Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members

 

One of the GURPS Supers products dealt with the Exchange which was basically a telephone service that got jobs for villains. I took the idea and ran with it.

 

The Magnate was looking for an idea to launch his villain career when he came upon the GURPS supplement which listed The Exchange. He decided to make this a reality. After setting this up and selecting several villains as clients he began to look for ways to expand the business. He decided to create a supervillain team or two and so was born CRISIS MANAGEMENT.

 

CRISIS is composed of

Corporate Giant. A shape changing business man brick

Radey Ayte. Radiation emitting energy projector.

Ion Storm. Another Energy projector whose power works on the atomic level

Stone Cold. A gun wielding semi-Vampire

Ironfist. The martial artist

Supercharger. Armour wearing speedster

 

MANAGEMENT is composed of

Metal Man. The all metal being with great strength

Avarice. The female greedy martial artist

Nyx. Female dark producing energy projector

Afterburner. Fast flyer and enbergy projector

Gigavolt. Electric producer

Ebola. Disease producing woman

Merlin. He dresses like Merlin and acts like him. He can produce some odd magical effects

Elastic Man. Stretcher with a punch.

Nox. A mystery woman

Toxin. A poisonous individual.

 

The Exchange also runs a consulting service to help villains set up superteams. The well known villain The Immortal (a brick) used them to set up a team that he could work with.

Celtic Bolt was chosen for his speed

Crimson Storm for her flight and energy projection abilities

Cybermind for his computing skills

Minerva for her versistility in team support

Preceptor for his martial arts abilities

Troublshooter for his gun wielding skills

X1 for his flight and recon skills.

The Immortal also specified no psychopaths and racists. In this he was well served.

Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members

 

Only problem running with acronyms of character's names, is that it seriously limits you if you need replacement parts...

[Powerhouse]

Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members

 

I tend to do more writing and creating than playing. Also, I'm always tinkering with the continuity and characters. With that in mind, here some some teams and their characters:

 

Silver Knights: world's greatest heroes (basically the JLA/Avengers). Its membership has varied and have included at one point or another:

1. Lady Silver: powerful sorceress and often team leader- known as much for her compassion as her powers

 

2. Nova: alien warrior with a temper as fierce as her energy bolts

 

3. Starknight: endowed with the energy powers and armor of one of the galaxy's Celestial Paladins, this incredibly skilled warrior is one of Earth's greatest defenders and she knows it!

 

4. Sentinel: one of America's best commandos who still wonders who the heck he honked off enough to make him babysit the spandex crew. No powers but a soldier and tactician of the first order

 

5. Tyr: Norse god of justice, truth, and war- he is only one of two known survivors of Ragnorak. His prowess in battle and power of sinew is is surpassed only by the strength of his unbreakable word.

 

6. Titan: prince of a small by technological advanced African nation. His incredible intellect has let him craft an advanced suit of armor that few can stand against. He is a modern knight and the empitome of nobility.

 

(The first six are founding members. A seventh hero, Stalker, chose to only be an associate and continue his battle against street crime).

 

7. Speedemon: super speedster and C-level actor who'd rather used his powers to land a movie role.

 

8. Lodestar: magnetic powerhouse- personality in flux but mostly an average joe who wants to give back to the community- helps to keep the team grounded.

 

9. (needs name- help would be appreciated): reluctant hero and associate member mostly. A marine biologist gifted/cursed with aquatic powers. A loner, she prefers to spend her time in research, exploring the oceans, and raising her daughter.

 

10. Steel Crystheum (sp): Japanese steel-skinned brick and former reluctant metahuman terrorist who joined the team to seek redemption.

 

11. El Aquilla (the Eagle): martial artist from the barrio with a hearty laugh, case of overconfidence, and a closely guarded secret.

 

12. Psi-blade: a living weapon who combines martial arts, telepathy, and psycho-kinetic energy into a deadly fusion. Yet, his telepathy allows him to know of his opponent's suffering and he seeks the way of peace in a troubled world as he dodges the mysterious organization that trained him.

 

13. Nightshade: elven assassin from another world with special skills and wards against magic. A killer seeking a new way in a strange world.

 

That's it for now. I have an idea for an apprentice for Lady Silver who could take her place on the team but that gives you an idea.

