One of the universe’s oddest side-kicks I’ve seen, Pip the Troll. He’s mostly known for his working with Adam Warlock before his big death and as part of the Infinity Watch. When Adam made Pip’s new body he enhanced it so that Pip was more sturdy physically than he had been the first time around. It had been said he was somewhere around Spider-Man’s strength level but I never really saw it, but I made sure to include it as part of his build. At least in weight lifting ability mostly as I didn’t see him lift any kind of huge amount of weight regularly.

Pip’s other biggest trick was his use of the Space Gem to become a skillful teleporte . He would often use it to get out of the way or to do a sudden sneak attack, from behind with some randomly taken weapon that was huge from god only knows where. Not that it seemed to work that much, but then he did do it against the likes of Drax, the Hulk, the Thing, Maxam and others who were tough enough to take the shot. Otherwise Pip is simply the best helper in a fight, using his interaction skills to distract a foe so someone else could take a good shot. Well there is the bit where he does tend to know all kinds of various information about things going on all about the universe. I have no idea how he pulls that off given his poor hygiene and bad manners, but I think it has more to do with people simply overlooking him and forgetting he’s below eye level while they are talking with someone else or he has some really good blackmail on various people who at one time or another did some kind of space pub crawling with him.

Pip is really overpriced but that mostly comes from his having ownership of the Space Gem in this build. Take it away and he becomes fairly under-pointed which fits him fairly well. He’s mostly the helper who lends just that little bit of help at just the right moment in a fight or gives the good joke at the serious moment.

Star Thief showed up in the original New Warriors series trying to keep space exploration grounded. He and his family had been the victims of an accident with a space weapon misfiring and he was the only survivor and was highly pissed off because of it.

He ended up going to the moon with the Warriors and teaming up with them and the Royal Family to stop a threat to the Inhumans from one of the various industrial types who wanted to clear out their then home (the Blue Area of the Moon) for his company to get the rights too for their own use. Afterwards he was granted permission to live with the Inhumans as a member of their people.

Haven’t really seen or heard much about him since and I was hoping to see him during the War of Kings but that doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen by this point. Oh well, maybe the next space war involving the Inhumans.

One of the more powerful androids in comics (IMO), the Air-Walker. Created to replace the original Air-Walker, who was a Herald of Galactus, after he was killed by a race afraid of Galactus coming to their world. Galactus sent the Air-Walker droid to Earth to bring the Silver Surfer back into service. So as a result he faced off against the Fantastic Four and got beaten fairly quick. Following that his self-repairing circuits patched him up and Air-Walker went against Thor of all people. That being said Thor trashed him hard and fast by throwing Mjolnir through his chest and took out the part of his system that was responsible for repairing all damages done to him.

For the longest time the Air-Walker droid was laid to rest in space by his old friend the Firelord (who had a close friend to the original Air-Walker before his transformation by Galactus). Then the rogue Herald Morg went on a rampage and several of Galactus’ old Heralds (Silver Surfer, Firelord, and Nova) gathered to stop him, they realized they needed more help and Firelord repaired the damage done to the Air-Walker droid and reactivated it.

After the defeat of Morg, Firelord and Air-Walker roamed the galaxies together both working for Galactus as Heralds. Firelord tried to restore the Air-Walker’s humanity thinking that part of his essence was held within the android. I’ve not really heard anything about him since then and given that was at least 7 or so years ago I’m sure he was scrapped by now. But he could be one hell’va challenge for a group of players working for Galactus again or something along those lines.

Honestly, who did you think I was gonna do for the big #500 build? Good old Abel Tarrant, the original Tattooed Man, was cool enough for me the first time around so why not the second?

Basically an old school villain who can cause his tattoos to come to a semblance of life and do his bidding. Due to the chemical used in their making the tattoos are immune to the effects of Green Lantern rings. Which made TM something of a challenge for Hal to deal with, and often showed us how creative Hal could be in the various ways he could use his ring. Unfortunately though TM was one of the classic Silver Age villains who was soon dropped due to his serious 4 color style (even I have some problems with the whole sailor on leave look. Though it does make an odd kinda sense given when he was made) and has been killed and then got better and milled around whenever a known name criminal was needed that could be made to look like a horse’s hind end.

There have also been a couple successors though the means for how their tattoos are animated are different the idea is still the same. Plus with all the really great artists that I’ve seen lately I’m loving all the details that are given to those pretty tattoos.

Dr. Light got reworked by DC back into a serious villain again, he’s not someone to mess around with. He’s mean nasty & he knows exactly what he can and can’t do with his powers plus he’s smart enough to come up with a couple new ways on the fly.

My take on him came in a few points under 150 so I may take another look at some of his feats & skills to see if maybe I could add something else but overall I like how he came out here. Though he came across to me in the comics as more of a thug kinda guy that knew loads about a particular area of science and that was it, maybe it was just a bad attitude or it maybe it came from his being in the criminal setting for too long. Who knows? All I know is that I like how he was handled before the Specter snuffed him out.

The techie for the Fearsome Five, Gizmo. He can make weapons from anything, anything! Blasters from hairdryers, freezing snare devices from fire fighting supplies, you name it and between his Inventor & Improvised Tools feats Gizmo can build it!

