Background/History: The Producer was born Zachariah Albritton in 1888, and grew up to be a brilliant doctor and biochemist. In the 1930's, he stumbled on the secrets of artificial life and created several android heroes in the 1940's and 1950's. But, because of the Governor's interference with scientific development, Albritton could never convince the scientific community of his deeds and his genius. He was mocked and ridiculed. In the late 1950's, his mind snapped. No longer able to deal with the humiliation, he committed suicide by guillotine.

But one of his androids, not wishing for his genius to be lost, captured his memory and brain patterns in one of his experimental devices, then labored for a decade, using the man's own techniques to create him an imperishable body. The operation was a success; the data that constituted the memory and personality of Dr. Albritton survived the transition into his android body. Restored to life, he was still crazy. He no longer wished to batter his head against the scientific community. He wished only to live a happy, colorful, musical life, like that seen in the movies.

The movies became his obsession. He began using his genius to create android duplicates of people (and monsters) he saw in the movies and on television - the more ridiculous, the better. Having created something lovely, he would release it into the world. And if the creation was dangerous, superheroes inevitably had to deal with it.

The Producer, as he now calls himself, has plauged Strike Force with giant Japanese lizards, 1930's movie monsters, hulking Italian swordsmen from sword-and-sandal fantasy movies, alien invaders, and much more. He has also helped the team, during the TkTK Horde invasion, by creating an authentic network news studio (populated with famous anchorpersons) and faking the broadcast which convinced the TkTk that thier technology offer was being rejected.

The Producer supports his operations by creating special-purpose and super-powered androids for various crime cartels. His work is good, and he earns incredible fees.

Personality/Motivation: The Producer is crazy, but not evil. He just doesn't remember that what he does can hurt people. He doesn't understand that this is not a movie, that after the director calls "cut" the victems don't just get up again. He is a fan of the movies and public figures; so heroes finding his bases often find android duplicates of important persons about: The Princess of Wales as his social secretary; roundtable political discussions between Plato, Marx, Teddy Roosevelt, and Kublai Khan; and new movies being filmed with a wish-list of actors who lived at different times, many of them now dead.

Powers/Tactics: Te Producer has a tough, resiliant android body but no real attack powers. With his sciences, however, he can create anything he wishes to, up to super-beings which only whole superhero teams can handle. If he needs to perform a task, he can create the android to do it. His androids can be very simple things with accelerated aging and no intelligence (some are water-soluble), or can be practically undetectable as androids, fully living and interfertile with human beings.

Campaign Use: The Producer is a good opporitunity for a comedy adventure. The adventure goes something like this: The Producer sees a wonderful new science fiction disater , or horror movie, discovers something that interests him, recreates it in his lab, and unleashes it on the city, having a camera-crew follow the action while the hapless heroes try to fix things. The Producer himself is never seen (he uses Dan, as his messenger); if he is actually captured, you can have him transfer his conciousness to another android body in another base. The Producer can also be the orgin of a superhero's power: Pity the poor hero who discovers that he's not a mutant after all, but a recently-constructed android with false memories and no past...

Appearance: Costume: The Producer wears ordinary street clothes and a lab smock.His shirts and smocks have slits in the back so that he may extend his wings (normally worn flat against his back) when he wishes to fly.

Background/History: Dan is the Producer's favorite messenger, as crazy as the Producer himself. The Producer keeps Dan's personality and memories in a storage device, creating a new Dan body for every errand; these bodies often self-destruct in bizarre fashions when their missions are accomplished.

Personality/Motivation: Theatrical (overly so).

Powers/Tactics: None, or as the Producer see's fit.

Campaign Use: Dan is the one who delivers the news of the Producer's latest experiment to the heroes (though he doesn't always do so in time for the heroes to forestall disaster). He is also the one the heroes find in the Producer's headquarters, the one who delivers the Producer's products to villains, etc.

Appearance: Costume: Usually, top hat and tails, with cane; usually comic because of is skinny physique. Or, as situation demands (in Hollywood, shirt open to navel and gold spoon, for instance).

