variant on Ana Tarasova. Wanted another agent and she was a fun convert… Just need a code name… Spider Woman… Tarantula… Black Widow… meh…

standard MJ23 devices, added suffocation and a little more oomph to her Alternate Form. This one doesn’t have the drawback of power loss outside of her alternate form – couldn’t justify it.

Was looking for a way to have her create spiders from herself and be able to be linked to them – Variable Split Anatomic Separation combined with Morph, Radar and her 3 ranks of Wall Crawling… I think I got it.

an attempt at the Tangent Batman. The obvious choice would to have gone with Summon Minion with a heroic extra. I may even go back and do that at some point. But if you haven’t noticed yet, I like finding reasons for using Duplication other than creating a horde of identical beings to pile on their enemies – the Aliens notwithstanding…

Other than that, this build is straightforward. Sir William’s Duplication isn’t high enough to allow a full PL version of the Batman armor. And the point total for the Batman is reduced by the Duplication cost. Metamorph was cribbed from Morph, I think it fits.

Sir William and the Batman have no constitution scores – they are undead, not constructs.

The base character’s Equipment represents the castle of the Bat. Note that the armour is duplicated whenever the duplicate is brought into existence…

The Tangent Batman was listed as Sir William. I added Thatcher as a last name in tribute to Heath Ledger...

And no... I haven't been reading Reign of the Superman. Just realized it existed actually...

[MorningKnight]

I really like Ana Tarasova ALOT. Interesting character.

The Tangent Batman's pretty cool too.

Thank you. I'm rather proud of those two characters myself...

The Bladeverse Stormwatch gets another member, the first male that I’ve posted, and quite possibly the most powerful of the group.

Like other posters, I took apart the Super-Speed power. I Alt Power Quickness off of Speed and still built an Array structure, using Deflect at the base power.

For the Share Speed power in the Array, I view as follows. First, in 1st Edition, this option existed as an extra. Using it allowed the character to grant others their speed power at a cost of reducing the overall rank of all characters using the power by one rank. So sharing it with one other reduced the power’s rank for both runners by 1. In this variant, the character is actually using a low rank variation of Empowerment. (Empower: Limited to Speed. 2 ranks.) Affect Others takes less space on the character sheet.

The idea behind Duplication as part of the Speed Array is that by constantly moving, the character can be in multiple places at once. The flaw, only when moving, could be applied. However, the points really aren’t needed elsewhere and it works as flavour text. As a result, even if ‘standing still’ when duplicates are active, the character will be moving – vibrating in place or somesuch.

Duplication functions with a cost of 14 power points. That leaves 6 points available for use for other powers in the Speed Array. Sacrificing quantity (i.e. dropping the Progression Feat) can give additional points to the array. It could be increased to the full 20 points that are available, making the available duplicates number 1000 – but that’s overkill. A duplicated character actually has only two power points that they need to remove from the build as it’s a dynamic power. However, due to calculations, the Duplicates will actually only have 148 power points. Any restructuring of points cab be attributed to the duplicates needing to do a specific task.

His martial art, which as noted elsewhere, all MJ23 members possess at least one, is Aikido. The idea of a soft martial art, as described in the Mastermind’s Manual, fits well with a speedster in my eyes.

In the Bladeverse, Quick is my variation on Johnny Quick. He is around from World War II, his immunity to aging allowing for an extended career… He projects the persona of Johnny Quick from the comics as a front to cover his ties to Stormwatch. The Quickchange feat on his Suit is a low-level Morph effect, changing the Suit into a more “Super-heroic” costume. He uses the so-called Dark-Flash’s costume. This is meant for misdirection purposes for the general public as they confuse him with the Flash…

This character uses Joshua Dunlow’s god campaign rules/ guide, even though the character is not a specific “real life” deity.

Rehenna Amunet is, in the Bladeverse, the daughter of Horus, and thus the granddaughter of Isis. I chose to make her a demi-goddess, even though I could easily have gone for lesser goddess instead. I envision having much of her grandmother’s knowledge and mystical savvy – as evidenced by her god-sphere. A variant on this character had another spell in her repertoire that included an ability to boost combat ability, a nod to her father.

Her god-sphere is Knowledge. Despite my overall ‘distaste’ for the Variable Power, I like it’s use in this context, And seeing how the maximum rank bestowed by the power is one, it’s fairly limiting. She relies on her own magical prowess and her ritual feat for things that go beyond the sphere’s power. I would, however, fudge to permit use of Comprehend for instance at a higher rank than one given that it’s not really a progressive power IMO.

The character itself has been converted from a different game. She was originally a character from White Wolf’s Mummy and then Mummy 2nd Edition. She was then in an MnM 2nd Ed. rpol.net campaign until time constraints pulled me from the game… In any event the character was a priestess of Isis in her lifetime.

