Background/History: Joe Kerns was a street thug with aspirations of greatness. Whenever word of a costumed villain looking for henchmen came down the pike, he was there.

This got him several smaller jail sentences and a few trips to the hospital. And when Dr. Armageddon hired him it eventually led to the creation of one of the most feared, powerful beings on the planet.

 

The explosion that transformed Joe into the Behemoth was a result of heroic interference. Dr Armageddon's ocean base went up in a bright flash, though he escaped, the team of heroes, Asia’s Golden Patrol, was all slain.

 

The transformation allowed Joe to survive the explosion, he went on an extensive rampage through the Hawaiian Islands before being halted by the combined might of the Crown of Jade (a loose knit Polynesian team) and the son of Thor, Magni; who happened to be in the area on a sightseeing journey to far east.

 

Kerns received the name Behemoth from the newspapers in America where he surfaced in Boston and fought local hero Powerman. Powerman held Behemoth at bay for several minutes as Boston's other heroes rallied and pulled together; he later died from the injuries he received. This led to the creation of the New England based super team, the Avengers.

 

It is theorized that Behemoth can resume a human form, as he disappears for several months at a time and pops up in various spots around the world. He has battled Herakles in Europe, Atlas in Indonesia and New York, Blackguard in Poland, Deathmetal and Pariah in Florida....he has worked for a few master villains, and once was seen guarding what turned out to be a shipment of technology for the ARMORY.

 

Personality/Motivation: Behemoth has hit the big time and he is unwilling to let go. He loves using his might and has no problem with mass destruction or collateral damage. He seems obsessed with fighting the strongest warriors in the world (and seems to be rather sexist in his ranking system) and prove himself superior.

 

Beyond that, he likes money and the highlife and as long as he is treated with the respect he feels he's due, he can work well with others.

 

Quote: Come on! Get up! You can't be dead yet!

 

Powers/Tactics: Uh Smash? Though he has the Power: Brick Tricks skill, and a nice list of powers to choose from, Behemoth is almost completely a straight up brick in practice. He uses his Thunderclap and Shockwave when fighting teams, and will break out the tricky stuff if he feels they will demoralize his opposition. He loves to play with his opponents.

 

If confronted by a strongman, he'll simply trade blows and insults with them unless they prove powerful or cagey enough that he feels he needs to take advantage of his tricks of the trade.

Campaign Use: The Ultimate Antagonist. Behemoth doesn't see the world in "Good" and "Evil" more like in terms of "Will Pay Me" and "I wanna crush". Anyone who can stand up to him (and individuals in this class are rare) is regarded with unfettered ire (and possibly fear) with a twinge of respect.

 

Appearance: When he was a human (and if he can assume a human form again) Joe Kerns was about 6'2'' 220lbs of muscle and snarl. He had short black hair and a perma-scowl.

 

Behemoth is an over-muscled giant with scaly skin that is the color of dried blood. His head has an amphibious/demonic appearance with a ridged brow and a nascent nose; he has sharpened teeth, red eyes, and backward sweeping horns. He wears what appears to be black leather biker gear.

2u**2) Bearhug:**EB 6d6' date=' NND (defense is Life Support [self-Contained Breathing']; +1) (60 Active Points); Must Follow Grab (-1/2), No Range (-1/2), Requires A Brick Tricks Roll (-1/2), Side Effects (if character fails roll, opponent takes character's full STR damage; -1/4) 6

 

Never liked this construct myself - crushing the opponent, but it can't do BOD, makes no sense to me. I also dislike the Side Effect, on the basis that it allows the character to inflict full STR damage without rolling the required to hit roll, and at a cost of only 6 END. That's easy to fix in the interpretation, though.

 

4u**5) Crushing Grip:**RKA 2d6' date=' NND (defense is any sort of rigid Resistant PD or Lack Of Weakness for Resistant Defenses; +1), Does BODY (+1) (90 Active Points); Must Follow Grab (-1/2), No Range (-1/2), Requires A Brick Tricks Roll (-1/2) 9[/quote']

 

This one bugs me as well. So he can Crush the Rubber Man with +60 PD, resistant, soft body, but not the guy with +5 rPD, Suit of Armour?

