and here we have Man-Bot, the undisputed tank of Freedom Force. he's also a living bomb, which bears further discussion

as the parent ability, both the focus beam and energy release are slaved to the Energy discharge, which is GM controlled, meaning those AP's are controlled too. normally, Man-bot should be able use the AP's as he woould a normal attack, while the discharge is inactive. however, every so often, disengage the other two and activate discharge (preferably with some warning to man-bot's player). this simulates the energy sinks in MB's armor filling past capacity and releasing the excess build up. what this means is that having man-bot around is a built-in complication, since he presents the additional problem of having to stop an exploding man.

if you'd like a rule of thub for gauging when to set off discharge, just note how often man-bot uses the focus or release powers, since both powers are the result of his venting the buildup in a controlled fashion

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

Doh! And I even looked at your index to see which FF characters had been posted already. Must have missed them. That's what happens when sleep deprivation starts kicking in.

And there you have it folks, the core roster of Freedom Force, Patriot City's number one super-hero team, all set to protect the good ol' U.S. of A. from criminals, aliens, time travelling warlords, mole people, ancient gods, giant robots, and of course, Communists.

while ordinarily I'd suggest the full group for any playtests, to truly capture the FF experience, use a squad of 4 heros. not only does it make for cleaner bookkeeping, but it gives each hero more of a chance to shine.

actually, that's a man/gorilla hybrid created by the nazis using the Energy-X blitzkrieg sent them from the future.

that it resembles something out of the 'evil-on-a-budget' catalogue is simply a design aesthetiic

another of Blitzkreig's creations, the Eyes of the Reich are little more than floating cybernetic hunter/killer drones, used to track down allied superhumans. and while they might lack the brute force for such a task, it's detection and variable blast allow them to strike through a hero's vulnerabity. And while that is cause for concern, what really seels the threat is that the Eyes of The Reich travel in packs

the japanese representative in BlitzKrieg's super-Axis, Red Sun is easily the most honorable of the 3 villains, refusing to stoop to their levels of treachery or barbarity. of course, there is the fact that Red Sun gets too fight with an army at his side, so it's kind of a moot point

Making Red Sun proved to be a challenge, as I wanted to make sure that he got 5 pl 10 copies of himself to feild, in addition to his fire elementals, while still being a deadly foe himself yet remaining in a 150 pp framework. finally, after mulling it over, I realized the answer was to streamline the build, and make him PL for as few points as possible. As it currently stands, without his duplication, Red Sun comes to to exactly 105 points. so, heros fighting Red Sun have to fight 6 PL10s and 50 PL6 fire elementals.

i think it's worth noting that Red Sun's summoning powers were included in determining the cost of his duplication. this was partly to save points, and in game provide a way to keep Red Sun's duping a secret (players should think at first that he's one guy, not six). this also means that Red Sun can technicly could summon up to 300 fire elementals in a single fight. however, even if this is legal, i strongly suggest not doing it for the fact that your players will no doubt stage a mutiny and promptly feed you your dice bag for such a stunt

Not every supervillain wants to conquer the world or lay waste to humanity, instead preferring more conventional forms of crime, like bank robberies, smuggling and protection rackets. Pinstripe is one of them. he's content to be a big fish in a small pond, mostly due to the fact that said 'small ponds' have fewer heros to stand up to him. and if he does fight superheros, he'd rather not have to deal with Freedom Force if he can help it

ever the traditionalist, Pinstripe actually eschews fisticuffs in favor of his custom heater, a medium machine gun retooled to resemble a tommy gun. which, when used in combination with his gravity control, is actually a pretty sound strategy. but, if you ask me, Pinstripe just doesn't want to mess up his suit with the other guy's blood

one half of Freedom Force's 'legal team', Law is inclined towards defense and support, as exemplified by her healing and deflect powers, although she can throw down if she has to. however, that's what Order's for
