Brimstone Love seemed to me to be X-Men 2099’s answer to Mr. Sinister and Apocalypse. Big time behind the scenes manipulator of people who has the power to back up his big talking. Basically when the X-Team finally went after him and the Theater of Pain it took the whole team, even the members who had been out on their own for awhile plus a couple others who just happened to show up at the right time to bust up the Theater on their own. Even then they almost didn’t pull it off until X’ian (whose evil personality was in control at the time) revealed his plan to take out Brimstone on his own and take over the Theater for himself.

After that Brimstone wasn’t seen again, but he was talked about some which gave me the idea they were going to bring him back again but then the end of the 2099 world came about so it was pretty much dropped like a hot potato and nothing else was said about him. As for his powers, Brimstone is a monster. Able to unleash fire & magma blasts and cover his body in flames as well added to his superhuman strength and constitution he is able to hold himself well in hand-to-hand. On top of all that his skin is tough enough to shrug off most attacks that can be thrown at him, a real monster that should take a really good use of Master Plan and some other sneaky tricks for the players to come up with to beat.

I liked Agent Liberty, despite his Iron Age-ness, he was a little too willing to break out the plasma pistols and the arm blades against normal foes. But his skill and feat monkey-ness are what make me like him, I can’t help it that’s one of the types of characters that just get my interest.


He was full of all kinds of anger against how things in America were done at the time and wasn’t afraid to share his thoughts on what should be fixed. Though he was willing to admit that it would take loads of work to make the changes needed to make things right. In the end though Agent Liberty walked away from it all when he discovered that his mentor in the CIA was the leader of his biggest foes becoming disheartened and losing faith in his misson.

But he did make a return here recently when the Crisis happened, taking part in the Fight for Metropolis. Afterwards he was dealing with the arriving Kryptonians in Metropolis when he discovered some things that weren’t on the up & up. I don’t want to ruin it for anyone but Agent Liberty went down trying to discover some hidden agenda that would have threatened the people of Metropolis. Overall Agent Liberty was a pretty well rounded character for a gear equipped hero with a secret agent skill set. I think the character idea may hopefully come back here soon since the government took custody of the suit & equipment but who knows?

An old-school villain from way back when the Angle Man was one of the first Wonder Woman bad guys I saw in comics. Plus he was funny to boot, I mean look at that outfit! He wanted you to take him serious? Really?!? Aaahhh, the 70s, where a goofy outfit and a gimmick makes you a threat.

Though his weapon, the Angler, gave him some serious options in a fight between the penetrating blast, the teleport attack, and the dimensional & time movement he can do with it. Plus Angle Man had made it a point to educate himself in the various uses of his weapon of choice, so he could actually hold his own against the likes of Wonder Woman. Just another one of the random, little seen crooks of DC who has some possibilities in the modern DC Universe. Besides, I felt the urge to do some more mooks & jobber types again after wondering through the Lost In Space theme I did for a few weeks.

Notes: Well Immortus couldn‘t be a general without some troops to do his dirty work now could he? So I “borrowed“ the idea of robotic period-themed minions from the Batman: Brave & the Bold comics my daughter gets (well I buy them for her but anyways). I‘ve seen him use Samurai, Roman themes just to name a few, so dress them up however you want. They’ll still be the same beatable minions no matter how fancy you dress them.

A long time foe of the Doom Patrol and actually the reason the group was formed, General Immortus is one of those almost classic behind the scenes villains aside from his need to grandstand.

Most of the time he’ll plot and such and run most of the show from his newest hidden base but when it comes time for the big showdown he’s right in the thick of it, leading his latest crop of robot soldiers against whoever it is he’s after. Most of the time it relates to his desire to recreate his immortality serum as he long ago lost the formula for it and he’s spent the last few decades trying to get it back. He’s not much of a threat physically because of his age, but with his blaster and saber he’s kinda a minor threat but not too much really. It’s the minions that can get a little problematic if a team of heroes can’t take them out, though they’re low enough in level to mostly being more of an annoyance than anything else but it can happen if they get some good rolls and their Teamwork feat.

Here’s my take on how Jack Flag is nowadays, with his last showing in GoG. At the abandoned Negative Zone Prison 42, Jack here became one of the leaders of the inmates that were fighting against the army of Blastaar who wants the portal to Earth.

To me Jack was a PL 8 before his infamous fight against the T-Bolts and his time at the prison has forced him to develop new skills to survive there between the other inmates & Blastaar's troops. Jack now has some nifty interaction skills that let him deal with people better, in fights & out of them as well as some new fighting techniques since he was in a wheelchair his entire time there.

Since Jack has shown some skill with a blaster while holding off the troops of Blastaar, I've included some ranged fighting ability as well as a blaster in his equipment now that he's part of the crew. Plus since he's hooked up with the GoG now since he'd still be a criminal on Earth their medics have repaired the damage done to his spine so he's no longer bound to his chair.

Now I’ve never read anything with this Lionheart in it, but I’ve read the wiki about her. So that should cover it. Anyways, she started off as the replacement Captain Britain and joined the Avengers right before the Disassembled event but never really fit in with the team it seems. She was bitter and angry over how she gained her powers and was unable to see her kids for some really weakly explained reason.

Anyways Lionheart left the team and ended up fighting against the new Excalibur team but at the end she joined them and I think is now working for the British Government as part of the team. Lionheart is pretty much a paragon, super strong, tough and flies around either blasting things or hitting them with the Sword of Might. I do like how she has to choose between using the Sword for attacking or defending, it does help her do some decent damage but in doing that she gives up on her ability to soak damage.

