There's times that I'm glad I can multi-task. I'd been working on some things for the old tabletop game I was running as well as doing the reposting of builds I've done in the last few days. Anyways my point is that in mthat game the PCs are going to be going on a little trip to some alternate realities & while coming up with worlds I realized something that would be fun would be a world full of anthropomorphized talking animals, complete with super heroes! Which led me to the point of coming up with some super powered animals types for that world. Then it dawned on me that I hadn't seen any builds for Captain Carrot & the Zoo Crew. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to use them but they were still some fun builds to work up. Sooooooo, here's the group's strong-pig Pig-Iron. Very little was shown to be able to scratch him, let alone hurt him. His strength was higher than Captain Carrot's but like a true Powerhouse Pig-Iron is ground based. The biggest thing to remember about Pig-Iron is that he transforms from a cute little piggy that only comes to about everyone else's knees. So when he gets his Growth power kicked in he goes from small size to Large.

Rubberduck is the goon sweeper of the Zoo Crew, his elongation lets him sneak around fairly well and allows him to get the drop on most of 'em pretty easy. He was also the faceduck of the group too, kinda. In his secret id he was a movie star and would make use of his fortune to help out by providing a base as well as other supplies for the Zoo Crew. Plus Rubberduck was the joker of the group too often making jokes in the vein of Blue Beetle if my memory serves me right. Lots of puns based on pop culture and with the slight twist of the animalized naming they used.by Tattooedman » Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:25 am
Yankee Poodle was basically the set up person for the Zoo Crew, her powers are built just for that. Basically a very focused telekinetic that had to use one or the other of her arms to get a certain effect. Though she could combine the blasts from both hands for some decent damage but she tended to keep that saved for an absolute last shot kinda deal. Most of the time Poodle would use her trip effect on goons to set them up for the other members to finish off, or she would step between her friends and deflect attacks. Unfortunatly though my memory is lacking as to how her personality was written though there were some instants of tension with her fellow teammate Alley-Cat Abera. Though it was mostly over the affections of Captain Carrot.

Adam Strange has always struck me as a kind of throwback to the pulp era, especially with the whole John Carter stories. I just see Adam as the comic book retelling of Carter honestly, but he’s still cool to me in that old skool kinda way. Basically Adam Strange is a skill & feat king that operates in space, with some basic, cool gear. Between the rocket pack, the blaster pistol and his suit he’s equal to most PL 10’s though I felt he did deserve a few extra points since he’s been around for so long and hasn’t been killed once. I know that Adam got some play during the whole 52 stories but honestly I haven’t read them but at this point from what I got from Wikipedia he got a decent upgrade on his gear and some clone eyes that allow him to see the EM spectrum. Not that this build reflects any of that, but it’s nice to know Adam still gets some love from DC. I’ll always like the older version with the classic Silver Age look and gear, but that’s just me.by Tattooedman » Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:35 am
I liked how Despero was shown in JLU as a world dictator with ambitions to expand his religion to other worlds. On top of that he was powerful enough to take on GL, Hawkgirl as well as a few other members of the GL Corps. That’s pretty tough customer honestly! So I figured that I should do Despero as a PL 12 though I’m sticking with my other JLU builds as I tried to keep the attack/damage & defense/toughness within the PL but the point total is more in line with covering the powers he showed to have in his appearance.by Tattooedman » Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:36 am
Cheshire is one of DC's longer running villains, having been around since the Titains dropped the teen from their name. Most of the time when she showed up it was in their books, keeping her strongly intertwined within their setting but always showing her to be highly skilled enough to challenge the entire team on her own with only a handful of well-trained mooks to back her up. Her biggest claims to fame are her realtionship with her baby daddy, Red Arrow & her vast knowledge & skill in creating & using poisons & toxins of all kinds. When dealing with Cheshire you better be sure to have your Fortitude roll ready to go, cause you will need it! I like how in the last few years she has been show to have been becoming more active in the world of super criminals. Part of the Secret Six plus working with Luthor's Society as a double agent as well as continuing with her independent assassin work. Cheshire is all about being able to make use of situations caused by her to take on heroes. She's shown to be a good planner, and being able to often times correctly figure out how her enemies will react to a situation and to plan accordingly. So that was the goal of this build, leaving enough play room for someone to use her in that way and I think I managed to accomplish that so I’m happy with this build.by Tattooedman » Mon Feb 28, 2011 9:38 am
Just another stop in my tours of the DC & Marvel space settings basically before I start working on some builds of 4th World characters. This time it’s one of the lead operatives of the Darkstars, Ferrin Colos the Darkstar of Earth. Nothing to take too lightly really, Ferrin used to be a member of the GL Corps way back when but quit over the rules the Guardians put on the members. He felt that the Corps should have been harsher and quicker to react to criminal acts done in their sectors. The leaders of the Darkstars quickly picked Ferrin up and equipped him and turned him loose as a result, and he soon became known as one of the tougher law enforcers in the area. That’s about all I really know about Ferrin really, I only read a few issues of the Darkstars and a few appearances Ferris had during Kyle’s time as the lone ring slinger. From what I got overall though is that Ferris is a skilled investigator who knows how to work a suspect plus he’s driven, not Batman levels mind you, but still he can get pretty single minded when he gets invested in a case.by Tattooedman » Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:45 am
