J-Mart II: Closed for 3E - Thanks for the Patronage!

[MorningKnight]

Comments: Gladiator is a long time DD rival who has undergone several changes over the years, from simple thug, to occasional mastermind, to mentally disturbed ally of DD to successful fashion designer. You’d think with those skills he have a better costume, but I digress. At he usually has those wicked spinning arm blades which I have loved ever since I was a kid.

In whatever incarnation, he is a serious threat to street level types with his fighting skills and toughness.

After seeing Melvin in a pinup in a Daredevil Annual reprint, I spent weeks with two Frisbee's rubber-banded to my wrists, slashing up bad guys with my "wrist saws."

Comments: I think Mr. Crane here is the last of the major Bat-villains that I had left to set up here at J-Mart II. I might have overpowered him a bit, so I really think I need to test him. With that 10 rank Fear Control, it's going to a hard save for the Gotham crowd. And once they are shaken, he can really lay a hurt on them. I probably fudged a bit with his Farm Implement Weaponry for Attack Specialization, but hey, pitchforks, scythes and sickles are in that realm, so I guess it's not too off.

I did so love his turn as a Sinestro Corps member during Blackest Night, it was hysterical. He really should continue in that for a while, especially since he is floundering without Batman to scare him.

DRAWBACKS:

Comments: Mister Negative here is a fairly new Spidey villain that they have handled very well. They haven’t made him overpowered and haven’t thrown him into every arc so he’s getting good run, but not overexposed. His “real” name is Martin Li (that’s not his real name either, he took it from a dead guy), a mild mannered, good natured humanitarian that ran the shelter that Aunt May worked at. However, he has a split personality (sorta) and turns into Mister Negative. It’s a very cool visual set up, with his white words in black word bubbles and his skin and clothes that look like a photo negative. Very nice.

His powers are the manipulation of the similar energy that Cloak and Dagger use, allowing him to charge up weapons with black electrical energy, grants him super strength (variably portrayed, hence the Boost) and gives him the ability to corrupt people, making them his thralls and turning them to their opposite mindset. When he corrupted Spider Man, it turned him into a vicious fighter, almost killing several villains and only snapping out of it when he went to kill Betty Brant. May has currently been sort of corrupted, where she has been a real..well…bitch. It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

They also seem to be setting up a Hood vs. Kingpin vs. Mister Negative gang war for control of the New York underworld, which could be pretty good. We’ll see how that goes.

In my setting, he is building his base in New York which is still run by The Kingpin and the animosity is growing. Hood focuses on super crime, but he could get involved in things if I have the time to work up a story.

Here are Li’s enforcer gang, the Inner Demons:

Comments: Mister Negative’s top henchmen. They have some regeneration, but it hasn't been clearly portrayed, so I think what I gave them is pretty accurate, but I'm not sure. And even though their weapons glow, they haven't shown to be any more effective than normal weaponry, so I built them as such.

Comments: Old Quentin Beck is another longtime Spidey foe who really, I just didn't care for in my youth but I am beginning to appreciate him in my old agedness. Illusion in game is a really useful power and after reading the new Mysterio stuff, which both Beck and the guy who could teleport and his name escapes me, I dig how it has been used by the modern writers.

With this build, Q can really work well in concert with some of Spidey's other rogues, setting them up and getting Spidey's guard down where he can be taken out.

Comments: Here is Sssssssstegron, one of my favorite Sssssssspider-Man villains. Mainly becausssssssse of the way he talkssssssssssss…

Plus, come on, I was kid when I started reading comics in the 70’s and Stegron controls dinosaurs and what little boy doesn’t love dinosaurs? One thing I didn’t add to this build are any devices that he usually has created to allow him to animate dinosaur bones or turn the bones into actual dinosaurs. I’m leaving that to his Inventor feat or GM discretion since the usage varies and he doesn’t always have them.

But even without that, he's super strong, has a wicked tail strike and can pretty much keep up with Spidey even without his dinosaur minions.

Comments: NORM!