 

3u**8) Super-Strength Smash-Through:**Tunneling 1" through 18 DEF material (56 Active Points); Requires A Brick Tricks Roll (-1/2)' date=' No Noncombat Movement (-1/4) 6[/quote']

 

This type of construct I've always liked. Isn't there a "can't fill the hole" limitation?

 

2**Stratospheric Punch:**MegaScale (1" = 1 km; +1/4) for up to 60 Active Points of STR (15 Active Points); Increased Endurance Cost (x10 END; -4)' date=' Only Affects Knockback Distance (-1/2), Requires A Brick Tricks Roll (-1/2) 10[/quote']

 

This one depends on the campaign - seems silly to me, but if it fits, it fits. I'm not sure about that "only affects KB distance" - what else would it affect? An AoE EB with Megascale gets either Range or Area megascaled, so I think the default is that MS only affects one thing anyway.

 

23**8) Resilient Healing:**Healing 2d6' date=' any one Characteristic other than BODY, END, or STUN at a time (+1/4), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (35 Active Points); Self Only (-1/2)[/quote']

 

I'd probably put some reduced reuse duration on this. Mind you, I'd also consider building it as a Regeneration construct, and maybe for all stats other than BOD, END or STUN to simulate rapid recovery from adjustment powers.

 

5**Off Shore Accounts and a 401k:**Money: Well Off

 

How does a guy like this access his bank accounts? Oh well - it's comic books!

 

20**Hunted: Terra Guard 8- (Mo Pow' date=' NCI, Harshly Punish)[/quote']

 

I don't want to meet ANYONE who qualifies as "more powerful" than this guy!

5**Physical Limitation: Large, up to twice human size (4m, or 2"; -2 DCV, +2 to PER Rolls to perceive) Infrequently, Slightly Impairing

 

Probably official somewhere, but the doubled size with concrete effects seems a lot more limiting than the enhanced mass.

should be. I'll fix if there is.

I think it refers to the potential damage taken by the knockback.

I can see that. Perhaps I'll change it too.

Well there is the fact that he might be able to revert to his human form.

Re: [Char]Behemoth....not for the point squeamish

 

Inspirational, though I'm not sure why his dislike of intellectuals hasn't set him at odds with Dr. Destroyer.

 

(Or is that what he does for several months at a time that he's unfindable, heal up after encounters with Dr. D?)

 

I'm curious about the 10 levels with HTH.. is that intended to reflect several long lifespans training with a celestial avatar of combat, or just something he picked up?

[Enforcer84]

Re: [Char]Behemoth....not for the point squeamish

 

Dr. Destroyer doesn't exist in my world. So there's not a problem there.

 

The HTH levels represent his enhanced skill. Like the rest of him his ability to fight was enhanced. He basically uses them to off set penalties and swat the annoying.

[Lord Liaden]

Re: [Char]Behemoth....not for the point squeamish

 

Hmm. Reminds me of the Juggernaut: terrifying physical power in the hands of essentially a common thug, with no real imagination for how to use it.

 

I suppose there's always a place for such a character in a campaign, but I must admit he doesn't engage me. Never really cared for Juggernaut either. I guess I like characters of that magnitude to come with a certain grandeur.

[Comic]

Re: [Char]Behemoth....not for the point squeamish

 

Gestaltic, I think. Thuggishness given an incarnate form.

 

A bit sad, really. The sort of behemoth you'd almost pity, if not for the chances he'd rip you into little pieces.

 

Though he reminds me a lot of the Super Skrull. You know, in the issue where he's giving Betty the opportunity to scream in terror after bashing in her puny boyfriend's nerdy head, and instead she warns him to save himself, and flee while he still can.

 

I can see where your campaign's got to be a lot of fun to play in.

[Hugh Neilson]

Re: [Char]Behemoth....not for the point squeamish

 

I think it refers to the potential damage taken by the knockback.

 

IIRC, Megascale doesn't cgange damage. 1d6 per 1" doesn't vary with the scale of 1". Otherwise, any power with megascale knockback becomes a death sentence to anyone hit by it.

 

Well there is the fact that he might be able to revert to his human form.

 

I read that, but it seems inconsistent with some disad's. For example, how can you have Public ID if you can slip of into another form? Similarly, Dist Feat drops in value if you can just shut it off, as might those physical limitations for size, mass and impenetrable skin. OTOH, if I were posting a villain where my players may see it, changing his abilities and disad's a bit would seem like a reasonable step to take.

