As someone who used to play Heroclix, I would disagree on any notion of it being a balanced game. Its got a worst 'New Hotness' creep then Warhammer. This unbalanced nature also prevents it from really being 'fun' if you want to play with your favorite super hero team, and they are not the new hotness.

We took a long look at a lot of the things we hated about Heroclix, Warmahordes, 40k, and other games when making Brushfire so that it is simple, fun, and balanced.

While what your saying is true I think it had more to do with NECA buying out WhizKids and relaunching the game. New models are tougher than the originals, but the current spead of minis is pretty on par with each other going forward from the Hammer Of Thor set (which was NECA's first set)

Actually, I was playing long before NECA. I stopped shortly after Fin Fang Foom came out.
