I like your take on the GL ring Thorp! Just a minor thing though unless you add an immunity to will saves or interaction skills your GL ring will be able to be targetted by bluffs, seductions, mental blasts and the like.

[Thorpacolypse]

Wow, I'm speechless from the amount of big names you were able to stat/revise in such a short time. Definitly a great work.

8 awesome builds, all in a single day! I am jealous of your incredible productivity.

Well, truth be told, most of them have been sitting on my hard drive for a while, I just got lucky and finished my honey-do's quickly yesterday when I took the afternoon off and I started posting. Don't worry, I'll be back to my usual inactivity in no time.

Hmmm...good point. I'll have to do some PP shifting. I'd hate for Poison Ivy to charm the ring off Guy when I get him reworked. Thanks for the catch!

Comments: Your friendly neighborhood Spider Man, slightly retooled and ready to rumble on Earth-217. Pete here actually hits his caps situationally, with his Web Shooters and defensively. He also can do so with the Defensive Strike feat which allows you to get a +4 to hit when an opponent misses you in melee, which he should be able to take advantage of a lot.

I really haven't thought a lot about how I want to him to roll on Earth-217 outside of his norm. He is still with MJ, though, and still has Aunt May and J. Jonah Jameson as his boss (not the mayor of New York, although I do think that's a funny angle), but other than that, I'm not sure whether I want him just solo, as part of Nightwing and Cage's team or what.

Clean Up 4/25/10: I didn't really change any of Spidey's abilities with this clean up, I just put a number of them into a Container to allow him to be dropped down considerably combat-wise when his Spider Sense is Nullified.

[Alexander]

Man, this Spider-Man build is wicked! I totally dig it. It has that "no-longer-a-teenager" spidey vibe that I dig so much. As for having him in a team... well, him and Nightwing would positively demolish anything in their way. Just the two of them, working together.

But I see him as more of a sometimes-part-of-a-team kind of guy. Alot of team-ups, not permanent membership or anything. But hey, that's just me

[Woodclaw]

It has that "no-longer-a-teenager" spidey vibe that I dig so much.

He likes his spidey as an angsty teen, I like him better as a young man burdened with troubles in and out of costume. It's just a matter of opinion. The difference is that Quesada has editorial powers, and I only have rage-on-the-internet powers. That's what you get when you're bitten by a radioactive fanboy.

[AmericanYeti]

I'm not sure whether I want him just solo, as part of Nightwing and Cage's team or what.

I like that angle. Spidey and Dick team up pretty naturally. Love the build of everyone's favorite webslinger, and the new thread overall. Keep it up, big guy.

[Thorpacolypse]

The J-Mart Favorite. Period.


But, I've learned that Dick wasn't like me. He didn't come from a world of privilege. He was a performer, gifted in that way. And while at the time, the transition from Robin to Nightwing was difficult for us both,...it was a day I had long prepared myself for because...

Dick was BORN to be in the center ring. - Batman

Comments: All that talk about Nightwing earlier got me cracking on said kick assery. So it was well established on my original thread that I have a HUGE man crush on Nightwing/Batman/original Boy Wonder. Grayson rocks. He’s a leader, a playa when he wants to be, a top shelf street level hero and proof that you can be an interesting character for 50 years if you're written right.

In main DC continuity, Dick is doing a fine job of playing the Bat role and that has been Grant Morrison’s best angle in the Batman and Robin book. He reminded him, and the readers, that Dick is playing the ROLE of Batman, something that as a natural performer (circus brat), he can do well, whereas he realized he couldn’t BE Batman because he knows he’s not. We know Bruce is Batman, we know he'll be Batman again, but we know that Gotham needs a Batman and Dick is man to fill that ROLE for time being.

As a build, I focused on making Dick a leader first and jack of all trades next. He has tons of skills and feats, but isn't a world beater in the fighting department. He is hard to hit and can goon sweep with the best of them, but against a super powered opponent, he'll struggle. But put him with a team and they'll be far better with him than without. With Combat Leader to pump up their Initiative, Leadership to bail them out, Set Up to...well, set them up and Master Plan to make it easier for everyone to hit, he's one of the best leaders I've built.

