blackfire was pretty easy, as she uses most of my earlier Starfire build (appropos, seeing as they're sisters), and allowed me to improve the design in the process. At any rate, Blackfire's built to be a combination of femme fatale and blaster, so she should see play outside of combat as well

Vertigo, a memberof both the Savage Land Mutates and Marauders, is more or less a one-trick pony, but it's a pretty good trick, and her unique backgroundgives her some useful skills besides wordplay

[Yinnyari]

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?

Yay! The most Evil man I know.


You thinking of doing his nemesis, the International Man of Mystery?

Our races may be different, but I respect those who have courage.

Major Rudolph von Stroheim

Stroheim is the commander of the Nazi forces who discover the super-vampire Santana in Mexico. He is appropriately militaristic and menacing, but is also responsible for not only saving Speedwagon's life, but for trying to help Joseph defeat Santana by blowing himself (and the enemy) up. He returns later as a cyborg to assist in the fight against Cars (another super-vampire).

trivia: he's probably named after Erich von Stroheim, famous as a screenwriter and director, primarily in the 1920's.

Design Notes: From the second series of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stroheim is actually one of the good guys (well, for a Nazi), and got himself a writeup because his cybernetics wre fairly straightforward, and his antics keep your attention. for Stroheim as he first appears in the book, use the War Hero archetype from "M&M: golden age" and give him enough equipment for a base in mexico, about 50 soldier minions, and the boxing and wrestling fighting styles

Tactics: Since blowing himself up and becoming a cyborg, Stroheim has gone a little bit crazy, and before the fight will rant and rave about the superiority of Nazi engineering until initiative. once the fight begins, Stroheim will tear off his coat and expose the autocannon, before proceeding to either lay down supressing fire or concentrate his fire on the primary target. the UV ray is similarly used for crowd control, but it's main function is that it's an Anti-Vampire weapon.

In the final episode of Darkwing Duck, Taurus Bullba, DW's first and most dangerous adversary, was brought back as a FOWL-enhanced Cyborg. Although DW barely managed to squeak out a win, Taurs escaped and swore vengeance (this was meant to lead into season 4, but unfortunately, the series was then cancelled)

as you can see, Taurus' glaring achilles heel is that not only are taunts twice as effective on him (thus making as mad as a bull in a china shop), but if you keep it up Taurus'll be so steamed that he just shuts down completely in order to cool off.

Let's rocket!

Astro Boy

When his only son Tobio dies in a car accident, brilliant robotocist Dr. Tenma, who is head of the Institute of Science, goes a little crazy and decides to devote all the institute's resources to producing a robot replica of his dead son. One year later, Astro Boy takes his first steps. He originally lives happily with his creator/father, but the doctor eventually realizes that he'll never grow and isn't a true substitute for his son. He sells Astro to a cruel ringleader who makes him fight other robots in the circus and refuses to treat him as anything other than an object even after Astro saves him from a fire. Eventually though Astro finds a more positive father figure, the new head of the Institute of Science, and lives happily in between doing super-heroic things.

Design Notes: I actually built Astro earlier today, but while I may have forgotten the specifics, I like to think I pulled this one together rather well (admittedly, I looked over grahf's build earlier as a blueprint)

Tactics: A classic 4-color hero, Astro's preferred method of attack is to use a flying overrun on his enemies, but he'll use his blast if it's too dangerous to close in

Introduced in the 3rd year of the TMNT comic put out by Archie Comics, Ninjara started as a femme fatale enforcer, but soon became a member of the book's core cast to the point where she and raphael actually struck up a romantic pairing that lasted through until the book was cancelled.

mechanicly, Ninjara is buit to be both a combat godess and a pretty good theif, although character wise, she takes more pride in being "japan's greatest theif" than her martial prowess

created exclusively for the show Red x was originally an undercover identity created by Robin, but the suit and identity were taken up by a new Red X in the third season. X's identity has actually been a matter of some speculation. some think it's the DCAU's version of Jason todd, others thought for a time it was jericho under the mask, and yet another faction theorize that it's the suit itself come to life.

at any rate, Red X should prove to be quite the handful as a wildcard, so enjoy

[TroyXavier]

Some more sweet covnersions. Nice to see Triplicate Girl love though they don't seem to want to use her much in the cartoon. Red X was always a character I wish they could have done more with in TT(along with Jinx and Blackfire)

yeah, Red X was a bit of a pain to figure out (for the record, he's been on the waiting list since early july), but hey, it works now.
