Library of Heroes [2e]: Supergirl, Superman Updates

Narsil's Library of Heroes, 2nd Edition
Latest Build: Silver Age Supergirl
Total Builds: 21

So after spending a long time working with 3rd edition, I ultimately got rather tired of having to deal with the myriad limitations of the system which, while not necessarily making it a bad system, made it into a system that I personally didn't really feel suited my method of building or playing characters. While 2nd edition itself did really well in this area, so I've decided to join the small number of people working with and posting builds for the older Mutants & Masterminds system.

Feats: Artificer, Attractive, Connected, Contacts, Distract (Bluff), Dodge Focus 4, Extraordinary Effort, Fascinate (Perform), Skill Mastery (Escape Artist, Knowledge [Arcane Lore], Perform [Oratory], Perform [Stage Magic]), Trance, Teamwork, Ultimate Effort (magic-related effects)

Powers:
- Mistress of Sorcery 12 (variable power [any one effect]; Extra: Move Action [+1]; DB: Power Loss [if unable to speak, -2pp]; 70pp)
- Super-Senses 5 (Mystic Awareness; Detect Magic 4 [ranged; Acute, Analytical, Extended]; 5pp)

Combat: Attack +4, Grapple +4, Defence +12 (+4 flat-footed), Initiative +3

Complications:
Doing Good: Zatanna is motivated as a superhero by a sense of personal altruism.
Relationship: Zatanna is known for her occasional interactions with the British occultist John Constantine. She is also friends with several of the other members of the Justice League, particularly Batman.
Responsibility: As a sometimes-member of the Justice League and one of the premier magical experts on her world of Earth One.

Notes:
So introducing us to the weird and wonderful world of this thread is Zatanna Zatara. The classic and iconic sorceress of the DC Universe, I've presented her here with a variable power since it kind of represents her approach to magic fairly well. For the most part, she'll manifest fairly standard magical effects, ranging from typical energy blasts to stuff like transformation, snares, animated objects, and other such. Other effects that she would use on special occasions would include total-fade boosts to give her more lasting personal powers such as personal force fields or flight, but doing so tends to take quite a while for her, and can be a bit of a make-or-break in a given fight.

Notes
So resurrecting a tradition from my previous 3e thread, here's the Golden Age Superman of the 1930s; though not in full possession of his powers yet, he's almost certainly a force to be reckoned with, posessing pretty impressive levels of superhuman strength, incredible amounts of speed, and the ability to leap one-eighth of a mile without much difficulty. His major weaknesses such as kryptonite and magic had yet to be widely introduced, but there were planned stories even back that far which introduced them, and his rather iconic X-Ray Vision had been planned at around the same time.

EDIT: I've modified Superman's powers and saves somewhat, basically reducing his constitution and shifting some points onto the increased density power to represent the fact that at least part of his powers derive from his being from a high-gravity planet, as well as increasing him in power level to PL13. This changes for later interpretations which have him as being empowered by sunlight (Silver, Bronze, Iron and Modern Age Superman).

Zatara of Earth-Two (Giovanni 'John' Zatara)
PL 10 (145pp)
First Appearance: Action Comics #1 (1968)

Abilities: Strength 10 (+0), Dexterity 14 (+2), Constitution 14 (+2), Intelligence 16 (+3), Wisdom 16 (+3), Charisma 14 (+2)

Skills: Bluff 8 (+10), Concentration 8 (+11), Escape Artist 8 (+10), Handle Animal 4 (+6), Knowledge [Arcane Lore] 15 (+18), Languages 1 (Hsilgne; Base: English), Notice 8 (+11), Perform [Stage Magic] 6 (+8), Sleight of Hand 6 (+8)

Feats: Dodge Focus 4, Fascinate (Perform), Ritualist, Trance

Powers:
- Master of Sorcery 9 (variable [any one effect at a time]; Extra: Move Action [+1]; DB: Power Loss [if unable to speak, -2pp]; 52pp)
- Super-Senses 3 (Mystical Awareness; Detect Magic 2 [ranged]; 3pp)

Combat: Attack +4, Grapple +4, Defence +10 (+3 flat-footed), Initiative +2
- Attacks: Unarmed +0, Master of Sorcery +10 (variable)

Saves: Toughness +2, Fortitude 6 (+8), Reflex 7 (+9), Will 10 (+13)

Abilities 24 + Skills 16 (64 ranks) + Feats 7 + Powers 55 + Combat 20 + Saves 23 - Drawbacks 0 = 145

Notes:
So here we have Zatara. He's largely built like his daughter, with a one-at-a-time variable structure from which he can summon pretty much any effect you could mention. His is somewhat lower in power, given his lack of inherent magic compared to her, but is largely used the same way, and has the same overall limitations and strengths.

