers on the bridge!

Much to my son's annoyance, I tend to invent my powers on the fly; like when the motorcycle mounted Outrider in the background charged his bike straight into Captain America.
