Comments: How can you not love Harley? One of the greatest things to come out Batman TAS and still going strong in the DCU. Her classic, "mixed up girl in love with the WRONG guy" style has endeared her to more than one of us whose one at least one of THOSE relationships...

Thanks to a little power up she got a few years back, she's actually a pretty serious street level threat. With her strength that equals my Batman and peak human dex, she can Acrobatic Bluff just about anyone then come in with a pretty serious smack with her mallet or pop a cap with her gun on a flat-footed opponent.

In my setting, she has broken off from Mistah J and is living in Gotham with Holly Robinson. She hangs out with Selena Kyle and Poison Ivy as well. They’re not really heroes, well, Selina is, but they’re not really villains, either. But they sure are having fun!

This LADIES' NIGHT Special is also a GREEN LIGHT Special!


I hate men. Because of what they do. They clip. They prune. They make us remake ourselves into what they want. A Madonna. A whore. A partner. A foe. And we do it. Because we need.

Comments: Really happy with this version of Ivy. She’s still a threat to the Bat family, but less of a team threat than my original PL11 version was. She won’t hit with some of her touch range attacks as often unless she Bluffs well and gets her opponent flat-footed (which she should do most of the time) but don’t sleep on her. With her plant powers, she can wreak a lot of havoc.

In my setting, as usual, Ivy is her own woman. She's been leaning more towards the heroic side of the law recently due to her associations with Catwoman, Holly and a trying-to-reform Harley, but she still has her own agenda, which is of course her concerns about the environment and all plant life.

Comments: Big Chimpin’ in the Da House! Much love to Detective Chimp. I was skimming Day of Vengeance at my local shop and I got a kick of him so I decided to whip him up. I don’t know a lot about him, but from the Wikis and skimming some other builds, I felt like I had enough to work him up for my setting.

His background is that he is a super intelligent chimp that has become one of the best detectives in the world and currently he runs with the mystical DC team of Shadowpact. He’s so good at investigating; Batman has actually consulted with him on cases via chat room. He’s not great shakes offensively, but he can get by against thug types, but that’s not his gig. He’s about figuring out things and getting the team in position to win.

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

DRAWBACKS: Power Loss - If unable to absorb cosmic energy [uncommon, minor; -1]

Abilities 26 + Skills 11 (44 ranks) + Feats 10 + Powers 65 + Combat 30 + Saves 12 – Drawbacks -1 = 153 / 153

Comments: The middle Summers’ brother, Havok has a weird history in the Marvel U. Well, I guess for comics, it’s not THAT weird but being Cyclops' long lost brother, spending time in another dimension, getting depowered, repowered, put in limbo and now having a lead role in the Marvel Space Operas, he's pretty much done it all.

As a build, he's a powerful energy controller. I got rid of the whole uncontrolled flaw thing since he really doesn't seem to operate that way anymore. He can lose his powers if he is deprived of the ability absorb cosmic energy for long enough, but that doesn't happen often. He's not great shakes on defense, though, so he's kind of a glass cannon.

In my setting, he is leading a team of X-Men and still dating Polaris (coming eventually, but not for a while). He's become one of the lead X-Men with Scott now leading the Justice League.

Comments: The Wendigo rocks. Long time Marvel big time powerhouse and Hulk punching bag, the Wendigo has now gotten more run as a pack. I took advantage of that for some playtest/minor story on my original thread, of course, I may continue it or rework it a bit.

Have to say, that picture's pretty reprehensible. Jennifer's barely even green!
At least she's not skinny...

Comments: Diamondhead is an old Nova foe who popped up in the 70’s and met his end not too long ago at the hands of Cap (accidentally). He got shattered by a shield strike from Cap and Nova did something similar and he also got shattered in space, too, if memory served so I have a 2pp drawback since apparently the guy can’t keep himself in one piece!

Generally, though, he's just another lunkhead powerhouse to rumble with some heroes for a while, but ultimately get pwned in the end.

Clean Up 4/15/10: Arch goes down a PL to get in line with new PL philosophy.

Comments: Had never taken a run at Doc Samson so I thought I would do so while I was on a Hulk-verse run. He’s been around for quite a bit of the Hulk’s history, sometimes as a friend, other times as a reluctant antagonist, other times not so reluctantly. Regardless, he’s been an intriguing character, part powerhouse, part gamma powered Dr. Phil.

I didn't go with the new version of Doc where he has developed a Hulk like alter ego called Samson that is beating the crap out of everyone, but I may go that route later. As it stands, this is a powerhouse build with his psychiatric expertise mixed in. I even threw in the old drawback he had where if you cut his hair, he got weaker.

On Earth-217, Doc is now part of the cleaned up Initiative, working with the new recruits and I continuing his research into a cure for Banner and other gamma powered beings.

Comments: Gotta love ol’ Gambit, mon ami. He’s just a fun character to play. He can scrap, sneak, blast, work the ladies…he’s just fun. And he speaks Cajun! And let me tell ya, my wife and I started working with folks from Louisiana about 5 years ago and after hanging with them and traveling to the Big Easy, I have much love for New Orleans and Cajun country and that whole charmin' the women thing is no joke. There's a couple of guys here that make the women melt, with that drawl and that "chere" thing.

The funny thing is that I was dead set I was not going to bring him in at 150pp and I really had to stretch to get him there once I refined what I wanted him to do. So I threw in Passing Attack to get him 151pp just because I like it. I changed my build of him to a Thrown Strike instead of a blast and I think that fits what his power does more accurately. Once I get more of the X-Men done, I’ll have to test it.

In the Thorpacoverse, Gambit has recovered from his wanderlust/loopy period and is back with the X-Men on a part time basis. He has mainly been focusing his efforts on New Orleans, working as one of the city’s protectors. However, like Catwoman, he can’t quite give up the thrill of stealing, so he still dabbles in thievery from time to time for right price or challenge.

Comments: Really, what is there left to say about The Joker? Ledger’s take, Nicholson’s take, Hamill’s take in Batman TAS, dozens of different DC writer’s takes…they all have something you can love or love to hate about him. Without a doubt, the best villain DC has ever done, and I really like their villains over Marvel’s by and large. He's batsh*t crazy and there's no coming back and that's the way we like him.

As a build, I went all out on him, in a classic version type of way. You can't intimidate him, can't hardly lie to him, can't get to his mind since it's a nightmare maze in there, can't poison him and it's hard to outthink him. You basically have to get through his traps, Gadgets and guile and pound him into submission and that's what Batman has learned to do.

As far as his role in Earth-217 goes, he's in Arkham at the moment, waiting for something fun to happen so he can join in. And the escalating gang war sure seems like his kinda party...

Comments: The standard soldier archetype for my setting.

And believe me, I am about as anti-war as you can get, but the soldiers have my total support and I want all our soldiers to come home safe and sound to their families. It's the people that sent them over to that unwinnable war that I have issues with...

[Nite_Owl]

Great soldier build. Why those particular feats, though?

[Arkrite]

Accurate Attack: Switching your gun from full auto to burst to single shot to get better aim.

Assessment: being able to gauge an opponent to discern your chances for a successful engagement. (What weapons are they carrying, are they heavily armed, wearing armor, backup?). Basically training from boot camp and experience to help them decide when to stand and fight and when to retreat.

Equipment: *insert snappy comment here in spite of obvious fact that this one was never in question*\

Admittedly that's just my assumptions.


And I find it hard to disrespect any man who's willing to give up their life to save mine. Come back alive boys!

(... Sadly I have never had any problem disrespecting politicians)
