Yellowjacket (Darren Cross)

After learning the science behind Hank Pym's astonishing shrinking suit, the ruthless tech mogul Darren Cross devoted his resources to creating a prototype suit with similar abilities. Cross envisioned this high-power cybernetic rig as a means to take modern warfare to a new level, personally overseeing its retrofitting and weaponization. Cross dons the imposing armor himself in hopes of achieving final victory as Yellowjacket!

Notes[]

The extra turns for That Shrinking Feeling work on any granted Invisibility, or his own, but if the Invisibility is granted because of a Countdown tile or some other board effect, Yellowjacket will not add extra turns to that CD tile or board effect.
