Another Take on the Animated Justice League

[JmOz]

Re: Another Take on the Animated Justice League

 

For those of you looking for Teen Titans writeups, they are here:

TV Teen Titans Writeups

Be aware that those writeups are not on the same scale as the ones I'm producing in this thread; the adaptors used different criteria for their conversions. So you'd have to make adjustments in one group of characters or the other in order for them to "play" together properly.

 

I won't be doing the Titans unless they appear in one of the other DCAU shows, because:

1- I don't think they're in the same continuity, based on the heavily contrasting animation and writing styles.

2- Because Titans is relatively "cartoony," the abilities of the characters aren't consistent from episode to episode and sometimes not even within the same episode. And far too many liberties are taken with otherwise established physical laws and properties, such as, "There is no air in outer space," except on the Titans, there is air there if the writers want it that way for that particular scene.

3- I don't like the Titans show so I don't watch it except when one of my young nieces or nephews insists. Whereas I think much of the other DCAU shows, even Static, stand right up with any drama or dramady you can find on network prime-time TV, the Titans program appears to me, at best, as just another anime-inspired cartoon for kids and not the best of the bunch at that. (I'm not knocking anyone who enjoys it. Different strokes and all that...)

I agree: These characters could be much more heavily streamlined. Take a look at the Superman and Wonder Woman writeups that JmOz did last year (referenced with a link in the first message of this thread) as they are both 350 points. I think JmOz plans to someday complete the AJL7 at 350 points each.

 

I tried to represent the commonly-used abilities and devices of every character, and made some effort to represent logical extensions of those demonstrated abilities. I totally hand-waved the costs of vehicles, bases, and some contacts, but otherwise took some pains to make them comprehensive but playable.

 

Sure, Superman probably used Super-Drilling only once or twice, but as it was just two or a few more points in a multipower slot, and possibly difficult to justify with a use of Power Skill, I threw it in there. I don't see Superman trying to Super-Drill through dirt and failing, do you? Supes could use Power Skill to do a stunt like try to make his Super-Breath a cold blast instead of a Reduced-Penetration/Double-Knockback physical blast, and that's been rare enough that I figured it wasn't worth writing up as a specific power.

 

As for Batman, other than the hand-wavy things like followers, bases, and vehicles, he's demonstrated most of what's on that character sheet during the three seasons of JL shows. Also, I eventually plan to hit the rest of the DCAU characters as I can, including the current Robin (Tim Drake, I think), plus Batgirl, Nightwing (Dick Grayson, right?), Static, and so on. And let's face it: He's BATMAN! Knows all, sees all, does all... within reasonable normal human limits, anyway. Remove his access to the followers, bases, vehicles, and extreme "Bat-resources" and he's usable by a player with the other 6 original AJLers. As it is, and as my stream-of-consciousness notes stated, I'd probably reserve him for use as an NPC if he's to be played with the other 6.

 

Thank you all for your comments!

Well I intend to finish the first 7 members, and maybe Green arrow...

Jason Blood and Etrigan "first draft"

 

This time, my random notes first:

-Jason Blood is the human form of the Demon Etrigan. Neither is technically a "true form" per the Hero rules; either is as valid as the other as far as one can see from the JL episodes in which they've appeared. I always have the most expensive form pay the points for Multiform in order to prevent players from abusing the 5:1 expense ratio. Therefore, Etrigan pays for Multiform while Jason does not. Treat Jason as the "true form" for all other purposes, however. Since Jason and Etrigan appear to be two completely different beings, albeit with a psychic link to retain the memories of the other, it might be reasonable to not apply damage taken by one to the other; that would not be an advantage since Etrigan regenerates damage quickly while Jason heals at a merely human rate.

-Etrigan is much less inclined to summon Jason than Jason is to summon Etrigan. Etrigan will tend to remain until whatever situation for which he was summoned has been resolved. Etrigan has a minor Psychological Disadvantage to represent this.

-Since Jason is about a thousand years old, he has amassed a huge amount of knowledge and has the skills one would expect of a debonair thousand-year-old former Knight of the Round Table. (Think of him almost as the anti-Vandal Savage.) He is not, however, a combat monster: When things get dicey, or Morgaine is nearby, Jason doesn't hesitate to summon Etrigan and leave the driving to the demon.

