Comments: Zod’s woman and mother of his son, Chris Kent, Ursa. Who knew you could get busy in the Phantom Zone?

Ursa is built at just-sub Supergirl NPC range since she hasn’t stored as much yellow sun energy as Kara or Kal-El, but she’s dangerous none the less. Her best role is to Aid Zod and Non and allowing them to be more effective.

And the third item of our matched Zod set hits the Aisle 1 shelves.


Don't fret Non. Even though you've been lobotimized, you can still lead a prosperous life. Why, look at our President...

Comments: Non is the big bruiser of Zod’s crew. He is considerably stronger than Superman but slow and unfortunately mentally retarded now thanks to lobotomy on Krypton (at least in one of DC continuities). If he lays a hand on you, he’ll cream you, but Supes or someone like Batman or Cap would be able to keep him at bay long enough to outthink him and take him out without Zod and Ursa to guide him.

[Minister]

Wohoo!

[Skarlett Spyder]

Throw in Zod and Ursa (and I am), and Supes really has his work cut out for him when he has to deal with the three of them. He’ll need every HP he can get to try and get out of a scrape with them.

EXCELLENT Zod build! I think you meant "Throw in Non" though, but if you didn't, my apologies - the English teacher coming out of me

[Cyrith]

You know, I've always wondered, do Metropolis insurance agencies cover Acts of Zod?

[Emerald Flame]

You know, I've always wondered, do Metropolis insurance agencies cover Acts of Zod?

Ugghhh!!!! That was bad....

[Thorpacolypse]

You know, I've always wondered, do Metropolis insurance agencies cover Acts of Zod?

Ugghhh!!!! That was bad....

I'm just glad someone else is as corny as me!!!

[Bladewind]

I love to give harvey second chance (sense motive). it feels like you're dealing with two personalities

I like that. I may give him Second Chance on a number of things, since he is all about duality. Thanks for the thoughts.

Taliesin's Dream Girl makes great use of second chance...

Variable Power: Feats
Flaw - Limited to Second Chance
Extra - Reaction (+3)

All for 6 points !

And Knightsfyre, glad you liked. My timing in posting that one really stank...

[Batgirl III]

Curse you J-Mart, I was working on a Zod for my thread. Oh well, I had't gotten him right just yet.. so this gives me a breather.

Another classic spider man villain coming up!

I wanted to give Sandman a try, he seemed like a very challenging build. I didn't see him being much higher than a PL 10 character, and oh what a villain he is! Even for a PL 10 character, this guy is hard to keep down unless you know his weaknesses. Energy weapons, are about the only thing that will harm him for long. I hope i got the drawbacks right too, i wasn't sure what to do with those. And to boot, he's a playable PL 10!.

Comments: My playable (if you are lucky enough to get into a PL16 game) version of Superman of Kingdom Come/Earth-22. As stated before, if you are a comic fan and have never read Kingdom Come READ IT SOON. 2nd best comic ever after The Watchmen in my opinion. Anyway, since DC is now hyping their new Multiverse, he has now shown up in the new Justice Society book (which is really good, I need to add it back to pull list) so he is currently interacting with the heroes of the main continuity.

This Superman is at the height of his powers. He’s stronger than ever and has even evolved past his vulnerability to Kryptonite. His real weakness right now is his struggle to reconnect with his humanity, which is chronicled in Kingdom Come. As such, I lowered his Wisdom, Inspire and Luck feats, along with his interaction skills to compensate. He’s still the greatest hero, but not quite as pristine as he is in the main continuity or on some of the other Earths.

Clean Up 9/27/08: A tweak to my playable Earth-22 Superman since I going through paragons again. My change is the shirt to Perception range Heat Vision and shifting his Defense down and his Toughness Save up to +22. I think that's a better representation of him.

Comments: Brandt gets an update since John Preston did. I took him down a PL, but I am keeping my PL9 version in the bank just in case this tests out badly. I just felt like JP was so much better than anyone else in the Cleric ranks, and he proved that in the finale. Since he was set at PL10, PL8 felt more right for Brandt. He's still pretty wicked, though.

And here is the original PL9 version for reference.

Long live the Gramaton Clerics!!!!

Perfection through perfect practice of perfect moves...

It took me a while to see Equilibrium and I really liked the Gramaton (sp?) Clerics. They made excellent Iron Age characters. Gun-toting machines of destruction... YEAH!!!!

HEEEELLLLLLOOOOOO, J-Mart Shoppers!!!! I've decided to jump the gun and give you all a preview at a character that will later be fleshed out much, much better...when the movie comes out in July.

...you...your insane....First the metamorph Hulk.....now a character based on what you've seen in a trailer, and read on a couple websites from Del Toro interviews??

Back Story: Wink is the 8 ft tall cave troll that is the right-hand man of Prince Nuada in Hellboy II: The Golden Army. He serves as one of the main opponents to Hellboy in this film.

**There is next to no information on this character, because their keeping much of the movie hush-hush till it's release in July, but as I already reserved the Wink figure online (doesn't even ship till July 17th), I gathered what information I could from several sources, and put the character together best I could.
Wink's big feature inthe movie, besides his size and the "GM PLot device", the Tooth Fairy Box, is his Metallic right hand, rumored to have been done to make him a "mockery" of Hellboy (to show that Hellboy isn't special, because the Elf-nation can do that to someone too). The differance in the hands, besides materials, is that Wink's hand can shoot out, like a cannon. It is attached to the rest of the limb by a heavy, metal chain, which allows it to restract, but also for Wink to swing his opponent around at the end of it, as his fingers can move even atthe end of the chain. Thats why I turned a single rank of Anatomic Seperation into a PF for the container.
I have done his "arm cannon" move off of strike and not blast, because it is much better in expanded mechanics then what blast is. Lets say he shoots out his arm...and wishes to use it much like a Morning star. Blast wouldn't allow that, but strike would, allowing him to hit up to his normal Thrown strike range (ok...so I am create some stuff as I go along....it's not COMPLETELY against the rules...nor is it entirely crazy). I made hte Feat of "retractable" for his strike, so that he can retract the arm as he wishes.

As for feats and Skills, I did something running off the concept they have for WW's book, Changeling. They describe Trolls in the setting as powerful, noble warriors. I took that concept, and applied it to what feats and skills I deemed worthy of a "battle troll", and tried to think like Del Toro, from what i know of several interviews with the main. Wink gets the Status of being Nuada's right hand man...er..troll...as well as getting 2 ranks of Fearsome Presence....that pretty much covers his "interation feats".
Wink gets Ranged Pin from his Metal Hand, as he can launch it and pin a person against a wall. His Max length with his arm is 150 feet. (i have no real knowldege of how far it goes out...his average is 30-40 feet...seems good enough for me.) coupel that with his improbed grab and improved Grapple, and improved Pin...and you got one dangerous troll. The only grapple additional feat that he doesn't get with his hand extended would be Crushing Pin, as there is no real way to apply pressure with his hand extended.

Trolls are also known in European folklore as being knowledgable metal smiths, so I gave Wink 8 ranks in Weapon Smith. I find it interesting after giving him this that many "modern" fantasy smiths have metal arms. I wasn't thinking that when I gave it to him...honest. I also gave him some search and survival skills..as trolls aren't stupid...their just not very sociable.

All in all...not bad for a creature that I found a few snippets here and there describing some abilityies...some artwork...and some European folklore knowledge...cuz I know Del Toro LOVES that stuff. I like where he sits, level wise, and it goes to show that with a good enough imagination, and some knowhow on several different things, you can get a decent idea of how a character probally works...even if it is 3-4 months before you get to see him in action.
