bigdamnhero Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Awhile back, I did a convention game where the PCs were the "other" villains from the Evil League Of Evil. (Glimpsed briefly at the end of Dr. Horrible as well as the mock interviews on the DVD.) I stole some material from the Dr. Horrible comic they did a couple years ago, one issue of which focused on the ELE, but I also made up/changed a bunch. I never got around to actually creating Dr. Horrible or Bad Horse, since they didn't show up in the module. Anyway, I had a hoot creating the characters, so I thought I may as well share them here. Here's the blurb: The Evil League Of Evil’s Evil Night Out…Of Evil! Ever since this new villain Dr. Horrible became Bad Horse’s favorite, the rest of the Evil League Of Evil has been feeling unappreciated. But they have a Cunning Plan that cannot fail to restore their reputations and show Bad Horse who are the real Worst Villains Ever! Set in the world of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Keywords: comic hijinks, PG-rated villainy – No singing! Characters to follow. Hope you enjoy them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So everything after 1980 was this other guy. You tried to hunt him down and kill him once, but his handlers keep him surrounded by garlic and mirrors. Forget him! - As a vampire, you have unnatural strength, speed and toughness, fangs, and a hypnotic gaze. You haven’t mastered the whole turn into a bat/fog thing yet. - You were a cynical smart-ass even before you became a Walking Mockery Of Life, and you always have an insult or a wry comment at the ready. - As supervillains go, you’re something of a slacker to be honest. True to your performer roots, your schemes tend to be about Making A Statement more than actually, you know, accomplishing anything. Quote: Oh yes, Fake Thomas Jefferson, tell us again about how you wrote the Declaration Of Independence on your slave girl’s backside. Riveting stuff. [snore] Seriously, even Professor Boring there is bored. Campaign Use: Your Fellow Villains: Fake Thomas Jefferson: A knock-off clone that thinks he’s the original model. Stupid, pompous, and a total kiss-arse, he desperately wants to be Vice-President of the League. He’s handy in a fight, tho. Professor Normal: Professor Boring, more like. Oh look at me, I have a metal arm! Yawn. Fury Leika: A jilted bride who developed radiation powers and a hatred of all living men. Since you aren’t living, she tolerates you better than the other men. Beautiful, but scary. Tie Die: A stupid hippie chick that can manipulate people’s emotions. A major killjoy, what with her pathological hatred of anyone happier than her, ie - everyone. Snake Bite: Crazy snake woman. Probably the least pathetic member of the League besides yourself. Freaky-looking, but kindof sexy if you’re into that. (You could be into that…) Notes: On the DVD interview, Dead Bowie just says he has "the power of persuasion" but the team already has one mentalist (Tie-Die), so I made him a vampire. What with him being dead and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Or 15 slaves, depending on your unit of measurement…) - You are disgusted by how far this country has fallen from the utopia you envisioned, and you’ve rejected Democracy and all those naive ideals. Clearly people cannot be trusted to govern themselves – they need a strong leader! Preferably someone with a previous leadership background… - You respect Bad Horse’s leadership, but any effective leader needs a good second-in-command. A Vice President, if you will. Bad Horse has yet to see this wisdom, tho you’re the only one with the experience. Quote: Yes, I had a similar influence on the Second Continental Congress. Not to mention my key role in the Louisiana Purchase. Now that is the sort of bold, decisive action we need here! Campaign Use: Your Fellow Villains: Dead Bowie: Supposedly once a well-known musician, now a vampire. An abrasive smart-ass who openly mocks you in front of the others. You only tolerate him because of Bad Horse, but someday…. Professor Normal: A modern-day Ben Franklin…only far less interesting. If he ever completes his cyborg body, he could be a threat; but at the rate he’s going that’ll take another 200 years. Fury Leika: A jilted bride with powers of something called “radiation.” Beautiful, but a real man-hater; she barely speaks to you, which is probably just as well. Tie Die: Dead Bowie says she’s a “hippie,” whatever that means. Her hatred of happy people knows no bounds. You’d love the opportunity to melt her cold heart, but she has so far resisted your charms. Snake Bite: Crazy, freaky-looking snake woman! Of all your fellow villains, she scares you the most. Notes: In the DVD interview, Fake Thomas Jefferson says he has "the strength of 3 men, or 5 slaves, depending on your unit of measurement." That makes for a pretty weak brick, obviously, so I kept the gag but raised