===Meet The OverPower Team===You're in a heated game of OverPower. Both you and your opponent only have one Hero left. You have ventured your last two Missions to win the game. And then -- "We're going to be off schedule if I don't get  the proofs back for Mission Control today!"Yup. That's Terri Calpino. Mom, we like to call her. She's the one who makes sure that deadlines are met so that your OverPower product will ship on time. And she's the one who's broken up many heated games of OverPower in the office to do it. But there's more to project management than making deadlines."As Project Manager, I coordinate all  the packaging, interface with our designers, create schedules, and help determine when products will be released. And yes, I have to remind the guy that while playing OverPower in the office is beneficial to testing new strategies and rules, we also have to make more product in order for other people to play."Don't get us wrong, though. When Terri sits in on games in the office, she's quick to bring out her "You Go, Girl!" deck. "Since I am the only woman on  the team, I thought it might be nice to create an all-girl deck so I could trounce all over  the guy's decks." And, does it ever! Terri's front line Heroes are Domino, Silver Sable, and Black Widow, with Elektra in reserve. All of Terri's front line Heroes are amply equipped with Avoid 1 attack Specials and Elektra has her BP Special that allows her to attack from Reserve slot. "Right now, I'm playing with 'Dark Phoenix Saga' Missions so I can use the Event Cards 'New Lease on Life,' and 'Phoenix Rises from Ashes!' ".And how do the girls fare against the boys? "What do you think? They make quick work of them so we can all get back to work!"===The OverPower Alternaverse: Your Chance to Build Your Dream Team===An alternate reality. One extraordinarily similar to ours. In many ways, a ''mirror'' image of our world, yet  the reflection is somehow... ''different''. The best of friends might be bitter enemies. Long-time allies could be fierce adversaries. And the strangest of missions are undertakaen by the strangest of teams.* Is Iron Man behind the reassembly of the Infinity Gauntlet?* Are Mr. Fantastic and Mr. Sinister secretly working together?* Have the Black Cat and Elektra joined the Avengers?'''Write and tell us the story of your OverPower Alternaverse.''' The Legion Member with the best tournament legal team (no more than 56 points on their combined Power Grids) will get to see his/her story in print, along with a rendering of the winning team by one of OverPower's hottest artists! If that's not enough to make you break out your pen or fire up your PC, how about this: '''The winner will receive the framed, original artwork of their OverPower Alternaverse Team!''' Please indicate who is on your team, how they got together and why. Don't forget to indicate who's in Reserve and what Mission they're going for. All entries must be 100 words or less and must be postmarked no later than June 15, 1996. Send your entry, along with your name and Legion ID # to: '''Address removed'''All entries become the property of Fleer/SkyBox and cannot be returned.Be creative! What happens in the OverPower Alternaverse is up to you!
