The set will also include the wearable 'rings of the Mandarin'. These will be randomly inserted in the five-figure boosters. Acquiring all 10 rings will give the player great power. The release will also be supported by an organized play program.
This new set will introduce a new combat ability: Improved Targeting. Improved Targeting allows players to make ranged attacks against enemies in new ways not previously available to Marvel HeroClix.

Today, Deadpool has his own comic book series and a movie adaptation is also in the works. However, Marvel's "Merc with a mouth" made its debut appearance in the February 1991 issue of New Mutants #98. In what could quite possibly be a record for books published from 1985 to the present, a mint copy (graded "10") of New Mutants #98 sold for almost $16,000 at a recent Comiclink auction.