the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your life changed on March 28, 1979, in Harrisburg, PA. It was supposed to be your wedding day. But there was some fuss at the nearby Three Mile Island plant, and your fiancé, Ira Goldschitz, evacuated left you at the altar! - Despondent and humiliated, you were then shat on by a radioactive dove, granting you strange radiation powers and an intense hatred of men – and weddings in particular. - Since that day, you’ve been followed by four female forms – some kind of energy constructs – who serve as your evil bridesmaids. (Each bridesmaid can activate their power once daily, but all 4 are always visible.) - Note that lead dampens your radiation powers, which makes you more vulnerable to conventional bullets. - Your crimes tend to be of the senseless-mayhem variety, especially against men. And you never pass up the opportunity to “object” to a wedding! Quote: You men are all alike, you lead a girl on, you act all warm and strong. But when it comes time to actually commit to something, it’s “Oh no, there’s a nuclear meltdown, have to run!” Pathetic. You remind me of my fiancé… Campaign Use: Your Fellow Villains: Fake Thomas Jefferson: A sad clone that thinks he’s a real boy. Pompous jerk. He reminds you of Ira, and not in a good way! You only tolerate him because Bad Horse insists. Dead Bowie: Former rock star turned vampire. He’s ok, for a man. Maybe it’s because he’s so androgynous? Or because he’s dead? For whatever reason, you get along all right. Tie Die: A silly hippie girl that manipulates people’s emotions, and hates anyone happier than her (ie - everyone). Too bad she doesn’t understand the patriarchy is the real problem! Snake Bite: Crazy snake woman. You like her, but you don’t really understand her. Sometimes you catch her looking at you and the others like you’re food. Your money is on her to kill Fake Thomas Jefferson someday. Professor Normal: Who? Oh him. Maybe once he finishes replacing his body with machines, he might be vaguely interesting. In the meantime, Bad Horse says you can’t kill him. Notes: Ah, Liz Vassey! I took this almost entirely from her interview. I originally tried building her Bridesmaids as Followers, but decided it worked better to just make them Powers with the sfx of "creepy radiation construct." I did consider updating her origin to Chernobyl or Fukishima, but decided to stay canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critias Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 As a fan of Champions and a US History professor, it amuses me to see an archetypical Brick's super-strength measured in accordance with the Three-Fifth's Compromise. Sadly, I don't know enough about the Dr. Horrible universe and the rest of these characters to contribute to a discussion very meaningfully. They look awesome (and entertaining) so far, though, and give me a solid Venture Brothers sort of vibe, which is fun. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After your first robbery, a witness described you as “really normal-looking,” and you decided to embrace that. - You are a brilliant scientific mind and inventor! Well, you’re above-average anyway. - Your main area of expertise is cybernetics. Your goal is to be full-on cyborg by 2010 2014 2020. So far, you’ve managed to replace your jaw, mutton chops, and – most recently – your left arm. - You are right-handed, so you had to replace your left arm first. Unfortunately, that means most of your attacks are with your off-hand, but you’re learning to compensate. - Most of your crimes tend towards stealing money or resources to further your work. Quote: I am, as you can see, completely normal. I have a wife, two kids, a house in the suburbs. The cybernetic mutton chops are a work-in-progress. Now kindly put the money in the bag – I have a mortgage to pay off. Campaign Use: Your Fellow Villains: Dead Bowie: Former rock star turned vampire. An abrasive smart-ass who calls you Professor Boring, as if that were an insult! A shame his feeble mind cannot comprehend your genius. Fake Thomas Jefferson: A clone that thinks he’s the original model. Too bad he didn’t get any of Jefferson’s intellect – it would’ve been nice to have someone intelligent to talk to. Fury Leika: A jilted bride who developed radiation powers and a hatred of all living men, she barely tolerates you. A shame her feeble mind cannot see that your genius puts you above mere men… Tie Die: A stupid hippie girl that manipulates people’s emotions and hates anyone happier than her (ie - everyone). Her feeble mind cannot see that your genius puts you above such concepts as “happiness.” Snake Bite: Crazy, freaky-looking snake woman. [shudder] You have no idea what goes on in that head. Note to self: remember to include an anti-venom auto-injector in your next cybernetic upgrade. Notes: In the DVD interview, he only has the cybernetic mutton chops, but the comic gave him one cyber arm which is considerably less pathetic.

