J-Mart II: Closed for 3E - Thanks for the Patronage!

There's one with her and Wonder Woman in a...compromising position that even made my depraved mind go "YIKES!".

Noo! You can't post something like that and leave us hanging!

Anyway, that's a great soldier build - especially to use as a basis for a low-PL soldier campaign. Would you say (any) special forces would cross into PL6 or simply arrange the points differently?

I'll PM you the link.

As far as the Special Forces go, I think it depends on what kind of special forces. Snipers would warrant the PL increase if only for the ranged attack bonus, wetworks teams may only require some point shifting and few more stealth feats, Navy SEALS may warrant a higher level as well. It also depends on their role in the campaign.

Was that vague enough, or should I perhaps add the word "could" a few more times?

[Thorpacolypse]

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)

Exactamundo, Arkite. Couldn't have said it better myself. I try to stay away from too many feats for archetype builds, and I could certainly see others, but those seemed to be the most fitting.

Comments: I’ve gone through my Red Hulk build 3-4 times now and every time he comes out cheaper. I guess my Stat Fu continues to increase, thank goodness. I may be up to a yellow belt now!

Anyway, Rulk is Rulk. He’s really a slightly less powerful version of the Green Scar Hulk; tactically smart, pretty much at the fully boosted levels of the Savage Hulk all the time and not afraid to use lethal damage whenever he deems it necessary. Unlike the Banner Hulk, this Hulk gets “hotter” the madder he gets, increasing his Gamma Radiation Aura as he gets madder. Big flaw to that is once he gets really mad, the aura wears him out, allowing an opponent to have a good shot at taking him down. Other than that, if he keeps his emotions in check, you can be in a for a long day.

From a Thorpacoverse standpoint, Rulk is working for the government in a currently classified role. Much like the direction Loeb is taking his character now, he’s more of an anti-hero than a pure villain, still believing in his country and doing what he thinks is best and less concerned with revenge on Banner, although he’ll still take a shot at him if he can.

Clean Up 6/4/10: Well, now that we know who Rulk is, and the fact that I wanted to take him down a PL, I figured it was time for a remodel. I had also forgotten has energy draining abilities, so I put in a mechanic, but I'm not real happy with it. Guess I'll fix him again when 3E comes out...

Comments: My new take on The Red Skull. Originally, I was dead set that I was not going to build him in the Steve Rogers clone body mode and I didn’t, but...I did waffle a bit. I’ll explain in a minute.

Johann Schmidt, here is the Red Skull, just in case you've been under a rock for the past 40 years or so. He is a great mastermind villain and for my money, right at the top. He can plan, invent, frighten, inspire, lie…he can do it all. But the main reason he's in the small percentage of greatest villains is the fact that he is based in the root of all modern evil (Nazism and in fact, he was even a friend of Hitler's) and with his visage, he is physcially frightening, enough that when I was a kid, I didn't like getting Cap books he was in because it actually scared me.

As a build, Dust of Death is a simple but effective way of taking out a number of foes in a 50 ft range all at once. For the rest, like I said, this is not the Steve Rogers clone body version. On Earth-217, Baron Von Blitzschag, formerly a Nazi supervillain, but currently in the Initiative, secretly smuggled a body of one of his MVP clones to Arnim Zola who helped transfer Schmidt’s consciousness into the young, peak human body of Michael Van Patrick. Now, with a young powerful body, Schmidt is even more dangerous and ready to lead his new cabal, THE RED REICH against any and all who oppose him. And, I didn't break my word to myself. Mostly.

As I stated in his quote, Schmidt is working on a plan to create a massive army to help him start and win World War III. With the resources I plan on giving him, he might just be able to pull it off.

Don't the last couple of issues of Hulk indicate that Rulky here has some sort of energy-related Transfer power?

Comments: The Red Skull’s longtime right hand henchman, Crossbones. He is another one of those guys that is mega-badass in one comic, hanging with Cap and having Cap get out of it by the skin of his teeth, and in another, he’s getting pwned by Diamondback or someone like that. So he comes out as a balanced PL10, close to peak strength and con, lots of skills but nothing too outlandish and come good combat feats and serious arsenal so he should come out about the way he has been portrayed.

Of course, on Earth-217, he’s still rolling with Da Skull.

Comments: You know, I started this build almost a year and half ago, and lost it somewhere. While cleaning up some old folders on my laptop, I found it and decided to finish it up. Parasite is well known for being one of Superman’s main foes because he has the ability to mimic and drain all of an opponent’s abilities, and Superman is his favorite snack.

I am iffy on his power structure, which I started out with a Requires Grapple flaw, then changed it because he could never win a grapple against Superman without some sort of super strength, which he shouldn’t have. So it’s plain old touch range Transfer, and borrowed heavily from Taliesin’s power structure for it. I didn’t realize he could change his looks, too, but after some Wiki research, I added it in, too.

Comments: My latest reworking of Ollie almost had him come out a balanced PL10, amazingly enough. But I decided to add in a couple more feats for flavor so he comes in very slightly overpointed. Since I consider an “average” hero PL9, Ollie at PL10 is perfect since he’s still street level, but definitely more than an “average” hero. I will probably put Roy and Conner at PL9 when I rework them.

This Ollie is a nightmare for the street level villains, with an Auto-Fire arrow blast and tons of other ways to affect saves. He can mix up his caps and with his sky high attack bonus, if you give him a chance to aim, he ain't missin'. On Earth-217, he's still protecting Star City and serving with the Justice League, along with his wife, Black Canary.

Clean Up 4/20/10: So I finally got Silver Age and with that comes that wicked cool Gimmick Arrows setup. I took it down a rank from 8 to 7 to allow Ollie to be a bit more accurate, but we’ll have to see how it plays.

Comments: Black Canary has never been a big fave of mine, but she’s grown on me over the years. A top notch martial artist with that fall back power of the Canary Cry is not anyone to be taken lightly, though, especially in the street level adventures she’s usually involved in.

I made her a wicked martial artist, with tons of feats and a high crit range and her Canary Cry is pretty standard for most builds of her on the tank. I also gave him some good leadership skills, as she has been a great level for the Birds of Prey and did a good job in the Justice League, although I would have like McDuffie to give her more time in the role. As such, she is a co-chair of my Justice League, working right with Cyclops.

I guess my Stat Fu continues to increase, thank goodness. I may be up to a yellow belt now!

Please don't sell yourself short, sensei. Your Stat Fu is strong! Yellow is too weak a color for the likes of you. Give yourself a higher-ranking belt, pronto!

BTW, nice Rulk!

Don't the last couple of issues of Hulk indicate that Rulky here has some sort of energy-related Transfer power?

Huh...I must have missed that, although I am a month behind on my pulls (damn Christmas shopping). I'll have to check that out next weekend when I get paid.
