So she moved to (insert city) to try to make it big. But she was not getting many breaks. So to make ends meet, she got a job at (blank) Corporation as a night janitor. But the grind was getting to her. Then one night she accidentally brushed up against a metal orb (actually an alien probe) and when she reached down to pick it up a charge of energy went through her. The pain was so intense she almost passed out. Over the next few days she found she had control over gravity and her body had been improved. Now as Megaton, she races around the city to help people and fight crime! Personality/Motivation: Two contradictory ideas. One is a like to fight. She wants to test herself. The other is Spidey Syndrome, and she wants to give back to society! Quote: Powers/Tactics: First Mary's physique has been massively improved and she is extremely strong for her size (she can press about 12,000 kg). As well she has great control over gravity allowing her to fly, place a protective field around herself, lift up great weights and fire gravitic blasts! For now she runs up and tries to hit them, but is slowly realising that her other powers may be more useful! Campaign Use: Appearance: 161 cm and 55 kg with brownish blond hair and brown eyes. For a costume she wears a blue bodysuit with white trim and a white mask! This build I liked as a concept, but since the original creator was looking to game his system, and I am not, I figured a few ....adjustments were in place. So I left the high strength, but added to her Gravitic Powers set. So now she's more of a classic flying blaster with some TK ability.For the future we can go one of three ways. 1) bring up her strength and defenses and make her more brick like. 2) add to the Gravitics. More varied blasts, better TK etc. 3) a middle of both. Bring up Strength (55) and the EC so that the TK and Blast were at 55 str and 11d6. Which ever way it goes, she's got a loy of room for expansion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact people commented that he must be a mutant, but it was just insinuated and never proven. That didn't stop (insert) Group from deciding he would make the perfect assassin and deciding to kidnap him and experimenting on him. After four year of brutal treatment, he was sent on his first mission. Unfortunately the mental conditioning didn't take. So he ran. At first he hid out in (insert) City, but his innate good nature made him intervene with people having problems in the area. He is also looking for information on the group as he wants to dismantle it, to keep others from suffering as he had! Personality/Motivation: Revenge. He was hurt bad, and he wants to hurt them back! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Superhuman reflexes and reactions. At eight SPD he has a ton of actions, is hard to hit and hits almost at will. Also he has great movement abilities, not as great as a speedster, but still allowing him to be anywhere he wants in the area! Campaign Use: An intro to an evil villain organization, or the dark side of a benevolent organization! Appearance: 179 cm and 80 kg with a very wiry build. he has brown hair and brown eyes. He wears jeans and a long sleeved t shirt with a suit of body armour underneath (he can dodge bullets but isn't really bulletproof)! I really like this build. Of course I had to censor it a bit, like getting rid of his power fist (he already does good damage) but on the whole he's agreeable. He has a lot of actions, good movement and is very HARD to hit. This is the room broom, the guy who takes out a whole room of agents in about 30 seconds and never get hit.Out of Combat, he has a lot of skills. Also he is an in to either a villainous agency or a good agency with some VERY questionable practices. Either way, it can lead to opening up the game world!Future progress would be more skills, more Martial Art abilities, some damage classes and maybe a point of speed (9), but on the whole this is a pretty complete NPC!

When Min went into the armed forces, Biyu went into academia, like engineering, medicine and chemistry. By age 21 she had multiple degrees in many fields and had become rich off a few patents, mostly related to cars and engines and performance! For a while she was adrift, then she found out her sister was alive and well, but in trouble. Zin told her about the cybernetics/bionics, and Biyu immediately figured out how they work. When Min told her about her difficulties, Biyu wasted no time getting an old warehouse as a base/workshop. Not wanting to stay behind, she built a few gadgets and a super souped up 'Cuda! So when Calamity goes out on patrol, Car Mage is somewhere nearby for support and escapes! Personality/Motivation: Biyu likes a puzzle, be it a mystery or a new gadget to figure out. Right now her mystery is the people bothering her sister. At heart she wants to be a positive change in the world! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Incredibly intelligent and versed in a number of applied sciences, car mage carries a few gadgets and a small blaster when out of her 'Cuda. But it is inside the car she is most dangerous. She's a trained driver and has souped up her ride to be faster and better handling than anything on the road. Add some neat weapons (concealable) and a heavily armoured frame, and you have a nasty combination! Campaign Use: Calamity's anchor. Also a tech based hero for those people looking for someone to build them "One of those WONDERFUL toys!" Appearance: An American of Chinese ancestry, she stands 170 cm but weighs 60 kg Quote 2020 #5a Car Mages 'Cuda Val Char Cost Roll Notes 35 STR 0 16- Lift 3200.0kg; 7d6 20 DEX 30 13- OCV: 7/DCV: 4 15 BODY 0 12- 5 SPD 20 Phases: 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 Total Characteristic Cost: 91 Movement: Running: 20"/160" Cost Powers END 30 Armor (15 PD/15 ED) (45 Active Points); Ablative BODY Only (-½) 38 Ground Movement +14" (20" total), x8 Noncombat 31 Radar (Radio Group), Concealed (-5 with Radar PER Rolls), Discriminatory, Increased Arc Of Perception (360 Degrees), Telescopic: +2 90 Energy Blast 12d6, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +½) (90 Active Points) 13 Hand-To-Hand Attack +4d6, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +½) (30 Active Points); Limited Arc Of Fire (60 degrees; Only on same horizontal level; -¾), Hand-To-Hand Attack (-½) 20 Darkness to Sight Group 4" radius (40 Active Points); 8 Charges (-½), Limited Arc Of Fire (60 degrees; -½) [8] Perks 3 Computer Link Talents 3 Absolute Range Sense 3 Absolute Time Sense 3 Bump Of Direction Total Powers & Skill Cost: 234 Total Cost: 325 200+ Disadvantages 10 Distinctive Features: (Concealable; Noticed and Recognizable; Detectable By Commonly-Used Senses) 115 Experience Points Total Disadvantage Points: 325 Earned Experience: 0 Spent Experience: 115 Unspent Experience: 0 Background/History: Personality/Motivation: Quote: Powers/Tactics: Campaign Use: Appearance: At first I was not to enamoured of this build. But after fixing her up a bit, I think I have made a very capable Hardware person. The original went heavy into the super vehicle track, arguing that it is not seen a lot. I agree, but mostly because 1) when you are not in your vehicle you are a glorified normal and 2) in HU if you game the system right you can make a PC that has a flying Abrhams tank. So the conversion for the car was actually not all that difficult, but it was giving her something when she got out / was forced out of the car that was a bit tougher. I wanted her capable but not too capable. OOC she along with her sister have ties to a possible villain or hero organization. Also she's a tech junkie, so if the group needs someone to design a team vehicle for them, she's a hook! For growth there are a few options. Make her more competent out of the vehicle with more gadgets and some MA training. OR. Give her a big VPP with the various vehicles she has stored for certain emergencies. Possibilities include a combat van, a super copter (Blue Thunder), and maybe even a speedboat/submersible. Either way she should be like Shuri from Black Panther!

Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Goblins. They live in the city, hiding in places where humans seldom venture. But there are always those who would flaunt such laws, so by tradition there is always a human who was given the power and authority to enforce the peace. The Night Sheriff of today is Benjamin James. It was the classic story of a young man finding a sword stuck in a stone. Drawing it he was told he was the new Night Sheriff. Given training and having the sword, Ben has had to juggle his mundane life and magical life... and soon things will get stranger than he could EVER imagine! Personality/Motivation: Another Spidey Syndrome type. But he is also coming to realize how important his post is and the need for it. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Part of the Pact is a great improvement in his physique. Even without the sword he would be one of the best HTH people on the planet! With the sword he is much more. In addition to the HTH abilities, he can throw it and it will return. It grants him nightvision, the ability to detect magic, and can compel anyone touching it to tell the truth. As well it generates a mystic armour and shield for protection! Campaign Use: A mystic guardian from things that go bump in the night! Appearance: 181 cm and 80 kg with brown hair and eyes. He generally wears jeans and t-shirts, but on the job will wear the magical armour the sword provides (looks like classic chain mail but with a golden sheen) A very standard magic weapon type character with a very interesting backstory. In a M&M villain book there is a villain called Balor who would be a perfect long term enemy for this guy. Add a quick template for dwarves and elves, trolls and goblins and you have a ready made set of possible NPCs of all stripes. This is a perfect type of PC for getting the heroes involved with magic and dimension hopping and other cool effects. Power wise he's a Thor type. Maybe new powers of the weapon, possible spells ala wizardry, maybe even a few more magic items that he needs to more represent his office. Personality wise, he's more Hal Jordan. He's has cool powers, but also many responsibilities. All in all not a bad character! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an accomplished mage, but she had NO talent. Shunning her, she made her way in the mundane world. Finally after years of estrangement, he called her for a visit. It wasn't very friendly. After much yelling and shouting she threw a book across the room. The Book of All Souls was a prison, and 37 demons escaped. Usually her father would go after them, but his other commitments precluded that, so it fell to his daughter. Casting some enchantments on her and giving her the Seal of Solomon, he impressed upon her the seriousness of her mission. Now alone and not knowing who to turn to, she started researching her foes and gathering allies. She will be the hammer that beats them back into the book, the Hammer of Heaven! Personality/Motivation: Sarah is trying to redeem herself, both to herself and her father. Her childish action released a great evil, now she is forced to fix it! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Sarah has a few advantages going for her. The first is the enchantments her father placed on her, that makes her almost immune to magic. Attacks or effects that would almost seriously injure someone else will barely harm her (the Dam Red). As well the Seal of Solomon has a suite of spells, that are very effective in her cause! Campaign Use: Another mystic hero, but with a twist! Against normals she's competent, but against magical threats, she becomes much more front and center due to her immunities! Appearance: at 170 cm and 70 kg Sarah has let her black hair grow long to go along with her green eyes. She at first wore normal clothing, but realizes the importance of appearances and now wears long dresses and fashionable boots with a long black overcoat! In HU this build would be great in a VERY narrow game because the mystical immunity is absolute, but she lost half her hp and they were frozen at level one. As well there is no progression as you get no new abilities and they are frozen at a certain level at creation. So in a game with a lot of magic she's great. In the rest, she's more of a glass cannon. Power wise she's got a powerful magic item with a nice suite of spells. In a mystic masters type game her immunity would be her main defining feature. As far as progression, well, her father is a powerful mage with a lot of magic items lying around. I can see her unlocking some more items, like a wand maybe, or a magic carpet. Or some sort of sensing device (X-ray head-dress?) Personality wise this lady has ISSUES. Daddy didn't love her, she wants acceptance AND she has a major problem she created due to her anger that she needs to clean up, while learning some magic on the job. Yeah!

