teh bunneh Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Is there someone in the CU who has similar powers to Shazam/Captain Marvel? Great strength, speed, wisdom, stamina, the ability to fly, powerful senses? Superman without all the extras? I'm not talking personality-wise, just powers. Good guy or bad guy, doesn't matter. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpira Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: CU question Well there is Archon from The Hidden Lands Page 58. He has flight, 60 str and keen senses (which are basically a bonus to perception). Not sure if he's what you are looking for though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpira Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: CU question Man. I forgot all about Charm Girl. Charm Girl is pretty strong (actually stronger than Archon) and with a better flight speed and some above average defenses. YOu can find her on page 76 of Champions Worldwide.

Enforcer84 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: CU question Charm Girl Archon I believe Albion and maybe Hyperion of Great Britton have a similar powerset, but they've not been statted out so I can't be certain.

OddHat Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: CU question In addition to the above, the standard Strong Emperyan is Superman without all the extras. Also, Viperia has practically the whole Kryptonian power set. Supernova(?) from Galactic Champions has close to the full Silver Age Superman power set, depending on how you allow him to use his VPP.

Thanks! In the 1994 Golden Agen Champions on pages 113-114 is Captain Atlas who is a Captain Marvel clone/homage. His "change word" is "Lollapalooza!" though. He's built on 516 points.

teh bunneh Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: CU question Thanks for the help, alls y'alls. I think Archon will work perfectly (and I even have Hidden Lands! w00t!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: CU question The impression I got from remarks in CU and from Darren Watts here on the boards is that Vanguard, formerly of the Justice Squadron superteam, was the CU's Superman analog. Unfortunately he perished demolishing the asteroids that Dr. Destroyer was trying to crash into the United States. I guess we'll have to wait until Darren gets around to writing Silver Age Champions before we get to see him. Here's what Darren had to say about him: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?p=451510 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: CU question I forget if she has super senses, but Megaera of the MC-8 might also work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: CU question Also' date=' Viperia has practically the whole Kryptonian power set.[/quote'] You know, according to VIPER: Coils Of The Serpent, Viperia's father Nama has one other unspecified offspring, not necessarily a villain...