Well I’m finding out that stating the Wildstorm characters ends up breaking the PL 10/150 pts rule just a little bit. Especially when you’re doing someone like Backlash. This is a guy who has been around for a long, long time. So he has a fair amount of skills at a higher rank, as well as being known for being one of the best hand-to-hand fighters in Wildstorm and the sneakest. This is the guy that can get the drop on the likes of Grifter and the gang from StormWatch, heck he even trained most of them in how to fight and survive in the field!

Backlash is more about having a good combat skill with a set of powers, relying more on his know-how than the power he has at his disposal. That said he could kick the crap outta most foes, even if he had to fight a little bit dirty to win. But hey, he won and that’s what matters at the end of the day, at least that was what he said. I mainly based this off what I read of Backlash during his time as leader of Wild Core, so I don’t know much about his history aside from what I’ve read in, (surprise, surprise) Wikipedia. So I’ll just leave it at that.

I like Backlash's costume, it matches his hair.

Still trying to work through my Wildstorm builds, here’s a member of WildCore, Brawl. Basically he is a super-brick. There wasn’t much that could affect him physically, he would take Knockback if the hit was hard enough but other than that…. Well he would just stand there after getting hit and tell his opponent how they needed to surrender.

Then his team was killed. He joined WildCore just so he could get his revenge on the aliens that did it. Unfortunately I have no idea if he ever got it, since that was around the time I fell out of my comic collecting due to money issues. Blasted responsibilities.

Overall I like Brawl. Straight forward & simple when all is said and done, he is all about hitting hard and being able to take a shot or 3 or doing some serious grappling. He can lend a hand to a teammate as well, also he can fill in as a secondary leader if push comes to shove, or simply play as the wall for a teammate to hide behind while they blast at the bad guys. Anything else and Brawl is kinda lost. Put him against a mental powered foe & unless he can get ahold of them in the first round and he will get his mind fried!! Build-wise Brawl seemed to fit into a PL 9 and just barely. Again like most of the characters of Wildstorm, not much really said aside from a few certain skills and their powers defined and whatever feats help them in those areas. I like doing these builds as it’s something of a challenge, but after a couple of them I start to get tired of making educated guess’. I like to try and keep my builds as close to what I’ve read and some of these Wildstorm builds have worn me out trying to make sure I’ve gotten everything reasonable for them. Anyways, end of rant. (sorry)

Wow! I’m finding out that stating members of the Kherubims that have been on Earth are gonna cost somewhere around 200 points or so. It all comes down to the mountains of skills & feats that they have built up over their hundreds of years of living on the planet. I actually really like Ferrian, in combat he is something of a melee expert able to hold his own against the likes of Backlash and Zealot if they don’t go all out on him. So against “normal” foes that would be faced Ferrian seems to be very relaxed during a fight, something like the aged master gauging the student during a sparring session. Then of course once he’s decided enough is enough he promptly knocks them on their hind-ends.

Ferrian was more the type to be happy ready mounds of dusty old tomes on any given number of subjects. He joined WildCore only to help out Backlash due of a sense of responsibility owed to him. His various knowledge & people skills were of a good use to the team, he seemed to know a little bit of something about just about anything. He also seemed to be able to talk an Eskimo into buying a ice maker if he wanted to. I played with the Challenge Feat a bit more with this build. I like out those work, they really helped to show some of the things that Ferrian is able to do.

What little I know about Styrian I’ve read from WildCore Styrian was always more of a background filler who happened to go on missions sometimes. His powers were very basically described, and he showed very little skills aside from being a fairly decent beginning face-man. I gave Styrian some feats that allows him to help out the other members of WildCore in a fight and deal with alien mook-troopers (Set-Up/Takedown Attack/Teamwork), mainly since that was what I saw him do in the series.

To be honest I’m surprised (happily) that his costs came out to what it is with what little I know of him. He’s still a few points under the PL limits, which I’m not happy with but I just don’t like branching out and putting extra stuff in to just fill empty points. But that’s just how I am about my builds though.

So here’s Taboo, now what’s bad is I remember her from Backlash’s series & WildCore, but nothing super specific about her powers really. I had to look her up on a wiki, and I wasn’t too sure about some of the powers it listed but I kept the majority of them since I didn’t read all of the WildCore series. So I’m pretty happy with build overall, but I feel like I’m missing something but at the moment I can’t think of it.

Vigor was one of what I call the “fringe” members of Wildcore, while he was a full member he was only shown about every 3 issues or so. As a result there isn’t too much information about what kind of powers he really has, his main thing was he didn’t need to sleep and could go for hours on end without any sign of tiring. His only other shown trick was the jewel he would wear that was able to fire blasts of energy that seemed to be able to cut through almost anything.

Other than that he was shown as being a well-rounded special operative kinda guy skill-wise. It was said that he had been a paleontologist before he joined the team, but nothing was done with it really that I saw. Vigor is part of a group of heroes in Wildstorm that I call “combat PL 10s”, basically meaning that as far as fighting goes they fill out PL 10 easy, but are lacking in all other areas and tend to only cost around a PL 8 normally. That’s mostly because (IMHO) that while needed for team fights and such nothing else was really done with them to establish them more as a more tangible character and they were more of a space filler in the series as most of the focus was only on a few particular characters that the series was based around. Wildcore seemed to me to be that kind of series unfortunately, most of the stories seemed to be about Backlash, Taboo & Crimson with everyone else there for minor bits for them to interact with.

All my comments are going to be short on all the members of Wetworks, I haven't read the series. Only a few appearances in other titles and cross overs. So with that in mind........Dane was originally a member of Team 7 who was kept to lead the new team that replaced them. It was said that he was an expert in combat be it hand to hand or group fire-fighting.

Claymore was the demolitions expert for the team I believe, though he might have shared that job with Jester.
