Silver Age Champions Playtest Rogue's Gallety

[Epiphanis]

Darren Watts, former president of Hero Games, has been working on material for the eventual Silver Age Champions sourcebook in his weekly Champions campaign.  I'm a player in that campaign, and as Darren is very much a GM who likes to lay long-term groundwork, I try to keep note of developments in the campaign, and have been illustrating the villains he has introduced.  Here are some samples.

 

This first one is the Amalgam, a killer robot from space who can scan superhumans and replicate their abilities.

Next up is the Black Tide, the once and (to hear him tell it) future conqueror of Atlantis.

 

   A rare hybrid, Black Tide is the son of the now-deceased Atlantean tyrant Dargon the Usurper and the Lemurian noblewoman Tethys.  He belongs to neither society in truth, but appears to have been conceived and raised as a living instrument of revenge against Atlantis, which he has temporarily conquered and almost destroyed. 

  Most of what is known about Black Tide comes from his captured mother, Tethys, and if he has any agenda apart from hers it remains unknown.

   Black Tide always wears his mask.  The Lemurian-Atlantean hybrid is resourceful and demonstrates a remarkable facility with advanced technology, something almost unique among Atlanteans, although commonplace with Lemurians.  He was allied with the outlaw technology group the Arsenal and its mysterious leader, Eclipse, until his plans ceased being of use to them.  How much, if any, of his advanced technology was of his own devising, and how much was the Arsenal’s, remains unknown at this time.

Humm. Two villians shared. One, a espe of Super Adaptoid/Amazo, and another an esep of Atuma (the Alantian barbarian from Marvel). Any esep for Felix Faust, Krang the Conquer, or Staro the Conquer?

None of those yet, but one of Darren's characters from other campaigns is Korrex, who bears a resemblance to Kang the Conqueror

 

I will post more of these later, I have to jigger the images to fit the forum's upload limitations.

When first encountered, Cyrax was a tyrant ruling an advanced interplanetary system in the Zero Zone, the miniature dimension Myriad had been exploring.

   Cyrax was a member of the Guruni race, part of “The Alliance,” an odd, technologically advanced civilization organized primarily as a trade federation.  Although the Alliance was a composite organization of several species, the warlike Guruni had gained dominance and had instituted a policy of negotiating trade deals at gunpoint, threatening their “partners” with their super-weapon, The Worldbreaker.

   Cyrax personally was generally acknowledged to be the Guruni ideal: immensely powerful and completely ruthless.  Thus he had risen to power among the Guruni and the Alliance by virtue of his perceived strength.  After the Exonauts defeated him and destroyed the Worldbreaker, his loss of face resulted in his being deposed.  His current whereabouts are unknown.
