The long-time powerhouse/secondary blaster for the Outsiders, Geo-Force has been with pretty much all versions of the team. Coming from a small European nation he is a member of the royal family and was granted his powers to help defend his country.

He ended up joining Batman’s original team to better learn how to become a hero, this led to some serious clashes since Geo-Force was used to getting his own way most of the time. He struggled on the team until he learned that when on a team his own wants & needs were secondary to those of the team.

After Batman’s departure from the Outsiders Geo-Force took over as leader and even got his country to fund the team until the Dr. Jace betrayed them to the Manhunters. Geo-Force was also around for the 90s version of the Outsiders, leading one of the two teams and then he, Katana & the Eradicator shared a kind of trinity leadership set up until the end of the team. Recently he’s been working with the latest version of the JLA and has also joined the reformed Outsiders led by Batman once again.

Another long-time member of the Outsiders, Katana brings a fair amount of pure human skill to the team. She’s not Batman, but then again nobody is, Katana’s the one that can handle herself really well in melee and the Soultaker Katana allows her to damage those that would normally be resistant to damage due to it’s mystical enchantments.

Basically Katana is your typical Weapons Master type of hero but I see her as more of a PL 9 that’s slightly over-pointed due to her adventuring. It was pretty easy to build her and I had to spend a few minutes looking over the DC wiki to make sure I got everything and played with a couple numbers to get her up where I wanted but it all plays well I think.

I didn’t include anything about the other powers of the Soultaker Katana since Katana herself feels that using them is wrong. But if you’re doing a story where the villain wants her sword I’d say it’s ability to bring forth & control the souls of the people it’s been used to kill would be along the lines of Summon Minion with the souls being 75 pt minions bringing out about 5 minions at a time.

Another of the original members of the Outsiders brings us to Halo. Without a doubt she has a unique history, even considering some of her teammates. She is the merging of a being of pure energy and a human, the result is a unique personality that shares parts of both in mentality & abilities. Of course all the powers come from the alien part while the majority of the skills & feats are from the human part. Though some of the feats have been devloped by the fused personality

Halo took the name Gabrielle "Gabby" Doe as a suggestion from Batman and has never looked back since. She's been the heart of the team IMO, often acting as the cheerleader for her friends when they're having tough times. Amongst the rest of the team Halo is closest with Katana as the two of them have a Mother/Daughter-like relationship. During the 90s run this relationship was stressed as Halo got the hots for bad-boy Faust, but in the end once he showed Katana he was willing to sacrifice himself to keep Halo safe their realtionship went back to normal.

In combat Halo is your typical glass cannon, though she does have a couple other choices aside from simply shooting at a foe. Her paralyze power or dazzle are great to help set up friends by distracting the bad guys, but she needs to keep herself at range. If she gets into hand to hand she is gonna get hurt pretty quick as her Toughness is based more on her being able to get outta the way of damaging attacks.

Continuing through my Outsider builds comes one of the most used heroes IMO. Rex Mason, otherwise known as Metamorpho the Element Man.

I like Rex honestly, his catankerous personality really suits him. He's had a rough life as a hero (dying a couple times, the issues with his kid, a couple of dead lovers, boy that's kinda alot for a guy to deal with....)& not everyone is gonna be able to handle it & be all smiles when it's the end of the day, so to me Rex interjects a bit of realism. Rex's powers allow him to do alot, but it all works into a PL 11 pretty well, though there are a couple other skills I wanted to give him but they were mostly from his time before he got his powers.

Boy did Looker come waayyyy more expensive than I originally thought she would. Honestly though she's only a PL 8 in cost before you add in the frickin' vampire template, that's what shoots her cost up around the 200 mark.

What's really the kick in the shorts too me is that she hadn't ever shown if she had all the classic powers or not. The ones I listed above are the ones she used often or she talked about alot, what didn't help was that Looker isn't your normal vampire either. Something about her Metagene interfered with the full transformation process, so Looker ended up becoming a Daywalker only suffering from the vampire thirst.

On top of all those powers Looker was a pretty decent psionic type to begin with. During the series run she was consistently at the front of most of the team's fights, relying on her undead status to save her from most injuries. Toss in her mental blast & t.k. abilities on top of that and she can hold her own in most fights.

The Eradicator made for an interesting addition to the Outsiders, he brought in a crap-load of power to the team that they've never really had (I mean jeez! this guy stood in for Superman for awhile), the only problem really was how he would sometimes fly off the handle and destroy pretty much everything around him while enraged.

