GAZbuild : Titania, Wrecking Crew, Mr. Hyde, Klaw, Griffin

[Gazman]

Hey I just wanted to stop in and tell you that you're doing an awesome job here. I've been enjoying your builds immensely and I particularly like your playable Hank Pym. I was very happy with his portrayal in the Avenger's cartoon and your build really seems to channel that. Keep up the good work!

Hey, luke. Thanks for the high praise. I'm really glad that you're enjoying what I made. I gotta say I'm kinda proud of that Pym build myself and I'll try and keep it going.

I really enjoyed your builds. Just got through reading this thread. I am glad to see Mr Fantastic at PL 14. He can reach those caps with inventions that is for sure. And the reaction damage on Luke Cage is nice. You don't see that in too many builds. I admit I always miss the grapple part for PL but I think Mr Fantastic does not end up at PL 11 for grappling. 5(Ag) + 4(Fgt) + 8(Elog)=17/2-8.5. Unless I am missing something. I like the skill imaginaut for the FF too. Maybe Magneto should have a force field that affects others too. Though he could always power stunt that I guess. Looking forward to more of your builds.

Hi, scc. Thanks for the read through and endorsement. I can't properly take credit for the Ouch! effect on my Cage build. I saw the power on Taliesin's Cage and just thought it was the perfect unique touch to distinguish Cage's protection power from Thing's or Colossus's. I've seen lots of bullets and melee weapons smash against Luke and I'm sure it would do something similar to a human fist.

The remaining 2.5 is his 5 ranks of unarmed close combat. I know that grab attacks and unarmed attacks aren't technically the same, but the fast grab advantage really renders it moot. If he can punch AND grab on the same attack there's no reason he can't just grab at the same accuracy. I love the skill imaginaut because I love 3e's expertise skill.

Magneto totally does group force fields. And if/when I redo/touch-up his build they'll probably get a spot in his array. But for now, I'm gonna say that it works as a stunt fueled by his Holocaust Survivor, Relationship, or Responsibility complication. Magneto can consider his personal goals and survival above almost all else.

Power Points
Abilities 86 + Powers 43 + Advantages 19 + Skills 39 (78 ranks) + Defenses 13 = 200

Complications
Motivation: Thrills: Creed loves the hell out of murder and mayhem. Running a bloodly rampage is his idea of a good time.
Nemesis: Wolverine. The bad blood between those two clawed mutants is epic.
Power Loss: Sabretooth' healing factor is useless against the Muramasa Blade and it will cut him up while shutting the power down.
Prejudice: Big hairy mutie scum!
Temper: Sabretooth can get lost in a berserker rage and wake up to find he murdered a bus full of people and doesn't get to remember the fun.

Victor Creed is bad man. A very big, very hairy, very scary, very old, very bad man. He can follow your scent faster than you move leap on your back from stealth and claw the hide right off you. If you manage to fight back he'll probably heal. If he enters one of his rages his favored environment makes him even better at clawing your face off and you better believe power attack and crit on 19. Dude has fought in more wars than you can name, live in the ghettos or the jungle and not miss a thing in either. He's half a PL up from Wolverine at 11.5 with claws, parry, and fort/will. Adamantium bonding could give him another point of strength, impervious protection, and penetrating for his claws if you want to make Sabretooth fully PL 12 and even more capable at eating innocent people or terrorizing Wolverine. What is wrong with you?

[Goldar]

Wow, very nice builds, Gazman!

I reviewed each one and I really like the ratings you gave for most all the characters! I especially liked Reed Richards' stats, including his gliding ability which many fans are unaware of that he can do!

Who do you plan to profile next?

Do you plan on doing any of the obscure MU characters or just the major ones?

Do you take requests for character builds?

[krypt0nian]

Gaz, huge fan of your stuff, especially the "feel" of them, which I think you're particularly adept at capturing.

Welcome to the boards! Any hints as to what group of characters you're going to conquer next? If you're taking suggestions, I'd love to see your Power Pack or maybe the Young Avengers. Cloak & Dagger would also be welcome.


