Profile - Henchman
The Character
Origin : One day a few of the brighter Thugs working for various villains throughout the city, realised that if they were gonna spend their lives fighting people who can fly, shoot laser beams out of their eyes, or crawl around like spiders, they needed a little balance...  They bought handguns, and the Henchmen were born

Real name : Various

Occupation : Slightly Better Hired Goon

Powers : Able to stand in the way. Block lines of sight. Get carried to their certain doom. Take out support figures. Slightly damage lower point characters.
The Clix
Rookie :  For 11 points, faster than a Thug.  Stronger than a Thug.  Four range and 2 damage for a click means that you can even take on characters with Toughness (Mr. Hyde, Hercules, Kingpin, Controller) and damage them.  If you have 20 or 30 points left and don't wan't to buy another 'full on' hero or villain character then go for a few Henchman.  Believe it or not, Henchmen can survive the whole game.  No really they can.

Experienced :
For an extra point, you get an extra click of health and a defense score that stays higher, longer.

Veteran :
13 points for the ultimate in Henchmennery.  attack values stay higher, longer.  2 damage for 2 clicks, another extra click of life, definitely worth it, just to see your opponents face when your Henchman makes the final hit on Ultron.
