Egyptoid Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Re: USA 5O for Sixth Edition I am reworking the USA5O web-site to reflect several things: A) This is Sixth Edition. the Call for more villains. C) the Call for more contributors (bigger bleg will come later) D) to build suspense for the nearing release of the first book... Click: USA FIFTY please acknowledge this is work in progress.

Egyptoid Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Re: USA 5O for Sixth Edition I've done some more planning work. Pictures and Names are up. Villains need 6E development, description, stats, and art. Heroes need conversion to six-ed, art, and more description. southern page northern page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certified Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Re: USA 5O for Sixth Edition Villains Question: So with the recent push to add more foes to the US50 pantheon something I've been thinking about is size and scope. Presumably each of the heroes has their own rogue's gallery. Are these the villains you are looking for? When I think of villains for the US50 I picture villains that require multiple heroes to take on. For example Sabertooth is Wolverine's enemy but Magneto is the X-Men's enemy, he's simply larger than one hero could handle and his plots have a larger scope. Red Skull is Captain America's enemy but Ultron is the Avenger's enemy not because it's plots are grander than Red Skull's but because it operates on a higher power level. So with that said, what is the scale you are picturing with the new villains that are being added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egyptoid Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Re: USA 5O for Sixth Edition hey Cert: the short answer to your questions is that I'd like to see just enough villains to do a decent sized book. the long answer is that the variables are up to the author. Some villains need to be of the "Riddler" scope, and others can be a whole gang. But if someone draws up an entire Injustice League, they are welcome. space is limited in a print book, but not online. a few of all sizes will be good.

gojira Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Re: USA 5O for Sixth Edition Now you can totally check out California' date=' man.[/quote'] The only thing I notice here is that away from water, he has no travel powers. Perhaps in the conversion his leaping went away? It's almost totally normal (6m), really odd for a superhero with 50 STR. Otherwise, he's going to need a mini van (or for California maybe a Mini-Cooper) to get around in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egyptoid Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Re: USA 5O for Sixth Edition it was a poorly worded limitation. his flight is meant to be super-fast on surface of water, and mediocre over land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojira Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Re: USA 5O for Sixth Edition Ah, well in that case you should probably fix his Super Surfing too. It's bought as Running, Over Water, which of course is totally useless. (Or possibly it's Running, Not Over Water, which would be pure cheese. I'm not sure which it is.)
