one of the major foes from Freedom force vs the 3rd reich, fortissimo is more or less a cannon in terms of combat, in that you park him somewhere convenient and he starts belting out the chorus, but as designed, Fortissimo is equally suited to being an axis faceman, ingratiating himself with high society and the like

[Kreuzritter]

so, everybody enjoyed Simpsons week?

good.

So, like the thread topic says, the current theme is Freedom Force. for the forseeable future, i'm writing up the 26 remaining 'named' characters from Freedom Force and Freedom Force Vs. The 3rd Reich, maybe throwing in a minion here and there

so, let us harken back to the glory days, when heros were heros, and bad guys were Communists (with the occaissional surviving nazi)

a seriously annoying pain in the butt villain, Deja Vu not only copies himself while speacking exclusively in rhyme, but he's able to create inferior dupes of the heros, too. to save the GM the headache of creating PL6 versions of his players, just use the PL6 archetypes from the back of instant superheros

from the golden age of Freedom Force, Sky King was a hollywood action star whose motivation was as much to impress his girl as it was to do the right thing, in that he built his suit (he had some help), and became the real life version of the serial hero he played on the silver screen

as if the suit wasn't clear enough, Sky King is more or less a tank, able to wade into the fight and fire away, but more ready to be a one man Mustang, laying down close air support for our boys on the front

Kreuz, you've picked quite the pack of characters to do up for M&M. If any video game embodied the spirit of M&M its Freedom Force. Those games were so much fun, even if Minuteman was and overpowered must use character.

[PigLickJF]

Those games were so much fun, even if Minuteman was and overpowered must use character.

Wow, really? I almost never used Minute Man...Liberty Lad and the Ant were two of my favorites, I'd always take them both when available.

Anyway, sorry for the little thread-jack there, so I'll add another agreement that it's nice to see the Freedom Force builds. Good games, fun characters, thanks for the builds.

[Servitor_2152]

I'm digging the Freedom Force builds, too.

And it tickles me to see Blizzard. Think I still have that action figure somewhere, actually. Any chance of seeing more of the beast-gods of Urth?

[Geraturatu]

It never did let me use their most powerful abilities in Primal Rage. I can't rememberif my favorite was the giant fire T-Rex or one of the others. Memories are always good to have.

But yeah, more of those builds would be nice to see.

[Kreuzritter]

I've got vertigo and talon marked for future conversion, actually.

but yes, all your favorites will eventually be added. in fact the only one not getting stats is Lord Domain, but then, he never does anything in-game either

junior member of Freedom Force, the ant isn't as bright as his influences (spidey, et all), but on the plus side, i've covered pretty much all of his powers

[Mistwolf]

Doing a great job on the Freedom Force bunch, Kreuz. Looking forward to seeing your builds on some of my other favorites from the game, like Alchemiss and Microwave.

Are you also going to do builds for the characters that were available for pre-orders, but it turned out anyone could access (Blackbird, Iron Ox, Supercollider)

[Kreuzritter]

considering both iron ox and supercollider are already up, the odds of seeing blackbird are pretty good.

like I said, i'm statting just about everyone who got face time in either game. the only ones whose conversions are in doubt are some of the minions.

presently, though, i'm focussing on the remaining canon (read: default) roster of the Freedom Force team itself.

[Libra]

Kreuz, stop statting for a minute, I'm running out of fingers to count your builds, even if I use extended family. . .

and here we have Microwave, an MVP for the latter parts of FF1. once again, i'm very pleased with how the design turned out, since i was initially worried that Microwave's numerous powers would put him over budget. but, not only is he in budget, but he fits his niche as the team's howitzer (like a tank, but built for range)