Notes
So to continue the Superman rebuilds, here we have the 1940s Golden Age version. This version went through a lot of changes that kind of solidified his concept for the rest of his tenure. During the war against the Nazis he acquired a new tagline, becoming the suppposed champion of a fight for truth, justice and the American way. Amongst other things he became faster and stronger, acquired the ability to actually fly rather than just leaping long distances, and expanded his already impressive sensory powers. He also gained a few other one-shot abilities such as the ability to communicate along radio-waves. One thing he didn't show yet until very late in this era was his now-ubiquitous heat vision, which was explained as him focusing his x-ray vision to the point that it generated heat. Which was first seen as a power in 1949.

As such, I'll leave the X-Ray Vision to one side as a power-stunt. Certain versions of the character on the Atomic Think Tank have used heat vision as a power feat of super-strength that allows you to use a ranged damage effect at a level equal to your strength rank. Until the heat vision becomes a fully-established power (the 1950s), I'm leaving it to the areas of super-strength power stunts.

One of the most notable facts about Superman in the forties was his first expansios sinto other media. He had a rather notable couple of film serials starring Kirk Alyn (who would later cameo as Lois Lane's dad in the Richard Donner Superman film), and more memorably a series of extremely well-animated cartoon shorts and a long-running radio serial. With Bud Collyer providing the vocals for both. The radio series is also rather notable for spreading Superman's crusade for truth and justice into the public domain when the producers had him battle a group of villains known as the Clan of the Fiery Cross, a very thinly-veiled attack upon the then-popular Ku Klux Klan. Which actually did serious and lasting damage to their reputation as a group, managing to destroy a significant amount of their mystique and allure as a strange secret society.

Complications
Love: His adoration for Princess Taia.
Man Out of Time: Amentep is unfamiliar with the twentieth century, and struggles with his lack of familiarity.
Responsibility: As a member of Shazam's Squadron of Justice.

Notes
Ibis the Invincible is an odd mirror to Zatara the Magician. Aside from both being inspired by the archetype of tuxedo-wearing Golden Age sorcerers, they were oddly enough both introduced as backup stories in an issue which introduced an iconic super-strong flying character who would later go on to become one of the defining members of the archetype with many characters directly or indirectly inspired by them. In Zatara's case, it was Superman, and in Ibis' case, it was Captain Marvel.

Beyond that, Ibis the Invincible is a fairly straightforward mystic drawing upon a single central dynamic array, with the odd twist that his powers derive from an easy-to-lose magical device. The functions of the Ibistick have on occasion been shown to be potentially much greater than what I've given it above, but that can be handled by hero points and power stunts.

Notes:
The 1950s were kind of an interim time for Superman, with it being kind of between the Golden Age and the Silver Age in terms of overall style. It's hard to point to the specific story in which Kal-L gave way to Kal-El, though the Kal-El spelling was already widely being used by the fifties, but at this point, it was unclear as to the continuity between Superboy and Superman, and he wasn't aware of his kryptonian heritage until well into adulthood when kryptonite was introduced into the comics themselves. The stories of the early-to-mid fifties were fairly lacklustre, from what I can tell, and borderline farcical in areas, with Superman basically being written mostly into domestic situations interacting with Lois Lane rather than actually being a superhero.

By the end of the fifties, however, Superman had unambiguously shifted all the way into the Silver Age, with the introduction of Supergirl, the Legion of Super-Heroes, the Justice League, and the villains Brainiac, Bizarro and Titano.

Notes:
By the 1960s, Superman was effectively the single most unstoppable character in superhero comics. He was hyper-intelligent, hyper-fast, hyper-strong, and had pretty much any ability you could mention. While I'll admit that his power level was perhaps a bit insane at times, he was still ultimately a far more compelling character than the Iron Age incarnation, owing to the fact that he was still actually a flawed and perfectly fallible individual. And in ways that were actually avoided by the John Byrne Superman, such as being fully capable of misjudging a situation or person, or being torn apart by indecision simply because either choice might hurt a friend. Every instance I've seen of the John Byrne Superman has him as being infallible, incapable of being wrong about something even when he seriously ought to be, while the list of mistakes that the this Superman has made have been able to fuel whole plots by themselves. Such as his jealousy and mistrust towards Mon-El, which resulted in the poor Daxamite accidentally getting poisoned by lead and trapped in the Phantom Zone for a thousand years.

The reason why Silver Age Superman remains compelling is basically summed up in one word... imagination, as Alan Moore put it. The stories of Superman had things like time travel, alternative realities that he could personally travel to with a bit of effort, and he was fast enough to travel pretty much anywhere in the universe. On top of that he had additional supporting characters like the Legion of Super-Heroes and the Justice League. And all of that added up to so much storytelling potential that it seems almost an insult to the earlier generations of writers for them to have completely demolished it. In the modern age, Superman wasn't a main member of the Justice League, the Legion of Super-Heroes had to be retconned into oblivion, Superman's primary setting was Metropolis, in the twentieth century, and the entire multiverse had been completely annihilated except for the Antimatter Universe and the eventually-destroyed Pocket Universe.

