BARON's 3ed thread!: Superman INTO THE LIGHT (part 3)

[BARON]

Thanos, by the way, is pretty much finished. I'm on break at work messing around online. Right in the middle of the Sabertooth/Wolverine test (which is going well) and I've begun working on a certain famous foursome.

[Horsenhero]

The Beatles?

[BARON]

I'd sooner stat KISS

[Libra]

Well you're already statting up a man with outrageously flexible appendages - Gene Simmons' tongue shouldn't require all that much extra work to figure out after that.

ORIGIN STORY

design notes...

First thing is first in case you're wondering, his grab checks are pretty severe +2 (elongation) +6 (move object) +4 (extra limbs) = +12 which is good enough to really squash Spidey hard. The crushing power of his arms is rank 10 too. Yikes. Otherwise what I did was put him together as a combination of the scientist and crime lord with a couple details here and there to bring out the supervillain in him.

ORIGIN STORY

SIDEBAR: ULTRON'S ROBOTS

Ultron can, and often does, send waves of robots after the heroes during battle. Use stats for the robot in the DCA hero's handbook on page 165. Add +3 strength, +6 fighting, Ranged Combat: blaster 8 (+7), Ranged Damage 9, Dodge +2. These should be considered PL8 minions worth 67 points each. Due to the rank of Ultron's summon ability, he should be able to customize his robots as the need arises.
