Piledriver
Series: Secret Wars 2-packs, Marvel Universe
Release Date: 1/2010
The 3rd and final 2-pack in wave 3 is Marvel’s Piledriver and Hawkeye. I say “Marvel’s Piledriver” as that is what’s on the blister card, clearly Hasbro had a trademark issue with just the name Piledriver. There is now just one wave of Secret Wars packs to hit retail.

Ultron
Series: Secret Wars 2packs, Marvel Universe
Release Date: 1/2010
Comments: Yesterday I took a disapproving look at Ultron’s blister-mate Reed Richards. I am glad to say that Ultron more than makes up for Reed’s short-comings.
