I will buy tickets to that one.

Ditto!

Hmmm...I'll have to get in touch with Don King, see what we can do to properly promote this rumble...Nah, he'll bankrupt me!

I'll get on it week after next. Got an insurance test (why did I sign up for that boring arse @#$@*!& thing?) on the 8th so I have to get cramming for it. I tell ya, if you know anyone with insomnia, have them try studying for an insurance exam. It'll put them out quicker than any medication on the market...

But I've some more builds to post while I'm procrastinating, so I'll get to those on Black Friday.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone! And thanks for shopping at J-Mart!

Comments: Always been a fan of the battlin’ Wildcat. Ted is a brawler, plain and simple, he doesn’t have any powers, isn’t great shakes an investigator or street level hero, really, he just lets his fists do the talking. And talk they can. With the dreaded All Out/Power Attack combo, Attack Flurry and a couple ranks of Improved Critical, he can rumble with just about anyone. He's pretty much the epitome of the PL9 "average" hero that I am using a basis for my setting, although I continue to make way too many PL10/150 builds. Years of programming is hard to fight.

Clean Up 4/15/10: Gave Ted his 9 Lives back since they have reinstated it in main continuity and I personally loved that about him.

Comments: Zsasz is a naazzzzzty street level customer. He’s a challenge for the Bat mainly because of that Withstand Damage feat tacked on with a high level of Toughness and the fact that he is batsh*t (no pun intended) insane and should be (will be) played as such.

He is working for no one in particular in the coming Gotham gang war, but Black Mask is trying to sway him to his side.

DRAWBACKS:

Comments: The main trafficker of info and other…well, less legal commodities in Gotham, The Penguin. In my setting, he in the role of “independent” contractor, using his connections to help all manner of business, legal and illegal, get things done. He’s still making a killing on percentages and with his nightclub, plus running a few activities on the side doing his best to stay below Batman’s radar. He has hired some extra muscle to make sure none of the big players decide to try and make a play for his piece of the city and just to make sure that his "neutrality" is not threatened. But by no means wants to get into the big battle with Two-Face, Black Mask and the others.

Abilities -6 + Skills 9 (36 ranks) + Feats 16 + Powers 59 + Combat 20 + Saves 6 – Drawbacks -5 = 99 / 99

Comments: I always thought Man-Bat was a good idea, but he really hasn't been handled that well overall. Still, he's a decent challenge for the Bat family, even if he's not too tough for Bruce. As a build, he's a pretty straight forward brawler that can fly and he’s still barely a PL8 offensively when flying, but he’s a defensive PL9 when flying, so he's good in the air. Ground him, though, and Bats would wear him out quick.

In my setting, Langstrom is still trying to live down his deeds as Man-Bat and is trying to keep the formula locked away from himself and others. But it's hard to give up that kind of power...

Comments: A cult favorite Marvel villain, Midnight’s Fire. I had started him back when I worked on Night Thrasher for my original thread, but I forgot about him. I finished him up and now here he is for J-Mart II.

I have to admit, this is a purely wiki fueled build, so I could be off on some stuff, but I think I hit the high points. In the comics, he's an arch of Night Thrasher and the New Warriors who got his powers from the Universal Wellspring like his sister, Silhouette and the previously posted Joystick. He originally was a good guy, but after Silhouette got shot, he blamed Night Thrasher and switched to the side of the devils. He become a gang leader/drug lord after that and battled the NW a few times.

In my setting, he decided to get the hell out of New York (way too crowded with both heroes and villains for my taste, I don't care how big the city is, all of the Marvel heroes in one place would be tripping all over one another, not mention how many times a day some supervillain cuts loose there) and go to Bludhaven to take advantage of the organized crime void after the death of Blockbuster. I think he and Nightwing would make a good hero/arch combo.

Comments: Riddle me this?

OK, I don't actually have a riddle, but hey, it's Nygma's catch phrase. And we all know and love the Riddler, one of Batman's most cerebral foes. I did like when he flipped out for a while after coming out of the Lazarus' Pit and was trying to whack Team Arrow, among other dastardly deeds, but for the most part, I like the riddle dropping, sometimes Bat assisting, daddy issue having Nygma.

While this build lacks any sort of physical challenge to the Bat family sans some REAL lucky rolling, from a skill standpoint, he can hold his own with any of them. He's as good an investigator as Nightwing or Red Robin, can build just about anything he wants and can even bring together unrelated events with a little dose of Conspriracy Theorist. He'd be blast to use if you have the time to really think about your adventure.

Here is his sometime minions, Query and Echo.

Comments: I’ve said before that Final Crisis sucked and was a waste of money, but one thing I liked about it was Frankenstein’s small, but key role in the final battle. Not knowing much about him, I did some research and felt I had enough to make a build.

This DC based version of Frankenstein’s monster sticks fairly close to the book until the 1900’s when he starts being a wandering warrior type of hero. Time goes on, more adventures, he gets forcibly recruited into a secret government agency, has more adventures, meets up with The Bride, who has four arms now and is still meant for him (I think, I and do plan on whipping her up), has more adventures, gets into it with Solomon Grundy then helps save the world in Final Crisis.

As a build, he’s what you would expect, strong, but not quite high superhumanly so, hard to hurt and a good fighter since he has centuries of experience. I didn’t know much about the Sword of Michael, but if it is what he says it is, I think I got it close to right. His big drawback is that he can’t really heal serious injuries and if he loses an arm or has an internal organ damaged, he has to get a new part, which I would think that Doctor Mid-Nite, Beast or the like could easily replace.

Comments: Always been a Captain Marvel fan. He’s a tad below Superman, but not much. I probably went a little overboard on his attributes, but I wanted him to be well rounded to make up for his general straightforwardness on offense (punching and then more punching). He's still powerful enough to give Supes a run for his money as he has been known to do from time to time, and hang with Thor, Ragnarok and any of the other big time powerhouses I have, or will build.

In my setting, he is still Billy Batson, still being directed by a SANE Shazam and still has Mary and Freddy as his family. He is, however, being pursued by the JSA, JLA and Avengers for membership, but he's turned them all down so far.

Captain Marvel (and, by extension, the Marvel family) is one of my favorite characters! Love that build, Thorp! Hope you stat the others too. At least (good) Mary Marvel

I've often tried to make a Captain Marvel ersatz to play I never got anything quite as good to shout out as SHAZAM.

I've never thought about a good phrase to shout, but I can see your conundrum. There's really no topping SHAZAM! and SPOON!

Mary, Freddy, Black Adam, Isis and maybe Osiris are coming eventually. Shazam is on the list and heck, I may even take a run at Uncle Dudley! But I have some other Marvels on my mind at the moment.

Comments: I barely remember reading anything with Mar-Vell in it, but granted, he’s been dead a good while. What I do recall was him being in Superman’s league as far as “boy scout-ness” and not even a match for The Thing (what I do recall is some weird Negative Zone with Mar-Vell, Rick Jones and the FF) yet he also went toe to toe with Thanos in some other book I read back in the 70s-80s. But hey, who said comic power levels had to be accurate.

Anyway, I did like him and he is held with great reverence at Marvel and among many of my fanboy brethren so I split the difference and made him a scrappy PL11. I stuck to his about 10 ton lifting level and pretty much swiped the Nega-Bands from Tattooedman’s build with a couple of minor tweaks with my interpretations of his powers from Wikipedia and the Marvel DB.

In my setting, he didn’t actually “die”, he was imprisoned in the Negative Zone and was recently freed by the FF and Avengers. As such, he has joined the Avengers and is continuing to cement his legacy as one of the greatest heroes of all time.