Gotta love old Normy Osborn. Even before his awesome portrayal in the Spider Man movies by Willem Dafoe and his tour de force run as America's top security dog in Dark Reign, he was a great, complex, crazy but sometimes sympathetic character. I've always debated about whether Doc Oc or Green Goblin was Spidey's one "archnemesis" but I really think you have to go with Norm, simply for the "death of Gwen Stacy" factor. But in Dark Reign, Bendis really took him to a new level, putting him on the same level as Doctor Doom in the Marvel U and pretty much the equal of Lex Luthor in the DCU. He lied, manipulated, and spun things as well as anyone ever has despite the fact that everyone, even himself, knew he would eventually screw it all up.

But that only means we'll get the old Goblin back, and I am thrilled about that. I can't wait for him to start messing up Spidey's life again in the near future as their battles and story arcs are always great. Well, not counting the Clone Saga, that is...

In my setting, he did take over with HAMMER and had his Dark Reign and such, but instead of leading the SIEGE of Asgard, in a genius move amidst mounting bad press against him, stepped down from his role as leader of Superhuman Security, handed the reigns to a new SHIELD back to Nick Fury and arranged for full pardons for Captain America and Tony Stark. He also sold Stark Industries back to Stark, albeit at a hefty profit and after stealing LOTS of tech. In the year since, Norman Osborn’s Oscorp has exceeded Wayne Corp, Lex Corp and Stark Industries as the premier tech and weapons company in the US, using “modified” versions of Stark original designs and tech info stolen for him by Ghost from LexCorp and other sources. Osborn has been gathering tons of support in the Republican party for his stance on many issues and is being prepped as a dark horse presidential candidate in 2012.

But of course, the Goblin still flies at night...

And I'm sorry, he TOTALLY deserves the Drawback...

[MorningKnight]

And I keep thinking Batman/Goblin would be such the epic rivalry. Especially if Norm pulls out his bata--- razorbats.

I think it'd be the first time we'd ever hear Batman say "Oh, it's on like Donkey Kong."

[Emerald Flame]

Thorp...

I love your work with Green Goblin and I especially like the way you have woven the character into the world. I think it is rather interesting that you have put him in as a dark horse candidate for President.

Keep up the great work...

Comments: Tombstone has been an enforcer for the Kingpin, Hammerhead and others, but is main claim to fame is being a longtime tormentor to Robbie Robertson, the friend of Peter Parker’s and the conscience of J. Jonah Jameson. As noted in the pic, he has also rumbled with DD a few times as an associate of The Kingpin.

But in my setting, he is working for Mr. Negative, helping him build his power base in NYC and giving him some super powered muscle so that he can stand up to Kingpin and The Hood.

Comments: Hammerhead was always a pretty lame villain in the main Marvel U, but the Ultimate Hammerhead was handled pretty well and he really rocked in the Spectacular Spider Man show, so I was compelled to add him to my New York gangland setting. Initially he was just a goon who got a flat steel skull thanks to Jonas Harrow, but as time has gone on, he has gotten more upgrades and apparently most of his upper body has been reinforeced with steel thanks to Mr. Negative.

And actually, even though he is based in New York, he has been trolling around Bludhaven and Gotham just to see what the situation is and if it's worth making a move there...

Comments: I am trying to scale back the PLs on a lot of my builds and one that I thought should function at PL9 in my setting is Hellboy. This is a bit of an amalgam of his comic version and movie version where he is hard to hurt, a good scrapper, a top notch paranormal investigator but not immune to fire like he was in the movie. I know I have Kroenen at PL10 still, but I actually thought he was a better fighter but Red had more HP and his harder to hurt. Same goes for my upcoming Nuada build.

I plan on updating my Abe and Liz builds soon, but I also want to take a run at Johann Strauss and some others from the Hellboy-verse as I have the time.

A J-Mart Favorite item is hitting the shelves.