Odd coincidences followed him around, and on his 14th birthday his grandmother told him of his magical heritage. And off he went to a school for magicians called the Shadow Academy. He took to it like a duck to water, even graduating early and at the top of his class. Now he wants to see the world, learn new magics and maybe become a wizard hero like in the books. Recently he has fallen in with the Hammer of Heaven and has been helping her with her quest in return for access to her fathers books! So for now the Wanderer has stopped wandering! Personality/Motivation: Marko is fascinated by magic and wants to learn much more. He won't commit a crime to get his desire, but if it is legal, he'll try it. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Classic mage. Get protected, move around a lot and attack from range! He has a large number of spells and what he chooses to use will vary with the situation! Campaign Use: The expert on magic. If a magical adventure is happening he makes for a good ally! Appearance: 183 cm and 76 kg with long black hair and brown eyes. He wears a three piece suit in black and occasionally a cape (black with a red lining, but you knew that right?) This is your standard super mage type. Suite of attack spells, a few movement spells and some defensive abilities, all with the linking idea of magic. The type has been seen a number of times.Power wise he's got all the boxes ticked. Improvements could be an Astral Spell (costs about 30-40 points), a VPP for magic items (M&M arcanist advantage so 40 pt VPP with OAFs), a VPP for rituals (40 pts with extra time, etc.) as well maybe a few more spells!Personality wise he's maybe a hero. He's the NPC who shows up unexpectedly in an adventure, maybe doing something unsavory! But it seems he is on the side of the angels!

But some weird cult of Ner...gal came in and planned some sort of sacrificial ritual. somehow she managed to hide and when a local hero team came in to stop it, she saw her chance to maybe spoil the whole thing. She should have died, but Anzu, the King of the gods (She said something about Odin and Zues and he quickly set her straight). Anyway, as a reward for her heroism, she was gifted with a sliver of power, to help her continue to oppose those who would hurt the just! Now she is Storm Eagle (well part time, she still has to get into High School!) Personality/Motivation: Another Spidey Syndrome with the added nudge from the gods from time to time! Quote: Powers/Tactics: In her normal form she's a 14 year old female. Transformed she looks a bit older (18) and he physique is much stronger and faster. Add a large set of wings and a set of electrical powers and you are done. She prefers to attack at range, since her defence is much better airborne! Campaign Use: More Cults that wish to make hell on earth, but also more mundane crime. Also she's a young lady growing into her power. Maybe in need of a mentor. Maybe even a school for super powered kids (like PS 238 but older) Appearance: 151 cm and 55 kg in normal form with brown hair and eyes. In super form she gains about 15 cm and 15 kg, her hair becomes dark brown and her eyes seem almost golden! Add the large pair of feathered wings. Her costume is a long one piece dress with a belted waist in dark blue and blue slippers! This is almost straight out of Shazam. Flight, Electrical Powers, different appearance when transformed. But she works. Power wise she's a flying blaster with a bit of a twist. She's has a lot of room for improvements: Stats increase (due to her maturing from 14 to 20), and improvements to her electrical powers ( AE cone, Explosion, AP) This would add to her versatility! Personality wise I see her like Peter Parker in the very early Spiderman comics, as a teenager coming into her powers and with growing up. Also we have a link to a little used mythology. So we can get some very weird opponents and some dimensional adventures in the Mesopotamian version of Asgard. So a cool set of powers and a cool background!

Soon he was a target for those who want to kill him /use him / make him a weapon. Then the Mod King found him and took him to his ..... Ark. Whatever it is, it is a place where people with powers can stay, be educated and even relocated. At first he thought it was just for mutants, but anyone, from any origin can be here. Now Breakthrough goes around with a small team to rescue others and offer them help. Personality/Motivation: The Mod King believes that supers need protecting in some cases even more than normals. There are too many out there who see them as weapons or abominations! And Breakthrough is his most loyal follower (think Cyclops to Prof X!) Quote: Powers/Tactics: Great strength, flight, healing factor he's a FISS (Flight, Invulnerability, Super-Strength) He'll always be flying and will try to do move-bys. Campaign Use: You want to do a Mutant type campaign, here's your in! Appearance: 183 cm and 91 kg with blond hair and blue eyes. His consume is a two toned blue with white highlights! M&M World Book had a hero called Twist who had access to a hidden sanctuary in West Africa and used it to provide aid to children and adults who happened to have super powers to protect them from governments who would abuse them. The write up had a Mutant slant, but I sort of mashed them together as I think it makes MUCH more sense as I dislike Mutant hating campaigns where there are many sources of powers (it does work in a mutant ONLY game). So Breakthrough is something of a Cyclops type to the Mod King. Power wise he's a secondary brick. Not top tier, but good as a secondary brick. As it is he's a FISS! What he needs most is some Dex and some skill levels. As well some more skills to round him out! Personality wise you can go in one of two ways. One: More of a Marvel type Cyclops. Decent leader and true believer of the dream of the Mod King. Two: He becomes a Supremist type, who needs to be continually reminded that there are other origins. More a Magneto in the making!

