Coming to the last couple members of the Brotherhood, we have Phobia.

I’ve noticed that most of the original members (Houngan, Warp & Phobia) all tend to be better suited to fight from a distance than up close. That explains why the Titans tended to beat the dog snot outta them so quickly, since most of the Titans tend to be more suited towards melee combat.

Phobia’s fear powers are well suited to dealing with foes, since her illusions can fool all of their senses. If they fail against her save, they become totally immersed in it seeing whatever it is that they fear. Phobia seems to get some kind of enjoyment from inflicting fear upon people, normally laughing it up as they scream in terror.

Phobia’s illusions can also kill, with all injuries the victim suffers in the illusions feeling real to the victim and what ever their mind thinks is real it causes the body to react. In a fight Phobia will tend to pick a single target and will keep them occupied with dealing with whatever fears they hold.

Bringing to a close on the Brotherhood of Evil we have the long-time only melee fighter they had until recently, Plasmus.

This guy is all kinds of trouble in a fight with his corrosion, he can melt down pretty much anything he can lay his protoplasmic hands on. Plus with his body being made of protoplasm he is hard to hurt since physical attacks will go through him or worse, get stuck inside him and then get attacked even more by his corrosion Only very physically tough foes have a chance of fighting him in melee for a long time and coming out without some kind of injury.

Plus Plasmus’ attitude is pretty much that of a victim lashing out at the world because of his pain. While he knows that the world isn’t a horrible place, he does know that there are bad people who do horrible things. He initially joined the Brotherhood mainly to get revenge on General Zahl, the man who experimented on Plasmus and turned him into what he is today and once he had gotten he stayed with the Brotherhood more out of a lack of somewhere else to go than loyalty.

Killer Frost is a villain that's been around for a quite a few years and to be honest I've only read two of her appearances, the one in the early Superboy series and when she fought Green Arrow. Even though Frost tends to be used as muscle in a group of villains she does make a good stand alone villain when you look at what she can do. Her absorption allows her to draw all of the heat from anyone or anything, thus making it super-cold and in the case of objects very brittle. Then throw in her thermal powers that allow her to make like Mrs. Iceman and she can attack at range as well as throw up all kinds of roadblocks for a hero to overcome.

That doesn't really include her technical background as a scientist so with a small reach of imagination she could possibily come up with some type of device if she really needed it. It looks to me like here recently DC has started to toss Frost into some of the more powerful circles of villains like the newest version of the Injustice League. So in future builds some possible add-ons would be feats like Set-Up and Teamwork as alot of her powers make her good for that with being able to encase foes in blocks of ice or inside ice creations.

One of the better sneaks in DC, Shadow Thief. Like alot of the villains in DC Shadow Thief has been given something of a push, making him kinda popular again. Plus with a reworking of his foe Hawkman you know that Shadow Thief gets reworked as well to make him challenging to the winged wonder.

Now sporting a assassin turned industrial spy background, Shadow Thief is loads more deadly in a fight than he use to be, just look at all the combat based feats he's got! His B&E skills are still pretty good, so while he's not the best in the world he still knows his job well and can make the best of a given situation. That's Shadow Thief's real talent, being able to work on the fly and come up with ways of dealing with new problems when they arise.

I've been told that his sword becomes as thin as he does so I decided to modifiy the Strike on his 2-D form so that it works with the sword as well as his punches giving him a pretty damaging attack overall plus it's penetrating. Shadow Thief is a skill and feat kinda character overall, though his Dimensiometer is still what makes him able to challenge the likes of Hawkman.

The evil answer to Green Arrow, Merlyn the mercenary archer.

Merlyn’s fought pretty much only G.A., though there have been a couple of tussles with Batman and lesser members of the League but mainly Merlyn goes after Ollie since their M.O. is so similar. To Merlyn only one of them can be the best and he’s out to prove it’s him, plus he'll normally try to set the situation up to where it favors him.

Merlyn is an assassin who takes out whoever he’s paid to take out, and he’ll do it with a little bit of flare. Just for that personal touch and to show how good of an archer he really is.

To me the main differences between Merlyn & Green Arrow are that Ollie’s got some serious money again, the members of “Team Arrow”, and his intensified hand to hand skills that he’s developed since OYL. Other than those few things Merlyn is an exact copy of Ollie, just with less morals.

