Might be a good idea to give him the ability to speak English, French, or German in addition to his native Russian.

Background/History: Clifford Avery was the do the right thing poster child. His moral code helped propel him up the ranks. Later it helped him when he became an agent for the government. Then a higher up who wanted to disband Avery's squad decided to do it the old fashioned way, send him on a job labeled easy but actually a set up. Most of the squad was killed except for Avery and his friend. After exposing the conspiracy, he retired and left Washington. But a year later he was back. Not to work, but to get some gadgets. He had become BORED and wanted to help people. So after getting a few goodies, he put out feelers and offered his services as Cliffhanger.

Personality/Motivation: A genuinely nice guy, Clifford is the type of person you hope is in agency service. But years of training have also made him a professional. He never goes in without some plan, but also realizes that first contact will change thing. Basically he's a father figure type and he's not afraid to say so.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A highly trained agent, Cliffhanger will have a plan, but is fast to adapt when needed. If possible he'll use his blaster, but HTH is not foreign to him. Add a jetpack for getting around, a set magnetic clamps for wall walking, and a suit of body armour and you have a pretty complete package.

Campaign Use: Elder statesman, role model, source of information.

Appearance: An older gentleman of around 50 in prime shape. His hair is black going grey at the temples. His costume is black with silver trim, with a silver jetpack and boots, and a greyish metallic pistol!

SO for this build I pulled out my copy of UNTIL and gave him a set of packages based on his history. So basic, investigator.... Well it worked. Then I added the gadgets and gizmos, gave him a set of Disadvantages and he was good.

I like this NPC. I'd love to play a variation of him in a FtF game. He's James Bond in a Supers World.

Background/History: Doctor John Doxen was a scientist headed to a great career. He was in the process of developing "e-mesh" a fabric that could absorb and re-direct energy. While testing his suit, he heard about a group of terrorist who had stated they had made a bomb and were going to detonate at a major nuclear power station and overload it it if their demands were not met. Rushing to the scene to help, he got there just in time to help defeat the terrorist. But one had activated the bomb and the ensuing blast would devastate the area. So he jumped on it just as it exploded, hoping his suit would protect him. It did, but the intense energies fused the suit to him and drove him mad. He now believes he is the personification of man's desire to destroy itself. Calling himself H-Bomb, he'll gladly help them along!

Personality/Motivation: Mankind is a blight upon the planet and needs to be eradicated for the good of the planet.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: Able to absorb energy and redirect it, H-Bomb gets tougher the more you hit him. He saves his flight for getting around, as he prefers to act as a gun emplacement. Add an arsenal of gadgets for emergencies or if he knows who he's going to fight, and you have a tough opponent.

Campaign Use: Save the city. Save the (insert official person). H-Bomb thinks big.

Appearance: Covered in a yellow mesh suit with only his face showing.

SO this is a variation of Man Tree from before. Starts average but ramps up quickly. This guy has the tragic back story and the life changing event. So there is a method to his madness, and if you use him a good read of Nihilist philosophy would be good. For some players this could lead to some introspection about their PCs.

Build wise this was another who needed work! He had a 11d6 blast and 11d6 absortion (they never specify energy or physical) so his blast could get to 22d6 YIKES! SO I changed and balanced things out a bit and gave him a bit of movement! So on the whole if find him acceptable!

Background/History: No one knows where this robot comes from and it is not saying. Many think it is from the future and Scratch the supervillain has said as much. How it got here is not known, but it does seem to have a desire to dominate and destroy. So far it has tried to destroy a high tech think tank and and underground city. How this works into its goals is unknown. But rest assured Crimson Catastrophe will win.

(for the GM, she is a robot from the future brought here by accident and gaining sentience as a result. Though defeated, eventually she resurfaces, where her self-repair circuits kick in and she goes off again)

Personality/Motivation: None really, She just seems to have this desire to destroy and conquer!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A highly advanced combat robot that happens to look female. Strong, agile durable with a powerful blast ability.

Campaign Use: Engine of destruction!

Appearance: A full red bodysuit except for what looks like blond hair cascading down her back!

So the unknown, unnamed cypher who does things just because. Now I love the build, but that back story needs major work, more that my humble skills can supply.

Now the reason I love the build is that this is a NPC designed to take on a team. Great dex, high SPD, Good Str., and defences, has a ranged option. Aaron Allston once recommended that if you want your team to develop some tactics, you make a villain who can out-dodge the Mart. Artist / Speedsters, go toe to toe with the brick, and blast like the blaster. Then give them a target. This is that NPC. So if only for that purpose would I recommend using her/it!

