Comments: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

GET OFF AQUAMAN!

Founding member of the Justice League. King of the Seas (#$%@ Namor). Can lift over 25 tons. Can summon a horde of great whites to eat you, a swarm of jelly fish to poison you or a whale to crush you. I built him at an over pointed PL12 and feel like I short changed him.

And yet all he takes is crap. Let it go, people. Let it go.

In the Thorpacoverse, Aquaman is a reserve member of the Justice League while he continues to deal with his duties in Sub Diego since Attuma has taken over the city of Atlantis and has declared war on all the undersea kingdoms. Orin and Namor have a shaky alliance in hopes that they can overthrow him in the near future.

Clean Up 11/15/09: My first update on J-Mart II goes to Aquaman. Since I was basing him on the awesome Alex Ross version from Justice, I had forgot his regeneration and I added some Progression to his Animal Control (thanks Baron).

Clean Up 4/28/10: Minor tweaks to Aquaman again. Just made him more of a PL11 with a PL12 ability.

[Kal'El Wayne]

I've always wondered if Batman shouldn't have the Attractive feat. I know Batman wouldn't, but wouldn't he be able to use it as Bruce Wayne, Gotham's most eligible bachelor?

Edit: For the record, I always thought Aquaman was awesome.

Comments: Always loved J’onn. And holy buckets, has he been a kick arse Black Lantern!

For this run at J'onn, I split his main powers out more and took his ranks in Shapeshift down to 4, where in my first build of him from a couple of years ago, I had him at like 8 ranks. But everything should be there, the super strength, the telepathy, the flight, the ability to go intangible while shooting Martian Vision at people...he's a monster and half. He's really one of those characters that should be pretty much unbeatable, but he never is.

On Earth-217, J'onn is a key member of the new JLA, normally staying on the Watchtower and assigning missions and coordinating activities, but at Diana's behest, he is spending more time in the field and trying to assimilate with humanity.

Clean Up 4/25/10: J'onn drops a PL, but generally remains the same. I'm really glad he's back in the DCU.

[Thorpacolypse]

I've always wondered if Batman shouldn't have the Attractive feat. I know Batman wouldn't, but wouldn't he be able to use it as Bruce Wayne, Gotham's most eligible bachelor?

Edit: For the record, I always thought Aquaman was awesome.

Good point. I may slide that in. I've even toyed with giving Batman the Normal identity drawback and building out Bruce Wayne separately because more often that not, Bruce tries to be a the playboy and almost klutzy at times to throw off suspicion about his identity. Although, before he died, it seemed like half the DCU knew his identity now.

Comments: Barry Allen is The Flash. Period.

Jay Garrick is cool and wise, Wally West did a great job, Bart Allen WILL be a good Flash. But Barry is the man. In the dour world of mainstream comics these days and the total cluster that was Final Crisis, Barry’s return was a total breath of fast moving fresh air. I don’t care if comic deaths don’t stick, in some cases, they shouldn’t. Love Barry, love Hal, love Ray Palmer and I am glad they are back and they ARE NEVER going away in the Thorpacoverse, mark my words. And Ralph and Sue Dibny are still kickin’ it, too. Long live the Silver Age!!!

Now that I got that out my system, here’s my take on Barry. I still just don’t have a good feel for speedsters, and from a gaming standpoint, they’re really a pain to deal with because they are so freakin’…well, fast…But they are fun to work up. I gave him the standard Super Speed power as opposed to the breakout of Speed and Quickness that I had used before. Even though I am not worried about PP, I do worry about game mechanics so I only gave him 15 ranks (Wally will get 16) because I didn't want him to be a light speed too easily. I almost geared it back to 10 and I may depending on the playtest. I also took away that drawback for getting pulled into the Speed Force if he was dying from extra effort. Consider that a GM option, though.

On Earth-217, Barry came back from the dead during the Thorpacolypse and is a member of the JLA. He's also trying to make up for lost time with Iris and deal with Bart's immaturity and Wally's new insecurity about him being back.

