[JoshuaDunlow]

On Aisle 14, we have an original villain team of mine. Which was spawned from my days of Marvel Super Heroes, Revised Basic. We start with the leader of the group, Tech Rat.

Tech-Rat (Dr. David Jeffries)
Story: Dr. David Jeffries used to be a scientist, that was looking for the cure for several diseases. he was very brilliant even at a young age, before he was to become the strange abomination that he was. A failed experiment, caused his body to mutate in the sewers. When thugs trashed his lab, and left him for dead on the streets. Now he feels he has no choice but to hide, an do what ever it takes to continue his research. He may be a pacifist to a point, but he isn't afraid to get a job done. But he wont go as far as kill an opponent outright. Unless his own life is in jeapordy. He usually lets the others do the heavy stuff, while he sits in the background helping out when needed. Like getting the most powerful characters off the scene with his stun gun. Tech Rat, took four young people under his wing to help teach and utilize their potentials and powers. Lace, Bad Medicine, DJ, and BlackWidow.

Next in line for our Sewer Rats line on Aisle 14, we have Bad Medicine.


Bad Medicine (Aka James BlackEagle)

His grandfather attempted to teach him the ways of the great spirits, and the elements. But James was just to eager and rash. He left the reservation to make his own life within the world, and quickly became a body guard or bounce thanks to his great size. Since he stands six foot eight inches, his tactics include running at foes so he can use his strike power, or capture them in earth pits. He met tech-rat through Rhonda, and joined the team because tech-rat almost reminds him of his grandfather.

The third in our Sewer Rats line, is DJ.


DJ (Aka Dwayne Johnson III)
Story: DWayne johnson otherwise known as DJ, was an up and coming musical artist, with a sound that was all his own. But instead of going into pop, he went into rock. Which was an interesting move for him, that proved to be just the right thing. However an accident behind stage, would affect him for the rest of his life. Perhaps he was a mutant to begin with, but an overload with the sound system caused an explosion. That sent him to the hospital. Over the next few weeks he recovered, gaining enhanced strength and sonic control powers. He got into the sewer rats through Lace, who he was dating before he realized who she was. He joined mostly for the excitement of using hispowers, anyway he wished. Without being a hero all the time. Now he works as a DJ at a local nightclub.

Perhaps the deadliest member of Sewer Rats is Black Widow, and she is called that for a good Reason. So here she is, #4 on our team rouster for this villain group.


Black Widow (Aka Andrea Soto)
Story: Andrea soto grew up being blind, looking for a way to see again. She was bitter, and turned to martial arts and larcenous pursuits to help attempt to do so. But her more lucrative parents, wanted her to study law. So she became a lawyer, something she was good at. But she wasn't in it for the satisfaction of defending the system. She wanted to use it. Black Mail, Extortion, and Intimidating. All things she was rather good at, helped her track down and steal an experimental body armor that would allow people to function in low sensory situations. Which was perfect for her so she became the BlackWidow. Eventually she ran into Dr. David Jeffries who offered her a proposition. And would work on cybernetic replacements so she could see again, if she helped work for his group. She agreed and has never looked back yet. I would like to point out, she is perhaps the most evil of the group. She has no problems killing others.

It's incredible what a character can look like, by just adding a few more points. My original build for her was nothing like this. After updating her with what i know now, she just rocks. This character was majorly under 150 pp's. You can find the original write up on the link for the Sewer Rats.

Comments: Finally, I sat down and built the man my family and my web moniker are named for, the Mighty Thor. It’s probably not a big stretch to figure out that my last name is Thorpe (and that my first name begins with a J…) and with that, my dad and I have always had a fascination with the Norse gods, and Thor in particular since we assumed that is where our name came from. Well, at least our family's Americanized name, I doubt my African ancestors knew anything about Thor. :)

Anyway, I wanted to wait a while on this one since Joshua had posted a great Thor before, and I wanted to make sure I was at a point where I felt comfortable with my statting abilities (outside of constructs, at least) where I could build him the way I wanted and I feel I have done that. He’s a step above Herc, a half step below the Hulk, Supes and Doomsday, but other than that, no one should touch him. With power to spare and all kinds of ranged attacks if things get too hot in close (his big advantage over Herc, Hulk and Doomsday) he can hang with anyone and give even cosmic level villains fits.

I did tie a lot of his abilities into his weapon(s) and items, but I thought it made it cleaner that way. I know he can control weather without it, but I have rarely seen him do that, I've been reading Thor off and on since Reagan was in office.

It will probably need some clean up later, but I am really happy with the way he came out.

