Here’s another Thunderbolt member, Mach IV. He makes a great support unit and can mix it up well in both melee and at range. Really Mach IV’s wide variety of powers really gives him more than a few options, especially when you throw in his inventor feat. Most of the time he’ll use move by actions with his blaster to hurt a foe and stay out of easy attack range. Against a foe with impervious protection he’ll instead rely on his mini missiles (the area blast). In a team fight he’ll alternate between that strategy and using move by actions to deliver teamwork.by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:03 pm
Uniform [+4 Toughness; Quick Change; 5ep] Asteroid M [Size: Colossal; Toughness: 20; Feats: Combat Simulator, Communications, Computer, Defense System, Fire Prevention System, Gym, Hanger, Holding Cell, Infirmary, Isolated, Laboratory, Living Space, Power System, Security System, Teleport (affects Others). Cost 23ep] Wow, Magneto is a monster. At 210 power points there is next to nothing that this man can’t do, especially if given enough time. I know he can do odd things like produce wormholes, gravity wells, and alternate blasts. However these things are also not easy for him. As a result he has to use extra effort in order use his powers as such. Such plot devices are usually the result of his numerous craft and knowledge skills, and with his inventor feat. Feel free to go wild with those, Magneto has built some amazing stuff over the years. I know that Magneto isn’t really limited to lifting metal anymore. As a result normal telekinesis is an Alternate Power to his Magnetic control (sorry I did not feel comfortable building magneto without magnetic control, and it only cost me 2pp). I also gave him Asteroid M as a base. This is a placeholder. If he’s ruling Genosha instead use the points to build a palace. His status benefit is also in a state of Flux, many Mutants see him as a savior, but again if he’s off ruling Genosha that could also be his status as ruler. In which case also feel free to take one of his ranks in wealth away and give him Diplomatic Immunity as well. Ultimately Magneto is a foe that requires all the X-Men working together to defeat. Also I gave him crappy fortitude and Reflex saves so he can find himself at the Mercy of clever players.. that and he was already really expensive.

Here’s Marrow. I really struggled with how to emulate her abilities. What we got is a strike aura (her normal bone protrusions), protection (because of her unique physiology), damaging create object (to represent her concentrating, sprouting a bone big enough to be used as a weapon, and the pain of wrenching it out of her body), and Regeneration (to offset some of the damage she does to herself by creating objects). Bone Knives – [+2 Damage; Auto-Fire; 19-20 Crit; Mighty; Thrown] Bone Spear – [+3 Damage; Extended Reach, 19-20 Crit; Mighty; Thrown] Bone Sword – [+5 Damage; 18-20 Crit; Mighty]by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:08 pm
Marvel Boy, aka Justice, aka Major Vance Astro, is the resident psychic of the New Warriors. He’s very much the ultimate team player. His stint as the New Warrior’s leader leaves him with powers in inspiration, and he’s capable of using teamwork to his friends’ aid. He also has the interpose feat, meaning he can put himself, and his nice thick force field between a tough opponent, and one of his allies. This alone makes him the perfect counterpart to Speedball. Deep down Vance here is a nice support unit. He can aid his teammates in several different ways, but will not be the offensive focus of a fight.by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:08 pm
M.J. is a fun little build. She’s got tons of professions, and some acrobatics to represent her past careers. She also has Notice and Sense Motive. She’s hung around Spidey long enough to know to keep her eyes open. Her real use is to lay on the inspiration for Spider-Man. That sudden jolt of +2 to all of Pete’s attacks can really give him the boost he needs in a tough fight. She can also use leadership to help Peter shake off negative status effects.by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:09 pm
Here’s another Hellion, Mercury. She can shift her form back and forth from a solid to a liquid. In liquid form he’s an excellent infiltrator, faster than all heck, and can drown a foe with her liquid body. Her suffocate is really her money attack as few foes have the fortitude save needed to avoid just how nasty an attack that can be. I couldn’t get confirmation if she had a solid form too, but you can extra effort it just in case. However I am operating the assumption that when they say "solid mercury" it means that her entire body is made of mercury, no organs, skin, or organic material (which explains why she and Wither can be friends) Update: 3/16/06 by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:11 pm
Cue the obscure New Warriors Villains! Midnight’s Fire is one bad dude. Physically he’s a match for Captain America, but since he went to the streets and became a cop killer and drug lord he does have the benefits of having thugs, and tons of street smarts. The basis for the character is that he’s deadly if you happen to be a normal human. Between his heightened ability scores and mess of combat feats I think I’ve done that. This is exactly the type of guy dangerous enough to force Night Thrasher into building his combat armor. When you toss in his force of thugs he becomes a dangerous foe for inexperienced hero group, and downright vicious in a one on one fight.by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:12 pm
