for those unfamiliar with the character, Circuit breaker was introduced in marvel's transformers comic back in the 80's, to act as a wildcard in the autobot/decpticon fighting on earth, seeing as she hates both sides with equal passion

to make circuit breaker, I started with tech-minded skills (CB designed her cyber-implants), then mixed appropriate of hellqueen (similar mindset) and captain thunder (very similar powers)

Close to a year later, I have a comment.

First, thank you for the Circuit Breaker write-up -- she's one of the little known gems from the Transformers comic series.

However, isn't Josie paralyzed when she's not wearing her suit?

[Kreuzritter]

true, she can apply for the normal identity drawback

Captain Ultra

Surprisingly nice picture. Not nearly as bad a costume as the one in the comics. Speaking of which , IIRC Ultra also had 'penetrating vision' (or some such name), essentialy X-ray vision. I take it that this build is based off some cartoon version of Cap U, instead of the comic version?

the second boss from God of War II, the Dark Rider is sworn to drive away anyone who would dare tresspass upon the Island of The Fates, and with his griffon mount, is designed toward Aerial supremacy, since his spear more or less acts like a blast (the haft stretches, going from polearm to lance.). i figure this'll have to do until threre come rules for mounted/air combat, since I wanted the Rider and griffon to be fighting in tandem. ah well

[Servitor_2152]

Considering the game he's from, you may want to change the griffon's Flight drawback to "Power Loss (if wings are restrained or removed)."

[hero4hire]

and finally

Writeups.org - i never played the dc system, but dang if they aren't a great resource for build suggestions

I used to do writeups for that site on the DC List.

I enjoyed making obscure marvel characters especially. Like Montenegro the Man from the Black Mountain!

Ryu Hayabusa, famed NES icon was doomed to nostalgic obscurity had he not been added to the cast of Dead or Alive.

anyway, i decided to balance both the NES and the X-box versions, giving hm the dread fire wheel attacks, but a capable enough combatant that he can take his foes apart bare-handed if need be.

AWESOME Ryu! Ever consider rebuilding him as per Ninja Gaiden Sigma???

AWESOME Ryu! Ever consider rebuilding him as per Ninja Gaiden Sigma???

nope. like the build said, this one's meant to strike a balance between x-box ryu and nes ryu. not having a 5th-gen system myself, i couldn't build sigma ryu if i wanted to

The titular pro...er, ant... uh, lead of the recent Xbox360/PC action RPG, the Overlord is out to rebuild his fiefdom and take sweet revenge upon the heros who killed him and razed his tower

For the overlord's minions, use the Goblins designed by prodigyduck, before making the following changes per variety:
- Reds: add blast +4, and attack spec for same
- Blues: 1 rank of swimming, then as much healing as you can afford. feel free to sacrifice combat ability, blues are medics, not fighters
- Greens: invisibility, sneak attack
- Browns: teamwork 3, then optimize them to fight close quarters, emphasising their lethality as a group

in battle, The Overlord defaults to 35 browns and 5 Red/Blue/Greens, but will adjust his deployment depending on the situation. if stealth is required, the horde will be mostly greens, while against fliers and other foes unsuited for melee, he'll send out the reds

the King of Olympus, god of thunder and, as depicted here, the final boss of God of War II

while normally Zeus should be a PL-X deity far beyond anything you could stat, during his battle with Kratos it's presumed much of his godly power was stolen by the Blade of Olympus (a PL-X artifact in itself, for those wondering about stats), and thus I've chosen to rep Zeus for the majority of that fight, or how he might look if forced to remain mostly mortal (much like my earlier Athena build)

as the build suggests, Zeus is a beast in melee, but is equally fit to hang back and hurl thunderbolts until the Cretan Bulls come home. and, again using ideas from beleriphon, Zeus is quite adept in social circles, making him a powerful ally or deadly enemy

the heavy from Rocky III, Clubber's a whole PL lower than Rock or Drago, but what he lacks in skill he makes up for in trash-talkin' menace, psyching out his opposition. however, as rock showed, while Clubber is a king of intimidtion, he's got a really crummy sense motive, leaving him open to feints, taunts, and the like. clubber's aggro syle also means he's not cut out for an endurance match, and thus a clever, defensive (Apollo: Don't forget good lookin'.) fighter can leave Clubber at their mercy