So I thought I’d start with the new Persuader, and she’s seems to be the bloodthirsty one of the Terror Titans (I mean really? Cutting the shrinking guy in half?). I couldn’t find too much info on her aside from some nice pics & a line or two about her using the Atomic Axe that the Legion’s foe the Persuader uses.

So as a result this version of Persuader comes in under pointed by a good bit. So when I find out something new about her I’ll add here, but till then she’s basically a melee fighter that does some serious damage.

Here we have another member of the new generation of criminals in DC, Dreadbolt.

From what I’ve read so far Dreadbolt is the son of mercenary criminal Bolt and he is more than willing to follow in Dad’s footsteps. The big difference is that Dreadbolt is able to work within a team better than his Dad and is even the field leader of the Terror Titians.

Dreadbolt has modified the looks of Bolt’s suit to his tastes and that’s about it, otherwise it’s the same old song and dance power-wise. Though he seems better at using it that Bolt is, though that could be simply from his growing up watching Bolt rework it and rebuild it. Basically Dreadbolt is a flying blaster with some interaction skills and feats as well as some team working feats on top of it all. A nice and simple build honestly, again due to the newness of the character and lack of in-depth information I’m somewhat slightly under points used for this build.

I’ve always liked Guardian, besides the fact he’s more of a street version of Captain America. His background as a Golden Age hero brought into the modern age was unique and his attitude was always enjoyable since the writers would often make use of the “man out of his time” angle with him.

After seeing that bit of Guardian in Thorp’s Science Police pic I got the urge to stat him up, couldn’t help myself. It’s a pretty straight forward build without too much fluff really, aside from his being only a few points over the limit. That mostly comes from his being shown as very reliable & highly skilled hero that is often used as a background character with some appearances where he takes center stage.

I did this build more in mind with Guardian's time in the 90s Superboy comics, so he's probably more in tune with Cap at this point. Hopefully with his promotion into the Science Police now he’ll get some more in-depth writing and I can have an excuse to bump him up to a PL 11 and put some more differences in besides his clone status and the regeneration.

An oldie but a goodie, Harbinger made her debut in the original Crisis and then like most characters introduced in a huge company-wide event she faded away into comic book limbo. Fairly powerful overall Harbinger was able to use Cosmic Energy for blasting, was superhumanly strong & tough as well as being able to create an infinite amount of duplicates. Though she wouldn’t make more than 20 duplicates since any further dupes would be to physically weak to be effectively useful, so I didn’t stat her Duplication power past that as she wouldn’t push it unless it was a dire situation. Though I made her a PL 12 I didn’t think she rates a full point stating since when the chips were down Harbinger would get taken down, so she’s just about 10 points under the limit.

From there Harbinger went on to become the historian for the Amazons and met her end when Darkseid sent in his cloned Doomsday forces to Themyscira. Kind of a shame really she would have been great member of a team with her wide variety of powers. Basically the Monitor gave Harbinger her powers to make her more useful to him in gathering together heroes to help him fight the Anti-Monitor and she was his main helper, so I gave her a bit of decent knowledge skills to show her depth of knowledge on how things in the world. Combined with her having to be able to convince people to work with her and keep all that information straight in her mind I tossed in a couple feats that would help like Fascinate & Eidetic Memory.

Another of what I like to call my back in the day builds, Damage has been around since the Zero Hour crossover in the 90s. Boy has he been slightly screwed slowly over the years! Randomly developing his powers Damage basically went on the run from the start of his career it seems. From there he bounced around on a couple of Titans teams and even managed to try out for the JLA along with Hitman (not that he made the cut of course). Along the way his powers weren’t really that well defined and he was an unusual brick/blaster kind of mix from what I read. This was more from his showings in other titles & crossovers, though it was finally said that he had pretty much the possibility of most of the powers of the JSA depending on how much energy he absorbed and channeled.

From there Damage joined the latest Freedom Fighters and got probably one of the most serious screw overs by getting his hind end kicked severely by Zoom of all people. From there Damage ended up joining the JSA though I haven’t read much of it yet, but it’s on my pull list at the local comic book store so I’ll probably work up a modern version of him after I get a better feel for him. For now I thought a build based on his earlier years would be a fun little distraction for me to do.

Well after taking a couple days off from building I figured I’d come back & do one of the main character of the famous Marvel/DC Amalgam, Access. All boiled down to his basics Access is a teleporting guy who can also travel dimensions, with the added ability to sense when members of either universe appears in the other. It’s his job to send them back where they belong to keep universal harmony and prevent both worlds form destroying each other.

