Well, I figured I needed to eventually get into doing at least one member of the Bat-Family, so I decided to keep things simple and go with my favorite Nightwing. I grew up reading Nightwing in the New Titans series, so when he got his own solo series I was instantly on it. Probably one of my favorite series in a long, long time. I liked how all his various experiences in the world of DC had shaped him into the hero he had become and how despite everything he still ended up becoming a little bit something like Bruce.

Build wise, I like how Nightwing turned out as a PL 11 with just a some points over 165. I think it really shows how skilled he really is; I mean jeeze the guy basically spent his teenage years as the first Robin, his early to mid 20's in the Titans, bopped around as a free agent for the next few years until he arrived in Bludhaven. Nightwing is a really well rounded hero, even a bit better than Batman I'd say since Nightwing doesn't have as much of a problem working with a team like Batman seems to.

I decided to finally dust off my build of Robin back in the day off and finish it up and get it posted. Honestly there’s not much fluff, simply this build is my take on Tim during his time as a solo hero before he joined the Titans but wasn’t working as close with Batman.

I liked how Robin was shown to be growing as a hero during that time, while he didn’t know everything he does now, he sure got by pretty good. He’s got all the basic skills that any costumed adventurer needs as well as the equipment too, I’m happy I managed to get his original set of wheels the Redbird car figured in and keep him at PL 8.

Well I figured since I've already done Batman's wayward children I'd do the black sheep of the family, Jason Todd the Red Hood. To me Hood is more like a broken mirror of Nightwing, so while Dick is all about acrobatic grace and holding true to the Code of the Bat, Jason on the other hand is all about fighting like a bull in a china shop, using guns and killing.

I like how this build came in just a couple points under Nightwing's showing (hopefully) the difference of a few years of working the hero angle can make. Not too much to say on this build overall, simply change around some of the attributes, tone down the acrobatics, add more lethal weapons plus the ability to use them, add some rage feat and you've taken Nightwing and made him into the Red Hood.

This is my take on the lovely Black Canary. Now the I tried to do a build that showed her fighting skill as well as her powers in balance, which isn’t easy IMO. Both are normally the first & second things thought of when she’s brought up nowadays and to get both well represented in a single build can be tricky.

Especially with all the different ways to stat up the Sonic powers, the fighting is fairly easy. Those just burn through about half your points right off, toss in her street skills, detective ability, looks & charms and there goes about another quarter of your points and then you get to try to fit her powers in. Not easy.

But I’ve been sitting on this build for a bit now and figured I should get it put up and be done with it. I like how it came together overall, Canary can hold her own in a fight. Be it hand to hand or at range (with the Canary Cry) though it leaves her vulnerable to attacks right after she uses it. Plus I don’t think I left her lacking in any of her other areas either. She’s still a fairly well rounded character overall and is way useful on any team she’d be a part of, be it the JLA or with Team Arrow.

Always been a fan of GA, he’s like a more serious Hawkeye to me and there’s clearly not too many differences between the two but Ollie has more finesse feats that let him do more interesting shots than Clint does, Ollie is known for plugging up guns with arrows and pinning jacket sleeves to walls while Clint is happy using a net or bolo arrow to take them down. It all comes down to a sense of personal style and flair IMO.

Honestly I've been a fan of Roy for a few years now, since the Devon Grayson run of the series. I liked how Roy expanded on what he had learned from Ollie giving himself more options in a fight as well as setting himself apart from his mentor. I really like Roy nowadays that he has been written in a way that shows he has managed to get his act together in some major ways. It looks to me like someone decided to finally have a member of the first gen of sidekicks finally make it in the big time besides Wally or Dick (which don't get me wrong, I've got plenty of love for those two, but Roy is just the guy that has nothing but bad luck that you want to see win at some point).

I wanted this build to show the wideness of Roy's skills with ranged weapons as well as having developed his hand to hand skills. So Roy ends up coming in just 8 points over the normal limit, but take away the Attack Focus (melee) & Throwing Mastery and he is only 2 points over (if you're a real stickler for points lower his dexterity to 18).

This is probably one of my favorite 2nd string heroes, I mean I got into gaming the old fashion way. I started off playing D&D, so a hero that’s a time displaced knight swinging a sword to stop criminals who wears enchanted armor and rides a winged horse is gonna get my attention.