She trained in a number of styles, delved into the philosophy and had her own breakthrough. Like Mr. Lee it was a style of no style. Though things have changed, there are still those who wish a return to the old ways, when it was oriental men in charge. Soon she was fighting challengers of all types. Shortly after she was told of an old cult of ninja like warriors that like to test themselves vs opponents. At first she was thought to be a possible recruit, but then they realized she would not join. Now they send opponents to her to Keep her quiet about what she has learned. So she goes out hunting them at night. She is like a Wraith, silent but deadly! Personality/Motivation: Sloane wanted to teach her new found insights in peace, but that has been denied her. Until she is left in peace, she will not stop. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Wraith is a gifted HTH expert. Though not superhuman, she can perform feats that seem almost super human. Her strength is certainly well above that of a person with her size and build. As are her reflexes. Also with some concentration she can almost seem to pierce armour! Her one weakness is a lack of ranged options! So she will try to get in close as soon as possible and choose battle fields accordingly! Campaign Use: A tie in to the mysterious world of Eastern Martial Arts. Appearance: 173 cm and 68 kg with red hair and green eyes. As Wraith she wears a black one piece uniform and hood with dark blue highlights. Unlike Champions, HU Martial Arts types seem to need a LOT of strength. Like almost superhuman levels of strength. No STR 15 with four levels of damage classes here. That aside, this character does work. She's a kick a$$ HTH master. As I stated her only weakness is a lack of ranged options.Personality wise, she's the reluctant warrior type. She does not wish to fight, but must. She's much like Shang-chi and the games of Death and Deceit. I also tied her into a Gurps organization (the Nimba Cult). So she can be used as an in to the mysterious world of oriental martial arts and mysticism (Big Trouble in Little China).Power wise the obvious is more SPD and some damage classes. More skills. But If you want to go over the top, then some weird MA abilities from old teachers at remote monasteries might be in style. In Hero this was Yengtao Temple stuff, in HU this would be N&SS Chi abilities. Personally I would go for the weird, but I like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor. Scientist. He thought he saw it all. Then some kid hopped up on some new chemical cocktail unleashed a gaseous form near a hospital. Some died. Many went into comas. Some went od drug induced rampages. And Dr. Jones? Well he was that lucky person who connects with his third eye and now has a different view of reality. Steven struggled for a year trying to come to grips with what he was experiencing and finally when he got a handle of his powers, he was let go. That was fine with him. He had found out who had created the cocktail, and what other parts of crime they were involved in. Knowing he was NOT powerful enough on his own to take them out, he used part of his savings to set up an underground medical bay for vigilantes and heroes. Some can pay, from the others, he accepts favours. Soon he will call these favours in and the Physician will prescribe crime a very difficult medicine treatment! Personality/Motivation: Revenge! Bad things have happened to him, he wants to get back at them! They put people's lives in danger with no thought to the consequences and he is tired of fixing up their screw ups! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Besides his training as a doctor, Steven developed a set on psionic powers from his experience. Besides danger sense and precognition and a fast healing ability he also has a set of telekinetic and telepathic powers. His usual tactic is to get airborne and shielded. Then he will use the attack that will do the most good. Campaign Use: A darker version of the heroes. His mission is laudable, but how far will he go? Appearance: 177 cm and 80 kg with brown hair and brown eyes. He dresses casually most of the time, but his costume is a set of surgical scrubs, head covering and mask. Over this he wears a white lab coat. Psionic PCs in HU are very under powered. So I just made it as if it was Hero standard. No ISP, no classes of powers, just straight psionic type powers. So this is a classic TK type with a few telepathic type added in. Personality wise he is the man pushed too far. And now he has the power to fight back. But unlike Spiderman, he is going with power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. His desires are one heroes can sympathize with, but how far are he and they willing to go? Power wise we can get more telepathic powers like Mental Illusions, Mind Scan. Also Pyro type powers could be nice. At this point he'd be like Marvel's Legion!