-Jason doesn't carry weapons on his person, but is often in an environment (his home, museums, etc.) where swords, maces, and similar things are just laying around. If Jason gets into a protracted combat and can't (or for some reason won't) summon Etrigan, allow him to pick up and use whatever's around. This will rarely be the case, however, and so I haven't had Jason pay for any weapons or armor.

-Notes on the x3 Active Points Advantage which I've given to Jason's The Strength of Avalon Variable Power Pool: This is an Advantage for Variable Power Pools which allows individual powers built with the VPP to exceed the normal Active Point limit by a certain multiple. The cost of this Advantage is +1/4 for each +1/2x where X is the normal Active Point limit. Examples- A VPP with 10 Real Points normally has a 10 Active Point cap on any power built with the VPP. With a x1.5 Active Points Advantage (+1/4), any power built can have up to 15 Active Points; with a x2 Active Points Advantage (+1/2), any power built can have up to 20 Active Points; with a x5 Active Points Advantage (+2), any power built can have up to 50 Active Points. Note that this does not increase the Real Points available for the VPP, and so Limitations will have to be applied to powers so that all the simultaneously active powers from the VPP do not exceed the number of Real Points in the VPP. If you don't like this, delete it and pump the pool total from 30 to 90.

-I'd love to get suggestions for Jason's Knowledge Skills, Area/City Knowledge Skills, and Contacts. And as usual, I need help with Disadvantages.

A common spell would be the summoning of a demon or other magical being, usually for the purpose of questioning said being. Jason must use all of the Limitations listed; he may add others at his option. Both the Active Points and Real Points from The Strength of Avalon add to those from A Taste of Avalon. x3 Active Point Maximum is a VPP Advantage which costs +1/4 for each +1/2x Active Points allowable for any one power. For Jason therefore, this Advantage allows a spell from The Strength of Avalon to have up to 90 Active Points (instead of only 30); added to the 20 Active Points from A Taste of Avalon, this is a total Active Point cap of 110. Considering Jason's Magic Skill roll (a base of 12-), he will likely need several bonuses to his roll from complementary skills, having exceptional research materials at hand, or by taking a lot of extra time in order to set this power to one with a large Active Point total.]*

Orion "first draft"

 

-Orion is the son of Darkseid but was raised by Highfather. He's strong, tough, and has "Astral Force" which is similar to Darkseid's "Omega Force" but possibly weaker; certainly Orion doesn't have the sort of control of his Astral Force that his father has with his Omega Force, and apparently can only channel it though his Astral Harness.

-Orion possesses a Mother Box, a sentient computer with quite a number of powers of its own, the most potent of which are the creation of "Boom Tube" teleport gates and nearly omniscient information resources. It would be perfectly reasonable to build Mother Box as an AI but I've chosen to make it a Focus for now. Orion could be made a fair bit less espensive by building Mother Box as something other than a Focus (Follower, AI, etc.).

-Mother Box might get a few more skills for the final draft, such as Deduction and Analyze.

-Orion is destined to be the greatest warrior in the universe (among the New Gods, anyway...) but I don't think he's quite there yet based on what we saw in the Superman animated series and the couple of JL episodes where he's appeared.

Sinestro "first draft"

 

Sinestro was a quick job: Using my Green Lantern file as a base, I trimmed some Characteristics, rearranged the Skills and Disadvantages, removed the Emergency Shield power and replaced it with a pair of illusion-based powers, and that was about it.

 

Sinestro can use his Ultimate Deception power to leave gloating messages for his enemies to find:

As Green Lantern steps into the museum's vault an image of Sinestro appears. "Ha-ha-ha! Once again you are too late, Green Lantern! While you waste time watching this holographic recording, I am even now combining the final components of the dimensional gate which, once opened, will turn the skies of this world yellow with the armies of Qward!"

 

Anyway, enjoy:

 

 

Sinestro

Final Drafts of Green Arrow, Aquaman, Supergirl, Captain Atom, Booster Gold, Skeets

 

Attached are files for the "final drafts" of Aquaman, Green Arrow, Supergirl, Captain Atom, Booster Gold, and Skeets.

 

I've also put the "final drafts" of the AJL7 (the original seven members of the Justice League from the first two seasons) here so you don't have to look in more than one place for all this stuff.

