nd finally, we have the new Blue Beetle, at first decried for replacing ted so soon after his death, but within 5 issues proved he was a more than worthy successor.

as the pic indicates, this is a more streamlined beetle design based on Jamie's performance on Brave & the Bold

[MorningKnight]

Big love for Ted, and the new kid ain't so bad either.

a couple months back, i was considering statting the Squadron Supreme, but then Jabroniville beat me to it, and i didn't wish to steal his thunder. but, now that he's finished, i figured i could post the build i'd actually put some thought into.

for those unfamiliar with the character, Lady Lark started as a black canary pastiche. after the events of the series, she adopted the skylark name as well as the gravity wings of her fallen teammate, the blue eagle. and like the rest of the squadron, slowly drifted into comics limbo. the final ignonimity came when in the Squadron Supreme one-shot htat returned them to their homeworld, she, shape and arcanna were Put on a Bus, as the Squadron was returned to their roots as a JLA knockoff.

my own take on the cult classic franchise, based entirely on the original movie (okay, so some regen aspects were cribbed from other points). i was originally going with def. roll for his toughness, but keeping the duelling scene in mind (and how immortals are hardier stock), i went with protection instead for no-selling multiple rapier thrusts through the heart. Connor's sword is a device mostly for flavor (and a prospective Player has less worry about losing it)

[Kreuzritter]

Quite beautiful, wouldn't you say? Paid for with the lives of many. When you have the strength to take life for yourself... That is true wealth. I am free of desire. So long as I have this scenery to look upon. I need nothing more. Please, leave me be.

the 10th ranked assassin in No More Heroes, Death Metal is implied to be all-but retired before Travis tears through his palatial mansion, and thus unlike the other bosses, i had no problem giving him minions to suit his more sedentary lifestyle

[Arthur Eld]

Great Connor build, Kruez!
It'd be neat to see him fight Wolverine. "There can be only one!" versus "I'm the best there is at what I do,"

Cool No More Heroes stuff too. I love that game.

another Squadron supreme character, Nuke was their equivalent to then JLA-rookie firestorm. unfortunately for Nuke, he learned his steadily increasing powers gave his parents terminal cancer, and their deaths plus this knowledge drove him insane, before fellow squadder Dr. spectrum was forced to put him down

nuke's a pretty basic blaster, and this build reps him prior to his fateful power surges, plus reflecting his inexperience

the first of the famed Cobra Unit which is said to have all but won ww2 singele-handed, The Pain is at once both the lamest and most memorable, being the origin of the internet meme "I'm covered in Bees!", thanks o his appearances in "Last Days of Fox-Hound".

I wasn't able to produce Pain's more exotic tricks, but if used as a PC, he's perfectly set up for power stunting

Cobra's resident techie, Fury is a walking tank, plodding forward with cold hatred, before turning on the 'thrower and giving his foes a good dose of hot hatred.

just a personal tweak, i gave fury the means to hit single targets, using a quick shotgun like burst of white-hot fire

[Kreuzritter]

okay, as the Cobras demonstrate, I'm on something of a Metal Gear kick for the ime being. i've begn work on Fox-Hound but i don't know if I should stat them to PL8 or go whole hog to PL10 (Liquid'll be pl10, that's for certain)

anybody care to give their thoughts on the matter?

[Severance]

Personally I'd put Snake at PL 8, or maybe even PL 9 if he's at the top of his game. Otherwise I'd reserve the highest levels besides Liquid for guys like Raiden (future version anyway) and Grey Fox as PL 9.

hmm, i've already statted fox and raiden at pl10, so...

[Severance]

Oh...whoops

Well, then I still stand by my thought that Snake's a PL 9. Given that he could handle the other PL 8 characters pretty well, at least one on one. Then again that's also players behind the wheel so it's really up to you on that one.
