Calling all Archers

[Shaft]

Re: Calling all Archers

 

Marvel:

 

Hawkeye

Hawkingbird? - okay

Trickshot

Golden Archer/Black Archer (Squadron Supreme)

 

I assume we're not counting Scarlett, Storm Shadow, Spirit and Zartan from GIJoe...

 

I'm sure that each of the Zodiacs had an archer in its ranks by the name of Sagitarius.

 

Also, in DC, I remember being pretty cooled out by Shado in the Longbow Hunter.

Re: Calling all Archers

 

Oh, and IMHO 2 handed for a bow is not appropriate for a supers archer, but restrainable (-1/2) certainly is.

[JmOz]

Re: Calling all Archers

 

not to send this descending on a tangent BUT: Restainable is not really appropriate if it is built as an OAF, but would be if built as an OIF/Restrainable..same lim value for both BTW...

 

Thought of another one BTW

Hi JmOz,

Re: Calling all Archers

 

Not sure if the list of published archers is still going (what with the thread being officially undead, and all that) -- but there's one in Dark Champions: The Animated Series, too. I believe his name is Trick Shot.

[JmOz]

Re: Calling all Archers

 

Definatly still going on

 

SC:TAS: Trickshot, could someone confirm the name? I would assume he is an Archer (not a crossbowman) with trick arrows?

[hooligan x]

Re: Calling all Archers

 

In DCU, Merlyn was the antagonist that put Oliver Queen into his pre-OneYearLater coma. I had never heard of him before.

 

Has anyone mentioned Shado, Ollie's babymomma?

[name_tamer]

Re: Calling all Archers

 

Trickshot (from DC:TAS) wields a longbow with trick arrows.

Der Bogenshutze (from Champions Worldwide) does too (and has a much broader, more four-color array of them).

[Squall]

Re: Calling all Archers

 

In DCU' date=' Merlyn was the antagonist that put Oliver Queen into his pre-OneYearLater coma. I had never heard of him before.[/quote']

Merlyn'd been around, he was just never a big player. His schtick was pretty simple ("Evil Green Arrow" about sums him up), and he never got much screen time outside of GA comics. Since there were no GA comics for a while, well, he just never got much screen time.

 

He played a pretty large role in Identity Crisis, too (not just the lead-in to Infinite).

Didn't he make an appearance in Villains United too?

Re: Calling all Archers

 

Here's a link to a big list:

 

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Dungeon/2864/Bows_and_Arrows.html

[The Arc]

Re: Calling all Archers

 

From Marvel there is Taskmaster. He packed a bow, because he could mimic the abilities of Hawkeye.

[wcw43921]

Re: Calling all Archers

 

Ok, this project never got done, and I am tempted to start it up again. This time I want to include characters from the comics as well, furthermore history. My ultimate goal is to have (for my private use) two documants, the Ultimate Archer, and and Equipment guide called the Ultimate Quiver

 

so lets see some archers

 

DC Comics

Green Arrow

Arsenal

Speedy

Huntress

Arrowette

Spider? (I think is his name, he is used as a contnincy implant for GA)

 

 

Marvel Comics

Hawkeye

Hawkingbird (Aka Hawkeye II)

 

Image Comics/Wildstorm

Shaft

 

Will make a compound list later

 

 

Now here's a question I had in mind--to my knowledge, none of these characters have any innate super-powers; they're all just exceptionally talented weapon-masters and/or combat artists. Have there ever been any super-archers possessing their own super-powers, either by accident, birth or design? Has anyone here ever designed a super-archer with his own super-abilities?

[Squall]

Re: Calling all Archers

 

I'm not sure if he would count, but I think a Marvel What-If had a sort of "next generation of Avengers!" story in it, at one point. She-Hulk and Hawkeye had a kid who went by Stallion, that was a pretty cool Brick/Archer hybrid. Imagine Hawkeye taking shots with a bow so powerful you need She-Hulk's strength to draw it back. It was a fun read.

 

And I'm not sure if you're asking only for official comic book characters, or just people's Champions stuff -- but I'm in an on-line game with a character I threw together who goes by The Warden. He's (in summary) got Daredevil style super senses, and Green Arrow style trick arrows and stuff. Haven't gotten in TOO much play time yet (it's kind of a slow moving game), but I think he's got some potential.

DC's Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) is a Mata-Human, power has never been stated, I would guess some kind of enhanced accuracy (or some kind of "Dinah will forgive me for being a scumbucket again power...)