Colossus – Alternate Form Solid 8 [Density 8 (+16 Strength, +8 Impervious Protection, Immovable 2, Super Strength 2; Ground Strike; 25pp), Immunity 8 (Life Support minus Disease; 8pp)] Wolverine – Strike 4 (Power Feats: Mighty, Quick Draw; Extra: Penetrating [+1]; 10pp), Super Senses 5 (Scent [Extended, Accurate], Tracking; 5pp), Regeneration 8 (Recovery Rate 8; 8pp) Cyclops – Blast 8 (Extras: Penetrating [+1], Duration – Concentration [+1]; AP: Move Action Deflect [All Ranged]; 33pp), Immunity 1 (Havok’s Powers; 1pp) Northstar – Flight 8 (16pp), Force Field 8 (Extra: Linked to Flight [+0]; 8pp) Deadpool – Regeneration 8 (Recovery Rate 8; 8pp) No tradeoffs here, Mimic needs to be able to do everything at once hence he needs to be flexible. Mimic is a poor man's Argo, meaning that he can mimic ANYTHING mutant based. But as a result he's deadly. He tends to keep the same set of powers for a long period of time, but feel free to drop one power set in favor of another mutant's powers. The lower mimic level restriction means so he won’t go and perfectly mimic a powerful attack like Cyclops’ eye blasts. It may not be technically legal but I let Deadpool and Wolverine’s Regeneration stack for purposes of Mimic. Therefore he’ll get a chance to recover from Bruised Status once per round without rest required, an Unconscious State after one round, Injured status one round, Staggered Once Per Round, Disabled status once per five minutes. He doesn’t get a recovery check bonus, the ability to recover ability damage quickly, and he also doesn’t get resurrection (though I suppose he could use extra effort to get them). As mutants seems to lack angst in his reality Mimic has the benefit feat as he's a celeberity on his Earth. Update by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:13 pm
The Baxter Building [Size: Large; Toughness: 10; Features: Communications, Computer, Defense System, Fire Prevention System, Gym, Hanger, Infirmary, Laboratory, Library, Living Space, Power System, Security System, Workshop; 16ep] Uniform [Comm-Link, GPS Receiver, PDA; 3ep] Wow! Reed is a monster. His powers and Skill add up to make him a very expensive character, but I got around that. His Elongation goes for a little under two miles, with extra effort that can be pushed to just under five miles (for his sake I just hope he never needs to stretch that far). Frankly Reed is nearly impossible to hurt unless you know how to best do it. Energy based attacks have a DC of 100% higher than normal meaning that his massive protection is a bit less effective. That Uniform will be used on all team members. Between Reed’s Master Plan and his inventor feat there will seldom be a situation he can’t handle. When all is said and done this is the only PL 10 character I can see Dr. Doom cursing on a consistent basis. Update Update: 5/1/06 by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:14 pm
I got bored so decided to do one of Great Lakes Avengers. Mr. Immortal is meant to get run over by any real super powered competition. Of course he can bounce back from any such attack VERY quickly. It makes him useful as a scout, or as someone to step into other instantly fatal situations. He’s got no offense to speak off, but with his above average diplomacy skills he can talk someone into killing themselves (hey he's done it before, why not again.)by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:15 pm
There’s been a lot of call for Apocalypse and related baddies. In that vein I give you Mr. Sinister. Sinister is not a horribly efficient build, he’s not meant to be. He’s a top flight Matsermind villain however. Sinister is packed with skills, and his inventor feat gives him a lot of potential in a fight. Of course he’s not built to win a fight so much as he’s built to survive always everything that you throw at him. His regeneration works as follows. He automatically succeeds all recovery checks, recovers from Bruised or Unconscious Status once per round without rest, Injured and staggered status once per round, Disabled Status once per round, and death once every five minutes. Most times he won’t be using his telepathy and will instead put up his mental shield as high as it’ll go. I know he’s got a bunch of other powers, in those cases I suggest you use extra effort on his telepathy power.by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:25 pm
I got a special request for Moon Knight via PM so here he is. He’s very much a well-balanced costumed adventurer character. Perfect for a Street Level game. Marc’s biggest problem in battle would be doing damage consistently. Unless the moon is close to full he lacks the strength to go toe to toe with most super villains, so he needs to rely on his sneak attack and ranged weapons to hurt foes. Again I’m happy I got to use the alternate identity benefits. Marc is exactly the type of character who conforms to my reading on the feat. He has documented identities. Let’s leave aside the fact that he sometimes has trouble figuring out which is real. His Moon Based boosting lasts a full day and brings all his physical abilities up to 22. These affect all his stats as you would assume they would.by MDSnowman » Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:26 pm
All the discussion of Ms. Marvel elsewhere prompted me to write her up. I wanted to hint at her potential, at the same time drive home her limitations. As a result she’s a very one-dimensional fighter. She’s fly in and pound on a foe mercilessly. If exposed to energy attacks she can unleash an energy blast, however with her aim she’s need to all-out attack to have a realistic chance at hitting her target. Her skills reflect her time working in espionage. Of course after this build I had to go and tweak Rogue again. Carol and Rogue should be a fairly even match now. Carol is quicker, and more accurate, but Rogue has the wild card of her mutant power.Users browsing this forum: No registered users and 11 guests
