Prodigy Duck 3e Builds (Pandemonium, Master Man)

[Horsenhero]

Wow. Considering the time he spent in his Citizen V guise in the Thunderbolts and the readiness with which he leaps into physical combat, Baron Zemo II (Helmut) is kind of a pansy.

This is not modern Zemo. This is more a "beginning" era Zemo. He does not do much combat yet (although he can kick the butt of any police officer, soldier, or secret agent, at his PL). He may get more physical when he makes his big reveal. But for now, he is a mastermind villain.

[Jabroniville]

Batroc rules. Dude once risked his life to save Captain America from some sharks, just because it was an unworthy death for his greatest enemy.

[Woodclaw]

Batroc rules. Dude once risked his life to save Captain America from some sharks, just because it was an unworthy death for his greatest enemy.

Quoted for truth.
Also Batroc should have some kind of Code of Honor complication, he really isn't that much of a bad guy.

Abner Jenkins was an aircraft engineer. He worked alongside Sam Wilson in the creation of a winged harness allowing independent flight. Abner did not want to give his technology away to the military, and thus went AWOL with his designs. He created the first Beetle armor for fame, wealth, and adventure. Believing that defeating the Fantastic Four would catapult him into instant fame, the Beetle lured the Human Torch and the Thing into a fight. He was soundly defeated and sent to prison.

When Baron Zemo formed the Masters of Evil, Jenkins created a new Beetle armor. This one was better able to stand up in super-human combat.

Heya Prod, this might be coming in a little late but I had a question about your beastiary builds. You've got your top end angels and demons at PL15/16. If you were going to write up someone like Zeus or Odin where would you put him PL'wise? I'm guessing they'd come in at PL16 DC/Marvel, but with your Solar at 16 that wouldn't work, or do you just figure them at the ol PLx?

Well, the Solar as written is a conversion. Had I to do it myself would be completely different (as was demonstrated with the two different Rokurokubi builds).

In a proper fantasy game, the gods will be PL X. In a superhero game, gods will vary in PL based on their individual power. For example, my build for Ares (in DC comics) is PL 14. My build for Thor (Marvel version) is PL 13.

I'll try to to show you an alternate Solar version when I have the ability to do so... but right now, my friends are showing up for tonight's game. GAME ON!

A solar done differently. Still quite powerful, but on a scale that most superheroes could actually handle (not that it should ever come to that).

COMPLICATIONS
Infamy: Ares is known as the Greek god of war. His presence is believed by the general public to be solely mythological.
Obsession: Ares seeks to cause strife and suffering in the world.
Relationship: Ares is the son of Zeus and the lover of Aphrodite. He is the father of Deimos, Phobos, and Harmonia.
Weakness: Ares feeds on the anger, hatred, weaponry, and violence of mankind, whether they believe in him or not. This works like a psychic battery. The less of these evil traits that are present, the weaker his power. Even the slightest thought of kindness weakens him, especially if two beings get along with each other. Ares is Impaired in regions without active conflict. He is Disabled in the presence of genuine love and affection.


Different from my Living Legends Ares build, but still PL 14, is the DC Comics version of Ares.

[Vexous]

OK. These PLs are not only understandable, but useable as well. Obviously it all gets modified before I toss it into my own campaign, your stuff, IK's, Tali's, even the official H&V stuff to a small extent. But with your other solar/balor being so high I thought maybe I was just missing something critical in my over all understanding of where things should fall/how they should play out. Looking at these new ones I guess I'm not so far off afterall.

That aside, your picture on that solar has got to be THE most contradictory pic of an angel I've ever seen. Cute as an angel should be with the back of her modest dress open to allow for the wings, and yet, she flashes me her bare buttocks. Blatantly tempting me to take that which she will gleefully deny me. Angel. Yeah, sure....

Best angel picture ever. Where did you find it?

Body shame is not something angels have to worry about. That is a concern of unenlightened mortals.