I thought that Black Bolt would fit pretty well into a PL 12, well so much for that idea. Maybe I'm over thinking this build, cause I'm not too wild about his total cost but I can't figure out what I did that doesn't fit right now. I do like the way his powers worked out I'm just not too happy with the cost at all. It can't be helped though, Black Bolt comes across as a beast with all of his powers and the levels that they're made out to be. I'll give it a few days and see what I can work out by then. Basically Black Bolt is the ultimate big gun for the Inhumans to pull out, he's the one that can level whole cities with barely any effort. On top of that he's the king of the Inhumans, so he has an entire culture depending on him to get them through the mishaps of the times. So alot of his skills and feats are based on that aspect alone. It seems that despite his inability to speak, due to the nature of his powers, Black Bolt is one of the most loved and respected kings there has been. Despite the damages he caused when he was younger and his powers were less controlable and the various crimes done by his brother Maximus. I have managed to stay somewhat informed about the goings on in Marvel in the last year and the whole Secret Invasion seems slightly interesting especially with Black Bolt being shown to have been one of the longer replaced people in Marvel. Which puts alot of the things that Black Bolt has done in question and how those choices will affect the Inhumans.by Tattooedman » Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:46 am
Crystal is probably the most recognized member of the Inhumans, mainly due to her time spent as part of the Fantastic Four and then the Avengers. Both times she did long stays on both teams and is respected within the hero community, since she has shown she can handle herself under stress. Because of her long stretches of time spent outside of Attilan, I figured that Crystal has built up a better immune system than other Inhumans since I’ve never really read anything about her having to deal with the problems aside from what she suffered from at the end of her time in the FF. So I made it less frequent a problem for her when compaired to the other members of the Royal Family. Crystal has seemed to be the rebellious child of the bunch, as she has been the one who does all the things that makes life rough for the Inhumans. She brought Johnny Storm to Attilan, she married Quicksilver and had a child that they didn’t subject to the Terrigen Mist, then she joined the Avengers, then pushed for Quicksilver to come back into Attilan which allowed him to steal Terrigen Mist for his own use and I’m sure the list goes on.by Tattooedman » Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:47 am
Triton is an oddity among the other Inhumans to me, while he’s clearly a large part of their lives he must be sure to immerse himself in a body of water for much of his time due to his mutation by Terrigen Mist. Which tends to limit the amount of time he can interact with the others aside from them coming to see him, kinda like Abe Sapien in Hellboy. I recall times he would be sent to Earth as a scout or to swim in the ocean’s for some change of pace since he would get lonely in Attilan. Which basically meant he would show up in Namor’s books from time to time, heck he even saved Namorita and the Warriors one time. Well he actually took care of Nita while she recovered and then the rest of the Inhumans teamed up with the Warriors but that’s a whole other story.by Tattooedman » Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:48 am
The Queen of the Inhumans and wife of Black Bolt, Medusa. She started off in comics as a member of the Frightful Four, but was the one responsible for the trend of the 4th member betraying them to the Fantastic Four. The rest of the time Medusa has stayed in Attilan with her family only being really seen when their home was threatened in some serious way. Well there was the time when she took Invisible Woman’s spot in the FF while she was on a personal leave, but she managed to get the Richards to work out their problems and she soon returned home.by Tattooedman » Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:49 am
The heavy muscle of the Inhumans, well more like the more aggressive member of the Royal Family, Gorgon. While Black Bolt is more powerful physically, Gorgon is more willing to get his hands dirty so that Black Bolt doesn’t have to bother with it himself. Gorgon was also a teacher in Attilan, working with young Inhumans to gain understanding and control over their new abilities they have gained from being exposed to the Mists. Like most of the other members of the Royal Family Gorgon has stayed in Attilan rarely leaving unless there is a huge threat to the Inhumans as a whole.by Tattooedman » Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:50 am
Karnak is the one member of the Inhumans that is the most normal, well as normal as they get with the mutating of their young that they do. Instead Karnak was raised in the Tower of Wisdom and trained in the physical & mental disciplines the priests practiced. During the course of those teachings Karnak learned how to see the weak points of anything he looked at as well as their unique martial skills, which combined together allow Karnak to break items that would normally be considered to be almost unbreakable. Karnak has pretty much stayed at Attilan ever since only coming out when their home was threatened only. So he and the other Inhumans were seen mainly in the company of the members of the Fantastic Four.Users browsing this forum: Phrozen and 4 guests