Andrea Dawn was the MOST special as she was a female. But she was good. So when Project (insert name) came looking for some person to test drive a new "vehicle" Andrea was sent to them. She was perfect. A mental interface device meshed with her perfectly, and she was introduced to her vehicle, a mini mech! Dubbed the Metal Marshal,it was hoped that this would finally be a victory in their attempts to come up with a response to super powered crime. After testing, she was seconded to the Project full time and has been sent to (insert city) to help with the growing problem with super crime there. So far she has surpassed all expectations and it is hoped that Soon newer massed produced versions will be available for law enforcement! Personality/Motivation: A combination of thrill seeker and true patriot. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Outside the suit, she is a trained air force pilot. The suit is about 2.5 meters tall and weighs 1600 kg. As well as great strength and protection, it has a suit of sensors. finally a set of mini missile launchers capable of smoke, CO2, blacklight, multi missile and large missile configurations! Campaign Use: The good side of government super powered projects! Appearance: 179 cm and 64 kg with light brown hair and brown eyes. The suit is big and bulky, (think Stane's armour from Iron Man one) all in blue with red highlights! Power Armour types tend to fall into a few given ... specs. High Str, Armour, Flight, Energy Blasters, and maybe a Sensor Suite. HU checks all the boxes, but still seems.... bland. But here we do have a bit outside the box. No Blasters, but a Mini-Missile system. But it still keeps to the idea that PA has to be BIG and BULKY (Like Shellheads first grey suit from the 60's comics). So in one way I like it, but in another, meh.Personality wise, nice touch, she's not a scientific or mechanical genius. Rather she is a high ranking member of the military with all the bells and whistles that brings. So she's Hal Jordan, but in Ironman's suit. (Wasn't there an amalgamation of them somewhere?) So she should be portrayed as a trained soldier. BUT she has ties to the Project that developed the PA. Ties could be made to Calamity (Bionics) and Whirlwind (Drug and brainwashing) if you want to show that this group, while laudable, has certain factions that are skirting the law, or even out and out breaking it. A campaign with all three as NPCs could make for some very interesting role playing!Power wise, like I said the Mini-Missile system is a nice touch and can be easily expanded on like KO gas, Concussive (2X KB), AP, Explosion, Entangles, Flashes. The Swiss Army knife approach. But the idea that the armour HAS to be BIG and BULKY (all HU PA has this problem I find) needs to be ....just gone. This is super tech, its not supposed to make sense. So, normal size but still Str 60. Also she's a test pilot for the Air Force in a vehicle that can't fly? NOOOOOOO! Even Stane's Armour could fly.There is a gem in here, but we need a lot of cutting and polishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first they were simple thugs, but as time went on they started looking into martial arts as a way to gain an edge. Eventually they developed a style called Tien-Hsueh Touch Mastery. It was short on basic attacks or defences but rather stressed the use of chi to make yourself stronger or to make others weaker. Li was a prodigy. Killed his first man by twelve. By fifteen he was being sent on regular missions. But then the unthinkable happened. Li made a friend outside the family, someone who accepted him for who he was. They went on secret excursions and he was soon experiencing emotions he was unfamiliar with. Empathy, sympathy, mercy. Soon he realized his life was a lie. He left in the night. Since then he has been on the run as the family cannot tolerate a defector of his ability. So to hide himself he crafted the identity of Devil Fist for when he needs to go a deal with emissaries sent by his family! Personality/Motivation: Growth as a human being. They raised him as a weapon, but he is seeing there is more than his missions. Quote: Powers/Tactics: In HTH Devil Fist is very nasty. His use of chi allows him many abilities. Increased running, a chi shield that protects him from damage, the ability to increase his strength, dexterity, etc. Finally the ability to affect others by becoming a chi ghost, increasing the force of his blows, affecting their recovery and finally being able to kill with a touch. His main problem is a lack of ranged options! Campaign Use: Redemption. He's like Shang Chi. He could even lead into an arc where the family is destroyed! Appearance: 172 cm and 70 kg with black hair and dark brown eyes and obviously oriental features! Here we have a HU Martial Artist that used N&SS to bring something new to the character. Now the MAs in N&SS are ... interesting. And some are very over the top, so perfect for a supers type setting. And this is no different. Touch Mastery is essentially small on physical damage and long on those KEWL MA abilities. Personality wise... like I said he's Shang-Chi (go check it out, it was a VERY cool comic with a very conflicted main character). His life was built on a lie, he's a child soldier who has since escaped his masters. A whole redemption arc can be built around him! Power wise.... well lets see. Special Chi powers like channeling his internal energies for death touch, increased force, greater awareness, protective abilities and even augment his physical abilities! To balance this he has severely reduced SPD. So yes his SPD stat is low, but given his defenses and raw damage, and ability to Aid his stat scores he can ramp himself up real fast. He can get his Str to 34 (extra 2 1/2 dice damage), Dex to 24 and Running to 18. That alone is pretty strong. So maybe a SPD 4 could be tolerated. As he progresses, like I said a point in SPD, maybe some more weird CHI powers, a Larger End Battery for more and longer uses. Again, this is SUPERheroes, go nuts!

At first he used it to solve some local crimes, then after making a fortune in investments because he could see the connections others missed, he hung up his shingle as a PI. Need someone to look into those shady guys for background, call Inquest. Have something mysterious happening at the old army base outside of town, call Inquest. want to find a connection to a series of disappearances at the local dive bar, call Inquest. But now Inquest is getting worried. He has noticed connections concerning (Insert Conglomerate). It seems to go everywhere, and Inquest has no idea who to trust. So he's calling in some favours! Personality/Motivation: Driven to uncover the truth, Inquest has also developed a large dose of paranoia. Quote: Powers/Tactics: He's not a fighter, but an investigator. Not that he can't fight, but against full fledged supers, he's outmatched. So he watches, compiles and then leaves clues for local supers. Campaign Use: If your team has no investigators, then he's a way to show them how to do it. Also a possible lead into a conspiracy! Appearance: 184 cm and 82 kg with brown hair and eyes. He wears nondescript clothing of muted colours and a full face mask when he needs it! So a HU Super Sleuth. I have done this before, and what I noted then still applies. They are woefully under powered. Great selection of skills, but that is about it. Now this is great as an idea, but in practice it doesn't work. If the game is centered around him, then the rest are bored as he's getting all the attention. If it is something that can challenge the rest, he is totally overpowered and can at best, cower in the corner and wonder if he wore the brown pants that day! Personality wise, he's the Question from the DC Universe. Just watch Justice League Unlimited to get an idea! Go nuts with every strange connection you can tie into his story, it is bound to work sooner or later! Power wise..... well he needed upgrades. Better martial arts, a few gadgets and some better stats. Later improvement can be... well more skills, more toys, etc! Eventually he will be the Question mixed with a large dose of Batman!