Cheers, Gaz!

Thanks a lot, Goldar. I guess since the thread says "X-Villains Galore" I should probably try to do more X-Villains, just gotta psych myself up to it. Or just change the thread title to X-men. Or go back to finish the Avengers and some more Masters of Evil types. I eventually plan on hitting all of the major Marvel notes (and also branching out), but probably nothing really obscure.

I can't really say I don't take requests, since I've not gotten any yet. I guess I would be happy to try a build for somebody I've at least heard of.

Cheers, Gaz!

Thanks for the welcome and for the big compliments. I guess I'm going to try more X-baddies and live up my "galore" hyperbole. There's still the rest of the Brotherhood under Magneto and Mystique, the Acolytes, Marauders, and the Sentinels just to name groups. I should probably get cracking on that at some point. I've never really read Power Pack or New Avengers, so when I do teen heroes it'll definitely be the Runaways first if not only. Cloak and Dagger will both get built and posted with either the X-men or the Spidey/Street guys.

In the mean time, here is somebody who qualifies as both a X-men enemy and as an Avenger.

Power Points
Abilities 44 + Powers 93 + Advantages 5 + Skills 11 (22 ranks) + Defenses 12 = 165

Complications
Life in the Fast Lane: Quicksilver lives so quickly that every second of dealing with people is like an eternity of waiting behind idiots in long lines to him.
Prejudice: Mutie Scum!
Relationship: Scarlet Witch's overly twin protective brother and Magneto's son.

Quicksilver costs the 165 for PL 11 starting character but only hits caps for PL 10, because Quicksilver sucks. He's an arrogant prick and a jerk to everybody but he only has one super (generic) power. He really only relates to people through Wanda, who has her own (more interesting) life going on. But, he can make a good villain. You look at earlier Ultimate X-men, Wolverine and the X-men, or especially X-men Evolution and Quicksilver's asshat superiority complex thing mixes up with a fearful subservient/adoring son Magneto relationship and creates kinda an engaging character. Despite tons of people wanting to punch Pietro in the face, hitting him is really hard. Like almost hitting the Flash hard. Pietro Maximoff is muuuuuuch slower than any Speed Force user, because his power comes from his scientifically realistic X-gene mutation and not vague space magic. Unlike the official Flash builds Quicksilver actually hits like his fist is going around five times the speed of sound into wherever he takes all the time in the world to land it. Hits PL 10 with his autofire punches and can also bust out a couple of different kinds of whirlwind and pluck bullets from the air. Eh. I guess he's alright.

[Goldar]

Hi Gaz,

Liked Pietro's profile. Yeah, he can be pig-headed, but he has long been a favorite of mine from way back when he was young, humble and just overly-protective of Wanda. This pic is new to me so I likey.

Here are a few X-Men related requests. They are beautiful ladies who all just happen to have telepathic powers!

1) Jean Grey Omega Level Mutant (say, from the last year of her life before being killed by Xorneto/Fauxneto without using the Phoenix Force)
2) The Phoenix (first appearance when we thought it was Jean)
3) Jean as White Phoenix
4) Various Psylockes (original, Kwannon-version, post Crimson dawn, current)
5) Tangerine (both original "Tangerine-Head" version and current long-haired version)

Thanks!

Hey, Goldar. Glad that Quicksilver hit the spot for you. It actually took me forever to image search a picture of comic Quicksilver in a lightning bolt costume with his signature hair running at super-speed that wasn't somebody else's pic already.

With your regard to your requests have no fear that when I get to the X-men there will be builds for Jean, Psylocke, and Phoenix. But there's probably going to be only one each. Like I said from the get go, these are all going to be my iconic builds. That means Jean and Betsy are both regular level X-men characters with Jean's untapped Omega potential being represented by the Extraordinary Effort advantage. I'm sorry to say that I don't even know who Tangerine is.

*Edit* After a trip to Comicvine. I am now aware of Tangerine. I'll totally make her build when I put up the other telepaths I'm gonna do.