This has led to Access teaming up with the all the big guns of both Marvel & DC (the JLA, X-Men, Avengers, Teen Titans) to stop various plots to remerge the two universes by Dr. Strangefate, Darkseid and even an evil version of himself. That’s a whole bunch of responsibility for a pretty much everyday guy to handle but Access has seemed to handle it pretty well.

Access isn’t a combat expert by any means, normally when a fight starts Access is ducking for cover. That’s normally why he’ll bring along a few friends of whatever universe he’s in to help out (when you can bring Hal Jordan, Black Canary & Batman with you to a fight you can let them handle the fight ) while he looks to find & deal with the cause of the whole fight.

Access is more about being able to deal with people through his interaction skills and he’s pretty good with ‘em as well. His blatant honestly combined with his ability to interact well with others makes him one of the better negotiators of both Marvel & DC. Access has been able to gain the trust of the likes of Batman with only a few sentences which speaks volumes about his ability.

The Canary is obviously a mixture of Black Canary & Mockingbird. She seemed interesting to me simply because she was the only female shown in the first appearance of the JLA (Judgement League Avengers). I would have honestly liked to see that team get their own 1 shot book but it wasn’t meant to be apparently, but it still would’ve been cool to see. Canary seemed to favor Mockingbird just a bit since she was willing to play back up to Hawkey and Goliath in their fights, cause Black Canary is more likely to go & handle her own business and lend a hand when she can during a fight.

Not too much info was given on Canary since it wasn’t a JLA book so I decided to take some liberties with the build and add a few things into it in the spirit of Amalgam. Like even though Canary wasn’t shown using the Canary Cry or Battle Staves in the fight with the JLX but I thought it was a really cool idea to use them since that would give her some a real wide range of choices in a fight.

Oh yeah, almost forgot but I wanna give thanks to Thorpacolypse & Jabroniville since I based this build off of their fine 2E builds of Black Canary & Mockingbird.

Well with Angelhawk do I really have to point out who got merged together to make him? I like how this build came out really, it tones down some of the brutishness of Hawkman while adding in some of the aerial skill of Angel. He keeps the focus on using weapons to fight but it’s limited to the mace mainly but it works.

In the Amalgam setting Angelhawk was a meta-mutant who had managed to keep that a secret letting the public think that his wings were a technological creation he used. During the JLA’s fight with the JLX Angelhawk was in telepathic contact with Mr. X to help them get away so that Mr. X wouldn’t reveal his secret, though the mentally added pain he was given didn’t help Angelhawk get along any better with Mr. X it did help his act of being hurt more believable and caused the JLA to withdraw so that they could get him medical attention.

While he still comes out about some-teen points under the PL/point balance I like how it works out. Angelhawk is at his best when fighting from the air, not that he can’t handle himself when grounded but he’s better when flying overhead his foes.

Again I wanna say thanks to Thorpacolypse since I based this build off of his 2E builds of Angel & Hawkman.

The Kree warrior who got stuck in the Phantom-Negative Zone and was bonded to young Billy Jones as an agent of Justice, we have Captain Marvel. In the Amalgam Universe he’s a plain & simple Paragon. From what was shown he’s got a militant attitude and issues with Skrulls, since he clearly doesn’t like them or even meta-mutants for that matter.

Captain Marvel is all about the hand-to-hand fighting, he got nothing for a type of ranged attack. The closest he could come up with probably was to either grab some random item and throw it (which wouldn’t probably hit due to his way low ranged attack) or use his own body as a ram and charge in, which is probably what he would do with his Toughness being what it is.

Again many thanks to Thorpacolypse as I used his 2E Captain Marvel (DC version) to mash with my Captain Mar-vell to get this build done.

Oliver Queen was a scientist that worked with Project: Cadmus’ Macro-Atomic Specialist Dr. Hank Pym and he developed the growth serum he used to become Goliath. He was one of the founding members of the JLA assembled by Dr. Strangefate to deal with an secret threat, though it has speculated that it was the Skulk on a rampage. After that they remained together and found the body of Super-Soldier frozen in ice and were able to thaw him out safely.

During the main fight between the JLA & the JLX Goliath fought against Runaway and was quickly taken out by her draining attack. I’m assuming that he was taken with the rest of the JLA when they withdrew from the fight, if not he’s gonna be in for a long swim home.