Christopher R Taylor · December 24, 2014

I built an arch villain for the Chicago Watch game I ran decades ago called Cinema sort of based on this guy. He is a reality manipulator who is the same sort of personality: he's crazy and understands the world only in terms of movies and film characters. He's very powerful but very limited as well. Once he summoned Godzilla to attack Chicago, once he used War of the Worlds robots, mixed with Sandmen from Logan's Run. He's a pretty effective bad guy but personally weak so the PCs can't just uncork on him but he's easy to beat if they can get him alone.

Ok, rather than just sit around and eat and eat until I exploded today, I had some time to finish up some of the things I was working on. First up is Loc Ban Tor, another one of Strike Force's villains. There wasn't a picture for him in the book, so I took the liberty to whip one up with heromachine. I like it anyway, hope you do too!

Background/History: Loc Ban Tor, a man of uncertain orgins (claims to be Vietmanese), was in training with the master of Paek-tu when Ed Trillaine (Sai) also came to train. Loc Ban tor tried to kill Trillaine during an ordinary practice session (his temper is notorious) but failed; he was banished by the master and left the mountain forever. In later years, he served as a mercenary and assassin all over the world, training ninja-like killers in Asia and Central America. He hunted Shiva, but was thwarted when Shiva apparently died in a tenement fire. (Shiva actually changed his identity to that of Sai.) Eventually, a mercenary ally of Sai sold him out to Loc Ban Tor; but the mercenary and Loc Ban Tor's agent died trying to assassinate Sai and his ally Sliver. Loc Ban Tor now hunts Sai personally, determined to murder him, blaming Sai for his banishment from the mountain of Paek-tu. Recently, the CIA contracted him to kill Ed Trillaine; Trillaine had refused an assignment and resigned from his CIA position, but knows too much to be allowed to live.

Personality/Motivation: Cold, ruthless, ambitious, vengeful, prone to rages.

Powers/Tactics: Extraordinary dexterity, great training in martial arts techniques. Uses highly-trained agents.

Campaign Use: Powerful enemy to martial arts heroes. Also, trainer of assassins, accepts contracts on major political figures, works with terrorist groups such as VIPER.

Appearance: Costume: Jade-green silk gi (oriental practise robe) and belt; sheathed katana carried in belt; goes barefoot.

And ladies and gentlemen, if you'll turn and look to the left, you'll now see the Sttel Brigade!

The steel Brigade armor is the same for each different set, so I only created one file for them. However, there are 8 different colored armors, so there was more work generating the pics than there was the HD files. This, I believe, completes the villains in the book that have any type of stats. There are a couple indipendent heroes and a couple normals that I still have to do and will. Any way, here's the Steel Brigade for your enjoyment!

15 Psychological Limitation: Greedy (All members) (Common, Strong)

Total Disadvantage Points: 264

Background/History: The Steel Brigade ( acorps of power-armor goons) acted as supervillain muscle for Overlord. Each set of Steel Brigade armor was a different color and its wearer called by that name (Yellow, Red, Blue, etc.). Originally pretending to be superheroes, they assaulted Strike Force but were defeated by the team. Later assigned to assist Power Lord in his assault on Strike Force Mansion, they were defeated there, too. With Power Lord dead and Overlord retired, the members of the Steel Brigade reconstructed their armor and decided to become independent supervillains. Now, with improved armor, they specialize in bank robbery and theft from high-tech industries. They now use slightly different but still color-coded names - Sable (Black), Purpure (Purple), Scarlet (Red), Tenne (Orange), Gold (Yellow), Vert (Green), Azure (Blue), and Silver (White). Gold, leader of the new Steel Brigade, hates Strike Force member Luster for her part in their capture; it was she who built the EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) bomb that wrecked the Steel Brigade armor and permitted their capture. Gold, who feels Luster should have owed him some loyalty because of their common ties to Overlord, now hunts Luster, but doesn't drag in his allies on this non-profitable quest.

Personality/Motivation: Gold, leader of the Steel Brigade, is vengeful but cunning. All members of the Brigade are greedy. Sable, Purpure, Tenne, Gold, and Vert are men; Scarlet, Azure and Silver are women.

