Choice of Supervillains

[Maccabe]

I was always curious to know what you GM's think about what villains to include in your game....

[Lord Liaden]

I prefer a mixture, although for ease and due to time constraints I most often use published villains, although I almost always modify them at least slightly, and sometimes majorly. But I also include Hero adaptations of villains from other sources, which many Champions players have done and hosted on various websites.

I use both unmodified and modified Champions characters as well as my own creations. I tend to stay away from direct versions of Marvel, DC, Image or other characters but I have plenty of character inspired or based off of them.

[Fry Daddy]

Most of my "big bads" are originals, but for the fodder and other filler foes, I use modified versions of characters that tickly my fancy from the various game systems I have supplements for.

I’m like some of the previous posts. I don’t think I’m too original so I’ll use published villains but I’ll modify them to suit my game needs.

[Doc Democracy]

I usually use pre-written villains, though I will usually have re-drafted their powersets to work the way I want them to, unless they are particularly straightforward and to ensure their defences etc conform to my campaign.  Too often I used things out the book that were either too easy to defeat or too difficult to harm in ways that a quick once over did not catch.

I'll do a mix. Sometimes I'll just file the serial numbers off of a published villain, sometimes I'll use them as-is, sometimes I'll creates one from scratch.

[Tech]

For published villains, some stay the same, others don't. The majority of the villains I use though are about 50% my own creation, the rest a mix.

Mine are mostly original but I have incorperated other characters from other media. Some examples are one event called "Crossover"  as a group of 31st century heroes enter a universe where the Legion of Superheroes is the guardians of the universe. Another group ran into Helen Cutter from "Primeval" as a different set of anomolies were being investigated as a means returning home to the future.
