Design Notes

 

Arch Enemies tend to be intelligent and daring individuals who have a theme. Their abilities, however, tend to be same as other villains, just with different special effects.

 

The martial arts skills of the villain are the Dirty Infighting package. Any villain powerful enough to take on a superhero is going to have resources (Money) and the skills to use them (Bribery). They would be good liars (Persuasion), and know the criminal world (Streetwise). Being cowardly and superstitious, and facing superheroes who fight fair, they possess remarkable self-perservation skills (Combat Luck). The Teleport represents the Arch Enemy to get into places where they don't belong, and to have an escape plan. The Multipower represents various common Tools of the Trade.

The Evil Minion is a very powerful criminal who has not be able to become an Arch Enemy because of their bad luck. The Arch Enemy has provided them with less powerful versions of his own weapons out of fear they would turn on him at some point.

Re: Arch Enemy Template

 

Just a nitpick, but Harley should not have a secret ID as she has been captured and outed. Most Gothamites know her identity, maybe not when they see her in civvies, but when she is in her combat outfit.

I would like to say thank you for all this work. The ID thing is either way. Looks like you put a lot of work into this.

Re: Arch Enemy Template

 

This Template is based on many villains from the old Batman TV Series. The Teleport can represent anything from a fast truck, secret passage, or even a convienent distraction.
