So who are the other 5 richest people in MC?

[Enforcer84]

Many "City" books for the various Superhero games have a list of the top 10-20 richest people in town, leaving 4-5 spots open for NPC/PC created by the GM/Players. Looking through MC, though I couldn't find a list.

 

Here are 5 I have devised:

 

1) Donovan Bane: A multibillionare inventor/businessman. Donovan is a classic Lex Luthor type powermad congrol friek. Complete with two sexy assistants/Bodyguards and a hulking chauffeur. He has gone to great lengths to conceal both his criminal holdings and the fact that he is a mutant.

 

5) Danae Churchwell:

20 something heiress and blood relative of the Duchess. Danae gives generously to charity, hosts fundraisers and builds hospitals. She moved to Millenium city when she was 15 and now she's attending MCU.

Beautiful, intelligent, kind, she has a few quirks too. She's a hero groupie and has a secret 5000.00 a month comic book habit. She also collects Cartoon DVD (Champions TAS season 1 & 2 Baybee!). She would be ideal as a benefactor for a superteam but she dreams of being a hero herself.

 

10) Takiro Yamamoto. Founder and CEO of Blue Oni Entertainment, Mr. Yamamoto made his fortune developing video games, particularly the specacularly graphical RPG series "Sword of Angels". Taking some hits from critics for being to flashy with out the solid story lines of its progenator, SoA is on its sixth installment. BOE also is unique in that it is a very japanese company based in the US. They release games in America and Japanese simultaneously. Recently Mr. Yamamoto has made two decisions that have gretly impacted the company, he has started development on the SoA MMORPG, something he was loath to do before but now sees as a viable option (perhaps because rival Squaresoft did the same). Secondly, BOE bought the rights to a cheesey 70's kung fu flick took it framy by frame and used their remarkable CG technology to enhance the film, eliminating croping errors, adding special effects, giving it lavish colors and back grounds, then redubbing the whole thing with his fine translation department. The film, renamed Fist of the Invincible Shaolin, went straight to DVD and sold like gangbusters. They have decided to try it again and have been buying the rights to several old kung fu films.

 

15) Reed Collier: CEO of Hybrid Automotive, a surprisingly lucrative company that produced the first Feul-Cell based automobiles to America shortly after the rebuilding began in MC. Endorsed by both the Clinton and Bush administrations as a model of American Ingenuity, Collier's cars have become the fastest selling new vehicles in the world. This has earned him the wrath of both Big Oil and the Big three Automakers. He fears, and rightly so, that some near fatal "accidents" on his part have not been accidents at all.

 

20) Shane McWilliams; not a popular man but he has made a fortune with internet pornography and adult DVD & Video Sales. He started the "Superhuman Parody" genre and has been raking it in ever since. BTW, Shane McWilliams is not his real name. He may or may not be something more sinister than he appears.

 

 

How about you guys?

Interesting, I'll have to go look.

Frankly, I don't mind it though. It leaves spots for PCs.

I am fairly sure that Franklin Stone, president and CEO of Advanced Concepts Industries (ACI) is the Champions Universe version of Lex Luthor.

I'd have to agree, but there's always room for Wilson Fisk and Justin Hammer. I've always felt that the Champions Universe lacked comic book staple "Robber Barons"; it's good to see some finally cropping up.