Power Points
Abilities 42 + Powers 59 + Advantages 10 + Skills 28 (56 ranks) + Defenses 26 = 165

Complications
Power Loss: If Wanda can't gesture with her hands, then she can't cast the hexes spheres that carry her probability control powers.
Reality Alteration: Wanda's powers sometimes do crazy things way beyond her ability to control or even comprehend. The Scarlet Witch then becomes a walking plot device who warps reality all over the place.
Relationship: Wanda has been in love with The Vision and his psychic template Wonder Man. She's also the doting sister of Quicksilver and the conflicted daughter of Magneto.

Here's the other Maximoff twin: Wanda the Scarlet Witch. Just like her brother she costs the PC proper 165 points but manages to hit her caps for PL 11 with her probability affecting hex spheres. Wanda's basic mutant power is her ability to throw around "finite pockets of reality-disrupting quasi-psionic force, which upon reaching its intended target, causes disturbance in the molecular-level probability field surrounding the target." Basically: shit happens. At range. The shit that can happen is includes things breaking, things falling on people, people just falling, errant shots, and things bursting into flames. It could also mean that Scarlet Witch hits those one in a million odds. While Wanda is a nexus of magical energies or something like that, her magic power is pretty limited to either plot device stuff or using ritualist advantage to perform natural magics she learned from Agatha Harkness. Except that she can fly now. Because flying is cool. And she's done it in comic continuity ever since House of M. She's a decent athlete, medic, and people person alongside being the instigator of some infamous story lines, but Wanda is both a classic villain for the X-men and hero with the Avengers.

Complications
Nosy Psychic: Tangerine can get people real mad when she pokes around in their heads and in their dreams without asking.
Responsibility: Tangerine is an agent of MI 13 and she gots to do what they tells her.

Tangerine was a chick with an orange afro and telepathic and empathic powers who lived in the days of the future past. Then she was in a different but very similar alternate future with a different hairstyle and attitude. Then she joined mainstream Marvel. Then Goldar asked me to do a build of her. She's PL 9 'cause heroes who only show up in 8 issues don't get to be PL 10. She does rate as a very sensitive empath. To the point that just being somewhere can give her psychic impressions of things (psychometry). Her mental blast is different than the typical will affected one, because it apparently disrupts electrical systems like robots as well as the human brain. This means it targets fortitude instead of will(at no cost 'cause high toughness usually means high fort) and can affect objects. She can also excite electrical impulses to the point that they make a blast. The end.

Power Points

Complications
Phoenix Force: Jean is very attractive host for the Phoenix and it will sometimes show up and possess her or imitate her and live her life. Cosmic entities have little sense of personal boundaries.
Prejudice: Mutie Scum!
Relationship: Jean is love with Cyclops, yet part of her longs for Wolverine. Professor X is like her father. Storm is like her sister.
Responsibility: The X-men fight to protect a world that hates and fears them.

Jean Grey started off as the X-men's only girl, there to look good and have the boys fight over her. Since then she has grown to become one of the most powerful psychics in the Marvel Universe. Also she's died and come back like two or three hundred times. She's really over cost because in addition to being a PL 11 telekinetic warrior with a big ole dynamic array she also has a separate PL 11 telepathic dynamic array. She also has untapped potential and the extraordinary effort advantage. She's pretty enough to model professionally, can teach young mutants like whoa, knows what's up with her teammates and can make them feel better. Jean was an integral part of the X-men for years and then she was replaced with the far more interesting Emma Frost and gave Cyclops and Wolverine something to angst over with her second death.

[Goldar]

WOW!

Very great profiles of Tangerine and Jean Grey!

Thanks for taking my suggestions and doing such a great job! Tangerine is unique in look and abilities, and with her jump to Earth-616, we may see more of her. Most people don't know who she is, but having another telepath is good when one tires of those familiar names. Jean is classic and I think you did a nice job representing her as all human (mutant, no PF) with her untapped potential.

Can't wait to see what else you have coming...

