J-Mart I 2E: Green Scar Hulk, Mandrill, Nekra

[Thorpacolypse]

what? this is cheap imitation shaft!

Why, of course, Kreuz. That's how J-Mart keeps its profit margins so high.

I was laughing my arse off when I read your post. Don't worry, the REAL Shaft is in the works as well!

Hitting the Aisle 12 shelves is a very dangerous build. You might say it should be registered as a LETHAL WEAPON.

Your jokes should be registered as lethal weapons because they suck so bad, they are killing people...

Shut up, Randal!

Comments: I’ve wanted to do this build for a while now, so finally I get around to Martin Riggs, THE lethal weapon from the Lethal Weapon series. Riggs is a good street level martial artist as well as a great streetwise cop and a world class marksman, hence the Precise Shot, Improved Aim and Ultimate Aim feats. I focused more on skills than combat feats, but that could change if I actually involve he and Murtaugh (coming) in a test and he doesn’t fare well if he gets in a scrap.

Man, these super cop builds are fun. I may have to take up a little story with them when I finish Dead In America instead of the Gotham thing I was going to do. Or heck, I might send these guys TO Gotham, just to see how they fare against the freaks.

Comments: Loves me some Roger Murtaugh. He and Riggs have been a great team for years and even though the 4th movie was definitely where it should have ended, I’ve love to see them in cameos in other stuff just for nostalgia sake.

Roger is not near the fighter Riggs is, he’s the people guy. He has good Diplomacy skill and lots of ways to help his partner be even more lethal, with his Inspire, Leadership and Teamwork skill, and an extra helping of Luck just for that extra boost when they need it. And I had to give him the Improved Aim for his famous stop, slow neck roll, aim and fire shots.

Comments: Keeping with my street level/action movie character run, here is a favorite of mine, from the movie that opened my eyes to Jackie Chan, Keung, his character from Rumble in the Bronx. Love, love, LOVE that movie. If you’ve never seen it, pick it up, you will not be disappointed.

Does it have a great plot? No. Is the acting even at decent level? Not really. Does Jackie Chan just rock more than should ever be allowed on screen. You bet. To me, this is about his peak as a comedic/martial arts/action movie star. In the fight scenes, he really never KO’s anybody like a Jet-Li or Steven Seagal does, he just hits and moves, hits and moves, hence only one rank of Improved Critical and lots of defensive fighting feats. He also does his usual array of stunts, so he gets the Ultimate Acrobatics check. Gotta have this build make a cameo in a story somewhere.

Comments: Did not see the new Bourne Identity movie until a couple of months ago and after that, I questioned why I waited so long. I thought it was great. I rented Bourne Supremacy the next week and even though the little Thorpacolypses kept interrupting Mrs. Thorpacolypse and I, got through most of it and like it even more. Still haven’t gotten to Ultimatum yet, but I am really looking forward to it.

As you can see from the build, I made Bourne about as bad-arse as you can get for a spy type character, but from the movies, he was about as close to peak efficiency in that area as you could get. He was a master of hand-to-hand, great at stealth, a crack shot, fluent in many languages, and always seemed a step ahead of his pursuers. Some may question the lack of Charisma, but that was because he was great at blending into a crowd when need be, and someone like that needs to be able to less than memorable, so mid-range Charisma is actually an advantage. It would be something to be strived for like Damon did when he was in Ocean’s 11 and he was getting into character and they wanted him to be effective, but not someone they would remember.

Comments: I was going to go a different direction with my action movie builds, but after doing that Lethal Weapon stuff, I felt compelled to work up Mr. Joshua, Gary Busey’s psycho mercenary character from the first movie. He was pretty much Riggs’ equal in every way, but he lost in the “title match” at the end.

His build is very similar to my Riggs build with a few tweaks to make him a little more of a brute. He gets a high Fort and Toughness save (remember the lighter on the hand move?) and Fearless because…well, if you’re Gary Busey, what the hell else is there to be afraid of, in-character or not?

Comments: OK, Unleashed as a movie was just about at OK level. I like it OK, but wished I hadn’t paid full price for it when I was there. I loved the Jet Li action scenes, of course, and Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins are great actors, but the movie as a whole just didn’t click to me. However, the concept was great and I would love to see a better remake in the future.

What I did love about the movie, of course, was Jet Li laying beatdowns on everyone that he fought. So that’s what I went for here; a no-nonsense martial artist/brawler build that does very little else. I wasn’t sure if the whole “won’t fight until collar removed” thing was a complication or drawback, so I erred on the side of taking a PP for a drawback. Can’t wait to turn him loose in a street level game.

Here is his "Uncle" Bart, played with his usual acting excellence by Bob Hoskins.

Comments: Cessily Kincaid is Mercury, she of the living liquid metal body. She's a meant for stealth and teamwork, but she can be pretty effective in combat with her ability to turn her body into melee weapons, ergo the Strike power.

I think I am about done with the New X-Men/Hellions builds. I have Armor and I think Pixie left. I don't know much about Pixie, but I have the Quest for Magik on order, so I guess I will shortly.

Clean Up 1/17/10: Cess gets some reworking now that she's getting some good run in the Utopia arc.

Comments: Still working through the X-kids builds. Armor gets posted today and she’s a pretty interesting character, although she is better drawn than played, I think. She has the ability to create a Psionic body armor around herself that increases her strength and makes her very difficult to harm. I’m a bit iffy on the mechanic, but as always, I can go back and change it around. She can substitute as a tank in a pinch, and I hope they develop her character because I think should be a good leader for an X-Team someday.

Comments: Way back in the day, I remembered reading something with American Eagle in it and forgot all about him until I was flipping through a Thunderbolts book where they were trying to bring in him, Steel Spider and someone else. I don’t remember much other than him PWNING Bullseye, so I had to write him up.

Jason Strongbow is similar to Warpath (shocker that they would be Native American characters similar) in that he is strong, fast and has enhanced senses. He rides a nice hog and his a special crossbow that he generally uses to stun opponents, but I seem to remember him using it with sharp bolts as well. I’d like to see more of him, but the Marvel universe is pretty crowded right now.

Comments: This is my favorite incarnation of Bart Allen, as Kid Flash II. He was a great character at that time, just a bit more focused than he was as Impulse, but still goofy enough to talk Robin into letting him drive (and subsequently wreck) The Batmobile. I guess they needed to thin the speedster ranks again when they offed him, but I sure hope returns at some point (apparently Titans Tomorrow says he will) as more of his old self.

Bart's a really effective PL8. He's fast, of course, but he is very smart and actually read every book in the San Francisco library and retained a lot of it, hence the Jack of All Trades and Beginner's Luck Feats. And in the Thorpacoverse, that whole "going into the Speed Force, aging, coming back as The Flash and then dying" did not occur. He's still zipping around with the Titans trying to catch Wonder Girl nekked.

Clean Up 8/17/08: I didn't really feel comfortable with Bart at PL8 the more I thought about it, so I bumped him up to PL9. Not a lot of changes, really and I even kept his Speed at the same level. I just wanted to have most of my version of the Titans at PL9 for another cameo I have in mind for them.

My original PL8 version remains for comparison.
