Comments: Y’all know Cage is my boy. If I do another storyline, you know he'll be in it, somehow someway. Marvel has done a great job with his character over the past 10 years or so, taking him from C-List to pretty much A-list. Or least A- list.

Cage is a street level powerhouse, too much for thugs and martial artist type villains, but quite able to hang with the boys in the Marvel U or Thorpacoverse. In other worlds, he's a fun play for MnM. In my setting, he and Nightwing (and Spidey and Wolvie and Arsenal and some others) have started their own team with Cap and Superman's blessing. (Editor's note: Since the SRA was repealed, Cap, Superman and others made a pact to not to necessarily "self police" the superhero population, but keep closer tabs on them to avoid another Stamford incident.)

I love that pic. Reminds me of myself back when I worked out.

And if you believe that, I have a GREAT deal on a bridge in Brooklyn for you!

Comments: I don’t really care for Roy as Red Arrow, but I dug him as Arsenal so he’s Arsenal in my world. Roy Harper was the original Speedy, famously known for the controversional Green Arrow/Green Lantern comic where he was a heroin addict because...Ollie wouldn't talk to him? Oh well, it was the 70's after all, not like people needed much of a reason to do drugs.

Anyway, since then, he a long time member of the Teen Titans and then Titans and he's floated from book to book in other capacities, like being an agent of Checkmate. Now he's in the Justice League as Red Arrow. But I liked him best in Judd Winick's revival of The Outsiders where he formed the team with Nightwing, Jade, Thunder, Grace, Indigo and Shift. Great writing and he kicked ass as the secondary "jaded former sidekick" along with Grayson. I do love that relationship that he shares with Grayson, like two former frat pledges that went through the same hazing.

As a build, he's Roy as you would expect, a good melee fighter but wicked bad at range. I didn't go the trick arrow route because that's more of his old Speedy gig and has Arsenal he seemed to be getting away from that. As noted above, he is part of the Nightwing's current team in the Thorpacoverse and still getting busy with da ladies, much to Cage's delight as he relives his old philanddering ways vicariously through Roy.

Comments: Cannonball has a become a pretty good character over the years. He’s become a good leader and the Guthrie line seems to have moved into 2nd or 3rd place behind the Summers and Grey lines for producing mutants.

To be honest, I've gone through his build like 3-4 times since I starting this building gig a couple of years ago and I have never really felt like I've gotten his powerset right, although it is a hard one to nail down. But generally, his powers only work when he's flying and when he does, he's tough customer. With an Impervious forcefield, a powerful strike and optional super strength, he can be a tough out. Throw in some good leadership skills and you've good a potentially worthy successor to Cyclops for X-Men leadership in the Thorpacoverse. Maybe...

Comments: My latest take on Petey. Colossus is a pretty simple build, but I tried to add the little touches to make him the Colossus we all know and love. I added a Throwing Mastery and Attack Specialization for the Fastball Special and I gave him some immunity to magic affects, being the great grandson of the great evil Russian sorcerer Rasputin.

Clean Up 4/29/10: I really thought hard about it, but I decided to take Pete down a PL for now.

Nah, he should just have a REAL mug of ale in his hand.

That is and awesome picture. Saved!

Yea Cage is pretty flipping sweet character! His run in the New Avengers has done wonders for him, which is great cause I knew next to nothing about him before then. Oh and the team he's on in your setting sounds cool. any idea what you're going call the team?

[AmericanYeti]

Colossus looks great, even if you made him a hair stronger than I would think. And that quote is hilarious. Good stuff, big guy.

[Thorpacolypse]

Colossus looks great, even if you made him a hair stronger than I would think. And that quote is hilarious. Good stuff, big guy.

You know, I really went back and forth about his strength from 36 up to 40, but I decided to go on the high end since he's been shown to hang with Juggy, Hulk and others for quite a while and he's gotten stronger over the years. Plus, I am generally going to be setting the original X-Men (Iceman, Cyclops, Beast, Jean Grey and Arcangel) and the All New X-Men (Wolvie, Storm, Banshee, Nightcrawler, Colossus) at PL11 and a +15 strength bonus for him at that level just felt right. Well, I'm not putting all of them at PL11, that's too high for Kurt, too low for Phoenix and Angel in his regular mutation is not a PL11 for sure, but by and large, that's my default.

For now. We'll see how he tests.

[Thorpacolypse]

And now we move on to...

Hey!

What, Wade?

I want to introduce myself!

No.

Why?

Because you're crazy first off and second off, I...

*click*

Was that you clicking the safety off your gun?

Nope. That was Randal clicking his camera to remind you of the pictures that he just sold me...

Anyway, like I was saying, Wade, go right ahead!

Thanks, Thorpaco...Thorpacky...Thorprostate...whatever, anyway, you asked for it ladies! Finally, this store is legitimate because it now stocked with a big supply of good old American beefcake! Your one and only Merc with Mouth hits the shelves in glorious color and with all the sex appeal you've come to know and love!