Complications
Enemy: Sabretooth mutilated and nearly killed her. Shadow King was not a big fan of Betsy trapping him. Mojo used to control her and record her remotely.
Prejudice: Mutie scum!
Relationship: Betsy Braddock loves her brothers Brian (Captain Britain) and Jamie (nutso whack job who can control reality). She's also always hooking up with somebody like Tom Lennox, Cyclops, Angel, Thunderbird, or even AoA Sabertooth.
Responsibility: The X-men fight to protect a world that hates and fears them.
What is it this time?: Betsy has had multiple powers, bodies, and deaths over the years and can freak out about who she is and what her life is like.

Putting aside for a second all the telekinesis, Crimson Dawn, body-swapping, and resurrection stuff; Betsy Braddock is a PL 10 mind reader in an incredibly fit and trained body. She's only PL 7 unarmed and 9 on defense, but reading her opponents minds will give her some insight into their fighting moves and intentions and bump both of those rating up a PL. Her unique psychic dagger effect is the "the focused totality of her telepathic might" and is hard to really connect with, but when Psylocke does land a hit wit the thing it hits caps, can be power attacked, and has an extended crit range. While Chris Claremont likes Betsy to be a frosted cold &!%@# who spends entire issues getting told how pretty and smart and insightful and skilled she is; I like her as snarky but willing to smile. She flies planes, kicks ass, and looks good. That's Psylocke.

Complications
Disability: Charles is paraplegic and can't go almost anywhere without his wheelchair or crawling.
Fame: Professor Charles Xavier is recognized worldwide as an scientific authority and psychic presence.
Illunminatus: Charles is part of a secret cabal dedicated towards saving the world from big scary problems and securing the Infinity Gems.
Prejudice: Mutie Scum!
Relationship: Charles has been in love with Gabrielle Haller, Moira MacTagert, Amelia Voight, and Lillandra Nerimani. Gabrielle gave him his son, David (Legion). He is very close to first students Scott and Jean. Longtime best buds/worst enemies thing with Magneto.
Responsibility: Professor X formed the X-men to fight to protect a world that hates and fears them. He did this in service to his Dream that humans and mutants could live in peace and understanding.

What are psychics without the big daddy of them all. Charles Xavier is an Omega Level telepath and the planet Earth's foremost psychic presence. That means that he's PL 14 with four of the attacks in his hugely expensive dynamic array and he affects an area full of people with the others. His mind can talk to people anywhere on earth and he can find them from further out that any other telepath (and distinguish who's a mutant) and his cerebro scanner can boost his range even further. Professor X has an impressive mind aside from his telepathic powers, what with the three PhDs and the PL cap hitting ability to know what people are thinking. Ole Chuck can talk to anybody and have them pay attention in any language and they'll usually take his words to heart. He was nice enough to pay the ep for the X-men's base and stealth jet and he has loads more in the bank. Charles Xavier had a dream and he dedicated his life to it. Respect the bald.

Complications
Enemy: Sebastian Shaw disapproves of Emma betraying him and Hellfire.
Guilt: Emma feels guility for some of the terrible things she did with the Hellfire Club, for failing her first students when the Hellions died, and for surviving when all her new students died in Genosha.
Relationship: In love with Cyclops. Psuedo mother to the Stepford Cuckoos. Has been at times very close with Sebastian Shaw, Tony Stark, and Namor.
Reputation: Emma is a notoriously dirty, sneaky, manipulative, and bitchy elitist.
Responsibility: The X-men fight to protect a world that hates and fears them.

Emma Frost is an Omega Level Telepath just like Charles Xavier and probably ranks as number two in the psychic power rankings. She hits the same PL 13 195 points that her counterpoint Sebastian Shaw does and rates just 1 PL below Xavier with he own dynamic array. One slot in the array is non-dynamic because when Emma uses her secondary mutation to assume diamond form, she is locked out of her telepathic abilities. Emma is hotter than hot and spends time, effort, and money on staying that way it works out to Attractive 2 and stopping people with a few choice words or cutting remarks and then drawing out their interest. She's got killer wits, killer looks, money and power in both psychic battles and high society. Emma Frost is bad girl trying to make it good and she's ten times more interesting than Jean Grey.
