Complications:Weakness (The Hunger of Ego)- Much like Galactus, Ego must consume large sources of energy to sustain his massive existence. He has devoured starships, alien races, and entire worlds.
Enemy (Galactus)- Ego and Galactus have feuded in the past- Galactus sought to consume Ego for his own sustenance, and once placed a star-drive engine on Ego to force him to constantly fly through the cosmos (so that he would not threaten other beings).
Involuntary Transformation (Brain)- Though massively strong, Ego's "skin" is really only as durable as hard earth up-close- beings on his surface can blast through and find access to Ego's brain, which is a mere Toughness 20 and much more vulnerable to attack.
Responsibility (Going Insane)- At various times, Ego has gone insane due to cosmic stuff, The Supreme Intelligence, mechanical parts in his brain, stuff like that.
Relationship (Alter-Ego)- Ego was created, alongside his brother Alter-Ego, by The Stranger, who arranged Alter-Ego's kidnapping by The Collector, then a battle between the two Living Planets- all of this in order to determine if imprisonment can increase someone's fighting potential.
Responsibility (Egotistical & Violent)- As his name suggests, Ego has a massive superiority complex. If thwarted, he can be provoked into a tremendous emotional outburst.
Total: Abilities: 42 / Skills: 42--21 / Advantages: 30 / Powers: 556 / Defenses: 42 (694)
-You know what's freaking great about comics? Ego. A living freaking PLANET. Sure, there have been others in sci-fi stories or whatever (Jack Kirby admits this), but how many of them also have GOATEES? So this giant, goateed, planet-eating menace travels throughout the cosmos, messing up heroes, being the base for the entire Nova Corps., turning pro- and antagonist at seeming random, and exists as one of those weird iconic things in the comics. Ego debuted fighting Thor, and then fought Galactus, went insane (thus eating a race that got an initial "happy ending" by being allowed to settle on his surface- The Wanderers, the first race orphaned from their world by Galactus), went sane, then went insane again, had a rocket attached to his butt that sent him hurtling through the universe, etc. He's one of those guys that will just end up being used no matter what, ignoring the old "status quo" set for him.
-Ego is really high-powered, but not invincible. He's also one of those guys that tests a game system like no others. Gazman went with an "Insubstantial Intelligence that controls his homeworld", but I went with the standard "crap-tons of ranks of Growth making a super-tough guy" set-up. And it's pretty funny how the dude needs SO MANY ranks of Growth (he's apparently 4 times the size of Pluto, and his diameter was given as 4165 miles). He also has a ton of other "planetary" features, creating Environments on a massive scale, tripping guys up, setting off Earthquakes, heating his insides, etc.
-There's a weird thing with a guy this big- at this scale, people can just land on him and walk around. Attacking him at that range is essentially an automatic hit (it's why he has Dodge & Parry only with Ranged Damage), and you can much more easily burrow into him and attack his brain that you could just blast away and hope to damage a Toughness THIRTY guy. Overall, he's powerful enough to challenge Galactus or an Elder God and possibly win- PL 19 can take out most guys in the COSMIC scale, not to mention the Heroic one.
-Some other things: Ego has an Atmosphere of sorts, which costs a ludicrous amount for something that effectively hurts him (allowing people to breathe while on him), but hey- I wasn't concerned about cost and I thought it would be funny to add it. He creates tentacle limbs, Antibody Minions, and alter his form (this can effectively make his titanic 4165-mile-wide frame look more mountainous, fluid, cross-hatched, or goateed- whatever your heart desires). He can also see all around him (it's how he "sees" people walking on the side without the face, which is really just something he can form on the surface anyways), and really far across space. Also, good luck overcoming his Fortitude Save (note: he is still alive and organic, hence he still has Fortitude). He's also got a noticeably low Will Save for a Cosmic Being, but still higher than most Heroes.