Comments: Deadpool’s trusty tech guy, Weasel. He's actually a geek named Jack Hammer who also went to school with Jessica Jones and Peter Parker (what a school) who became Deadpool's tech guy and for a short time, as pictured above, he joined HYDRA after Wade left him there on accident after rescuing Agent X (and at the same time acquiring Bob) and became the PENETRAITOR by inventing a teleportation device that would allow HYDRA agents to PENETRATE their enemy's defenses. Of course, it was a ruse to help Wade all along, but still, the whole thing does make one giggle.

DRAWBACKS:

Abilities 10 + Skills 7 (28 ranks) + Feats 19 + Powers 2 + Combat 12 + Saves 10 – Drawbacks 0 = 60 / 60

Comments: I LOVE Bob, Agent of HYDRA. Kidnapped (or liberated) from his HYDRA base by Deadpool during his rescue of Agent X, Bob has since been Deadpool's additional comic relief on and off ever since. Mainly, Bob is meant to run away since Wade says he is the best at running away he has ever seen, so I gave him a superhuman ability to run away, with Speed, Improved Defense x2, high Notice and Stealth skills and 2 types of Uncanny Dodge so he can always be ready to run away. And even though he's clumsy, I gave him ranks in Acrobatics so that he can use them per the chase rules to also aid him in running away.

One thing to note, as a complication, Bob has to shout the HYDRA lines at inappropriate times, like so...

Finally got around to adding Weasel and Bob to Deadpool's build. Now he's really ready to roll.

Comments: Always been an Iceman fan. He just has always had a cool look and cool powers, no pun intended. Well, I guess not ALWAYS has he looked cool. He had that lumpy snowman thing going on at first, thank goodness Marvel fixed that.

As a build, I went pretty much all out him, taking into my fandom of him in addition to his Omega Level status. With some HP, he do pretty much anything and even without, he's a serious customer. With a +15 blast and the ability to whip up large ice objects, paralyze people and make it nearly impossible for people to get around, he's wicked.

Clean Up 5/29/10: Iceman goes down a PL with my thread-wide power down (for now). I'm keeping the PL11 in case I flip-flop again before 3E...

Comments: I have to admit, I find myself getting more and more old school comic as I get…well, old. But I like the change from Hawkeye to Ronin for Clint. I like Kate Bishop as the new Hawkeye and I LOVE the short term Bullseye and Hawkeye thing, and they’ve done a good job of writing Clint since his return so it’s working for me. And his vendetta against Osborn for ruining the Avengers name to him is classic. But as we all know, Clint is the best archer in the Marvel U and at some point he’ll be back doing that again.

For now, he has shown some serious melee skill and I geared this build that way. I still kept his archery skills, too, but didn't make the bow part of his arsenal. But burn an HP and lo and behold, Hawkeye is sniping again.

Comments: Didn’t know much about Mockingbird until recently since she appeared during my comic hiatus. Now that she’s back, I’ve taken a liking to her. She and Clint make a good couple. Bobbi is a melee star with her Battle Staves and as a long time SHIELD operative, she’s a good skill monkey, too.

[catsi563]

The Hawkeye Mockingbird miniseries where they met got engaged and married all in one 4 issue series was awesome. Mocks always been one fo my personal favorites and along with Hawk they make a great couple.

Comments: I wanted to continue my X-Verse run and I also needed someone to knock the crap out of the heavy hitters I've built (and plan on building) and who better to do that than the Juggernaut, BITCH! And he ain't going down unless you really bring the noise against him. With an 18 Impervious, even Superman and Thor have to go all out to lay a scratch on him. He's more than a match for an X-Team and a serious threat to the aforementioned paragons.

While I did like his repentant run in the X-Verse for a while, I like him better as a take no prisoners powerhouse baddie and that's what it is in my setting.

Comments: All hail Doom!

Doom is one of my all time favorite villains, right there with the Red Skull, Magneto and the Joker. I love him because more than anything, what drives him is the fact the he believes that things can be only right when he rules the world. It's that twisted nobility the makes him so intriguing. Even though he'll kill you at the drop of a hat, he'll keep his word (most of the time) and treats his people well. Plus, I've never been a big Reed Richards fan, so Doom's hatred of him I get.

And I know what some of you are thinking…his stats only make him a PL12 at best, why do you have him at PL14? Well, I’m glad you asked. Viktor can hit his caps with an Invention or Ritual. I wanted him to be his usual PL12-ish pain the butt to the FF, but if he decides to take on the Avengers or someone like that, he’ll need a little extra umph to give him a shot. So if he really needs to he, can create that big time death ray or conjur up a PL14 demon or something to wreak havoc on some more powerful heroes.

And on my Earth-217, he will be leading a cabal of villains called (what else?) THE LEGION OF DOOM!

Hercules, Juggernaut... I was also thinking of working on Red Hulk soon, which you just recently did. Looks like our minds have been functioning on similar wavelengths lately. I guess what they say is true - great minds really do think a like.
