5th Edition 250 Points Comic Book Characters

Recommended Posts

Batman is an Olympic-class athlete. That includes weight lifting. Not incidentally, it is the STR he would have on a conversion from the Mayfair DC Heroes game. The same conversion, iirc, gives the Joker a 30 STR. The joys of insanity.

 

Captain America is more than just human. I've never agreed that "maximum human potential" is the same as "maximum currently possible", which is about where NCM defaults in my mind. Rogers has scaled a wall carrying his motorcycle in one hand. You want to refer to the current MCU, you've got him lifting a motorcycle with three dancing girls sitting on it. The trailer for AoU shows him dismounting from his bike and throwing it without suffering from the force of momentum of movement when he lands on his feet. Also not incidentally, 35 is within the range of numbers when you convert his MSHRPG (FASERIP) stats to Hero.

 

Basically, those numbers feel right to me for those characters.

When I said "Olympic Level Athlete" I was referring to those Heroes characterized as such in the Marvel Guidebook.  That level (100 Points) is also for those who "Engage in Intensive Regular Exercise".  Moderate level Exercise would have 75 Points in characteristics.

Since we only really have benchmarks for STR, going by the chart and Olympic lifters, they can easily manage STR 23-26.

Except you would allow Bats to have a equally high Dex? The people who would qualify for 23 STR wouldnt also have close to a 18 Dex in the real world. In the comics though olympic athlete meant you were physically fit in all areas.

If you look, you can find images of Bats training, lifting, etc. Try to guesstimate from those images how much he has on the bar.

 

But was that his normal strength, or was he "pushing".  I think it would be the latter.

Updated version of Wonder Woman.  Her Bracelets are more like a Force Field instead of Missile Deflection because she never misses.  I generalized her skills, and increased her SPD. to superhuman levels.  Her vulnerability to Ambushes/Treacherous attacks represents her dependents on her Bracelets for defense.