But her father was killed by some.......Thing. Her mother went a bit nuts after that and started travelling the country to find the thing that hurt her family. Soon she became a well known figure in the bounty hunting community as one who specialized is those UNUSUAL cases. Deanna became her pupil and later her partner. But when her mother went up against something too powerful for her, Deanna managed to get herself and her sister to safety. Making sure her sister was safe, Deanna has gone back into the bounty hunting life. After a few years her sister has rejoined her. Known as Perdition, she is the hammer of righteous punishment made manifest. Personality/Motivation: SomeTHING bumps us, we BUMP back! Quote: Powers/Tactics: A trained hunter and rifle person. Deanna prefers to sit back and shot. She has a variety of weapons and will choose the one that best suits the situation. Campaign Use: She hunts the most dangerous game. It need not be supernatural, so any supers are fair game! Appearance: 179 cm and 70 kg with short brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a full set of tactical gear when on the job. This is the Bounty Hunter type that like the Super Sleuth, looks great on paper, but is under powered in practice. This is the Punisher wanna be, and in a low powered game would work. In the original HU, PCs get one (1) power, so this archetype worked. But when HU went up in power, this archetype was not improved. Personality wise, this is the Punisher with a dose of Helsing. So if you have some villains who could legitamitely have a bounty on him, then she and her sister (coming up after) could show up. Also if you think the players need more help, here is a reason for them to be there! Power wise, she's just short of a super agent. Gadgets and guns are her stock in trade! So for improvements, just more stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After her mother died, Deanna made arrangements for her to finish her education. So Samantha found she had a knack for intelligence, how to find secret and how to use them. Eventually she was hired by a mysterious benefactor who funded people and groups like her to hunt down crooks, especially super crooks. After many missions, she found her sister had been hired to help her find the killer of their mother. They found they worked well together and soon people found out Perdition had a partner, Nemesis! Personality/Motivation: See Perdition! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Same as her sister, but has more mobility due to her jet pack! Campaign Use: See Perdition! Appearance: See Perdition but hair is darker and eyes are green! Super agent types are a staple in comics. And HU is no exception. It is slightly better than super sleuth or bounty hunter, but only because they actually get better toys. Personality wise she's a 007 type with more high tech goodies. And is more inclined to do her research, so her and Perdition should always be in a position to attack where and when it would do the most harm! Power wise she has all those special gadgets and could have a VPP of special gadgets "just for a certain emergency" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a wheelchair all the time, she was becoming bitter, until a fire in her apartment almost killed her. Only a rescue from a superhero saved her life. On that day Serena threw herself into her studies and became a librarian. She wanted to do more though. Then one day at the library she found a hidden archive, and a book written by John Dee. When she opened it, the pages lit up and covered her. That day she was empowered and Seraph appeared as the cities newest hero! Personality/Motivation: Protect those who cannot protect themselves! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Another FISS. Get up into the air, hit it hard! Campaign Use: Idealistic hero. Can her shininess affect the heroes? Appearance: 171 cm and 60 kg with brown hair and eyes in normal form. In hero form add 10 cm and 10 kg and her hair becomes a long black mane! Seraph is actually from Powers Unlimited and uses one of the new Archetypes inside. This is the person with a who transforms into a super powered form. It is much like the Mystical Transformation type (See Storm Eagle) but without the magic. And also this person specifically has an impairment that affects them physically, like blindness, or paralysis. But then they transform, here we get anything from super guy to incredible bulk. So here we get a lady partially paralyzed (legs) who witnesses greatness. So Barbra Gordon becomes Superwoman! Power wise a FISS. I seriously would not allow her strength to get much higher. Move-bys already do 12d6 and a move-through tops out at 18d6. She is nasty enough in HTH. Instead some skill levels, more skills and maybe some extra senses. Personality wise, she's the forgotten person who now has a voice. Lets face it, people with disabilities are ignored and treated as less capable. Now she is very capable. So we could get her becoming an advocate or spokesperson for various charities. And reminding the heroes about those invisible people the make up the city they are in.

Oh boy! Woooo! Good times! Yeah the bullets hurt, but pain is the spice of life and bullets are the paprika of pain (Ha Alliteration!) Now I know you didn't expect me to save you, these are mere gangsters, not a world ending threat. Shouldn't some lesser hero be coming to save you? Don't worry, I won't hold that against you. But I wasn't always the peak of DESTRUCITY you see here. Once I was boring and serious. I was sooooooooo blah blah blah serious. NOW! I go on adventures, save the world, come back have some smores, braid our hair. Once I even save the world from the spring loaded rocket propelled cyber piranha by sending them back to their home dimension (at least I hope it was their home dimension, otherwise some people are gonna be peeved!) You never heard of it????!!! WHAT? It was the story of the century. Do you have a TV? Are you Amish? You poor guy, I'll just have to get you one. Then you can follow the adventure of the Never Ending Cherry Death Machi..... No its not a stupid name, it is a great name. Your name is stupid. I hereby name you Steve. No don't thank me for making your name easier to remember! Personality/Motivation: Go out, have adventures and generally go crazy! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Run in and start hitting. If he has to take a hit to deal one out, he'll do it and trust in his powers to keep him alive! Campaign Use: Comic relief? Appearance: 181 cm and 80 kg with brown hair and brown eyes. His costume is a red and black bodysuit with a full hood. (and we all know why he's wearing the red pants!) For some reason HU has a fascination with .... Crazy Heroes. So naturally in Powers Unlimited there is a section for Crazy Heroes. Again it is not so much a power source as an archtype. In this case we have a person who creates a potion that grants him super powers as well as a major personality shift sort of like the Nutty Professor (Jerry Lewis version) So we have a man who is normal most of the time, but when he drinks his potion, well...... Power wise he's actually kinda weak. Note I should have given him damage Resistance 10/10 Only in Hero ID, but it still is a bit lackluster. He is another HTH guy in a sea of HTH. With all the Powers from HU and PU that he could get. I know that the OP was looking to make HTH because apparently HU favours HTH combat. Personality wise we have Deadpool. But without the guns. He's the guy who charges a Villain like Coppertop (Mega villain with str 60, Body of metal, and Electrical Powers), gets beaten to a pulp and shows up 10 minutes later, all healed and ready to go. A Leroy Jenkins who cannot die. Whether you want such a NPC in your game is up to you. But gauge your players correctly as to how much they can take!