That didn't do much to help the team's image, let alone the fact that basically the Eradicator was the leader of his splintered version of the team with Looker, Wylde, Faust & Halo. So yeah they fit right in with the feel of the Iron Age, a vampire trying to do good, a man-beast with them because he has nowhere else to go, a mage with questionable morals & well, Halo wasn't so much Iron Age but she was stuck with 'em all.

Faust was an unusual member in the Outsiders, he didn’t really want to be a member after their first adventure. He liked hanging out with them mostly, and he felt bad about turning Wylde into the Bear-Man thing he was and was trying to figure out how to change him back, but over all Faust was all about using his magical abilities to scam and con people so he could live the easy life. This was the guy that the team tracked down to a Casino in Vegas using his magic to cheat at Blackjack.

Basically he was blackmailed into staying on the team, not that he was much use in a fight, he would stay in the background as much as possible to keep himself from getting hurt since he didn’t wear any kind of protection or use his magic for force fields and such. He was mostly used for transporting the team around and locating things, in a fight he could handle himself enough to not get hit as long as he didn’t screw up his rolls basically but he knew it and tried to stay out of those kind of situations if he could.

Otherwise Faust served as the face-man for the team, able to bluff like no one else (course when the rest of your team is a vampire, a bear-man, the Eradicator & a alien from another dimension who doesn’t understand Earth culture anyone off the street could be the face man, but Faust was actually pretty good at it), which helped from time to time when the team needed things smoothed over and were trying to be nice about it.

After his time on the team Faust has pretty much fell off the face of the Earth, he showed up once or twice among gathered mages for various mystical crisis but that’s pretty much it.

Another of the new members in the 90s, Wylde filled the man-beast requirement for the Outsiders. He started off as the bodyguard for Technocrat I believe and ended up lost in the woods of Markovia with him when they ran into Faust who was dealing with a bear. Faust had been attempting to use his magic when Wylde intervined and as a result he & the bear were merged together.

That led him to joining the team since he couldn’t really go anywhere else, waiting on Faust to figure out a way to turn him back to human. Along the way Wylde became attracted to Looker and when he finally told her how he felt she rejected him as nicely as possible, but it still broke Wylde’s heart. So much so that he betrayed the team to Felix Faust for the promise of having Looker for himself once Felix took over the world. In the end once the team defeated Felix Wylde ended up turned fully into bear and left at a public zoo with a mentality of a common animal. I’ve seen worse endings for Iron Age heroes….

The last of the new members from the 90s, Technocrat is just basically your average Battlesuit guy on the team. Kinda like a Tony Stark super-lite really, he owned his own business that developed weapons and sold them across the globe. Technocrat ended up having to wear his latest creation to protect himself in Markovia and from there he had to join the Outsiders to clear his name. Along the way his wife was killed and Halo’s alien part took over his body which led to some tense moments between him & Katana that never were really dealt with.

As for fighting, Technocrat needs to stay in the air and away from foes since his suit mainly is built to be able to fire various types of projectiles and keep him from getting hurt. His suit will keep most things from hitting him but when he really needs to stay safe he has to activate the low-end force field to meet his full Toughness cap. Technocrat really needed to develop some team working skills to be really useful but other than that he basically just helped to fund the team and act as gadget guy for them.

Windfall seems to be the cheapest member of the Outsiders, course most of that comes from the fact that almost nothing about her was ever revealed aside from her powers. Windfall started off part of the Masters of Disaster, a team of element themed crooks who fought the Outsiders a couple of times. During those fights she would go against Halo I believe and eventually Halo's pleas got the better of Windfall's good nature and she left the Masters & joined the Outsiders.

Windfall is another one of those glass cannon types who needs to stay at a distance to be most effective, her air control gives her lots of choices in a fight and most of the time she tends to work with someone from the team to make the most of her powers and teamwork feats.

The newest member of the Outsiders, the Creeper in all his glory! I've always had a fondness for Creeper, I have no idea why but this guy always gets my interest. Now why a yellow-skinned guy jumping around in a fur stole on steroids, laughing like a madman that keeps my interest for some reason is an issue I should get checked out I think....

Anyways, Creeper is one of those low-level powered heroes that work so well at a street level which is what the Outsiders have always kinda struck me as. Well, not the strict street level heroes but they tend to deal with villains that threaten the world just a few pegs under the likes of Luthor & Ra's Al Ghul and do it fairly well.

Creeper makes a good addition to the team with his stealth skill being the highest of most members and then there's his ability to take a hit like nobody else. Then toss in his newest version of his Creeper Laugh and he's got a semi-ranged attack that can deal with mooks really quickly.

Well I’ve actually managed to get the vast majority of my to-do list done & after spending most of last night thinking it over I managed to add some characters that are sometimes considered to be almost non-teams in some ways. I even managed to get one of those new builds done as well and figured I should go ahead and post him up.

