Although he's not technically a superhero, Joss Whedon might as well be one, and now he's got his own Heroclix miniature to prove it. (Embiggen.)

To promote Morgan Spurlock's Comic-Con documentary Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope, Whedon, Spurlock, Stan "The Man" Lee, and Ain't It Cool News's Harry Knowles are each being turned into Heroclix figurines with thoroughly appropriate special abilities.

One of Joss's moves is "Neil Patrick Harris." It's hard to imagine how anybody could top that.

The four-figure package is part of a Comic-Con Episode IV DVD set, which is not yet up for pre-order.

Pre-release photos of Heroclix figures for The Avengers may have spoiled one of the movie's most-discussed plot points.

Along with some choice quotes from our heroes -- Spoiler: Nick Fury says "You better save me, I'm the boss!" at some point -- there's also a figure for a major villain.

Here's where you stop reading if you want to go into the movie unspoiled.

So, it looks like Loki's alien army, which Marvel has said is definitely not the Skrulls, is the Skrulls after all. One of the Heroclix is a Skrull Infiltrator with the ability "I can look just like you."

Spoiled by a toy! Ah well, at least it wasn't a Pez dispenser this time.

The Avengers hits theaters on May 4th.