High school by age 8. PhD by age 12. She was fascinated by energy. It could be measured, shaped, transformed, BUT NOT defined. The matter- energy connection eluded all. But on her 16th birthday she found a tenuous connection. This opened up many new avenues for research and would have garnered her accolades like Newton and Einstein. But Gabriella loved superheroes. She built a pair of gauntlets to manipulate the forces she found and entered the supers scene. On her first adventure she ran into Inquest and he has been tutoring her in investigation techniques. Now a bit more mature Reciprocitor has become a larger player not only as a hero, but an expert in many scientific phenomena! Personality/Motivation: A challenge. Gabriella likes to be challenged, either physically or mentally. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Her gauntlets surround her with a shimmering purple/green field that allows her to absorb attacks and fire them right back! She can also use the energy to fly and wrap her hands in a concussive sheath! Campaign Use: Another smart intelligent super genius young lady! Appearance: 163 cm and 64 kg with dark brown curly hair and light brown skin. Her costume is a silvery bodysuit with gold gauntlets. She wears a silver helmet with clear goggles in front! Gramercy Island had a villain called Firefly whose armour mimiced effects from the super powers table, like wings, energy expulsion etc. So it is no surprise that in Power Unlimited we get a section on the Mad scientist hero. These people create devices that uses Rube Golberg tech that mimics powers rolled on the powers table. It comes complete with a costs, time to create a new one, (if at all) and as with the magical items, the item is locked to a certain level as far as power goes. It is NOT perfect, but for those who want to do a more Tony Stark type armoured PC, well it seems to work. So we get Gabriella, a genius so high even other geniuses have trouble following her. In fact only Car Mage is close. And of course rather than making money with her devices, she becomes a superhero. Personality wise, she's the Mad Thinker again. She wants to be challenged, physically and mentally. She's actually bored and needs a challenge. Even more so she is Shiri from Black Panther. Power wise, she's the person who comes up with cool toys. The bracelets that allows flight, force field and force blasts. The belt the grants invisibility. In Hero she can go nuts.

Self educated, she has unofficially learned enough to get at least three PhDs. But everyone thought so slowly and predictably. The only ones who could keep up with her were super like Car Mage and Reciprocitor. So she took it upon herself to use her learning to help people. She researches happenings, investigates and then ruins them. Taking the name Enki from the Mesopotamian god of mischief, she has become a stinging fly to the criminal world! Personality/Motivation: Enki is a Mad Thinker. She loves a good mystery and a challenge. Her methods may be a bit dubious, but she is certainly on the side of the angels! Quote: Powers/Tactics: A top flight mind backed by a lot of skills and some esoteric mind over body abilities. She relies on being under the radar. You don't know she's involved until it is all over. Campaign Use: Another NPC investigator if your team has none! Appearance: 182 cm and 70 kg with long black hair and blue eyes. She generally wears a pair of black jeans and a long sleeved black t shirt with a dark blue duster type jacket. his is another OCC in HU where it gives major bonuses to the mental skills. And to skill in general. The term is Skill Monkey, the person who seems to know every skill available. These are the people SO smart they have Multiple Degrees and are top flight martial artist and champion surfers and expert skiers and..... Hard to pull off in any game as skills costs. So here we get the class that really gets it all.Personality wise she's much like Reciprocitor, the world is too slow for her thinking. She needs a challenge. So she looks around for some mystery, starts investigating, gathers info, makes connections, then causes events that cause it to all come apart in what looks like bad coincidences! The only thing is this sounds a lot like Inquest! The only difference is some esoteric mind over body abilities that really make this a bit better that the Super Sleuth! In a low powered campaign though, it would shine.Power wise, like I said above, this is really for a low powered game. If I was playing this, I would almost never get into a fight. Why, when I am really a normal with a lot of skills. GMs would have to work hard to make sure this is played up, not always well suited to a Supers game!

Just training. Training. Training. Soon she was the best in her class and told her purpose: as an enforcer/assassin to the (insert villain organization). But before she could get sent on her first mission, two people came to warn her. They said the (agency) was not what it seemed and that they could show her the truth. Curious she went with them and found they were members of her extended family, who had searched for years to find her after her parents were reported killed and her missing. They spent months deprogramming her, all the while dodging attack by the (agency). Now she will take her revenge. They gave her the name Nemain, now it will become the last name on their lips! Personality/Motivation: Re-re-revenge! And a case of finding out who she truly is! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Nemain is a master of HtH and ranged weaponry. If it can be wielded as a weapon, she is its master. So basically a Hawkeye/Green Arrow type with training in HtH weapons. Best fit is the Shang Chi villain, Zaran the Weapons Master Campaign Use: A western version of Devilfist. Appearance: 175 cm and 60 kg with short brown hair and hazel eyes. She wears a suit of simple armor and carries a bow and set of trick arrows as well as a pair of escrima sticks! So this is the type who uses old fashioned weapons and are experts in their use. In addition the OP talked about adding trick arrows if he could figure how to do it in HU. Well in Champions that is easy. Power wise this is your basic archer super hero. An arrow for every occasion. Add in some decent HTH skills and weapons and you have a pretty competent NPC. And the progression should be very easy.. MORE Arrows. Nastier Arrows. In Champions this build also gave me a chance to use the Ranged Martial Arts skills, and she can certainly get more of those and more damage classes. Personality wise, this is almost exactly like Devilfist earlier, but westernized. Its a classic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 So next up I am going to take the Code Names from GI Joe and coming up with a build for them. Note I am NOT making a character, but someone who just happens to have the name.

