DRAWBACKS:

Abilities 22 + Skills 17 (68 ranks) + Feats 22 + Powers 0 + Combat 18 + Saves 11 – Drawbacks 0 = 90 / 90

Comments: OK, so since I was building villains, Princess Python leapt to mind as I was reading (and giggling again) about the Bar With No Name where all the Marvel D-list villains hung out and The Punisher blew up during Stilt-Man’s wake. She was Stilt-Man’s widow and ended up marrying Gibbon after that. (Is a compulsion to marry losers a complication or a drawback? I guess I’ll have to ask my wife. ) I think she’s dead now, but she had a good run for a crappy gimmick. She had no super powers, just always rolled with a big ass snake and gave Spidey, Cap and Iron Man enough trouble to keep getting written. And again, she seems like a good fit for Parker's gang.

Now this version is probably overpowered...OK, DEFINITELY overpowered,but I figured since she did have several run ins with big names, including The Avengers, she should have a little fight in her. I doubled up on the snakes, suped them up a bit and gave her some good interaction skills to set them up. And that Taser can put a hurt on a costumed adventurer type with her sneak attack. She’d be a fun first encounter for a group or a fun “mastermind” behind a plot that should be out of her league.

But good lord, forget all that, the art for her the past few years has been...wow...



Anyway, on to her new babies.

Our UNDER THE HOOD specials continue to flood the J-Mart II shelves! Check out this 3 for 1 special!


You've got to admire dudes who have sucked this much for this long.

Comments: The mighty Enforcers. Long time DD and Spidey villains who have hooked up with The Hood now, but continue to strike out (and strikeout) on their own as hitters from The Kingpin and others. They suck, but they are a lovable kind of suck that keeps writers wanting to keep writing them. They will definitiely get pwned by one of my street level heroes soon.

And here they are, in all their low powered glory!

DRAWBACKS:

Abilities 18 + Skills 7 (28 ranks) + Feats 9 + Powers 0 + Combat 22 + Saves 9 – Drawbacks 0 = 65 / 65

Comments: Montana’s kind of a the leader of the Enforcers and his main thing is wrapping up folks up with his lasso, allowing Dan or Ox to get free shots. He's a decent shot and fairly hard to hit, but like the rest of his boys, he's not going to last long against Spidey without some help.

FANCY DAN

DRAWBACKS:

Abilities 20 + Skills 7 (28 ranks) + Feats 17 + Powers 0 + Combat 24 + Saves 10 – Drawbacks 0 = 78 / 78

Comments: Good old Fancy Dan is the little, quick martial artist of the group and probably the most dangerous, as you can see in the pic. I thought about pumping up his PL a bit, but really, that's just not with The Enforcers are about. They're about putting a two panel fight and then heading back to jail until someone, and in my setting, it's Da Hood, bails them out so that they can suck again another day.

A couple more UNDER THE HOOD specials to end the evening, including this CAN'T MISS special.


Oh believe me, I'll beware this guy.

JAVELIN
PL: 8 (108 pp) – OPL: 8; DPL: 8

COMBAT: Base Attack +7, Melee +7, Ranged +7, Javelins +9, Grapple +9 [Unarmed +2 (Bruise); Javelins +7, 18-20 Critical (Lethal)]; Defense 20 (14 flat-footed); Init +8; Knockback -3

SAVES: Toughness +6 (+5 flat-footed), Fortitude +6, Reflex +6, Will +4

DRAWBACKS:

Abilities 18 + Skills 10 (40 ranks) + Feats 17 + Powers 23 + Combat 30 + Saves 10 – Drawbacks 0 = 108 / 108

Comments: Javelin is a DC D-lister who doesn’t realize he’s a D-lister. He started out as Green Lantern villain back when yellow was a big issue for him and Javelin took advantage of it by making his costume yellow and setting up javelins with yellow paint and effects to take him down. Once that passed, he’s been getting pwned by other DC heroes over the years so he seems like a good fit for The Hood’s crew.

DRAWBACKS:

Comments: Another Marvel jobber that is part of the Hood’s empire, Shockwave. He was a rival of Shang Chi’s, a martial artist who got some bionic upgrades and then a battlesuit. And he still got whooped. But hey, The Hood is making these losers rich, so you can’t argue with mediocrity in numbers.

