Ultimate Six (Con Game II)

[Eyendasky80]

These are my write-ups for Norman Osborn and his cell-mates featured in the mini-series Ultimate Six. The surprise sixth member who participated in the assault on the White House was Spider-Man himself, forced to follow Osborn who threatened to kill his loved ones if he didn't. This time around, he's not falling in line so there's actually only five members of the six, but I'm playing around with adding another out of Spidey's enemies.

 

These are the "Ultimate" versions of the villains.

 

If you plan on participating in this game at KublaCon, you may want to consider not reading this thread. It's okay if you do, but I'll be a little suspicious if you start reading off their disadvantages from your notebook. Anyone familar with the comics would know them anyway, so it's no big deal if you peek.

 

As I mentioned in my earlier thread, Norman Osborn has come out of the coma The Ultimates put him in and he's escaped The Triskellion. On his way out the door, he loosed every major threat housed there. He's teamed up with Magneto and it's up to Spider-Man and the X-Men to track them down and thwart their evil plan.

Are you sure it should not be a "shapeshift" single form ??

AFAIK you cannot use a transform on yourself.

That's how you build Instant Change now. He barely changes at all and his entire personality is still intact so I went with the Only in Hero ID and Instant Change as opposed to a complete multiform.

 

It's just cosmetic. SFX and all.

IIRC (check Rev. Fred) the limitation on Instant Change is "Own clothes only" so it should normally be used only for clothes and the like not for self. I don't know U6 yet (and besides, can Kraven be "reverted" to his human form ? it's a condition for the use of OIHID)

Literally, he grows hair, but it's basically a costume change and SFX is more important than literal interpretation.

 

Yes he can be reverted to his human form. In the Ultimate 'verse, anyone who's genetics shift when they activate their powers (such as Electro, Goblin, Kraven and Sandman) is susceptible to S.H.I.E.L.D. weaponry which zaps them back to normal. Even folk like Spidey who don't have an obvious change occur can have their powers temporarily wammied by S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm not sure about Mutants, they're certainly immune to any weapons designed for humans with altered genetics, but S.H.I.E.L.D. probably has some other doodad for them.

 

I don't have the rule book handy, but I can't see anything wrong with the build. If you change hair to power armor you've got the old standard right there.

Re: Ultimate Six (Con Game II)

 

If it's just a cosmetic change I don't think you'd need any power representation at all. The "only in beast form" limitation on the power set pretty much implies a change in form, so I'd just leave it at that. Maybe a limited Distinctive Features disad, too. Maybe.

 

EDIT: Forgot to add...nice write-ups!

You could be right, but he grows his hair pretty fast, shouldn't I have Instant Change to represent that? Like Donald Blake striking his walking stick on the ground?

 

Thanks!

This isn't how you do it anymore. If you change appearence as part of the SFX of your powers, it's free.

Donald Blake has Only in Hero ID on all his powers & striking his stick on the ground is the way he changes. He does not have to buy a seperate power. Thor, Shazaam, the Power Rangers, etc all get their form changes as part of the SFX of having only in hero ID. The reasoning is that you shouldn't need to buy a power in order to make a disadvantage functional.

 

Instant change is now reserved for people whose powers actually include changing what their cloathing looks like (Power Pack, Venom) or who can change in and out of costume as a free action (The Flash).

Thank you, I didn't know that. I'll ditch the transform, then.

Re: Ultimate Six (Con Game II)

 

about doc ock why is the VPP for tentecle attachments on him instead of the arms where the powers are located?

[Eyendasky80]

Re: Ultimate Six (Con Game II)

 

He operates the attachments and controls them. Also, as often as the arms have operated by themselves, I've never seen them utilize the gadget pool.

 

And a VPP on a follower seems pretty cheeseball to me.

Re: Ultimate Six (Con Game II)

 

Here are a couple of thoughts, even if late:

 

1. Doctor Octopus

 

I'm not sure that Damage Reduction is appropriate for Doc Ock. Has Doc Ock ever showed that kind of resilience in the Ultimate Universe? His effective PD is better than the Sand Man's, and that doesn't seem right to me. If you want Doc Ock to last longer, you could boost those DCV levels and increase his PD a little.

 

Damage Reduction is very powerful, and I don't see it being right for Doc Ock.

 

You may want to give the tentacles a couple of levels. Those tentacles have a pretty decent chance of hitting Spidey (a little less than 50%) but not infintesimal.

 

Reconsider having the tentacles taking x2 BODY from electricity. I could see Doc Ock taking some extra stun from electricity but those tentacles are tough. Have the tentacles ever gotten melted by electricity?

 

2. Sandman

 

The Sand Man's physical blows nearly took out Iron Man! He should probably do more damage than 11d6.

 

3. Electro

 

Shouldn't Electo have some extra defenses against electricity?

That's reasonable, all I can really say is I intended it to represent that without his tentacles, he's just a regular science nerd. With them, he seems to be able to take a lot of punishment, maybe it would be better to buy his extra defense as a personal forcewall? I'll look him over again.

Maybe, I guess I could. Originally I was thinking of making the arms a vehicle and Ock the pilot. I thought Combat Driving skill would help with that. But now that it's a follower I guess I should change it.

I agree. I'll change that. Doc definitely gets fried when the tentacles get zapped.

2. Sandman

I'd feel better about giving him find weakness for seeping through IM's cracks. (that sounds bad) He doesn't strike me as all that powerful, he just didn't do a whole lot. I'll give him another look.

3. Electro

 

Shouldn't Electo have some extra defenses against electricity?

 

Thor whooped his ass with a lightning bolt, but he could I guess.

 

I very much appreciate your opinion and it's not too late. I'd be happy for as much help as is offered.
