Brandi Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 This discussion came up with my husband after we'd seen a recent Justice League episode (the "Injustice League" one). I figure a bag of marbles like the Joker used to trip up the Flash would be bought as a Change Environment similar to the ice sheet used as an example in FRed, with possibly a different area of effect (it might appear to be a cone from where they were thrown), and with these limitations: 1 Charge (optionally recoverable, though the Joker's trick marbles blew up), with a fairly long duration Gestures to activate (you can't throw them if your hands are tied up!) Is this likely, or would a Transform be perhaps a bit likelier, on the assumption that if you don't clean up the marbles it'll stay an area of unsure footing for a very long time?

Hermit Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 If you have access to Killers, Conquerors, and Crooks, you might try looking up Slick of the Ultimates for ideas. He has a multipower, one of the slots is very similar to your Change Enviroment suggestion. Of course, he uses friction powers, so the marbles probably wouldn't get as big a minus, but it's a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Champions marbles will need to defy some other physics as well. Soft soled shoes won't have much of a problem with them, nor would someone like Ironclad have a problem either. *crunch* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 You can find a bag o' marbles statted up in The Ultimate Martial Artist, or, in a more thorough exploration of the subject, in the forthcoming Gadgets And Gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Shrike Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Change Environment. For the "Marbles stick around" effect, just use the Long Lasting Adder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Shrike Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 On a side note, for a cinematic fight scene in a low-friction Change Environment type situation, check out the Transporter. Terrible movie, but there's a good fight scene in a garage involving a lot of motor oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I should've known. Next time I see our Champions-collecting friend (he's got damn near everything including the infamous Road Kill adventure) I'll look in UMA.