Powers/Tactics: Power armor strength enhancement, armor, and other powers.

Campaign Use: The Steel Brigade is a good "meyhem in the streets" encounter, robber-villains; they're not very versatile but are very persistent. They are very coordinated in combat, utilizing maneuvers and code-words, and thus are tougher to beat than their character sheets indicate.

Appearance: Costume: The Steel Brigade Power Suit is a man-height set of power armor, elegant-looking, with some sharp edges and corners; the armor does not indicate the gender of its wearer. Each suit is of a different color.

Once i finish the rest of the characters in the book, I'll post the cardstock stand-ups for them, just want to have them all in one pdf rather than 2 or 3.

Before Strike Force, Aaron described his campaign in an article in Space Gamer #48.

I thoroughly recommend tracking it down. It contains additional artwork, including of Napalm, who had no picture in Strike Force itself. It also mentions characters not in the book.

Yeah in the Strike Force book he mentions that several characters referred to could be found in Space Gamer, particularly the School Days scenario I've never seen.

rjd59 · December 26, 2014

Here are the last two characters that are in the Strke Force book that have any type of stats. Hope you've enjoyed them all. Now to find something else...

And of coarse, I'm posting the final cardstock stand-ups pdf containing the rest of the characters I've presented....

Background/History: Nine years ago, Shari, a high-school journalism student, interviewed a hero of the Crusaders. Instead of submitting it to her school paper , she sent it to a prominent national magazine and was accepted, launching her career as a journalist specializing in superhero news and interviews. Six years ago, with loans from her parents and brother George (Swashbuckler), she launched HEROTALK Magazine, a monthly covering the superhero community. (Each issue features a superhero interview, an article on recent super activities, a historical article, news, and a photo spread,)

About this time, ShadowWalker met and became interested in her, butmisinterpreted Swashbuckler's protectiveness of her (she is Swashbuckler's sister) and did not pursue his interest in her for several years. As publisher of HEROTALK, Shari has been an occasional help and an occasional annoyance to Strike Force.

Personality/Motivation: Shari is recklessly impulsive, intruding herself into dangerous situations to capture them on film for her magazine and for prosterity. She loves travel and expensive living but will slog uncomplainingly through hellish environments for a good story. She is strongly committed to journalistic ethics and does not divulge off-the-record information about her interview subjects.

Powers/Tactics: Shari is a competant normal, possessing no powers, but trained in a variety of skills to further her journalistic career - and to keep her alive while she goes about it. In her purse, she carries a small cannister of tear gas (Flash, 1D6, 3 uses, 8 turns' duration each, +6 to hit because of spray, OAF)

Campaign Use: Ms Taylor is Swashbuckler's DNPC and ShadowWalker's romantic interest, and can take these roles for player-characters. Additionally, she can act as a nuisance monster for superteams, forcing her way into violent situations, tripping over secret identities, etc.

Appearance: Costume: Shari generally wears expensive outfits in the latest styles.

Background/History: Shawna is a mutant, a wild talent with uncontrolable Telepathy. Deeply disturbed because of her powers, she ran into Strike Force and accidentally discovered many of their Secret ID's before they realized her problem. Psycher, still a Strike Force member at the time, recommended training for her at a parapsychic research facility known to him. At that institute, she learned to tune out some of the "voices" she was always hearing and to use her abilities in a constructive manner. Later, she embarked on a relationship with Stalker, a martial artist and energy- redirection super. Still later, she became a parapsychology instructer at the Salem Academy, the secret school for youthful supers, working with Charade.

Personality/Motivation: Once alienated and unhappy, Shawna has learned from her psi institute how to cope with the world. This, coupled with her relationship with Stalker and her productive work with Salem Academy, have made her much more cheerful and outgoing. Because of her problems differentiating her own emotions and those around her, she tends to feel for a person as the person feels for her - and thus she's more likely to help a happy villain than a stern or ill-mannered hero.