One of his more current incarnations was in the JLU as a speaking background characters in the last season. Personally I liked the Patriot Act episode where nothing but highly skilled heroes stand against the General on a rampage. Shining Knight stands his ground even though he realizes he has no real chance to seriously stop the General, the whole time carrying on the argument for why he’s fighting against the General.

Priceless.

So here’s Vigilante, a long-time hero from DC. This build is based more on his showings in the JLU cartoon than the comics but there are a couple things from the comics in the build that weren’t shown too much in the show.

Basically Vigilante is a great street level kind of hero, relying more on skills and feats to get by in a fight. He can work alone or as part of a group either way though honestly he’d probably be better off having some kind of group support in the long run. He’s kinda the guy that draws the attention of the bad guys so the others can do their thing uninterrupted.

One of the first League members to die, Vibe. Basically in the mainstream comics he was brought in as the “average guy in the superhero world” guy, coming from the mean streets of Detroit. Vibe left the gang he led to join the League, feeling that he needed to find a better use for his powers than what he had been doing. From what I’ve read in the JLU comics his background is the same, just he didn’t die from an attack by Professor Ivo.

Overall Vibe is the basic blaster, using the vibrations he generates to shatter objects or to put the hurt on villains. I added some alternate powers to give him some options in combat that were shown as one time power feats he used or made sense to me as extensions of his normal use of his powers.

The leader of the Thunderbolts, Citizen V. The short & simple idea behind this version is to take away the fact that he was actually Baron Zemo and treat the build as if he was actually what Zemo made him out to be; the skilled swordsman leader of the group. I thought it would be a slightly different way to do the character.

Basically it makes Citizen V into a weapon master build with some leader type feats for some flair. Pretty straight forward overall. ^_^

I’ll say this about Atlas, his powers are a serious pain to work out!!! Add to that the fact that his main power is the broken power of Growth and that just helps out soooo much. At this point in his career he is ionic powered, somewhat similar to Wonder Man plus he can use his energy to grow but even when at his normal size he is still superhumanly strong and tough. Now take that and add in the bonuses from growth and it can make for a small migraine pretty fast.

That said, Atlas packs one hellava wallop! He was shown as being able to hold his own against Thor, the Thing, Iron Man, and a few other heavy hitters at once when the T-Bolts had taken over Earth in issue 12. Granted he was fighting very dirty, and the other T-Bolts were throwing out cheap shots to help out as well, but still he did it.

As for his powers affecting his combat ability the biggest problem I faced was dealing with his unarmed bonus. Figuring out all of the different damages & defense bonuses depending on his height was slightly aggravating, but I think I managed to get it covered right. Now I know it was said a fair amount of times that Atlas could grow to something around 60 ft tall, but I don’t really remember seeing him go that big too often. So I thought 30 ft would cover it nicely, plus at that height it made my math somewhat easier to do and helped to keep Atlas within the limits I’m trying to stay with for these builds. I’d say the bigger heights could be gotten with Extra Effort or pushing of the power for the duration of some important fight/event.

I was somewhat surprised with Atlas’ point cost, coming in at just barely above a PL 8 total, but that simply shows how he is really a really focused kinda build on a certain idea (& with Atlas that means growing big and bashing the bad guys with his extra large hands!). So I like how Atlas came out overall. I’m still not too wild about the Growth power, but I like this build.

With M.A.C.H. 2 the main thing to remember is that he stays out of melee mostly and hits and moves. It's not that he can't do hand-to-hand, he would rather just stay out of it with the likes of Atlas and Moonstone around. He'd rather back them up with his teamwork & set-up feats and make use of his area attack to handle any goons & mooks the bad guys have got. He also needs to keep himself in the air to be the best he can be fighting, on the ground he is somewhat easier to handle and he knows it.

His craft skills and Inventor feat let him handle some of the technology the team deals with, but anything too high-tech (stuff from Mr. Fantanastic, Tony Stark and such) is better left to Techno.

Moonstone is basically a paragon-lite to me, I mean mid-level strength, flight, resistant to damage, plus she can play blaster as well. The other bonus is her ability to phase through matter, that helped her loads letting her act sometimes as a scout for the team.

Her biggest trick is her interactions skills, those let her play almost anyone at her whim allowing her to play leader to some and loyal follower to others.Or to cause her foe to doubt some aspect of themselves during a fight that leaves them open to an attack from the rest of the team.
