HeroClix
Encyclopedia
HeroClix is a collectible miniatures game
that uses the Clix system. Originally designed and produced by WizKids
, it is now owned and marketed by NECA. Players construct teams of comic book
heroes, villains, and other characters from popular video games such as Street Fighter, Gears of War, and Halo. Build your team to your liking and play out a battle between the teams turn-by-turn on a grid map.
HeroClix utilizes the combat dial system created for Mage Knight
, which keeps track of a figure's game statistics via a rotating dial in the base. As the figure suffers damage, the dial is turned to reveal new stats and special abilities. HeroClix was designed to appeal to comic book fans, players of wargames
, and collectors. The base set, Marvel's Infinity Challenge was released in 2002. The original HeroClix figures were all from comic books printed by Marvel Comics
, but later expanded to include sets from DC Comics
and from various independent publishers such as Image Comics
and Dark Horse Comics
. Later expansions also added new card-based mechanics such as Feats and Battlefield Conditions, expanding the game beyond the addition of new characters. As of March 2009, there are approximately 3,300 different HeroClix figures, maps, and game play items (as listed on the BattlePlanner web site).
The expansions won three awards at the 2002 Origins Awards including Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Game Board Game for Marvel HeroClix: Infinity Challenge.
WizKids had a prize support system for organized tournaments at comic book and hobby shops, as well as regionally and nationally, consisting of special limited edition variant figures given to winners. It is expected that full scale organized play and prize support will resume, now that WizKids has been purchased by NECA. (The new NECA subsidiary will be known as "WizKids".)
There were three companies known to be interested in acquiring the WizKids properties: Catalyst Game Labs
, which works primarily on print role playing games; Piñata Games, formed by HeroClix enthusiasts and former Wizkids employees with the primary purpose of buying and continuing the HeroClix line; and a newly-formed third company. However, after Catalyst apparently withdrew, the third company failed to get funding, and Justin Ziran of Piñata joined Topps, NECA
announced that it had purchased the majority of the Wizkids properties, including HeroClix, on September 15, 2009. As of July 28, 2009, NECA were selling the "Thor's Mighty Chariot" big figure at a convention in America. As this had not been released by Wizkids (although pictures had been seen) prior to Topps closing WizKids down, it came as no surprise that NECA were the purchasers of the brand. The relaunch of HeroClix occurred with the release of "Hammer of Thor" in November 2009.
and has various statistics associated with it:
These statistics are all printed on a dial that serves as the base for the miniature. When a piece takes "damage", its base is turned a number of "clicks" clockwise, revealing altered stats to correspond to the damage it has taken. Most damage weakens characters, although some actually get stronger when wounded, to represent a transformation or rage.
Pieces have point values representing how powerful they are. Opposing teams are restricted to a predetermined total point value, which is usually a multiple of 100.
Near the Number of damage dealt is the range and how many times they can attack, which is shown with a number with one to three lightning bolts next to it.
Battles are played out on maps, overlaid with a grid of 35 mm x 35 mm squares. These maps come in two different sizes 3 ft by 3 ft (36" by 36") or 2 ft by 3 ft (36" by 24") (with the exception of the Marvel Universe Starter Map which was 13 by 13 squares). The maps used are of different locations found in a typical comic book story. The older maps were generic places but recently the maps have taken on more comic-book-specific places, such as the Justice Society
Museum.
Street Fighter, Gears of War, and Halo all count as their own Universes, for the purposes of tournaments. Lord of the Rings is expected to be utilized the same. All figures from all sets are mutually compatible, except Star Trek, and can be played in the same game in the Golden Age rules. While none of them, along with sets under the Indy brand, can be played in a Modern Age tournaments as the rules excludes anything not under the DC and Marvel brand.
There are currently three different versions of Foom - the standard Green version, the much rarer Orange Limited Edition (Only at San Diego Comic Con and Essen Spiel'07), and the "Purple Pants" Foom (Only available at Venues participating in the 2008 Wizkids Convention Weekend).
A repainted version of the Galactus
figure was released alongside the Avengers set (again, as a Tournament exclusive), as were new versions of Terrax
, Firelord, and Silver Surfer
, as well as Stardust
who had not had a figure previously. Players should note that there are several printing errors on the Firelord dial (He is missing three clicks of Toughness, followed by three clicks of Energy Shield/Deflection).
Starro the Conqueror was released in October 2007 (Tournament exclusive, linked to the Justice League release), as well as Starro-controlled versions of Aquaman
, Green Arrow
, Green Lantern
and Flash
.
(see Announcement)
Thor's Mighty Chariot was released in July 2009 via the NECA Company at ComicCon in the USA. It came in Wizkids packaging, although it had not been released at the time of Wizkids closure. A release date of August 15, 2009 was given for its general market release, and it was generally available from September 2009 onwards.
The 18" tall "Big" version of Dr Manhattan from Watchmen will be released as a convention exclusive figure at a Convention (San Diego ?) in the Summer of 2010.
Starting with Universe, Starter sets contained collectible figures not found in boosters.