But I'll finish this rant another time.

EDIT: Updated with the variable structure. In this case he's actually a couple of ranks higher, since the sixties were arguably the peak of Superman's powers.

Notes:
One thing I've changed from the previous version is that I'm now embracing the variable power, which he can shift around as a free action to his heart's content, with 125pp of effects at his disposal, since a little digging shows that while he could fit for an array, he's capable of summoning nearly any magical effect you could think of. And he can do it a lot more quickly than Zatanna, and though he does admittedly display a few more 'standard' sets of spells than she does (which would befit an array), his generally plot-device styled nature means that you can generally give him a variable power and it would almost certainly fit for most of what he does. I haven't made a list of his sample spells because the sheer number of them is admittedly insane.

Notes:
By the time of the 1970s, Superman was slowly transforming into a more 'modern' superhero, fighting modern battles and acting more or less as a more epic, high-level version of typical superhero adventures while also maintaining the imagination of the previous decade. Though he was toned down somewhat in strength from the previous incarnation, he was about as strong as he need to be in order to be a decent character, and he had a remarkably fun cast of supporting characters on top of that. This era's Superman is basically the version that inspired the Christopher Reeve films, and in personality the two characters are largely the same, though there are a lot of differences introduced for simplicity's sake. For instance, the comic-book Superman was previously Superboy before becoming an adult superhero, had a very large supporting cast of other heroes, and was not actually from Kansas. That itself was something made up for the film.

Smallville was, as imagined by the writer of the time (Elliot S! Maggin), somewhere in Maryland on the East Coast. This is consistent with the local geography as displayed in the comics themselves, and also makes sense given the fact that it's meant to be near to Metropolis, which is itself meant to be in Delaware. This also works given the fact that Superman's highly liberal for the most part, despite the right-wing trying to make claims to the contrary. And despite the whole 'American way' thing, I suppose being Republican is antithetical to truth and justice.

EDIT: Brought in line with other Pre-Crisis Superman builds.

Welcome back to the old shore of the edition pond.

I have to say that some of your PP totals are pretty insane, appropriate but insane (NOTE: I'm still struggling to bring my Superman closer to a playable PL/PP rate).

Welcome back to the old shore of the edition pond.

Thanks, I really missed the old edition's way of working, and having drawbacks makes figuring out certain things a million times easier.

I have to say that some of your PP totals are pretty insane, appropriate but insane (NOTE: I'm still struggling to bring my Superman closer to a playable PL/PP rate).

I basically build to capture what the characters are capable of. If they wind up hitting their power level and power point totals appropriately, that's completely by accident, and I don't really have any intentions to build characters to power level and power point scores. Superman in particular is a rather difficult one; he can be done, if you're willing to indulge in a bit of array-based construction (admittedly much easier on that note with a wide array), but it's really, really hard.

Notes:
So, here we have Brother Voodoo. Rather expensive though surprisingly un-damaging for his power level, Brother Voodoo is a skilled magic-user whose main focus is on mental effects, trickery, and a bit of fire manipulation. His biggest claim to fame came in more recent events where he was given something of a boost in his magical talents and became the replacement Sorcerer Supreme after Doctor Strange lost the job. I'll have to build that version at some point.

Complications:
All-American Boyscout: Superman attributes his sense of virtue and morality to his having been raised with various mid-western American values and ideals.
Enemy: More than previous incarnations, this version of Superman is the sworn enemy of corrupt businessman Lex Luthor, opposing his corporate empire on many levels and in many areas.
Identity: Superman is secretly Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter and journalist for the Daily Planet.
Relationships: As Clark Kent, Superman has close relationships and friendships with the other members of the Daily Planet. He is also still quite close to his adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent.
Son of Earth: Superman considers himself a native of the planet Earth and thus considers himself human, in spite of his extraterrestrial origins.

Notes:
So here we have what is arguably the 'big blue boyscout' version of Superman. Oddly enough, despite being the 'most iconic version' of Superman, previous versions of the character very much avoided that sort of idea, and it was only in the John Byrne reboot that he was specifically and irrevocably turned into the high school football star and the version of Superman who embodied mid-western values. He wasn't even from Kansas in his Pre-Crisis incarnation. Beyond that, this version of Superman is lacking in many of the really distinctive or interesting aspects of his previous incarnations. Many of the prior versions of Superman were genius scientists, for instance, as strong in mind as they were in strength, while the John Byrne reboot kind of turned Superman into a more straight-forward brick who wasn't exactly an idiot, but wasn't exactly very intelligent either.

I personally think it was a bad idea. But rather than go on a big rant, I'll leave it at that. One major difference that this has from the original 3e form I made was that he now has renewed access to his previous sun-dipping feat that allowed him to temporarily increase his abilities with exposure to yellow solar radiation. For the most part, this takes the place of bonus luck points, an idea I have to thank Taliesin's old builds for, which allows him to use extroardinary effort with greater ease.