Powers/Tactics: Shawna's powers include an always-on Telepathy (she always hears a babble of voices, but can single out one person's thoughts by concentrating on him), an empathic healing power (she takes the damage into herself before healing it), an EGO attack, and a powerful psychic warning system. She feels pain (takes STUN) when those near her are hurt (as if a STUN-only explosion emanating from that person), and she has trouble sorting out the emotions of those around her from her own.

Campaign Use: Shawna, before her education in parapsychology, is a good "super with powers out of control" for a hero-team to "help" encounter. After her education, she is a good mentor or friend to troubled and youthful supers, especially novice psychic heroes or heroines.

Appearance: Shawna is a 26 year old woman with brown hair and brown eyes. She wears normal civilian dress.

...anyone else find it a little odd that a blind guy was inspired by the cinema?

Christopher R Taylor · January 3, 2015

Thanks to rjd59 for all his work on the other characters and for inspiring me to create paper minis

rjd59 · January 4, 2015

Thanks Chris, I love making and using paper mini's, cheap, and easily replaced. I 've made them for all three of 6th ed villains books, as well as some of the old 4th and 5th edition books. Our group uses them in play for the combats for visual reference where the characters are. (Plus they just plain look cool out on the table!)

I'm thinking of doing "The Blood" 6th conversions next, just have a couple other things I have to finish up first.

pinecone · January 12, 2015

I'm not sure, except that the book describes them all as "stealthy" and similar terms. Maybe it was something Sai taught them, they all have martial arts too.

This also a "style" issue, back in the 80s Danger Sense was a very common "must have" power. Even moreso considering the low defenses. :0

Christopher R Taylor · April 24, 2015

I packaged up and uploaded the Shadow Warriors as a file people can download the Hero Designer characters if they want.

Mathew Robert Ignash · April 25, 2015

I did some 4th edition characters from this book pages ago... Not all of them, but several.

Christopher R Taylor · May 15, 2015

Good to have variants from different editions for GMs of all types

I went through and re-upped all the images that were lost.

James Stockbridge · December 6, 2015

I have really enjoyed this post. I was going through Strike Force myself, putting all the characters into Hero Designer and this made things considerably easier. One thing for those who have been following; La Panthere had a car. It was a Black Trans Am that could change colors and had a rotating license plate. For 5th edition, if you have the Hero System Vehicle Sourcebook character data pack, you can use the Chevy Camaro as a template and then adjust as you see fit since Trans Ams used the same chassis and nearly the same engine when they were in production. In fact, some people who want a Trans Am nowadays buy a Camaro and then pay for a kit to transform it into a Trans Am.

James Stockbridge · December 6, 2015

Oh, and another thing....I was reading through Strike Force again, and kept seeing references to the Shivall Race, and the offshoot race of the Katari. Does anyone know where I can find more details about these two races? Maybe a write up or something?

assault · December 6, 2015

Barring the promised publication of an updated/extended version...

Grab whatever details are in the book, including from the character writeups. Don't forget the related races. There's not a lot there, but you could design characters that could look Katari, say. Your players wouldn't know the difference.

Aaron made the stuff up himself at some point, so you can do it too.

Christopher R Taylor · December 7, 2015

In hero terms, they really are the same car.

Its unlikely the new Strike Force book will have much detail on the races, but you can guess based on the bits of info you have available. Since there will be adventure hints and stories from the campaign, its likely both showed up again and you can learn more from there as well. And, of course, maybe you can get Surbrook to share some info since he has all the notes

Lord Liaden · December 7, 2015

I'm actually betting on a fair bit on alien races in the Allstonverse in the new Strike Force book; since Aaron mentioned at the end of the original that after the defeat of the Governor freeing technological dissemination to the general populace, FTL travel would start taking humanity, and the campaign, out to the stars.

Steve · December 7, 2015

I'm actually betting on a fair bit on alien races in the Allstonverse in the new Strike Force book; since Aaron mentioned at the end of the original that after the defeat of the Governor freeing technological dissemination to the general populace, FTL travel would start taking humanity, and the campaign, out to the stars.

I'm excited to learn where the campaign went after the original Strike Force book was published. It should be quite helpful in showing how a campaign world can change and grow, such as what happens once super tech becomes more commonplace.
