Kreuz Control - DOOM!, Hydra, Azazel, Angel, Juggernaut

[Kreuzritter]

ordinarily, I'd be going straight into the characters, but given the subject matter, well, I thought a more formal opening was required



The Hall of Doom

Deep within a bleak and dismal swamp, hidden beneath its murky waters, lies the headquarters of the most sinister villains of all time: The Legion of Doom

mobile Headquarters [42]

size: gargantuan [4]
strength: 70 [12]
toughness: 20 [3]
features: combat simulator, communications, concealed, defense system, dock, fire prevention system, gym, hangar, holding cells, infirmary, isolated, laboratory, library, living space, power system, security system, workshop [17]
Movement: water speed 6 [6]

every major supervillain group needs a place to plot their plans, and the legion is no exception

it's also worth noting that while the place seems pretty big for just 13 crooks, at it's peak the DCAU Legion had a roster of nearly 60 supervillains, in addition to the rank and file henchmen that were expected to run the day to day upkeep of the HoD. for LOD minions, i suggest the COBRA grunts as designed by baron[/i]

[Kreuzritter]

okay, some warning, most of the legion are following my design of "I want to play that", so they're going to seem underpowered compared to some of the other builds out there. also, it is my regret to inform you that having never actually played M&M, i do not feel comfortable playtesting my creations, so i would like to take an assistant capable of doing such, either in this thread or in the story hour.

but enough talk. I do hearby call this meeting of the Legion of Doom to order.

It is the purpose of the Legion to align our infamous forces against the powers of good and defeat them, leaving us the rulers of the world. To do this, we have gathered together the thirteen most ruthless villains on Earth...

An update from my 1st ed. design, Frost mostly works from that build, in addition to some bits and pieces lifted from the various iceman builds

Frost is a girl with a lot of options, and generally tries to use them all over the course of a fight while keeping mobile via her air-walking[/img]

the anti-green lantern, I like how sinestro turned out, but he is a bad guy that can be suitably ramped up.

Cool and methodical, Sinestro tends to hang back and above, raining destruction down upon his enemies with his power ring, demonstrating a sense of casual arrogance, often choosing to toy with those who cannot match him. if his enemy is a green lantern, however, Sinestro will go after them first, and in deadly seriousness.

yes, i know create object is part and parcel of the whole GL mythos, but considering that nearly all the stuff sinestro summons is used to attack, i figured TK was the way to go

[mortarion]

Ayyyyy! Sinestro's cool

[Pandaman]

Nifty. Waiting eagerly for the rest of them!

like Superman says, thank god bizarro's an idiot, because that's how I was able to squeeze him down into a 10/150 framework. again, you could make him more powerfu, but I think that this captures his essence fairly well

as you can see, to make up for his stupidity, bizarro has none of superman's weaknesses (mutated DNA means his powers work differently), but he's also so dirt-stupid that he's got a good chance of just shaking off any mental whammies you try to hit him with

the 13th member of the legion, picked from a list of candidates by the simple fact that he's a hulking zombie who can slug it out with superman (other candidates were metallo, copperhead, kalibak, and the Ultra-humanite)

plus, imagine the looks on your players faces when they learn they've gotta fight both "Superman" and "Hulk" at the same time..

[Taliesin]

Oh, this is SWEET! All the great JLU villains at PL10! Makes me kinda sad that CN yanked both Teen Titans and JLU and we'll have no more new eps.

I admit, most of the hard work was done by MDsnowman in his cheetah build, but this cheetah is still quite dangerous

funfact: did you know cheetah was supposed to have been killed off in "injustice for all"? only an artists error saved her from an offscreen but grisly end at the hands of solomon grundy, and paved her way to the last episode

a fairly obscure green lantern foe, Evil Star is perhaps my least favorite build of the legion, mostly for the fact that I think he'd benefit from an increase in power points (it doesn't help that i've only seen two appearances by him in the comics, both of which were quick cameos)

on the upside for Evil Star, he can summon up to twenty-five Starlings, energy based creatures that resemble him (use the imp demon from the back of the rulebook), before falling back on his cosmic energy blast

as captain cold's opposite number, i think it's no surprise that again, I drew inspiration from a pre-existing build (in this case, the captain's feats)

as a Flash Rogue, Heatwave's all about the area attacks, doing everything he can to catch flash flat-footed. and as a rogue, he's the LoD member you want watching your back in a fight (after all, all he wants is the cash. and to start a big pretty fire)

Volcana took some effort to get her the way i wanted, to the point that i was contemplating some pretty drastic changes, but I think this build works fine, don't you?

volcana's a good mix of femme fatale and thug, making her good for a villain group such as the legion, or as a solo operator

as expected, Toyman is built to be an older, meaner version of Freedom city's Toyboy, so the real creditor of this build is none other than steve kenson himself. take a bow, steve.

that said, I gave gadgets to toyman for all those screwy devices he pulls out when cornered, from a hypersonic yoyo (penetrating autofire strike with reach), to a nerf grenade launcher (blast + explosion), or even a jar of D.O.A.-do (thrown suffocate with poison extra). for weapons more suited to fighting superman, make liberal use of his equipment or sidekick feats[/url]