Well let me tell you the real goal:

 

I am looking for ideas for my own archer (Who is kind of a combination of Green Arrow, Batman, & Punisher with a touch of Hawkeye as well)

[Corven_Ren]

Re: Calling all Archers

 

Well JmOz here is my archer maybe it will help you maybe not.

While in college he learned that the super villain group, Terror Inc., had attacked his reservation, stole all the money from the casino & killed everyone. Jeremiah swore to see Muerte and his band brought to justice. Using his newly aquired education, he constructed his bow, trick arrows and costume. He then traveled to his mothers home in Florida, where he had heard of the group of heroes, the Forces of Nature. He had heard that they fought Terror Inc quite often. He has since joined the forces and earned the hatred of Terror Inc, especially Fuer who dislikes his extenguisher arrow.

 

Personality/Motivation: Seminole is very proud of his heritage and if you insult that you are likely to piss him off. His major goal as a hero is to see Muerte locked up forever for his crimes.

 

Quote:

 

Powers/Tactics: Seminole generally keeps his distance in battle, but if drawin in to H-H combat he will use his bow like a staff.

 

Campaign Use:

 

Appearance: Seminole is well muscled and lean. His hair is long and he wears a costume that looks like street close. He always wears his boot moccasins with the built in enhancements.

Similarly, Hawkeye's been touted as having exceptional eyesight - maybe he'e a mutant.

 

Really, a lot of this highlights the difficulty in drawing the line between "normal human" and "superhuman" - an archer could certainly be designed as a mutant or metahuman whose power is "emhamced accuracy". Anyone remember the Liberty Project character whose "superpowers" were mechanical aptitude and accuracy?

 

To the topic, one of the New Mutants, Danielle Moonstar, directed her mutant talents through a pseuado-bow, didn't she?

Re: Calling all Archers

 

I have no problem saying that Ollie is a low level meta. Actually I like the idea. I typically dislike trained normals, though. My archer characters do tend to have something superhuman about them. Madstone was an alchemist; Crackshot was a luckster. Another (whose name is lost to senility) was a winged archer. (No, his name wasn't Cupid, but I think the confusion is why I quit playing him, honestly.)

 

Bullseye has the adamantium skeleton now, not sure if there's anything else superhuman about him. And of course Hawkeye transforms into Goliath every now and then.

Re: Calling all Archers

 

Well let me tell you the real goal:

 

I am looking for ideas for my own archer (Who is kind of a combination of Green Arrow, Batman, & Punisher with a touch of Hawkeye as well)

 

Boudicca, a Green Arrow homage with elements from many other characters. Uses a bow, a sword, a staff, and a pistol.

Unfortunately I reread The Longbow Hunters recently.

 

This was, of course, one of the original Iron Age masterpieces. It firmly separated him from his old silliness. And saying he is a meta is a step back from that...

 

Of course, I liked the old silliness, don't get me wrong. I haven't suddenly gone over to the Dark Side. But Longbow Hunters was good.

Re: Calling all Archers

 

DC's Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) is a Mata-Human' date=' power has never been stated, I would guess some kind of enhanced accuracy (or some kind of "Dinah will forgive me for being a scumbucket again power...)[/quote']

I...don't think he is. Unless you're just joking, I mean. I'm pretty sure his main schtick is that he's a sort of "everyman" hero, who has an amazing natural talent (but not even the drive and genius of Batman, to back it up). I'm fairly certain he's not a meta.

 

And on Bullseye, it's been pretty established that only his spine has any adamantium on it (and that was to help him get over being crippled, IIRC), and it doesn't really add to his combat effectiveness any. He's certainly not got the "yes, please, murder me with adamantium poisoning!" levels of reinforcement Wolverine does, head to toe, or anything like that.

INVASION! #3

 

The alien invaders drop a "Meta-Bomb" that makes any human who has metahuman powers sick/dying, it's up to the non powered heroes, aliens, and tech based heroes to save the world and they companions

 

Green Arrow got sick

 

so he is a meta human

 

It should be noted that ALOT of people who had no apparent power got sick, large chunk of the population of normal (non-hero/villain) wound up having some power (The meta bomb basicaly awakened alot of people's powers)

That's a retcon. He has varying levels of adamantium in his bones depending on the writer. In the 1990 Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe, he's described as having a full adamantium skeleton, with the bonding done by Lord Dark Wind.
