Comments: Now this was a fun build; a PL10/150pp, generally playable Hulk. He’s set up take on a whole mess of PL10 heroes and probably come out on top. Let’s go through the features of this model, shall we?

Again, I set him up to where your best shot of beating him is to take him out early and then get him contained somewhere so he can calm down and become Banner or where you can restrain him with something that can contain a 103 effective strength if he start raging and is still Boosted. Other than that, you have to outlast him for 20 rounds and then he is very beatable. And good luck with all that…

His Absorption on the Impervious Protection allows him to soak the first 7 ranks of damage and then convert it into super strength which will continue to stay high as long as you keep hitting him. When raging and with his Mind Shield, he’s got a +10 Will save, so your telepaths better hope he rolls bad if they want to try and Mental Blast him.

Offensively, he’s pretty straightforward. He hits harder than any of the other PL10 builds I’ve done because he’s The Hulk and he’s the power standard for the Thorpacoverse, at playable or NPC level (Superman-Prime not included, of course). He’s the baddest PC I’ve done, or will do.

Not counting, Walker, Texas Ranger, of course.

[Elric]

Power Loss is a minor uncommon drawback on a particular power, worth 1 pp for each power (regardless of how many pp that power cost- this is a source of problems). So Power Loss [Impervious Toughness, to magic] should be 1 pp. Of course, you've built Supes with Protection (Extra: Impervious) and Impervious Toughness, so in theory you could take a power loss drawback on each and get 2 pp for that. Or you could only lose one of the two and get 1 pp.

So long story short, I can reword the drawback for 6pp for the Power Loss and then drop the Vulnerability to one pp and be at the same point, and be generally OK, or I can give back 2pp and adjust my build...

Rewording is a'comin'!

Sorry, one thing I didn't get right: Power Loss is minor intensity, but can range from 1-3 pp in value, depending on how frequently the drawback will come up. However, most power loss drawbacks tend to be Uncommon- for example, losing Protection or Impervious Toughness against magic only matters when Superman is hit by an attack with the [Magic] descriptor that forces a toughness-save. Very nice Hulk, by the way. You don't want to mess with him!

[Libra]

That one's for you, Libra! *smile*

Good Thorpacolypse. For this your goats shall be returned unharmed.

He does actually look the part in that picture though, which helps.

[Thunderstrike]

I think it is great that the J-Mart can take all of these great heroes and package them into a PL10. I can't wait to see what you do with them!

[JackGiantkiller]

You realize Hulk is PL 9.5 defensively due to his growth, right?
Defense +, Toughness +16=19/2=9.5.

[Arnwolf]

Could you please tell me what book has the extra:absortion on
Impervious Toughness. I would love to know how that works.



Nathaniel Adam = Captain Atom...well, it's better than Arthur Light and Victor Friesz, I suppose...

Comments: I’ve been a Captain Atom mark for a while now, so he was one of the people on my short list to make a PC build of, since that is my new passion. I didn’t really have that hard of a time paring him down from my PL13 build, really, I just trimmed his Absorption and few other things and he slid in perfectly. I wanted his blast to be a little more powerful, but in the end, I wanted him to be a little more about melee combat, so I left his blast at 8 ranks and arrayed it off his Enhanced Strength to save points and keep his Absorption at a high rate.

[kerianvalentine]

I want to make both our Hulks fight.

Badly.

[Thorpacolypse]

I want to make both our Hulks fight.

Badly.

Thorpacoverse Hulk (or Earth 69 Hulk) vs. Kerevision Hulk, eh?

Let 'er rip, Kerian!!!

[Thorpacolypse]

Could you please tell me what book has the extra:absortion on
Impervious Toughness. I would love to know how that works.

It's from Ultimate Power. You can take Impervious Toughness or Protection and a +3 modifier for one type of absorption, +4 for both. The advantage of taking it over plain Absorption is that you get the extra protection THEN the Absorption as opposed to pure Absorption.

[Thorpacolypse]

This J-Mart favorite hitting Aisle 2 is a special that will STICK AROUND for a while...

Knock, knock...

Who's there?

YOU SUCK!

Shut up, Randal!

Comments: Here is my first attempt at a PL10/150pp Spidey. It’s OK, but I can see some tweaks in the future. I decided to lean a little on Challenges for some of his abilities, but I felt like I got the most of his stick and move fighting ability and his web-slinging while still making him technically solid.

Clean Up 5/4/08: Minor, minor tweaks to this version of Spidey. Added Defensive Strike and a couple of other minor tweaks.

Comments: You knew I couldn’t wait much longer for a playable Wolvie…

He was a lot easier to build than I thought. I just trimmed the fat in his regeneration and feats and I built him with a dependence on his Rage or other feats to hit his caps and there you have it. He’s still a melee combat beast and still is hard as hell to keep down. Not surprisingly, I’m going to unleash him soon.

Clean Up 3/7/08: A couple of tweaks to this playable Wolvie build. I messed up some math before.

Clean Up 2/21/09: Since I was getting ready to throw my PL11 PC Wolvie into my current story, I figured I'd better check it out. While I was doing so, I realized I needed to look at all my builds of him and this PL10 version was the first, since I knew I would build the PL11 version off of it. Made a lot of changes, getting rid of the Auto-Fire on the Strike extra from his Adamantium skeleton, trimming some feats and adding more PP to skills and increasing his Strength and Con scores. I took a few PP from his regen because I have read many times that X-23s is better and his was better when he didn't have his Adamantium skeleton because his body is constantly fighting the Adamantium poisoning.

Awesome , looks like you covered everything pretty good with Wolverine.

Comments: The Doctor is in and he is a kick arse PL10. I managed to represent all his main items with lessened abilities than normal, but they are still very useful and his magic is still very effective, especially considering he would be competing against similar level opponents. It was tough to pare him down, but I really wanted to try him at this level since I already had 3-4 other high level builds of him on the shelves and he's always been a fave of mine. I think he came OK.

[JoshuaDunlow]

Now thats impressive, in toning down Dr. Strange. ! Awesome work.

[Thorpacolypse]

Now thats impressive, in toning down Dr. Strange. ! Awesome work.

Thanks, Joshua. I spent a LOT of time on that build compared to the other ones. Normally I can knock out a build in about 30-45 minutes max and that counts researching other builds in Wikipedia or on the Tank, formatting it in Word and cataloging it in my database (which is why I always know how many builds we've posted). That one took me about 90 minutes. I did have a lot of interruptions, but still, it wasn't easy.