 

I have not included the image files in these archives in order to keep their size relatively small.

 

I'll continue to post first drafts for review, with an image file if I can find a good one, so that everyone can read them right here on the board and provide feedback; but subsequent final draft posts I'll keep to file/archive downloads like these so this thread doesn't grow larger than it needs to be.

 

Enjoy!

John H

 

AJL 7.zip = Superman, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, J'onn J'onnz, Flash, Batman

0** 3) Tracers [Notes: I have absolutely no idea how to create these. They're tiny widgets (created by Gear) that Static can throw or place on an object or opponent and then track with his Living Radio or Electromagnetic Sense power from a range of several miles.]*

 

The way i have seen this done other places was with Images (+x to Radio Group) which would also apply to Static's Electromagnetic Sense (even though it isn't a Radio Group). Or you could make it so only his Electromagnetic Sense can "see" it.

 

Look up the "Homing Tracer" In Gadgets and Gear, p.119.

Re: Another Take on the Animated Justice League

 

SirViss and AlHazred,

 

Thanks for taking the time to review these, guys!

 

I don't have Gadgets and Gear or Dark Champions and won't until my latest bookcase projects are complete, which come after refinishing some tables and knick-knackery I have around the house. But I appreciate the suggestions; I'll take a look at those references as soon as I can.

Thanks for catching that. And I think Electromagnetic Sense ought to go into the Radio Group, now that you mention it.

Shebang "first draft"

 

Shebang is built on fewer points than Static and Gear, but I think this represents her demonstrated abilities fairly well. She has at least as much raw power as either of the boys, but nowhere near the flexibility or variability with which they can use their numerous abilities.

 

The attached image is the best one I could find of Shebang. Considering all her great action sequences on the show, it's pretty disappointing. Anyone have a better pic or screen grab to replace this one?

Ideally, I'd like to get Rubberband Man down to 350 points while still representing all the significant skills he demonstrated on the show, and increase his Disadvantages to 150 points.

 

Another fairly weak image. I'm surprised by the relative dearth of good Static Shock pictures available on the net.

Updated "final versions" files

 

Each archive file contains Hero Designer 2 files and HTML files for each character. Although Hero Designer 2 is required to view the .hdc files, you can read the .html files with any web browser.

 

AJL 7.zip = Superman, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, J'onn J'onnz, Flash, Batman

 

AJL Other Heroes.zip = Aquaman, Green Arrow, Supergirl, Captain Atom, Booster Gold, Skeets

 

New this message:

AJL Villains.zip = Giganta, Sinestro, Solomon Grundy, Star Sapphire, The Shade, Tsukuri

 

Final versions of Jason Blood/Etrigan and Orion will be coming soon. They will be added to the "AJL Other Heroes.zip" archive when they're ready.

 

I understand that some changes to the way Hero Designer handles Hand Attack will require a minor redesign of Hawkgirl. I'll put that up ASAP.

 

I'm kind of running out of steam with these characters. I'll probably do Ebon, then do final versions of the posted "Static Shock" characters, and that will be it. If you have any requests before I let this thread fade away, I'll try to fill them.

• I also would like to see your version of Captain Marvel/(Shazam) as if he were part of the animated series world as it relates to the current comics.

Hyper-Man,

 

 

I think I can give Dr. Fate a fair shake. His action has been limited so quite a bit will be speculation. A VPP will probably describe most of his powers other than teleport and flight.

 

On the other hand, I'm not sure where to begin with Captain Marvel. He's never appeared on the show, not even in the background I think, so I don't know where I'd set his power level or even his range of abilities. My comics reading ended shortly after DC's Crisis of Infinite Creative Laziness, so I'm familiar with the Carlton Captain Marvel, the Marvel Captain Marvel, and DC's Earth-C Captain Marvel through the mid-1980s. But I don't read the current comics, so I'd need to know some things:

-How does The Big Red Cheese's strength compare to Superman's?

-Similarly, how does his "invulnerability" compare to the Blue Boy Scout's?

-Ditto with speed.

-Has he been demonstrating any other powers besides being strong, tough, and flying? I've read Kingdom Come so I gather that Cap's converta-blast of magic lightning can be used as an attack. Anything else?