Oh. Oh, wow. That's like Jesus saying 'I like to think that if I wasn't mad at being nailed to a cross, I'd be as forgiving as that guy.'

You know, in case you feel like using a different pic for Wonder Woman, I came across this awesome pic recently.

[Thorpacolypse]

You know, in case you feel like using a different pic for Wonder Woman, I came across this awesome pic recently.

Wow. That is a cool pic. I'll definitely consider it. I have to give props to Michael Turner when I can, though. I miss his work.

[Thorpacolypse]

Well, let's see, we have Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Flash and Aquaman of the original 7 JLA members. That leaves just one more item to round out our JLA ORIGINAL SEVEN line. And it's also a GREEN LIGHT Special!

Comments: Like Barry is The Flash, Hal is the Green Lantern. I love John, Guy and Rayner is growing on me, I know Alan Scott was first and I love the GL Corps concept. But Hal is THE Green Lantern. Period.

From a build standpoint, I went back to a more basic GL style build. I mimicked Taliesin's structure for a while, but I thought it was a bit cumbersome to play for my simple mind, so I went back to build the ring differently for each GL style. I did make the ring itself a minion so that will be going on each of my upcoming GL builds. I should have Sinestro and Atrocitus reworked and posted here shortly. I might hit a few of the other Corps, too, but I don't think I am going to add any Black Lantern stuff to this setting, though. They'll go on the main J-Mart because they're a short term deal. I hope...

On Earth-217, Hal has joined The Avengers with Captain Atom and others. His relationship with Wonder Woman and Batman has been strained since the Civil War, with him on the pro-reg side and they on the others, so he didn't want to rejoin the JLA. But time heals all wounds. He's also trying to start over with Carol Ferris, but that's off to rough going.

Clean Up 5/31/10: I really liked my latest ring structure I used on a lot of Lantern builds at J-Mart I so that set up now comes over. I need to scale down my other Lanterns for this lower powered setting, but Hal remains a PL13 since he is the man.

Here's the Oan Power Ring as a minion:

Comments: The mastermind himself, Ra’s Al Ghul. I pulled him straight over from the original J-Mart after a quick review as I realized I really like him the way I had him, so he just joins the setting as is.

Generally, this the Ra's that everyone knows. Lots of skills, peak human abilities, tons of minions and an Ubu as you can see below.

Comments: Always loved the Kingpin as a villain. My latest revision of him was definitely to my liking so he gets ported over to the main setting as well.

Kingpin is meant to sit back, orchestrate things and let his goons do the work. But when he gets into the fray, he can handle himself well against most street level heroes. He’s strong, a master of interaction skills to get opponents flat-footed, he’s a grappling beast and if all else fails, he can usually call in a more dangerous mercenary to bail him out.

In the Thorpacoverse, he has been working to regain his empire that he surrended during his hiatus and while The Hood has a big chunk of his former territory in New York, Fisk is regaining his power base slowly but surely as well as looking to expand to other East Coast cities that have costumed protectors...

Whew....big day of posting. 8 builds in one day, hadn't done that in a long time. But considering that most of this builds are just revisions of ones I already did (some SEVERAL times already), they don't take as long.

The setting is coming along, I just need to post a few more "core" builds and I'll be set to playtest. Coming up soon are Earth-217 builds of:

Spidey
Cap
Luke Cage
X-Men (the big names, anyway)
The Hood
The Hood's gang of D-list villains
Grodd
The Shredder
The Foot
The Hand
The TMNT
Deadpool
The Bat Family
Spidey's Rogues' Gallery (including my first run at Kraven)

And many more. Thanks for shopping at J-Mart!

[Woodclaw]

Wow, I'm speechless from the amount of big names you were able to stat/revise in such a short time. Definitly a great work.

[Alexander]

Wow. That is a cool pic. I'll definitely consider it. I have to give props to Michael Turner when I can, though. I miss his work.

Me too. His illustrations were awesome.

Also, that's one wicked scary Ra's! Batman will have his hands full with an opponent like that!

[The Ilethryl Knight]

8 awesome builds, all in a single day! I am jealous of your incredible productivity.