Otherwise he's this freakishly small, funny head shaped, Fu-Manchu wearing, flying nutcase. He's full of bad one-liners and air based attacks, put him on the ground & his defense goes down, he's that used to being in the air.

Like most of the other members of the Fearsome Five Gizmo has the potential to stimulate any power (like Jinx & Shimmer). That gives them a serious power option that many teams don't have, what sinks them is the fact that they tend to agrue with each other and not work together too well. A team that can make use of good teamworking skills can kick the crap outta them.

Jinx could be considered one of the more powerful members of the Fearsome Five, though there's not a lot of information on her that I've been able to find yet. I've even got her first appearance no less, but they're pretty light on her background aside from her being a criminal from another country that can manipulate elemental magic. One of the best ways to beat Jinx is to get her off of the ground and keep her there somehow, since if she loses contact with the ground she can't use her magic.

Don't ask me why, I just repeat the way they were wrote. Anyways, since I couldn't find too much info Jinx comes in under pointed, though I've found that villains being underpointed is somewhat normal.

I tried too get Mammoth close to point level but his being a Powerhouse (since most of their powers are simple & cheap) and his really limited skills made it impossible.

That said Mammoth isn't someone to take too lightly in a fight, cause if he connects...... well someone will just have to mail you your teeth in whatever state you land in. Plus he's tough to put down, so be ready to come up with some original ideas on the fly to take him out of the fight, cause simply beating on him is gonna take forever.

Man! I tried to get Shimmer close to the 150 limit, but I just couldn't do it! While her transmuting power is strong as can be (being able to turn anything into anything she can think of) it just doesn't cover the other areas she's lacking in.

Those missing parts are what make her a lousy team player, even with her having a couple feats that are for nothing but teamworking. Her lacking of other feats not to mention skills, make her pretty limited in many ways. Added to that is the limited range of her area of effect (only 3 feet) and she really needs to have someone to back her up or come up with a surprising attack to be really effective.

Another telepath/telekinetic, this time from DC. Psimon from the Fearsome Five, even though most of the time they only had 4 members……ah the joys of super villain math. Like most other mentalist types, Psimon comes in seriously under pointed since most of his powers are fairly cheap and based more on Psimon’s ability to actually see his targets more than be able to actually hit them.

Considering how powerful he actually is I have to wonder why Psimon really bothered with joining a team. But in the end I guess it all came down to his need for wanting to lord over others and the writer wanting to show that the Titans actually had some tough foes to fight.

Meet another one of Marvel’s lamer, mooks villains the Boar. He’s only shown up once so far & in that impressive showing he got his rear-end spanked by both Spider-Man & Beta-Ray Bill. Plus they weren't even working together, they just both were fighting him. Long story, really even for this foot note in Marvel history.

Not too good really. Boar comes across like a kid whose played GTA just a little toooo much maybe, quoting lines from the game while he fought. He’s the kind of crook that’ll blame innocent bystanders for his failures, like the guy that made him wreck his getaway car and knocked him into a wall for the trouble. More or less this is the kind of crook you’d use just to give your players something of a minor challenge and some laughs at the same time. They should have no problem handling this guy, no problem.

The granddaddy of most android characters, Jim Hammond the original Human Torch.

He’s not like most android characters nowadays, course most of that comes from the fact he’s been operating on & off since WW2. So he’s got a decent amount of experience under his synthetic belt so to speak. Where most android characters are dealing with “being human” and odd emotional problems like “empathy” and “romance”, Jim has already dealt with it and moved on. He knows he’s not human and has accepted it but is secure enough to know that he is a unique being himself and works to take care of himself just like anyone else would. He’s so comfortable with his artificial nature and dealt with all that normal android baggage by this point that it’s other people that forget he’s an android until he gets cut in half and keeps fighting and talking. Or the villain takes control of him via some high tech means because he’s an android.


I built Jim as a over-pointed PL 11 mostly because of all the different times he’s been deactivated for long stretches of time. But really he’s also the original fire manipulator for Marvel and he’s gonna have some tricks so while he doesn’t have tons of alternate powers on his fire control array his ranks of the Luck feat as well as any other chips he may have can easily go towards power stunts that he knows will work for any given situation. I mean this guy’s been a member of the Invaders, the All-Winner’s Squad, the Avengers, and a couple other teams I’m skipping over. He’s pretty much seen it or done it one way or another.

Wow, I didn't really think I'd be able to fit the Leader into a PL 8. Well more honestly I didn't think I'd be able to keep him at a PL 8 cost with all his big gear & minions. But somehow I managed to do it dead on the nose with my first draft, lucky me!!

The Leader is what I like to consider a "true" Mastermind. That is he has some kind of crazy sounding, yet comic-book sciency plausible enough plan to RULE THE WORLD!! Cool ain't he? That and he doesn't tend to do the whole "fighting off the heroes" deal when they finally get to him after fighting a huge horde of minions. Leader will fold like a cheap suit in a fight against Willie Lumpkin, let alone the likes of the Hulk and other possible heroic-types.

Granted though, the Leader does have a couple of decent tricks up his funny colored sleeve that help him stay a couple steps ahead of the heroes while he's putting everything together as well as some more tricks to keep the heroes at bay while he puts the final touches on his master plan.
