Send in the DD clones

**Acroyear** · Feb 10th, '03, 11:12 AM

Witht he movie coming out and plenty of discussion... here's my first DD clone (I've been laid up after coming out of the hospital, so I've had lots of time on my hands).

I haven't done the disads yet... but what the heck... I'm sure other people have done some up, too. So let's see 'em

What about Spatial Awareness and Discriminatory on his touch and taste?

DD was famous for being able to read a newspaper with his fingertips and telling how many grains of salt were on a pretzel.

But then, I guess you are not trying to duplicate DD exactly.

Yeah, and what the heck happened to his disads??

He has none... he is without flaw.

While not a 'Clone' of DD, a good homage to the super sensor type is Eagle Eye in the Free Stuff "HERO , Genre by Genre"

**mattingly** · Feb 10th, '03, 12:55 PM

Whew! My first thought was that you were asking for Doctor Destroyer clones...

He wouldn't let himself be cloned... unless it was part of his master plan and he raised a sucessor... hmmmm... We have a winner

***Hermit*** · Feb 10th, '03, 12:59 PM

Either that, or Teleios is... mmmm.. fun.

**Acroyear** · Feb 10th, '03, 02:11 PM

As stated, I hadn't done disads yet... just playing around.

I wasn't planning on "blinding" him and just using his sense of "sight" as a mechanic for the SFX of his ability to read or determine color (based on the amount of heat it gives off... now that's some mighty fine heat sensin'

) Eventually, if the character was played, I'd buy up more gimmick senses like that. I can tell what color it is in the dark... The little sense tricks aren't quite as important to starting character.

He doesn't need spatial awareness with discriminatory radar, really.

Actually, the part I'm not happy about is that he has no real profession... he's just one of those "just back from Tibet learning Kung Fu for so long.... uh, they speak English there. It was a Hollywood movie set... uh..." but what do youw ant for 20 minutes?

Good point, I tend to think in terms of SA, as we just created a 'blind fighter' for my daughter.

Maybe the cliche, a Martial Arts instructor... it's worked before. Or a Stunt-man, that's another classic for skill-mongers with no marketable skills.

Teleios

I must've missed that...

He doesn't even have those skills, imo. The freebie PS might cover it in the blandest way, but I'm usually a little more skill heavy. As a first draft, it's not bad. I'd definitely tweak it up if I was going to actually play him.

Actually, I'm finding my GL clone a little boring... he's a little too effective so I might be on the hunt for something new.

No... he doesn't, but I was trying to be nice.

The Master of Genetics in 5th Edition, presented in Champions Universe, does not much like Doctor Destroyer.

Hey, if Doc D was cloned, the clone wouldn't have the scars, right?

Hmm , and I may have helped derail this. Apologies. I'll try to think of a good 'blind' hero with odd senses and make him up.

Continuing the Derail...

Ah... I see him now. That's what comes of skimming instead of reading. If these kids would just let me work on something important instead of school!

I think the Doc clone has potential.... nasty potential. You could even pull off a Dr. Doom/Kristoff angle to infiltrate our little clone into the Heroes' hearts and minds.