[Powerhouse]

Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members

 

Here's a little history lesson from my world's golden age:

 

American Legion:

 

1. Patriot: costumed soldier who lacked powers but is a patriotic soldier who is dedicated to smashing the Axis.

 

2. Lady Victory: a blonde beauty with the ability to throw tanks and bounce bullets off her skin. Her perky and bubbly exterior hides both a shrewd intellect and a deep frustration that she is considered the "little lady" despite being the team's most powerful member.

 

3. American Eagle: masked avenger of the United States with wind manipulating powers.

 

4. Living Comet: the world's first "true" superhero. Can fly, fling fireballs, lift several tons, and is almost as durable as Lady Victory.

 

5. Dr. Mystic: stage magician who may or may not have real magic powers (a magician never tells his secrets...) Top hat, cane, and tux: flamboyant.

 

6. Blue Bolt: speedster: a speedster.

 

An associate member is Dreadnaught: a British sailor who was empowered by a spirit of Britain that emphasizes its naval power: armor, great strength, life support, and ability to swim despite his great weight.

 

 

Another golden ager is Revenant: a normal left for dead by a mobster. He trained himself and came back as a two-fisted, gun-wielding vigilante. He pretends to be an avenging spirit and works hard to maintain that illusion. His act and mastery of scare tactics has literally scared several criminals to death.

[Powerhouse]

Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members

 

From my world's Silver Age: the world's greatest heroes of THAT age, the Crusaders of Justice. I patterned them very specifically after well known Silver Age heroes of both JLA and the Avengers:

 

1. Doctor Atomic: world's greatest and most powerful superhero, with the abilities of the atom itself. He can fly, project atomic blasts, shrug off most attacks, and is enormously strong. As time passes, he also learns to re-arrange matter, project atomic energy in many ways, and even split into two forms! (Basically, the world's Superman)

 

2. Crimson Archer: grim avenger of the night who stand shoulder to shoulder with gods with only the skill of his archery, speed of his wit, and strength of his well honed body. (A mix of Batman and Green Arrow/Hawkeye).

 

3. Athena: wise, strong, skilled, and beautiful- the greatest heroine alive and avatar of the Greek goddess. Armed with mystic hemet, shield, spear, and breastplate she is a nearly unstoppable warrior with knowledge that spans the ages (a mix of Wonder Woman, Thor, Captain Marvel, and even some Spiderman secret ID angst).

 

4. Sunturion (current name): former ace pilot and astronaut, now solar powered protector of Earth with the power of the sun (teams ups between him and Doctor Atomic are unofficial referred to as "Fission and Fusion." He can project solar blasts, blind opponents, manipulate gravity (even on his own fist for devestating blows), alter his density, and of course fly. Overconfident to the extreme and is a sucker for a pretty woman. Unknown to him is the dark shadow following this bright hero. (Basically Hal Jordan Green Lantern with Birdman's powers/weaknesses)

 

5. Hornet: biochemist with an interest in insects- a lab explosion left him with great strength and agility, the ability to stick to walls, bio energy blasts, and the ability to shrink to insect size (at which point he can fly). Very upbeat and a true blue hero (Spiderman/Henry Pym/Atom)

 

6. Blue Bolt II: a young hero who developed speed powers and patterns his budding career after his golded age hero. Insecure and still immature, he looks up to Hornet as a big brother.

 

7. Glamour: british mystic specializing in illusions. Devestating beautiful and sexy (how she gets past the Comic Book Code, no one knows) who loves to flirt and never seems too serious. (Zatanna/Scarlet Witch)

 

8. Stranger: visitor from an alien world who forsook his own people to warn Earth of invasion. He can alter his molecular structure and form to match any living thing that he has encountered and study. Known shapes include a rockman, feral beast, rubbery creature, and a wraith-like form that can phase, float, and attack with a phase-shift attack. (Martian Manhunter/Vision)

 

From the Bronze Age:

 

1. Aquarian: warrior from Atlantis with a temper to match his fiery red hair. Proud but honorable, he was sent to serve with the Crusaders to forment peace between the worlds above and below the sea. He does not like it but seeks to adapt and have a good time when he can (he loves drinking and bar brawls). (Aquaman/Submariner with a bit of Hercules tossed in)

 

2. Black Eagle: a relative of American Eagle, he is a proud young black man with a chip on his shoulder, the same wind powers as American Eagle, and a desire to change the system. Also has a strange penchant to use street slang even though he is a well-read and educated young man. (Black Lightning/Falcon)