 

Just went with the Ultimate Brick stuff on HD here.

 

Like I said, "probably official". I stand by my original statement that the values attributed don't seem reasonable when compared to one another.

Good point on the Public Id, admittedly, I had the idea for his human form as I was writing the background which came after the build. Might drop the identity all together. And there's little chance of my players seeing it because we haven't actually played in my world since the early 90's and those guys don't frequent the HERO boards.

I'm assuming this is a hero for Galactic Champions due to the point system but maybe not; maybe this is a hero for a high powered campaign.

 

My curiousity makes me ask: he's been created but to what purpose? Is this a hero, villain, an exercise in creating something powerful, an archenemy?

He looks like he could fulfill the Grond or Ripper role in most campaigns, only with heroes at higher points.

Behemoth 6e.

 

Well since it was pointed out...I fixed the old 5e Write up modified some of the powers a bit. Scaled him down to 125 STR and then decided to convert to 6e. The first post is 5e with HDC file.

Background/History: Joe Kerns was a street thug with aspirations of greatness. Whenever word of a costumed villain looking for henchmen came down the pike, he was there.

 

This got him several smaller jail sentences and a few trips to the hospital. When Dr. Armageddon hired him it eventually led to the creation of one of the most feared, powerful beings on the planet.

 

The explosion that transformed Joe into the Behemoth was a result of heroic interference. Dr Armageddon's ocean base went up in a bright flash, though he escaped, the team of heroes, Asia's Golden Patrol, were all slain.

 

The transformation allowed Joe to survive the explosion, he went on an extensive rampage through the Hawaiian Islands before being halted by the combined might of the Crown of Jade (a loose knit Polynesian team) and the son of Thor, Magni; who happened to be in the area on a sightseeing journey to far east.

 

Kerns received the name Behemoth from the newspapers in America where he surfaced in Boston and fought local hero Powerman. Powerman held Behemoth at bay for several minutes as Boston's other heroes rallied and pulled together; he later died from the injuries he received. This led to the creation of the New England based super team, the Avengers.

 

It is theorized that Behemoth can resume a human form, as he disappears for several months at a time and pops up in various spots around the world. He has battled Herakles in Europe, Atlas in Indonesia and New York, Blackguard in Poland, Deathmetal and Pariah in Florida....he has worked for a few master villains, and once was seen guarding what turned out to be a shipment of technology for the ARMORY.

 

Personality/Motivation: Behemoth has hit the big time and he is unwilling to let go. He loves using his might and has no problem with mass destruction or collateral damage. He seems obsessed with fighting the strongest warriors in the world (and seems to be rather sexist in his ranking system) and prove himself superior.

 

Beyond that, he likes money and the high life and as long as he is treated with the respect he feels he's due, he can work well with others.

 

Quote: Come on! Get up! You can't be dead yet!

 

Powers/Tactics: Uh Smash? Though he has the Power: Brick Tricks skill, and a nice list of powers to choose from, Behemoth is almost completely a straight up brick in practice. He uses his Thunderclap and Shockwave when fighting teams, and will break out the tricky stuff if he feels they will demoralize his opposition. He loves to play with his opponents.

 

If confronted by a strongman, he'll simply trade blows and insults with them unless they prove powerful or cagey enough that he feels he needs to take advange of his tricks of the trade.

 

Campaign Use: The Ultimate Antagonist. Behemoth doesn't see the world in "Good" and "Evil" more like in terms of "Will Pay Me" and "I wanna crush". Anyone who can stand up to him (and individuals in this class are rare) is regarded with unfettered ire (and possibly fear) with a twinge of respect.

 

Appearance: When he was a human (and if he can assume a human form again) Joe Kerns was about 6'2'' 220lbs of muscle and snarl. He had short black hair and a perma-scowl.

 

Behemoth is an over-muscled giant with scaly skin that is the color of dried blood. His head has an amphibious/demonic appearance with a ridged brow and a nascent nose, he has sharpened teeth, red eyes, and backward sweeping horns. He wears what appears to be black leather biker gear.

Enforcer, I've read a lot of your builds. I really like how you are willing to go and make the build as powerful as you want it to be. Good for you! However, I would have made his PD and ED higher, lol.