Atomic Knight is one of those guys who fills the basic requirements of a Battlesuit and that’s kinda it. Where he gets interesting is his precog flashes that he gets and lets him make use of future happenings, but honestly I like how his last suit looked design-wise plus his attitude was pretty much straightforward & simple. Stomp the bad guys and go home and relax. His military background helps a bit and his self-taught skill at building his armor from pieces of equipment he could find at S.T.A.R. Labs makes him something slightly different from some of the other armor wearing heroes. If his suit gets broken I have no idea how he gets his hands on replacement parts but I’m sure it would make for some interesting roleplaying in game.

In a fight Atomic Knight will fly around keeping foes busy with his energy blasts and if those don’t have much effect then he’ll get up close and use his energy sword to carve them into little pieces. Atomic Knight is realistic enough to know his own limits and will often work with other people on the team to take down the big villains but he’s more than willing to play moving target while the others come up with something of a plan since aside from Geo-Force and maybe Metamorpho he‘s one of the physically tougher members of the Outsiders.

Ahh, to be a semi-comsically powered being in Marvel.....Anyhoo, my take on Adam Warlock during his time as the "leader" of the Infinity Watch. When Adam wasn't busy following the odd-off plot hooks of the writers he would come bail the rest of the Watch outta whatever jam they had gotten themselves into. Honestly though, most of their problems stemmed from Warlock himself, either from other beings who wanted the power of Infinity Gems or someother odd item being held by Adam or his landlord, the Mole Man. That also was another of the team's problems, their living on Monster Island. For some reason that fact really didn't sit to well with the governments of the world. Don't get me started on the Infinity War & Crusade, my blood pressure can't take the strain....

Mainly how I see Adam at this point is around the same power level as when he defeated the Man-Beast in the 70's with the only difference being that Adam has learned how to be a better planner and manipulator. Basically becoming a super-powered Mastermind having developed a monster amount of skills and feats. They are what helped him the most as several of his foes tended to actually be vastly more powerful than Adam was. Then when he faced off against the heroes of Marvel it seemed almost a bother for him to use his powers against them since his misdirection skills kept him out of most combat

I've gotta admit that I really liked Taliesin's idea on how to treat Adam's healing cocoon. Making it an Alternate Form is perfect!! So I "borrowed" the idea (I think I've be hanging out at J-Mart too much maybe....).

Well I figured I should do a “Back in the Day” build for Drax, seeing as he’s so vastly different today than he was back when he was a member of the Infinity Watch.

Back then Drax suffered from a serious lack of intelligence & wisdom as he was brain damaged in that incarnation. It was a result of his daughter, Moondragon killing him with a mental blast years before Cronos brought Drax back to hunt down Thanos. Adam Warlock choose Drax to be the holder of the Power Gem, since Drax could keep it safe while not really tapping into the powers it could give aside from the occasional tapping of it’s boosting effect to increase his strength. Besides, Drax thought it was a jellybean and ate it. Since his body wasn’t built like a human’s Drax’s body wouldn’t expel it so it was safe in his belly.

Drax’s biggest problem was his lack of brain power, as a result he is highly easy to feint, bluff, or otherwise distract during a fight. I can’t even start to list all the ways he was fooled during a fight, but let me just say my personal favorite was when he was knocked into the ocean and saw dolphins swimming and wasn’t seen again for the rest of the issue. Another problem presented was that Drax’s idea of a strategy was fly up & beat on a foe. Most of the time he didn’t even use his energy blast unless someone told him to use it. Then he’d go “Oh, yeah.” and blast away.

Definitely not how the Drax of today operates now.

Oh yeah. I realize that I didn’t include anything about the Power Gem in his stats, but since Drax never really made any use of it aside from the odd use as a plot device. So no Power Gem stats for Drax!

Gamora is expensive!! Plus this is the old version of her, but it covers her well I think. She’s known as the Most Dangerous Woman in the Galaxies, and she was. She could hold her own against the likes of Thanos (and win!!), though she did admit that it some work on her part.

Pretty much a ultimate terror to mooks anwhere in the galaxy, Gamora can dish out some serious pain and suffering at will. Who am I kidding? She's a terror almost for most characters out there given her wide amount of combat skill and ability.

I’m not wild about her costs but given her limited ability to access the Time Gem (she only used the future vision and then it was unintentional at that) and her shown super strength and her martial strikes stacked with her monstrous selection of skills and feats she is seriously expensive. I felt like I couldn’t short change her build, I would be even more unhappy with it than I am with the cost of this one. So I guess I’ll have to live with it overall since that’s my only problem with it.
