Dad beat up Defender, Mother conquered Brazil: The good seed from bad source?

[Hermit]

This is sort of the flip side of the "legacies" thread below. Has anyone looked through the CKC or some other Champion product yet and thought about making a relative of one that was on the side of right? Not only would you have likely excuses for similar powers/abilities, you'd have a great tie in for hunteds/watched.

I've recently been tempted to make an offspring of Doctor Destroyer as a Superhero. I know, the big guy doesn't seem very romanatic, but it occured to me that his study of his 'condition' (His resistance to anti aging tech and most cloning) might require him to breed with a woman in order to have a genetically similiar test subject. Bing. We have a son/daughter, who may share dad's genius. If this happened a bit before 92', maybe this child hasn't been checked on in awhile and has no idea of his/her origin.

Then there are all those villains who started out as orphans. Who's to say they didn't have a sibling?

Anyone already do something like this?

A character I have who has a very long lifespan I have as Cateran's daughter.

[Killer Shrike]

Speaking of Cateran, doesnt she just scream 'somebody likes Highlander way too much'?

A little, but hey, she's a redhead. I'll forgive almost anything if it involves attractive female redheads. Darn Marvel brainwashing at a young age

I already have my own 'immortals' in my game world, though the mythology is different.

My Uncle was the Doc Destroyer wannabe... Doctor Draconis. My father and mother were both 60s superheroes.. Dad just came out of retirement. And my cousin is Victrix and is a teke just like me.

Interestingly enough, the original Island of Dr. Destroyer adventure included Zerstoiten's mistress, the Countess Natasha Alexandrovna, who was described as being open to being persuaded to aid the heroes. Scott Bennie assumed that she had done so when he put her in his sequel adventure, Day of the Destroyer. Actually, it wasn't exactly the Countess, but her corpse preserved and mounted like a mannequin by Destroyer as the price of her treachery.

Anyway, that adventure first came out IIRC in 1983 or '84; any "love child" between those two would be in his or her late teens by now.

Oh I have just GOT to swipe this for a character origin, it's simply too good. Whatever it takes I must convince my GM to let me play a character with this origin.

Already the ideas are coming. Hehe.

Liaden, you are a genius Thank you.

I have the daughter of Destroyer written up for a campaign. She is a powered armor hero. Her armor appears masculine. Its basically an adaptation of a character a friend of mine made up back in highschool. The picture he used was Destroyers from Day of the Destroyer so I made the child origin.

[suspicion] Yes... yes, that was genius. One might even say... evil genius. I suggest we do some DNA testing.[/suspicion]

[WilyQuixote]

In our current group we have a character Gravitic who is the half-brother of Gravitar unbeknownst to either of them...yet. He has taken her as a -8 Hunted, based on the assumption that when she eventually sees him on the SNN channel she'll come looking for him. Now the rest of the group being his trustworthy and stalwart allies that we are; have all pledge our unwavering silent support in not interferring in any family feuds . Not that this will likely do us any good but hey what are friends for?

Hmm, come to think of it... Lord Liaden DID seem to know a bit too much.

Despite DD's resistance to cloning, I can also see Teleios getting creative if he should get his hands on some of his rival's genetic material.

[Lord Liaden]

Blue and Hermit: I really don't think you should be casting aspersions on my heredity.

Dad might not like it.

[Hermit]

Was that a threat? Huh? Cuz I just wanna know so that when I cower and capitulate, I do it for a good reason
Other thoughts

Has anyone made a Vision type PC/NPC good guy to match the Ultron like Mechanon?

One friend of mine has a character who is a creation of Teleios. She's been fun to run.

I keep meaning to make a fellow product of Project Sunburst, but never have the time. Darn it.

Another descendent of the Black Palidan might also be interesting, in a Dane Whitman kind of way.

No threat - just a piece of friendly advice.

I had the reprogrammed "goodguy" Mechanon model from Sanctuary, Peacekeeper, as an NPC hero in a previous campaign. He's helped UNTIL with international threats on several occasions, partly to garner government and public support for Sanctuary. One of my game colleagues also ran Peacekeeper as a PC in a mini-campaign as part of an ad-hoc group of the world's greatest heroes, brought together to combat an epic threat.

With the revisions to the new Mechanon, I'm planning on introducing Peacekeeper into my new campaign as a sometime ally to the PCs. I want the players to care when Mechanon shows up to exterminate his "embarrassing" doppleganger once and for all. And with Peacekeeper being an antiquated relic compared to Mechanon's latest upgrades, he's really going to need the help.