 

3. Dragon: Caucasian martial artist trained in many secrets in the Orient. Quiet and contemplative- often acts as a mediator among the other Crusaders. Much later in his career he would lose his sight during battle and had a bout with alcholism. He would eventually pull himself together and gain new insight that lets him percieve the world in a way that more than overcomes his blindness. (Shang-Chi/Iron Fist/Daredevil/Richard Dragon Kung fu Fighter)

 

4. Nightingale: to be covered more fully elsewhere- a singer who gained vocal sonic powers in a freak accident (Black Canary). Her story is one that takes her from young girl to a strong woman and well regarded hero.

[Powerhouse]

Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members

 

What's a hero team without a bunch of hostages... I mean sidekicks! So here are the Teen Crusaders (a bonze age creation so there is more diversity and some angst):

 

1. Spirit Bow (Crimson Archer): Indian archer with spiritual gifts that let her see mystic items, planes, and persons. Leader of the Teen Crusaders. Driven, persistant, and stubborn: just like her mentor!

 

2. Atomic Kid (Doctor Atomic): a much lower powered version of Doctor Atomic in part because if he uses too much of his powers, he can leak radiation. He lacks the more exotic abilities of his mentor but can create atomic blasts, fly, and has significant strength/durability. He might have to wear a radiation suit and might even be from the same Soviet program that created the nuclear powered Captain Communism

 

3. Kid Bolt (yeah, I hate the name too- I'm tired and there are some characters I haven't really fleshed out) (Blue Bolt)- super speedster who has to eat constantly due to the calories he burns. Hyperactive and grating. The youngest and always eager to prove himself/one-up the others.

 

4. Cascade (Aquarian): spoiler princess of Atlantis who ran away. Besides having signficant strength and underwater survival powers, she can also manipulate water.

 

Those are the only ones I can think of now. There would be two others but whether they are sidekicks or more like the new characters introduced by Perez and Wolfman for the New Teen Titans who lacked affiliations with the older heroes, who knows?

 

That's enough for tonight. I hope everyone enjoyed or at least wasn't too bored. If anyone needs some cannon fodder, please feel free to adapt them for your own game although I ask that you not use them (HIGHLY unlikely that it is) for a published product. Yeah, it won't happen but felt the need to add. Besides, alot of them are based on other characters (deliberately) already.

[Dr. Hercules]

Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members

Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members

 

Running a new game since my last post in here.

 

The current team is unnamed, being a loose collection of acquaintances and partners by circumstance rather than an actual team.

 

Mr. Wise - Solomon Wise. Old, understated mystic. Split off of the Watchers of the Void to deal with smaller less world-shaking mystic threats which they tended to ignore. Calls the group together when they are needed, mentors most of them when things are peaceful.

- Pang - His mandatory stereotypical asian assistant. Knows far more than he seems.

 

Sephiroth - Kabbalistic mystic, with a personality based on The Hebrew Hammer.

 

Dr. Mystic - Generic Comic book mystic, studied magic as a career choice. Talks like Dr. Orpheus from The Venture Brothers.

 

Dr. Halloween - Haitian vodoun. Aided the group in dealing with the raggedy infernal sorcerer, Ragamuffin.

 

Patches - Uberbrick Free-willed Zombie. Former supervillain Black Guard during the 50's, provoked renown boyscout superhero, Captain Dynamo to kill him during a confrontation. Was raised as a zombie by the team mystic, Dr. Orichalcum. Has since reptented his ways and is trying to reform. Dr. Wise currently possesses the ring that reigns him in, if he gets out of hand.

 

Valour - Atavism of... Valour. Pure human emotion given form and sentience. Currently looking for his sister, Faith.

[The Main Man]

Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members

 

The Fantastic Uniters (FU)

- Boogeyman - Dark, brooding vigilante armed to the teeth with gadgets and is resourceful as hell (has a VPP to simulate Super-Skills). The veteran of the team.

 

- Movieman - A strange being that only speaks in movie lines of dialogue and can only perform feats as seen in movies. A newcomer after a campaign refreshment.

 

- Dinoman - A collage of dinosaur features, including sheer size. An older character that has been rejuvenated after the previously mentioned campaign refreshment.

