hooligan x Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I was doodling with leftover heroclix parts and ended up with a Hitler-in-a-jar figure. I have a PC in my group who is a Golden Age hero now living in 2056, so my players are clamoring to kick some Nazi ass. So, what's your best Hitler-in-a-jar plot?

Edsel Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jar It is obviously a Hitler cloning factory. At least we found copy 21C while he was still in his jar! That makes people worry about the empty jars that they find labeled 1A through 20C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assault Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jar So' date=' what's your best Hitler-in-a-jar plot?[/quote'] My favourite plot is "borrowed" from The Golden Age, a DC limited series from a few years ago, potentially crossed over with the scene in this post: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=540414&postcount=12 Basically, you have another infiltrator already in a strategically chosen body. He/she/it becomes the world's most popular/prominent superhuman, and eventually acquires a suitable body for Hitler. At some point, you start dropping hints to the PCs that not all is as it seems. Take your time about advancing the plot. Eventually, things hit the fan with a vengeance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jar Do you have a major NPC hero in your campaign world? Very popular, universally respected, rumors of political ambitions? Let your PCs stumble across the hints of neo-Nazi genetics experiments, find the lab, find a series of preserved bodies of Hitler clones. Each one shows signs of experimentation in attempted superhuman augmentation. The most recent body in the series is identical to the NPC hero. Of course immediately afterward the lab self-destructs, eliminating the evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbdaury Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jar Do you have a major NPC hero in your campaign world?

Each one shows signs of experimentation in attempted superhuman augmentation. The most recent body in the series is identical to the NPC hero. Of course immediately afterward the lab self-destructs, eliminating the evidence. And that brings me to the evil idea that your post inspired in me: "What if the heroes confront the NPC, only to have him admit that he is the clone of Adolph Hitler and that in the years and the lives he's led since WWII, he's come to see the folly of his ways and his heroics are a way of atoning for the all the evil he's done. And, to make it worse, he was provided with these bodies over the years by a secret Nazi group that now realiz3es what he has become and want to replace him with a cloned brain of Hitler that HASN'T spent the last 60 years growing it a real human! What do they do- do they protect Hitler, from Hitler? Do they go public? What do they do?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh bunneh Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jar I don't like Hitler in a jar. I prefer my Hitler fresh. It preserves more of the nutrients, and the taste is too good for words. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyMitchell Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jarBoy, does this bring back memories. I had an old Captain America comic years and years ago where Hitler's brain had been preserved and implanted in a superpowered body, genetically engineered by Neo-Nazis. Fit nicely with Cap's history (he did, after all, fight the Nazis in WWII). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just lay back and enjoy [Cue the Porn music!] I only came in here because everytime I see the title the Metallica version of "Whiskey in a Jar" starts playing in my head.

Red Knight Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jar There was a comic arc that dealt with Hitler's brain and a plot to implant it in the body of the Shaggy Man (DC Universe).. The Shaggy Man is an almost unstoppable fighting machine. It would get nasty. I ran a similair theme in an adventure using Mechanon. Basic idea was that a scientist arrives in town and claims to have designed a detention facility to hold Mechanon indefinitely. It consisted of a concrete bunker with a computer system that could download Mechanon's brain into a mainframe. Once there, the it would be put into a perpetual loop. The catch was that the scientist was actually working with Mechanon and when UNTIL finally caught Mechanon and "imprisioned" him they found to their horror that the "isolated computer prison" was actually linked to the city's data web. The bunker was not designed to keep Mechanon in... It was designed to keep UNTIL out. Needless to say chaos ensued and Mechanon got some nice playtime...

Battlestaff Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jar There was a B-movie about this, They Saved Hitler's Brain. With any brain-in-a-jar, to make them viable characters, you will either have to (a) implant them into a suitable body, or ( turn them into an evil mastermind. I think part (a) has been handled pretty well in the previous posts. Part ( would basically require that the brain have a form of communication with the outside world, and a cadre of people loyal to doing whatever the brain suggested. These could be scientists working on genetic manipulation, scientists continuing with the depraved medical experiments of the Third Reich, or scientists involved in creating a body to implant the brain in (or all three, depending on resources). These could be loyal Nazi's willing to wait until the time is right to bring about the return of their glorious leader, or even new agents that don't realize the person giving them orders is just a puppet for the real Hitler. I did like the idea of what if they cloned the brain. Where are the others, and why was this one not used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkham Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jar In my universe, the Nazi party fled to Mars to rebuild, saving some genetic data from Hitler. Since then they have cloned him multiple times so that their entire Ruling Council is now called the Council of Hitler. One of their technical experts is a mentalist scientist brain-in- a-jar called just 'The Brain'. He engineers/clones/steals bodies and has his entire Jar placed where the head/neck should be. Just my ramble on the subject... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrakazog Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jar The Hitler-In-Jar could just be a plot device. Some master neo-Nazi villain wants Hitler's brain to merge with his own, or something. The players have to keep him from obtaining said brain.

Ghost who Walks Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Re: Hitler in a jar Ripped off from the Star Trek episode where they swiped Spock's brain... Hitler gets abducted by aliens, who want him to defend their war against an alien invader. Hitler's brain is doing a great job defending the planet, controlling a vast automated weapons system. Hitler is hooked up to to the super-computer, you see, and also broadcasts "victory reports" (shameless propaganda) ehenever he destroys something. My players loved this one. They could either indulge their urge to kill Hitler and help destroy an entire race, or do nothing. They surprised me, and worked to end the reason for the alien invasion, then persuaded the aliens to turn over Hitler's brain for trial on Earth. Hitler hired Johnny Cochrane as his lawyer, whose defense was that Hitler's brain was not in control of his body when the crimes were committed...and was thus innocent.

As big a control-freak megalomaniac that Hitler was, I would hate to be in one of these council meetings. Can you imagine if these guys ever got into a heated disagreement?
