JmOz Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I have been working on a Vigilante project. Basicaly it is a guide to creating Vigilante's. Primarily it is a gadget book for the Batman crowd, but I want to include a couple package deals as well. So anyways, I am tying to think of some example vigilante characters, any source is welcome. Now a few defining terms, for this project a Vigilante is a character who is primarily interested in street crimes (Deals with mobsters, drugs, murderers, thiefs, etc...) and whose powers are primarily from enhanced training (However some powers are possible). These are guidelines however, as the feel of the character is more important than the powers they may or may not possess. Now a few characters I could think of: Batman & family (Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, etc...) Blue Beetle Daredevil Punisher Cast of Watchmen (except Blue genetila man) Green Arrow (Please note that Hawkeye is not on this list, as he tends to be more Super Hero than vigilante imo) Anyways as I said, I am looking primarily for ideas, mostly example characters, but also would love to hear some more concept type ideas... My thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Re: Help with Vigilante Project Are you using Dark Champions: The Animated Series as a reference? This really sounds like something DC: TAS calls "Hudson City Powers". Another couple of characters that come to my mind: The Question (Vic Sage, not Renee Montoya) Daredevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Re: Help with Vigilante Project I found DC:TAS to be somewhat of a let down, a part of this project is that I wanted to codefy my thoughts on the subgenre (which I call Street Level Super Heroes/Street Level Champions instead of DC:TAS do to a distaste for the name) As for the Question, good catch, Daredevil was already on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper-Man Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Re: Help with Vigilante Project Black Canary seems like a perfect fit (and companion to Green Arrow). Here is a 250 point Dark Champions character I played based on her: Red Tiger [ATTACH=CONFIG]36551[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assault Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Re: Help with Vigilante Project Lots of Golden Age characters: the Sandman, Wildcat, the (Golden Age) Atom, Tarantula, Mr Terrific, a whole bunch of flagsuits, Manhunter, Manhunter (and probably Manhunter as well), the Guardian, and, well, too many others to mention. Oh, and Moon Knight. Heck, Spidey, too, while we're at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