Mr. R Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Been a while but I am back. We will start with the most recognizable Joe... Snake Eyes. For this one I went with literal snake eyes and the idea of medusa. Or basilisk.... I remeber an old villain with that name, so I started with that. I then got the idea of a very durable blaster, who can sit in the middle of a fight and still stay standing.

In addition to his thieving skills he had a temper and got involved with a lot of fights and rumbles. But his life changed when he was hired by a new mob lead by a guy calling himself Thugmaster. TM needed a few items taken from a high tech safe and Sean was hired to help provide technical backup. And of course things went south. Intervention by Until and an independent super team resulted in a mad exchanges of energy blasts. And Andy had just gotten into the safe and grabbed the package when it was hit by a stray blast. The resultant explosion tore into him and he almost passed out. He managed to make it out and to the safe house. When he woke up TM was looking at him curiously asking how he felt. His answer was "Weird!" Apparently the energy explosion mutated him and he now looked like a male Medusa. Testing his powers, TM asked if he wanted to be on his Super's Squad. Andy agreed and took the name Snake Eyes to reflect is current looks and the bad luck he was going to bring to heroes. Personality/Motivation: Never one to hide Snake Eyes is confident to the point of arrogance. His temper has mellowed, but he still jumps in before everything is known. He figures he has these powers and people need to know who he is now. As well underlying it all is a desire to get back at all those do gooder who have ruined his life. Quote: I see you! Powers/Tactics: Snake Eyes' powers are first a changed physique. In good condition before, his strength is impressive now, but it is his durability that is amazing. His skin is bullet proof and his resistance to injury is such that most small arms fire will not hurt him. Second is the ability to fire blasts of energy from his eyes that can damage or blind his targets. He has learned to re-direct the energy to fly, but uses it mostly to get from area to area, but not in combat. Thirdly is a chameleon like ability and an ability to climb walls with no tools. Snake Eyes typically acts as a gun emplacement. He will find a good spot and fire his eyebeams to hurt the enemy. If he has to get sneaky, he'll go invisible and reposition himself to get a sneak attack if possible. He prefers to fire his Power Blasts and will only use his flash if told to, or he sees an advantage to it. But he is not stupid. Campaign Use: Career crook with no redemption. He likes to hit people. Appearance: Human male with green skin and hair that looks matters and almost snake like. His eyes are bright yellow with cat's eye slits. His costume is a black and brown bodysuit with a snakelike scaly look to them! If this build is too weak, add to his strength, maybe, but better to add to his eye beams. An AE Accurate blast and maybe an Entagle could add to his tool box. Also if you want to make him more powerful add a dice or two to his blasts. To weaken him, get rid of all but the basic blast and his Chameleon abilities and maybe is skill levels. So any comments or ideas. Please keep them constructive however!

Mr. R Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Scarlett. What to do. I envisioned an energy blaster, but how to make her ... special.

Poverty was a fact of life. One area she would get away into is her daydreams. Her and her imaginary friends played games and had fun in a beautiful dreamscape. As she grew up she began attracting attention, not the positive sort. Harassment started and soon it became very overt. Then came the inevitable day she was cornered. She wished one of her friends could help her, and suddenly there was a dark red image of her beside her. She yelled for it to help her and soon her attackers were themselves attacked. After chasing down the last man, her shadow came back and helped her to safety. She now realized that she had called something. Further experimentation showed she had other powers and soon Mary was offering her services as a Meta human. Soon she was contacted by Thugmaster's minions and offered a position in his strike team. The money is good and she gets to keep what she takes. Now here daydreams are going to make her rich as Scarlett and her Shadow! Personality/Motivation: Money. She was poor. The attack though dangerous was not deadly and has mostly fueled her greed, as money get her protection and a better place to live and guards.... Quote: Just me and my shadow Powers/Tactics: Mary can surround herself with a reddish energy that gives her the name Scarlett. Most of her powers are support except for one which summons a dark red almost black red image of herself which she can order to attack, defend or complete other action. It seems totally loyal to her and will go on the offense with her providing the defense. It makes for a very formidable duo. Campaign Use: The misguided villain. If not for the fork in the road could she have become a hero? Can she still be turned? Appearance: A beautiful young woman of African American decent. She has short black hair and brown eyes. Her costume is a bright red bodysuit. This is a build that can become very powerful. Between them they have eight actions and this can overwhelm many opponents. But if it looks like they can take it or are overconfident, let her loose. To make her more powerful is easy. Either add to her EC and adjust all powers accordingly. OR allow her to summon MORE Shadows. I would go for the first route myself as the second can open a race of power creep. To power her down I'd reduce Spd of her and her Shadow to 3. This gives them 6 actions in total. Also getting rid of the bonus wisdom will necessitate more control checks more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