In the Thorpacoverse, he’s still focusing on finding all the Asgardians who were transformed into human form during the Ragnarok breaking event. He has established New Asgard in Missouri (I’ll be damned if I let Oklahoma have it like they did in main continuity!), not too far from Central City. However, he is still involved in big events from time to time and as Donald Blake, he is working as a surgeon for a traveling medical team, allowing him to search the Asgardians as well as provide aid to the humans he has sworn to protect.

Clean Up 7/22/08: Thor gets a clean up and bump up to full PL15 from my original PL14.5 build. Not enough of a difference really to keep the old build like I had been doing, but I did figure out how to work in his Weather Control and have Mjolnir increase it: Power Reserve. I made it an AP off his Lightning Blast and it gives him enough PP to make his Weather Control a very god-like 15 ranks.

Clean Up 11/22/09: Back when I was debating what PL to make Thor for my main setting, I did reworked his PL14 version here and I figured I might as well post it. The PL15 version remains for comparison.

Clean Up 2/26/10: Sigh...Thor goes back to PL15 and the PL14 goes down as the prosperity build. One day...one day i will be happy with a build.

Ah, who am I kidding. I'll be rebuilding these guys forever!

Yea, verily thou must praise mine offspring, The Mighty Thorpacolypse!

This is an amazingly good Marvel Thor, Thorpacolypse. I love the build, the way you handled Mjolnir, everything.

I do have a comment to make about your real name. A Thorpe is a small settlement...smaller than a hamlet. It's a word that was greatly in use in Old England, though it *is* Norse in origin.

edit: i feel kinda bad for pointing that out...perhaps the word is somehow related to the God in its earliest origins.

Don't feel bad, chief, I knew thorp was a small town which I actually learned from my early D&D days (who says RPG-ing doesn't educate). I just LIKE to think it has something to do with the mighty one, which it may, just not as closely as I would like.

And I do bring tha thunder!!! Well, mainly after I have a lot of chili and beer...

Whew. I have this tendency to type educational type stuff before i think about the consequences. I'm glad I didn't distress you. Humourously, even though I had known the word before that, my mind was flashing back to the settlement size tables in the DMG as I was posting...
I love Storm Gods. All of them. Thor, Taranis(Celtic), Taru (he's Sumerian), Perun (Russian), Set, etc. (Zeus isn't really my thing.) Most of them, interestingly, are big redheads with hammers, axes or maces. Even Raiden, the Japanese Thunder God, is portrayed as a red head. (In his case it's the skin that's red, not the hair, but still.

Another big time build hits the Aisle 2 shelves. It's another J-Mart favorite and another build that fits the essence of J-Mart...

Comments: One of my favorites from the old days of the Champions, Hercules. He takes a bit of crap in the comic community about being a Thor punching bag, but Herc has done a lot of good things in his run and I love the fact that he’s getting the Incredible Herc comic going. He and Amadeus Cho should rock.

Build-wise, he’s a top tier powerhouse who can slug it out with Thor, Supes and the like, but in the end, he’ll probably fall. But who knows, he might get lucky and win one for the Greeks!

As far as his role in the Thorpacoverse, he and Cho are going to be working through 12 new labors to help avoid a cataclysmic event that I have yet to finish dreaming up. They will be getting help from, get thwarted by a number of characters along the way. They are also part of Nightwing and Cage’s team from time to time. And of course, Herc and Thor have dust ups from time to time because, well, that's just what they do.

And no mace. Never liked the mace...

And I hope someone gets the Klumps reference...

Clean Up 3/9/10: Herc goes back to PL14 to keep up with the paragon Joneses of the Thorpacoverse...

Comments: I really had no intention of ever building Daimon when I started this store, but when I started skimming through the Marvel Wiki page, he jumped out as someone who might be a useful NPC at some point, so here he is.

Daimon used to be a kind of lame, a sometimes member of The Defenders and other B and C-list comics, but eventually he came to accept his heritage, killed his demon father and took over as lord of “Hell” (which is actually only one of many demonic dimensions which also include Nebraska and Iowa, little known fact).

On Earth, he’s not that great. In Hell, however, he’s nigh omnipotent. Even though he rules Hell, he’s actually not that bad a guy and has helped many of the Marvel heroes in situations where his particular expertise was needed.

[Sidious]

Correct me if i'm wrong but have they removed the whole revalation about his family thing? Last i had known he was the son of Satanish and the grandson of Dormamuu, or some combination of that. I know Dor was in there somewhere.

Has that been tossed out the window now and he's now the son of satan again? I remember the old (90's) series where he got the halo and won hell, I've been terribly lax in keeping up with his newest series.

[JoshuaDunlow]

Bravo, love the thor. And i really love the Daimon Hellstrom.

[JackGiantkiller]

Hellstorm rocks. And this is a good build of him.