boosters: Colonel America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Hulk. These are technically the first dual-branded figures as they appear in a HeroClix set yet come packed with HorrorClix
monster cards, making them fully compatible. Although further Zombies appeared in the 2007 set Mutations and Monsters, the original four figures were not reprinted. These 4 figures may be used in both HeroClix and Horrorclix games.

Sale of WizKids
WizKids was acquired by The Topps Company in 2003. Topps later announced that as of November 10, 2008, Wizkids was ceasing production of all its product lines, including HeroClix. Scott Silverstein, CEO of Topps, said “This was an extremely difficult decision. While the company will still actively pursue gaming initiatives, we feel it is necessary to align our efforts more closely with Topps' current sports and entertainment offerings which are being developed within our New York office.” The property was expected to be sold to a 3rd party in May 2009, but the deal failed to close in April 2009. Topps was believed to be considering producing the next HeroClix expansion ("Hammer of Thor") under its own banner, (possibly for release at the US GenCon convention) prior to any future sale of the franchise to a third party. While a Marvel license "to manufacture figures and card games" had been acquired by Upper Deck, this license did not specifically relate to HeroClix. Topps still owned all the rights and licenses for all versions of HeroClix, and Justin Ziran of Topps said that the Upper Deck deal would not prejudice the manufacture of further HeroClix product.There were three companies known to be interested in acquiring the WizKids properties: Catalyst Game Labs

- Four super-rare DC chase figures; rarity approximately one figure in every eighty Origin boosters: Lois Lane, Alfred Pennyworth, Queen Hippolyta, and the Wizard Shazam.
- Two further super-rare DC chase figures, the Superman from Earth 2 (Kal-L), and the Superman from the Kingdom Come story line. The two figures are the same sculpt, but with different costumes and game statistics / dials. These are found in the DC Crisis boosters, with approximately 1 per eighty boosters.
- World's Finest. (Part of the DC Crisis expansion set) This is a single (large based) figure of Superman and Batman. It has a game value of 500 points. This figure was released in March 2008 as a mail away promotional piece, in a limited and numbered edition of 5,000.
- Two further super-rare Marvel chase figures, The Skrull Queen / Jessica Drew version of Spider Woman; and the Skrull Lyja Lazerfist, impersonating Susan Richards, the Invisible Woman. These are seemingly as rare as the two Superman figures mentioned above, i.e. approximately 1 per 80 boosters of the Secret Invasion set.

- The Joker (escape from Arkham). This is a 2 x 2 based figure, showing the Joker escaping over the wall of Arkham Asylum. It is a mail away promo for the Arkham Asylum set. This figure employs a 'prison break' mechanic, in the comic book flavor of villains being knocked out and taken to jail. Each time the figure is KO'ed, the controlling player places it in his starting area, randomly selecting one of 3 dials that the figure possesses. Despite the closing of WizKids, orders for this product were filled on a time-sensitive basis. Those orders received by Friday, November 14, 2008 were honored.
- Two further Super-Rare DC chase figures, Batman with the Sinestro Corps ring, and a modern continuity Batman, (known by collectors and players as the "Lamppost Batman") were released in the Arkham Asylum expansion, with similar rarity to those above.

- There are ten Super-Rare chase figures in the DC75th expansion, White Lantern Ice; White Lantern Green Arrow; White Lantern Bart Allen; White Lantern Donna Troy; White Lantern Hal Jordan; White Lantern Animal Man; White Lantern Superman; White Lantern Flash; White Lantern Wonder Woman; and White Lantern Superboy. These are thought to be approximately one per brick (or 10 boosters) making them more common then previous chase pieces.
- There are 4 Super-Rare Chase figures in the Giant Sized X-Men expansion all of which are double (peanut) base Duo figures: Cable/Deadpool #055; Colossus/Wolverine #056; Cyclops/Phoenix #057; Gambit/Rogue #058.
