Good Lord, what were the chances of TWO guys posting up builds of The Unicorn simultaneously?

Good Lord, what were the chances of TWO guys posting up builds of The Unicorn simultaneously?

No doubt. Isn't there a law against that much suck being posted in such short order?

Funny thing is that I was looking at The Fly the other day and had him on the short list so we might have had two dual crappy character posts at the same time.

Comments: Lodestone is a Darkhawk villain who is a magnetic controller. Don’t know a lot about her (or Darkhawk, really) but I like that type of power set, so she becomes one of the disposable villains of Earth-217.

Not putting her with The Hood, though, I have to leave a few mooks to be free agents.

COMBAT: Base Attack +5, Melee +10, Ranged +5, Grapple +16 [Unarmed +6 (Bruise); Joystick Strike +8, 19-20 Critical (Bruise/Lethal)]; Defense 21 (13 flat-footed); Init +12; Knockback -3

DRAWBACKS:

Abilities 48 + Skills 7 (28 ranks) + Feats 20 + Powers 40 + Combat 22 + Saves 5 – Drawbacks 0 = 142 / 142

Comments: Some may not be familiar with Joystick, but she rocks, especially as a bad girl gone good, then bad again, which did one a great Thunderbolts arc. She was a former Marvel villain who became a Thunderbolts member, then turned on the team (shocker). Now, of course, you expect The Thunderbolts to do that sort of thing, but the way she did and her reasons were very well written, even if the overall plot was the usual implausible “cosmic game” thing comic writers do with characters like the Grandmaster and such.

On Earth-217, she moved to Bludhaven to work full time for one of Nightwing's new nemeses...nemesises?...nemesisesises? Whatever...she's going to be a pain in Nightwing's side for a while.

SAVES: Toughness +7 (+6 flat-footed), Fortitude +5, Reflex +7, Will +5

DRAWBACKS:

Abilities 21 + Skills 19 (76 ranks) + Feats 16 + Powers 32 + Combat 26 + Saves 11 – Drawbacks 0 = 125 / 125

Comments: Heat Wave is one of my favorite Rogues. He, like the other Rogues, is a one-trick pony that can cause Flash problems just because of that one trick. And that's why I love The Rogues. I gave him Seize Initiative to give a him chance to get the drop on Flash, who can be taken out quickly if you catch him flat-footed.

In my setting, he's splitting time between the Rogues and working for The Hood.

Comments: Captain Stingaree is another swashbuckling villain that went about against Batman. After years of obscurity, it recently came to light in the reboot of Justice League a couple of years that he is in a closeted gay relationship with The Cavalier. He was recently whacked by Scandal Savage in an issue of the Secret Six but never fret, he's still alive and kicking on Earth-217, ready for some other hero to pwn him at a moment's notice!

DRAWBACKS:

Comments: You know, for crappy characters, The Blood Brothers are surprisingly tricky builds. For those not in the know, they are long time Marvel brick thugs who have been involved in rumbles with all kinds of Marvel heroes, ranging from Iron Man and Spidey to Cosmic Marvel characters like Drax and Nova. Their “tweak” is that they are only really strong when they are in close proximity to each other. Get them more than a few feet apart and their strength fades. Get them more than 20 yards apart (according to Marvel) and they are no stronger or tougher than an average human. I couldn’t get the range math to work out quite right on that for all their abilities, but I think I got it close enough to where a good 50ft Knockback will put them in danger of getting toasted the next round for sure. Of course, like good long time Marvel jobbers, they are working for The Hood.

Comments: Sabretooth is one my favorite villains. He’s a killer, pure and simple, he knows, everyone else knows and he doesn’t give a #$@. That's why he doesn't get a berserker drawback, he's berserker all the time because he never holds back.

This Victor without an Adamantium skeleton, because I never liked that and he doesn't need it. He's stronger and just as fast as Wolverine and quite a bit tougher. He hits harder and regenerates from major wounds a little faster thanks to Wolverine's healing factor battling the Adamantium poisoning so he should split fights with Wolvie about 50-50, which has been the way things have gone for them the past 10 years or so. I thought about making him a PL12, but I wanted them to be pretty equal in case I actually square them off.

In the near future, I want to test him again some DC characters, one from Gotham in particular.

I will buy tickets to that one.