 

If we were talking the pre-Crisis Cap I'm confident I could do him some justice. As it is, I'd probably be more accurate with Hoppy the Marvel Bunny or Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew than with a DCAU version of Cap which has never appeared.

 

So I need some guidelines from you, Hyper-Man, if you'd like to see a Captain Marvel. I don't think I'd add him to the archive files when we're done with him, since those are just for characters that have appeared on the various DCAU TV shows.

 

Best wishes,

John H

[Hyper-Man]

Re: Another Take on the Animated Justice League

 

Kingdom Come is probably one of the best sources of information for a Cap vs. Supes comparison.

 

I am not that current on the comics either to be honest. I have seen an issue or 2 of Batman/Superman where Hawkman and Cap team up against Bats and Supes and it is said that Cap has won in a straight punch for punch contest against Supes?!? I think this might have been in a JL or Justice Society comic though.

 

I don't think Cap can quite match the Flash like Supes can but otherwise he is as fast, strong and tough as Supes. He just doesn't get Heat Vision or any of the truly 'Super-Senses'. He also doesn't have a problem with Red Solar radiation or Kryptonite which combined should balance out his power level somewhere either equal to or between Supes and Wonder Woman.

Rebuild of Hawkgirl with latest Hero Designer 2

 

Hyperman- I'll get to Dr. Fate along with Ebon in the next week or so. I might do Captain Marvel first since if he's basically "Superman w/o the vulnerabilities and super-senses and with a Billy Batson Multiform" he should be pretty easy to build.

 

The latest update to Hero Designer changed the way Hand Attacks are handled, so Hawkgirl needed to be slightly rebuilt. Let me know if you see anything egregiously wrong here so I can make the fixes within the next week or so.

Billy Batson/Captain Marvel

 

As far as I know, Captain Marvel has not appeared on any of the DCAU television shows – not even as a face in a crowd or a verbal reference. So this is all a flaming guess based on my old comics readings and best estimation as to how The Big Red Cheese compared to Superman. This pair of characters will not be added to the archive file collections but I'll be happy to make changes based on your feedback and then repost them.

 

Enjoy!

Hmm... Maybe Shazam! should be Linked to Magic Lightning instead of the other way around as shown above.

re: Billy Batson/Captain Marvel

 

I like it.

 

I don't think he has enough flight, very easily fixed with a simple flight multipower with a non-com/mega slot. I was somewhat suprised that you went with multiform as I always considered Captain Marvel/Billy Batson the perfect example of the OIHID limitation. Your take is elegant regardless.

 

Thanks!

Re: Another Take on the Animated Justice League

 

Yes this thread has come back...

 

I love these write ups. I seriously plan on using these characters as The JL that will exist in my world and JMHammer is the man and I plan on making sure my players know where I got them.

 

The only thing that I keep coming back to is Hawkgirl's mace. This is my take on it and I was wondering if you guys would toss up some input.

 

12 pts. Energy Mace - Basic:

Hand-To-Hand Attack +3d6, Variable Special Effects (Limited Group of SFX; PD or ED; +1/4), Ranged based on Str (+1/4), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (30 Active Points); OAF Unbreakable (-1), Hand-To-Hand Attack (-1/2)

 

40 pts. Energy Mace Arcana: Multipower, 60-point reserve, (60 Active Points); all slots OAF Unbreakable (-1/2)

6 m. Defensive Posture: Missile Deflection (Any Ranged Attack), +5 to Missile Reflection, Missile Reflection, Reflect At Any Target (60 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2), OAF Unbreakable (-1/2)

6 m. Weapon Weaving: +12 with HTH Combat (60 Active Points); Costs Endurance (-1/2), OAF Unbreakable (-1/2)

5 m. Energy Mace - Enhanced: Hand-To-Hand Attack +8d6, Variable Special Effects (Limited Group of SFX; PD or ED; +1/4), Ranged based on Str (+1/4) (60 Active Points); OAF Unbreakable (-1), Hand-To-Hand Attack (-1/2)

 

Yes that is 4d6 less than what she had but I'm thinking of giving her a couple of DC's in her martial arts. With that 15- Find Weakness I'm a little more okay with it. Oh and in case anyone is interested this did save 12 pts. Any points left over from the 525 will probably go into more maneuvers.