 

- Druid - Resident magic user. Rich, eccentric, and cousin to Boogeyman.

 

Reserves

- Archmage (player off to far-off college) - Very powerful mage adorned with none other than the Dragon Crown of Takofanes (storyline related - the "Archmage" part is unofficial, it being sheer arrogance on his part to call himself such)

 

- Robot (another member studying abroad)- A former robotic minion of an obscure supervillian, it is now the base of the FU itself, complete with A.I. system, vehicular transformation and secret (to the players) giant form (a Transformer basically). It has avatars that roam about in the base, but they are essentially there for whenever this player actually manages to drop in (which does happen in small spurts here and there).

 

- Purple Haze (soon to be in Copenhagen)- THC incarnate, he is out to show positive aspects of marijuana, namely by fighting crime using the effects of THC intoxication on his foes.

 

- Bubble Baron (when I actually get to play) - Urban metalhead that can transform into a being with a body of bubblegum by simply chewing on a stick of bubblegum. Comes with special powers and weaknesses depending on flavor.

 

Former Members:

- Collage - Energy projector with color-coded blasts.

- Titan-X - Growing brick. Was killed in a battle with Takofanes, which led to his mysterious transformation into Archmage.

- Hulk Hogan - None other than the hulkster himself, brother! He would frequently reminisce, and he would bring the fight to the bad guys, dude! What did they do? What did the villains do, when Hulkamania ran wild on them? They cowered in fear from his vicious 60 PRE (after Aid power) and were laid waste to with a big boot and the leg drop brother just like he did against the Macho Man Randy Savage at Trump Plaza! (this was the same player as Purple Haze, and no session with Hulk Hogan was complete until he cut a promo, which frequently earned him some good XP).

- Jutsuka - A Shamballah-trained martial artist with many a chi-related power trick up his sleeve, most prominently super-speed. He was lost in a universal shift.

- Neko - Hatuko (F.L.C.L.) + Lobo (D.C. Comics) = Neko! Lost much of her powers in previously mentioned universal shift. She is now a much more sedate tech girl for the team and is more of an NPC.

Justicar - gun-wielding vigilante from a world like that of the Watchmen. She is a GMNPC because there were only five players.

 

Since the start of the campaign, Lacustos had dropped off on a fantasy world in which water was very important and was replaced in the next stop by Master Orange, a mutant inventor type with a natural force field and various light-based technology. Then the team found themselves on a world which was almost identical to the one Justicar came from, except in that one she was killed by gangster hitmen. She ended up staying there and was replaced in the next world by Rhyanna Sen Tairngaire, a Shadowrun elf combat mage.

 

In the previous campaign for the same group, it was set in the 1950s in Chicago and the core team consisted of:

 

Argent - powerful but slow psychic type (both mental and physical)

Golden Warrior - Former Nazi hero who switched sides after she saw some of the deathcamps. Essentially an embodied valkyrie, complete with winged horse.

Steel Wind - Nisei swordmaster

Sequin - World class gadgeteer

Scarlet Avenger - Ghost enabled by Hell to mark the damned for future reference

Bronze Spectre - essentially the Martian (actually Skrull, but he was born on Mars) Manhunter in his very early years, before he settled down into being John Jones.

Re: List of Forum Members - Super Teams & Members

 

I can't tell you anything about the characters played by Steve or Darrin, but the original Hero gang had several campaigns. The central campaign was George MacDonald's Guardians campaign, set in New York. Membership consisted of, as I recall,

 

Icestar, classic wise-cracking ice projector, played by Glenn Thain. Glenn also played The Hornet in the same campaign, an insect-powered mini-brick who later became a shrinker.

 

Marksman, sarcastic sharpshooter with his signature sonic rifle, played by Bruce Harlick.

 

Flare, classic fire-projecting product of Nazi genetic breeding, played by Stacy Lawrence-Thain.

 

Hunter, grandson of Doc Savage, played by Steve Peterson. Steve also played Goliath, who was initially just a strongman but later became a growth brick.

 

Rose, teleporting mentalist, played by Tom Toomey.

 

Gargoyle, bizarre flying brick, played by Mark Williams.

 

Force, battlesuited master of kinetic force, played by Steve Goodman.

 

And other players and characters wandered in and out of the group. But these were the ones you saw on the covers and interiors of many of the early Champions books.
