Re: 4th String Villians Yeah!

 

Ok according to Comicvine, Hypno Hustler made his equipment - so he gets some knowledge/science skills

 

KS: Hypnotism

PS: Hypnotist

PS: Musician (Guitar)

PS: Singer

Inventor

Electronics

Mechanics

Weaponsmith

SS: Chemistry

 

His Goggles have the Hypnosis power...I think there's a Hypno Hat in Gadgets and Gear...but if not I can figure something out

His moon boots have retractable spikes with Anesthetic poison...And the Mercy Killers augment his hypnotic ability with their singing...they were apparently hypnotized as well. So do I make them followers or special effects of an aid?

 

He traded blows with Spiderman who obviously pulled his punches so I'll make him a little better than a thug probably Dex 18, Spd 4

make the costume Armored. Belt shot an electronic blast, and he used kicks so I'll give him some martial arts.

I think the Mercy Killers are followers and either Aid (simpler) or a power boost that only functions when they are present.

APG I has some stuff for that:

Buy Extra Effect/dice, Requires Background singing (6E1 128)

Enchantment is an alternate form of Teamwork, where the Attacks add togehter to form a single higher AP effect (instead of multiple, low power).

Normal teamwork could be interpreted to work that way for Mental powers, but APG II 74 states that this is clearly not allowed (only for powers that do damage).

I think the APG II had somewhere rules for Mentalsit helpign each other.

I have both of those sitting on my coffee table but I haven't cracked them open yet. Sounds like an elegant solution.

But I jsut remembere: Enchantment does not works for attacks that can't be coordinated. So non-damagign mental effects are out of the question as well.

I think they could still fire an Aid simultaniously (to aid the Mental power "in flight"). Or jsut use some Aid, Constant ("Boost") built.

Background/History: From Comicvine.com

 

Hypno-Hustler is a man who used music to hypnotize people at concerts into giving him their money and valuables. He used a mix tape in a boom box to play the music, along with his guitar. His real name was Antoine, and he was originally on the streets untill he was taken in by a club owner. Eventually Antoine met three woman who could amplify his hypnosis powers by singing. He hypnotized them into joining him, and called them the Mercy Killers. In the action of robbing the club owned by the very man who took Antoine off the streets, Hypno-Hustler encountered Spider-Man. He was promptly beaten and sent to jail.

 

In Spider-Man Unlimited, Hypno-Hustler is seen again, but this time apart of a reformed villain program. It is unclear whether Antoine turned his career around.

Hypno-Hustler is among many villains who attempt to capture Lily Hollisters baby for Doctor Octopus but is unsuccessful on finding it. He later flees to a police station after Spiderman, who believes the baby is dead, defeats Diablo, The Spot, and Overdrive. He attempts to turn himself in in an effort to keep himself safe but the officers are unsure of what to do with him since he has committed no crime.

There was a Team of Also Ran villains over in DC (Condiment King was one of them) most were killed.

I think DC also has the Pocket Rocket? A villain with a gun on his junk.

 

I have to admit, Marvel does the 4th string villains a bit better IMO.

Re: 4th String Villians Yeah!

 

I'm secretly a big fan of Sleepwalker*. If there is one thing that Sleepwalker did right, it was generate a fair sized rogue's gallery full of low level villains. Of these, 8-Ball was my favorite. I like how simple he was. Classic.

 

8ball1k.jpg

 

8-Ball was an engineer that designed missile propulsion systems. He was also a skilled gymnast & an expert pool player.

 

He invented a super cue stick that turns objects of opportunity into potentially lethal missiles. He used everything from tires to dumpsters to cars as weapons in this manner.

 

8-Ball also used explosive grenades and fireworks, a hovercraft, and flying miniature cameras, all painted to resemble billiard balls.

The members of 8-Ball's gang were 6-Ball, 9-Ball and 11-Ball. Their weapons included exploding billiard balls.

The Hover Rack reminds me of Power Girl for some reason. :o

 

 

*Everyone but me hates Sleepwalker.
