My browser reads them fine, I'd double check and make sure you aren't surfing the site from work. I know those school browsers can be pretty resistrictive.

Mr. Terrific can do nearly anything as you can imagine… he’s a tad expensive. His wide variety of skills couple well with his inventor feat. Meanwhile his beginner’s luck, improvised tools, jack of all trades, and eidetic memory feats make him even more of a monster. His T-Sphere’s do the Lion’s share of the work for him in combat, blasting, fatiguing, and otherwise occupying an opponent until Holt can unleash an invention or procure a more reliable damage source than his simply sneak attacks. Meanwhile his suit acts as a comm-link, provides protection, and conceals him from all electronically based senses.

Update: 11/06/06

I updated Mr. T this build owes a lot to Taliesin’s version of the character. His idea of using the T-Spheres as minions was simply brilliant and allowed me to shave points all over to improve my build.

Here’s a build I’ve been wanting to tackle for a while, Magik. Essentially she’s just a teleporter with a little something extra. In this case that something extra is the remnants of being the sorcerer supreme of Limbo. It doesn’t do her much good in our dimension, but she’s a skilled ritualist, and able to use the Soul Sword. The Soul Sword gives her a somewhat reliable source of damage (though it’s more reliable against creatures and people who use magic); the ability to nullify magical effects on anything it touches, and allows her to harness her magic enough to wreath her in armor. The Soul Sword is what keeps her from being strictly group transportation and makes her a pain to fight.

Nimrod

PL: 12 (210pp)

Abilities: STR: 30 (+10) DEX: 10 (+0) CON: -- (+0) INT: 20 (+5) WIS: 20 (+5) CHA: 06 (-2)

Skills: Intimidate 16 (+14), Notice 12 (+17)

Feats: Favored Opponent [Mutants] (4), Speed of Thought

Powers: Density 8 (+16 Strength; +4 Toughness (Impervious); 2 Immovable, 2 Super Strength; Extras: Continuous [+1]; Flaw: Permanent [-1]; Power Feat: Innate; 25pp), Immunity 40 (Fortitude Effects, Mental; 40pp), Protection 13 (13pp), Regeneration 10 (Recovery Bonus: 9; Resurrection: 1; Power Feats: Persistent, Regrowth; 12pp), Super Senses 4 (Extended [x2] Acute Mutant Awareness; 4pp), Variable Power 8 (Multiple Powers of the Super Science Descriptor; 48pp)

Combat: Attack +12 [Unarmed +10] Defense 17 (14 flat-footed) Init +5

Saves: Toughness +17 (4 Impervious) (17 flat-footed) Fortitude +NA Reflex +5 Will +8

Abilities 10 + Skills 7 (28 Ranks) + Feats 5 + Powers 142 + Combat 38 + Saves 8 – Drawbacks 0 = 210pp

So I finally got around to building Nimrod. He’s expensive as all hell and only really does two things well. 1. Find Mutants, and 2. Make them wish they were never born. His Favored opponent feat allows his variable powers to hit their caps vs. mutants, and acts as an uncontrolled power attack on unarmed attacks. Throw in a frightening toughness save and it’s easy to see why it takes a whole group of X-Men to bring Nimrod down. And naturally if you do kill him he’ll be back again due to regeneration.

This version of Kitty is much closer to my heart than the earlier version I posted. She’s not a Ninja, she’s not built like a super model, doesn’t wear leather, instead she’s the sweet girl that she started out as. She’s an outstanding teammate who can unleash a surprisingly nasty stun attack, or short out machinery with a touch. Throw in her ability to air walk and she becomes VERY useful to have around. Sure, she can’t take a hit, but she’s incorporeal, most folks would need to use extra effort to actually bypass that.

very nice always was one of my favorites although she's not that good in an rpg becuase it seems a lot of her powers feel into the power level X category.

P.S. also like Nimrod

Heh yeah I considered giving her the Involuntary transformation drawback, but it's not much of a drawback turning into at least a PL 14 character when you're in the right dimension.

Nice. Magik is one of my favorite New Mutants, and It's nice to see a build for her.

[SilverKeyMan]

Any chance of Spiral and Deathbird?

[HappyDaze]

Is Magik's Soul Sword really a Device since she seems to be able to summon it at will? I'd go with a variant Container power myself.

[The Stray]

In reading over my collection of New Mutants, I notice that she can also move trhough time, though her control is somewhat unreliable the further she travels.

Yeah I'm considering that extra effort on her Teleport power.

[razzputin]
