Kreuz Control: SHOCKMASTER!, Genesis, Apex

[Mike5000us]

Hey Kreuzritter, I just went thru all 77 pages of your thread just now and I just got to say WOW!!! I curious as to how you are producing these builds so fast and can I ask a request. Can you make a overall "Designer's Notes" for your build? How do you rank out your characters abilities, skills, combat capabilities and power.

the image may be from the venture brothers, but this writeups all me. The Time Bandit is one of those guys from a utopian future who wound up bored out of his skull, so he went back in time to the old west. 5 minutes later, he was again bored, but felt the old west had potential if given the right incentive. that this involved phased particle beam rifles and a geneticly modified T-Rex was beside the point, so long as he had his fun. Naturally, a band of time travelling superheros put the kibosh on that plan, and after getting his stuff back the time bandit decided that the 21st century would be a lot more fun

Not everybody has a trust fund like that insect ex-boyfriend of yours! If you think I'm going to go back to a diet of ramen noodles and spaghetti-o's, driving around in a Honda Accord with a ghost on the hood, sorry. I have plans.

Phantom Limb was a relatively easy build, having gotten lots of screen-time and detailed background. his killer hand thing has been a point of debate at times, but given the described aftereffects (re: "Victor. Echo. November") PL's death touch acts like your typical mind fry. so, a few combat feats to capitalise on this, and then it was just a matter of making him an accountant in Spandex

star of one of the only comics to be recognized as manga, Usagi is more or less a fuzzy version of famed samurai Miyamoto Musashi, and a dang good swordsman (note: usagi is not the best swordsman in his setting, but he easily makes the top 5). he's also made several guest appearances on the new TMNT series (indeed, he's actually in the opening credits as of season 4)

Usagi is built to act as either a duellist or goonsweeper, using traditional swordfighting and jujitsu in addition to his own inherent speed to get the edge.

a classic relic of the cold war, the crimson dynamo's gone through any number of owners. however, for our purposes, we'll say the suit is currently in the hands of a former KGB agent

a recurring marvel foe, the gray gargoyle's petrification needs a little explaining. the continuous is not so the raget is frozen indefinately, it's the requirement for making his power permanent (anything gargoyle touches turns to stone). those touched by him automaticly return to normal after an hour

yes, that's right, the 666th build on this thread is the big guy himself... well, a representation of the big guy himself, just to give your players something to fight instead of the PL-X nightmare that truly is cthulhu.

Praise be to the Great Old Ones! Amazing Job!

[Kreuzritter]

so, I hear you guys thinking: what can possibly top that?

well, howabout i'm announcing my next batch of team conversions. nearly two dozen characters this time, all grouped from various shows under a singular heading:

who you ask?

howabout...

The Masters of Evil!

all the way from Beetle to Zemo, if they had masters membership, they get on the list. i'm even sweetening the pot by throwing in guys that don't have real membership, but wouldn't look out of place in the lineup

[Dr Archeville]

w00t!

[prabe]

Ia! Ia!

Somewhere Howard is shaking his head and smiling.

[Kreuzritter]

now, before I get started, i just thought i'd be nice and point out masters members already on this page

Crimson Dynamo
Gray Gargoyle
Hydro-man
The Lizard
M.O.D.O.K.
Ultimo

and, for the record, i will be drawing from the comics and Marvel: ultimate alliance for the majority of the Masters. however, as said above, there will be those who aren't on either team, but wouldn't look out of place on the roster