That's about all I can do with the C and D Listers for now, I need a break from the suck. I'll try to whip up some more later on, incluing Doctor Demonicus, The Masked Marauder and Basilisk because they all have a pretty high suck factor.

[luketheduke86]

The Hood is great, then add in an army of jobbers and he just becomes that much cooler.I like that addition of DC wannabe villains to the roster Thorp. Keep up the good work!

[Darth Morte]

Brilliant run of builds Mr Thorpa. Everyone needs an army of super-powered jobbers at their beck and call.

I think she’s dead now,

Alive; last seen in the pages of Young Avengers. As the mother of one of their newly introduced nemesi the Young Masters. Still looking fine...

[Woodclaw]

Well, this is a major collection of jobbers, if I've even seen one. Just one doubt, given his energy being form the laser is pretty much unkillable, his energy can be dispersed but not destroyed so, in the end, he will simply put himself together again. Given this shouldn't he have Resurrection at a very low level (usually tooks him months to recover)?

[Alexander]

If she ever decides to change her alias, she can always go with Innuendo Lass.

Maybe. I just usually count that type of thing as GM Fiat, really. No good, or even sucky villain or hero stays dead in the comic world, and ESPECIALLY in the Thorpacoverse.

Thanks, Darth. As BARON mentioned in his thread, you need disposable villains to throw at your heroes and since I have a tick about using other people's stuff, instead of using the great NPCs in all the MnM books I have, I am compelled to build them myself. I do plan to do some rumbling with them in near future as to test and kinda/maybe/possibly do a storyline, but I really want to build up the villain ranks so I have lots of options.

I plan on posting revisions of Cap, Wolvie and some of my other faves in the next week or two, but first, more....

New additions to our Villains Line just keep hitting the J-Mart East shelves!

Comments: I've always liked Ultron. He has taken so many forms and incarnations, you could build him anywhere from a PL10 PC type level on up to a PL15 world destroyer and not really be off. I chose to split the difference, and even at PL13, he's a match for an Avengers or JLA type group, especially with his drones.

I made him hard as hell to hurt, he can mess with people's minds, he can invent pretty much anything he wants and he can call on 25 120pp drones that are almost as hard to hurt as my Superman build. He's pure nasty. Pym may suck, but he does good work, if it backfires and has tried to destroy the world dozens of times.

Comments: Atlas is an interesting character and he gets ported straight over from the original J-Mart since I was pretty happy with his build. He was originally a 60’s Jack Kirby creation that only lasted an issue or two and then went into limbo. The new writers of the Superman books dug him out and are making him a new threat for the Man of Steel, and I guess actually Mon-El and The Guardian as well, since they are protecting Metropolis while Kal-El is on New Krypton.

In his re-introduction he took Superman out but he was being assisted by Sam Lane’s new clandestine anti-Kryptonian group who were helping him with...well, I won't spoil it. Krypto did well against him, though, and once Supes figured out why, he took him down. So it’s hard to get a read on his real strength right now but it does look like he has the ability to at least give Superman a real hard time so PL13 for my universe seemed about right. Nothing fancy on the build, all he’s shown is powerhouse ability so far, so that’s the build he gets.

Clean Up 4/28/10: Atlas gets the PL drop to stay in line with my other high level powerhouses.

Comments: You know, I always liked Kraven, even before the legendary Kraven’s Last Hunt, which amazingly enough, I have never read. But Kraven was pretty cool for the 70’s when I was a kid, when the big game hunter was still vogue and shows like Gilligan’s Island and others had episodes with the big game hunter hunting “the most dangerous game…man”.

I love Gilligan’s Island…

Sorry, I’m digressing (although I should do some Gilligan/classic TV builds sometimes). Even though Kraven’s legacy has been tarnished by his crappy kids over the years, he was always a fun, and challenging foe for Spidey, with his physical abilities, hunting skills and inventiveness. I really can't believe they haven't brought him back, but when the highlight of your career is your death (see the epic Kraven's Last Hunt arc), it would be anticlimatic to bring him back.

On Earth-217, however, he's not dead. He's stalking...
