Why Wolverine?
It's from X-Men: Legends, a 1-4 player co-op console game I used to play heaps with my brothers and a friend. At the start of the game there was only Wolverine until he came into contact with others who could join him, and naturally being the oldest I got to be Wolverine. Then I realised how awesome he was. The ability to automatically self-heal saved us so many times, plus he had some brutal attacks. He was my preferred character to play as from then on, with my second being Gambit. My friend generally played as Storm, and my brothers as Cyclops and Iceman. Before I played my first game of Mafia I decided I better get an avatar, and I remembered that that was my desktop background for ages.
What Dominion card gave you a memorable reaction to it when you first read it?
Torturer, but mostly when I re-read it.
Up to that point the attacks have been pretty mild. Two Militias aren't worse than one and if someone played two Witches, you just sighed and took the Curses. Spy could also be annoying but once you showed a Copper you were pretty safe. Heck, even Bureaucrat wasn't that big of a deal, because you rarely held XX-EEE anyway.
I think the first time we played with Torturer we just assumed it worked like Militia and wasn't stackable so it was a big surprise to our group when multiple Torturers were played in a row. We all thought: "How can an attack this powerful be stackable?"