The world is getting weirder. Darker every single day. Things are spinning around faster and faster, and threatening to go completely awry. Falcons and falconers. The center cannot hold. But in my corner of the country, I'm trying to nail things down. I don't want to live in a world where the strong rule and the weak cower. I'd rather make a place where things are a little quieter. Where trolls stay the hell under their bridges and where elves don't come swooping out to snatch children from their cradles. Where vampires respect the limits, and where the faeries mind their p's and q's. My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your own risk. When things get strange, when what goes bump in the night flicks on the lights, when no one else can help you, give me a call. I'm in the book.

Comments: Every time I go over my Harry Dresden build, I feel like I get it closer and closer to where I want it. And every time, it gets a little cheaper, which is why I keep reviewing old builds in the first place, to tighten them up and to try to get them to work as closely to their “real” counterparts as possible. In Harry's case, it's tricky because magic in his setting is not the all powerful thing that it is when Dr. Strange or Zatanna are letting spells fly. I'm still not thrilled with that aspect of the build, but it gets closer everytime. Maybe a Sorcery array? Hmmm...

Anyway, if you don't know Harry, shame on you. The Dresden Files books are AWESOME. Here's a link to Wikipedia since I am pooped tonight, but rest assured, I'll have more personal opinions about Harry and his world as the thread goes on.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_dresden

In my setting, Harry has not yet gotten to the point where he has become a Warden of the White Council and he and Thomas have just found out about their backgrounds. And Mouse is still a puppy, hence no Sidekick for him yet.

But he does have Bob, so without further ado...

"Tequila?" I asked him, skeptically. "Are you sure on that one? I thought the base for a love potion was supposed to be champagne."
"Champagne, tequila, what's the difference, so long as it'll lower her inhibitions?" Bob said. "Uh. I'm thinking it's going to get us a, um, sleazier result."

Abilities 16 + Skills 14 (56 ranks) + Feats 4 + Powers 66 + Combat 0 + Saves 9 – Drawbacks -10 = 99 / 99

Comments: Harry’s trusty font of all mystical knowledge, Bob The Skull. His sarcasm and massive amounts of arcane knowledge make him one the highlights of the Dresden Files series. Bob is a being of intellect, apparently the greatest font of arcane knowledge in the world, devoid of most morals, but not evil in any way. He just sees things in a more pure light, really.

Bob is bound to his skull and leaving it withoug Harry's permission can kill him. But Harry lets him out from time to time and he usually possesses Harry's cat, Mister, and uses him to get around town and get information. But it's his one liners and dirty, dirty mind that make him a fan favorite.

Another J-Mart Favorite hits the new Aisle 4 shelves.


The Gun Kata. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

Comments: I was going to start a Ladies’ Night, but dang I didn’t run across Equilibrium and it made me have to stat up John Preston again. Not a lot of changes from my original build of him, but I did take him down a PL to be in line with my current PL structure and regardless, he's still a goon sweeping badass of epic proportions.

In my setting, Libria is a secluded European City State and they have just gone through the coup at the end of Equilibrium. Preston has fled to the US with his children and has received a personal invitation from Nick Fury to join SHIELD. He is still weighing his options, however.

JOHN PRESTON
FEATS: Ambidexterity, Assessment, Attack Specialization (1) [Firearms], Attack Specialization (1) [Swords], Combat Awareness, Combat Clarity, Defensive Roll (1), Dodge Focus (5), Elusive Target, Equipment (3), Improved Aim, Improved Critical (3) [Unarmed x2, Swords], Improved Disarm (1), Improved Initiative (2), Power Attack, Precise Shot (1), Quick Draw (1), Takedown Attack (2), Ultimate Effort (1) (Ultimate Aim), Uncanny Dodge (Visual)

I would think that Acrobatic Bluff might be appropriate, given some of the things he does (the shooting star press off the motorcycle in particular). Additionally, whatever Equipment he has up his sleeves would seem to provide Quickdraw 2 (I know he has Quickdraw already, but we see both his pistols and reload magazines come out of there).

Those are just my opinion, of course; Hong Kong/Hollywood physics are every bit as hard to codify as superpowers are...
