That's for sure!

Builder’s Notes:
Here he is , Crimson dynamo, from the iron man: armored adventures cartoon show. In a nut shell he is most combat worthy. He’s missing a lot of skills , and probably some super sense powers too. So he’s naturally under costs for his PL, since there’s a lot of background missing from this build. But there he is. I took the character based on that show, and assumed from being in space for 2 years he has naturally learned to use the armor. Otherwise i would have given him +0 on his attack and defense.

I went for PL 10, with a trade off to make him slightly harder to deal with. You might want to take his toughness up a little bit, with a larger trade off. But this I really wouldn’t suggest it. The Crimson dynamo is a combat monster when being used upfront and personal, he has a lot of the Area (line) attacks on most of his manuevers. So fight this guy at a range, or with attacks that have extended reach. Or just be really quick to avoid him.

Over all though, I know they are trying to appeal to a younger crowd. But from just that one episode I watched, I really didn’t like the kid angle. On the plus side, im liking the new ATT forum look.

Excellent work. You have to admit that episode was combat-heavy, especially when the Crimson Dynamo picks up that fuel truck, bats Iron Man with it, hurls the truck at Iron Man, and then lights the fuel from the leaking truck!

BTW, you mind doing three more Iron Man Armored Adventures conversions for me?

Iron Man (his armor is strangely different from the comics; I never saw Iron Man use a force field) [Just about every episode that's aired so far] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Man's ... Adventures

Whiplash (he's a lot more creepy and quicker than he was in the comics)
http://nicktoonsnetwork.nick.com/shows/ ... lash.jhtml

Blizzard (he's no longer a pushover in the cartoon, which is a good thing) http://nicktoonsnetwork.nick.com/shows/ ... -war.jhtml

Also, the new Think Tank layout looks good.

Thanks alot Mike! Glad to see you like my work, and good to see you once again around the forums.

I like the powers that "Crimson" Dynamo has. I imagine that you could Stunt further Super-Senses if need be.

I haven't seen this show yet (I work weekend mornings) how is it?

It's actually quite good. The show features teenager versions of Tony, Rhodey, Pepper, Mandarian (yes, the Mandarian), and Hogan. A lot of Iron Man's rogue gallery (except for Killer Shrike who was an enemy of the Hulk and SPider-Man) are given revisions, which makes them look a whole better than their comic book counterparts. For example, Blizzard and Whiplash are a lot tougher and stronger than their comic book versions. Stane, however, looks like Lex Luthor!

However there was a price to pay for Victory, and my one true love died upon the field. Yes, i still dream of my love.. So yes, i can dream. And yes, i even have Nightmares. "

I found this to be a really interesting build, mixing martial aptitude with some more supernatural powers. It's the sort of character I'd like to read about in a novel or something.

Thanks Alexander, he's a really cool character concept. I wanted to go pretty crazy with the build, and then i turned it around and tried to stay within my High Fantasy guidelines. Which is basically 20 pp/Level. I want to expand on his story and stuff, but that will have to be during a second update. He's pretty much bare boned and lacks the detail i would have liked to put into him. I suppose the character concept i came up with, was far beyond the scopes of normal character creation. I'm already pondering a rebuild, so i can give him some extra stuff by docking his Dream Control/Illusion powers.

I agree. Very cool character concept. I also like the name a lot. Its always fun to come up with names for fantasy characters. (Of course, sometimes your mind can come up blank tyring to think of names. That can be a drag. )

That's true in most cases , however in my game by default almost all powers are subtle in nature. Unless they are permanent.

Also to add into it. There is some validation for a flyer such as Superman who flys quiet as a whisper (via antigrav etc) and someone like the Dynamo or other armored types who sue rocket thruster boots or jet packs ((which make loud roaring noises, give off high heat signatures etc))

the distiction usualy comes into play with battle suit style characters due to the nature of their flight powers

Yeah, this is a very old debate when i first got into the rules as they were written in the 1st printing of the 2nd Edition. And my option is a valid option to the rules. The point was, if certain powers could be chosen as either noticeable or obvious by choice, it would make the Noticeable drawback rather pointless.