On many levels, she is an opposite number to the Mummy film-franchise version of Imhotep. Save perhaps, that she didn’t have to gothrough a ritual to be Reborn… In the modern world, she influences the archaeology world with her knowledge of the history,

The Time Control power on her sanctum is actually simply that time flows differently within its walls… the sanctum itself is an Egyptian-style palace in the middle of the desert. The dimension that contains it is not large, and the furthest edges beyond the palace are a great sandstorm.

Quite complex for a simple concept… One of the three sisters turned into gorgons in ancient myth… Medusa was slain long ago, and Euryale lost contact with Stheno…

:ARROW: realized that I forgot to give her the HQ that I wanted… so I added it in as an afterthought, allowing the character to go over 150 pp.

She stinks in combat, but when you can turn people to stone…

As a mastermind, she shines. Planning ahead, hiding in plain sight… temporary devices and spells… and then I realized that if she attacks someone from behind with her serpents…

“You have a choice hero, you can stop me, perhaps even kill me. If you do the latter, your friend is a statue forever. If I release my control on him… he dies of snake venom. Or… you could let me go, and I’ll release him in an hour – plenty of time to get to a hospital… assuming you can lift him…”

So my grandiose plan to have Bruce Wayne be the alter ego of Superman in the Bladeverse left a glaring hole in the tapestry… how to fill it? I’m not entirely sure that this works.

Murdoch remains based in Hell’s Kitchen, the wealth background being explained either as a won lottery or his mother’s side of the family… Either way, he is set up to replace Batman’s role in the Bladeverse. The actual replacement for Batman is the daughter of his protégé and is jus coming in to her own as Nightwing.

The base of this build is Bankshot from the Hero High Yearbook. The utility belt is an exact duplicate of the one I used for Nightwing which is pretty close to the standard belt offered in MnM Core Book. The suit has wall crawling for the heck of it. Not as proficient as any of the Spider Clan, but still able to get up the side of a building PDQ.

The primary reason to stat this character was actually due in no small part to my intention to come up with some elaborate way of passing a construct as human. In her wiki description and IIRC from the comic where she first appeared TW was supposed to be a perfect replica of a human being. To the point where she could “fool Superman.” Then I got to thinking… does Superman regularly check a person’s innards? I was disappointed and pleased to realize that a simple application of Morph solved my problem…

The Alt Power of Morph represents the fact that TW is a bomb. She can detonate once being vulnerable to the power of the blast. She was supposed to mind wipe the JLA when she went kablooey. The EMP listed above contains Mental Blast and Nullify Electronics – crib points from wherever needed via Metamoprh to power it.

In the end a “playable” PL 12 character that serves as a massive plant in any team.

Attractive is justified as being a big part of T.O. Morrow’s ego to not create anything less than perfection.

A lot of this build is presumed based on origin – skills abilities feats… Tomorrow Woman was never around long enough to be fleshed out despite current appearances in various comics. In fact she claimed to be a Telepath but I don’t recall her ever using that power.

Powers in her TK array are either at their cap, or limited to what I think their maximum rank should be in relation to the build. I didn’t bother to flaw Impervious, even though it could be flawed. I don’t see her as having a Flight rank higher than 9.

Her “Real Name” of Themis Morrow is entirely my own fabrication, and something that I think Superman might have done had the JLA wanted to carve a name on her tombstone. Themis makes a nice parallel to Thomas and is a Greek patron of Justice and, well, Morrow is self-explanatory. Couldn’t think of a parallel name to Oscar in order to up the cheese factor though…

[Thorpacolypse]

Nice Tomorrow Woman. I have that JLA comic where she made her appearance against IT was it? Good to see she was not forgotten.

I love that Gorgon, too. I may have swipe that for a challenge for my gaming group IF we ever play again.

[MorningKnight]

I really liked her too. I wish she had been given a chance to do more.

[Tattooedman]

Her later one shot during the Girl Frenzy month helped a little bit with a small side adventure that was going on during her JLA story.

It showed a bit more of her chacter depth as she did the usual android "struggle with lack of humanity" as well as show her using some of her other powers that had been talked about in JLA.

[Bladewind]

Thanks for the props Thorp and MK.

Thorp, the Gorgon is yours to use as needed - let me know how it works if you do !

I think the device in her first appearance was actually referred to as IF, Implicate Field or somesuch.

I have to give credit to writeups.org - I took some inspiration from there for tW, despite the game system/ mecahnic difference.

Right now, I had an idea for the Crime Syndicate in a mainstream continuity - ie, instead of an alternate reality version of the heroes - and I'm statting some of it...