(Hey, $50 is $50.) - For some reason, the snake DNA bonded to your own, giving you enhanced strength and reflexes. It also gave you scales, claws, and a tail! - The cops didn’t understand why you killed the Professor running the experiment, so you left school and began your career as a supervillain. Mostly you steal shiny things & torment weak mammals (ie - humans). - A few years later, you stole an ancient Egyptian staff of serpents, boosting your offensive powers. - Most people think you look pretty freaky, tho some guys are into that. You have little interest in mammals either way. Quote: All you mammals are the same with your fur and your soft little underbellies! You think you’re superior just because your blood is warm? Let’s spill a little and see how fast it cools off! Campaign Use: Your Fellow Villains: Dead Bowie: Former rock star turned vampire. Sexy, in an androgynous kindof way. He seems to insult you slightly less than the other villains – does that mean he likes you? Fake Thomas Jefferson: A pathetic clone that thinks he’s a real boy. It’s obvious you freak him out, and you enjoy pushing that button. Fury Leika: Jilted bride who still hasn’t gotten over being left at the altar 30 years ago. Get over it already! And those radioactive “bridesmaids” creep even you out. Professor Normal: He’s supposed to be some genius inventor, but he’s been working on this cyborg thing for years, and all he’s got to show for it is one metal arm and a robo-jaw. Bored now. Tie Die: A sad little hippie girl, who manipulates people’s emotions to make them more miserable than she is. You’re not exactly BFFs, and you’re still not sure how she got into the League, but whatever. Notes: Snake Bite didn't give an interview, so this one's all me!

Life was all organic vegan herbs & aromatherapy. - Then one Saturday Market, the patchouli and ylang-ylang oils you were mixing formed a strange chemical reaction. Suddenly, you could feel the emotions of everyone around you. And they felt…awful! - Ever since you have had an unbearable hatred of happy people. - You eventually learned how to not only read people’s emotions, but actually influence them. Now you don’t have to put up with the dippy happy sheeple any more! - Your eventual goal is to overturn the social order and, like, redistribute power to the masses. But in the meantime, you just try to enlighten people as to just how miserable this world really is! Quote: The 60s were humanity’s last chance at true happiness, you know? But we rejected it in favor of materialism. Like, disco and polyester, right? Now everything is all [air quotes] “iPods” and “Reality TV.” Anyone who can look at the world today and claim to be [air quotes] “happy” is a brainwashed corporate drone. Happiness is a lie sold to us by The Man, man! So stop crying and give me the damn diamonds! Campaign Use: Your Fellow Villains: Dead Bowie: Former rock star turned vampire. He represents most of what you hate about the 70s. And for a brooding creature-of-the-night, he’s way too cheerful. Cute tho. Fake Thomas Jefferson: A clone that thinks he’s a real boy. You’ve tried to introduce him to 60s culture, but he’s so 18th Century. Seriously, what’s with the triangle hat? Fury Leika: She would be your best friend, if the whole idea of a “best friend” wasn’t so naïve and limiting, right? She blames men for all the problems of the world, but at least she’s sour and bitter about it! Professor Normal: He’s a pretty smart guy, but replacing your body with machines is just so…unnatural, you know? Apparently he’s happily married, but he has the decency not to talk about it. Snake Bite: Crazy snake woman. You like her, but you don’t really understand her, and she’s kinda scary. Notes: I may or may not have known someone like this when I lived in Boulder, so this one pretty-much wrote itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
