Prodigy Duck 3e Builds (Mandrill, Man-Killer, Mantis)

[prodigyduck]

I actually really like fixer. Firestar's heat sphere is well

I had never read anything with the Fixer until he appeared as Techno in the first Thunderbolts comic. I came to like him quite a bit.

Even at PL 9, I think one of those witches could take out the average superhero team before they figure out how to harm herm.

[Arthur Eld]

I should point out that Insubstantial 4 requires you to have a reasonably common effect or descriptor that works on you while Incorporeal.

Cold... perhaps. Sometimes I forget to list the obvious things.

At first I was thinking that, although your Galactus was nicely done with good streamlined power, he was a little weak and someone like Superman could easily take him out. Then I went and checked the rest of your builds and realised that you have a lower overall PL for your setting/version of the characters.

So basically, nice build of Galactus

Thanks

In my opinion, DC and Marvel are on two completely different scales of power.

Besides, Galactus' Cosmic Power is a Variable. He can do whatever he wants: create super-powerful forcefields, penetrating energy blasts, afflictions that remove to powers from those around him, etc. Superman would actually be hard pressed around Galactus.