As Nightwing in the Thorpacoverse E-217, he is a major player in the superhero community overall, having surpassed his mentor in forging and maintaining relationships with heroes across the world. Bludhaven was NOT destroyed by Chemo and remains his base of operations. It has gotten more dangerous as of late due to the power vacuum created by the murder of Blockbuster by Tarantula (Catalina Flores). A number of new players have come to the booming town of Bludhaven and Nightwing finds himself busier than ever, leading the New Champions as well as trying to maintain order in Bludhaven. This has not gone unnoticed by his brother, Tim Drake-Wayne, who has assisted him on a couple of cases recently and has approached some other young crime fighters about making Bludhaven their new home…

Clean Up 4/15/10: Couple of tweaks to Dick. Trimmed a couple of PP from the first build that I will hold until I test him to see where they might come in handy.

Comments: Even though I generally think DC has done a better job with their top level villains, fairly new creations like The Hood are proof that Marvel may not have completely missed the boat. He's been getting a LOT of play lately in The Dark Reign, which I am disappointed in overall, but I love Parker's push. The think I like about him is that he is a pretty simple character. He's a real hood, straight and simple. Nothing fancy (well, outside of the newfound cosmic mystical powers granted by Dormammu initially and now Loki) just wants to build his gang, make cash and get respect.

I have more thoughts on him, but I gotta scoot at the moment...

My take on Parker for the Thorpacoverse is that he continues to build his C and D list villain empire, and since this is a shared universe, some DC, Top Cow, Wildstorm and movie villains will be joining up as well. He’s also looking at expanding his influence in other East Coast cities, using his superhuman crew to muscle in on the human mobster territory. This has put him at odds with The Kingpin, Mr. Negative, Black Mask and others. He has discovered that his powers come from Dormammu, but he is trying to fight using them because the more he does, the more Dormammu takes control of his spirit.

This is him in his Demon Form. I need to work on it a bit, but for the little test I have coming up, I was mainly wanting to use his main form, so I have time.

Comments: This is Parker in his demon form, granted by Dormammu. He doesn’t use it much because as noted, it has the Corrupting flaw from Mecha and Manga, meaning the more he uses it, the closer he comes to giving Dormammu total control, and he doesn’t want that.

Now that I finally have Parker up, I'm going to start posting members of his crew. 10 cookies to anyone who can name everyone in the pic correctly.

Comments: Doctor Jonas Harrow has gotten a serious push in the latest New Avengers arc, taking over the Hood’s crew for a while and laying a Smackdown on both the New Avengers and Dark Avengers with some upgraded S.P.I.N. tech that has taken away all their powers.

Around here, though, he's still under Parker, providing strong tech and medical support to the brainless lackeys of the crew.

Comments: Here is Madame Masque, an Iron Man foe and currently getting some good run as The Hood’s #2 in the New Avengers book. I didn't know a whole lot about her but from what I have read about her online and in the New Avengers books, PL9 seems about right.

Madame Masque is Whitney Frost, which is her adopted name because she is actually the daugher of Count Nefaria (who I also need to whip up sometime) who sent her away so she could live a good life instead of being mixed up with the Maggia. She eventually went into the family business anyway and got into it with Iron Man. She got scarred, went crazy, got the mask and has been a foe of his ever since. She faded for a while, then came back as a major character in The Hood's new super criminal empire (rumored to be his "hoochie mama" since he is actually married and I believe his wife is pregnant) and helped them discover the Skrull invasion.

She's mainly a criminal mastermind type with some marksman and fighting skills. I was going to add those Dreadnought robots she was supposed to have, but I haven't seen them during this run with The Hood so I left them off for now. I figure with her craft skills and a little GM help, if she needs some robot backup, she can get it.

Comments: One of the Punisher’s only recurring villains, Jigsaw. So good old Billy Russo here deserves some props for hanging around most of the Punisher run. I think he finally got offed recently, but I doubt that sticks. Most importantly, he is also part of The Hood's criminal empire so he's been getting some decent run in that, ergo, he gets a build here in the new setting since The Hood is my boy.

Normally, he is pretty much a high level thug, good in melee and with weapons but not great and not one to Master Plan his way out of a situation. But you don't survive years of battle with Frank Castle by being stupid. In addition to alliances with other mob bosses and gangs, he often calls in super powered help and when that's not available, he "acquire" an exo-skeleton that put in as an optional Device that you can add to his build which will push him up to PL10 and leave you a couple of pp to play with to line him out as you wish.

Comments: The Answer was a 70’s/80’s era Spidey foe that was buried for a while, but like a lot of D-listers has popped up again as part of The Hood’s gang. His bit is that he can always come up with THE ANSWER for his situation, so he gets a bit of Luck and other feats allowing him to be able to ANSWER the call of the situation. His big power is a Nemesis effect, allowing to come with whatever powers he needs to ANSWER his opponents.

I'm serious about that Question fight. I'm going to have to get cracking on Vic.