Background/History: Chanelle Moretti, mob victim. Her father worked as an enforcer, until he fell on the wrong side of a made man. The man decided themake an example of her father by killing the family. But on the night it happened, her powers kicked in and she rushed to safety. Now an orphan, she moved in with her uncle, a retired policeman. There he trained her in combat, shooting, and detective work. And when she was ready, she donned a white costume and went in search of her father's killers. She got them all, but it didn't satisfy. There are so many more mafia, triad, russian mafia, yakuza etc. Poltergeist is just getting started.

Personality/Motivation: Driven by pain and anguish, she researches her targets, then stalks them until the time is ripe to strike.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A trained agent type with the ability to go invisible and desolid. She can adjust the solidity to allow her to attack. She never strikes openly. Ambush is her style, and given her powers, she's very good at it!

Campaign Use: There but for the grace of providence go the heroes. She means well, but her methods leave a lot to be desired.

Appearance: A beautiful young lady of Italian extraction with black hair and brown eyes. In costume none of this is seen and she wears a white bodysuit with skirt, boots and gloves of white. She has a complete hood, and wears a short hooded cape over it all. The only colour is the nickel platen pistols she carries!

So please make note of the Elemental Control. She can go desolid, invisible, and Reduced Damage all at the same time. However the Desolid and Dam reduction are to differentiate between desolid and partially desolid where she can attack. So treat it like an either/or ability. This is because in M&M depending on the costs of Desolid still allows you to affect normal world. Also Affect Normal World is a +1/2 advantage, a far cry from the +2 in Hero. So this is my workaround. As it is her powers allow her to attack where and when she wants.

Personality wise, this is MUCH better than the Crimson Catastrophe listed above. A better back story and lots of role playing hooks. I like it!

Background/History: John Banelli's mother thought that he was touched. he was, but it didn't manifest until much later. As it was, he was bullied in school until he beat his tormentor to a pulp. They left him alone after that. Besides, Johnny was more interested in good grades. After high school, he joined the military and later became an agent. He rose quickly and absorbed al that he learned. But his temper got the better of him too many times and he was dismissed. So after learning how to control his temper he apprenticed himself to a local crime boss. It was during this time he started changing physically and gaining the nickname "Mr.Gravestone". After splitting from his boss, he went into business for himself. Later he found he had fallen in love with a lady in his employ, who was a government agent. But she loved him and left service to marry him. So now he stands at the top of his organization. Woe to the person who tries to mess with it!

Personality/Motivation: Mr. Gravestone has a code of honour and appreciates those who have a code of their own. If he likes you, good. If not then, we'll business is business. In all cases he acts very reserved and calm. Its as if he has become as cold as his namesake!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A gifted HTH fighter, his mutation gives him a distinct edge as his fist can do a lot of damage. Not that he gets into fights often, that is why he has flunkies.

Campaign Use: He's a mob boss, but with a code. But if you need some organized crime angle, here's your man. He can even be an ally "I may be a crook, but I'm an American crook!"

Appearance: At 180 cm and 113 KG, he's imposing. Add a slight greyish tint to his skin and he is even more noticable. Finally one notices the oversized hands that look even more stone like. One thing is always true though, he wears the best tailored suits money can buy, along with the best shirts!

So for your lower powered games, or solo games, here is a honourable opponent for them. He looks pricey, but remember that at least 180 pts are in henchmen/ followers. He's the classic, I'll let my men take care of him, while I leave by the booby trapped back door. Not that he is not capable. If he does decide to join in, it is after you have spent a lot of resources.

Build wise, he's decent. I had to fix a lot in him to simplify his build in my estimation, but the core is still there. He's a HTH nasty. He really is a Kingpin type!

Background/History: Tony Pikes was fascinated with superpowers. He researched various means of gaining them, even stealing a sample of a known mutagen. But nothing happened. So breaking into a lab one night, he started adding chemicals and materials in the hopes of causing some sort of reaction. But while he was mixing a pair of burglars, snuck in and knocked over some equipment setting off a chain reaction that left everyone engulfed in a mist that knocked them out. When he awoke it was to sirens. Reacting instictively, he bashed his way out and flew away. A local hero tried to stop him, but the other two (who had also gained powers) came to his aid. Since he had been called a criminal, he decided to become one for real. Known as The Black Buzzard, he leads the Masters of Crime!

Personality/Motivation: His obsession with superpowers caused him to break some of the morals he had. He wanted to be a hero, but if they view his methods as criminal, then a criminal he will be. Though the other view him as a bit of a joke, they cannot deny that he is a good leader. He doesn't make big plans, but what planes he does come up with are usually well thought out.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: Tall and well muscled, he carries what looks like a wrecking ball on a chain. He generally flies in and takes on the largest opponent so the others can take on the the weaker opposition!

Campaign Use: A group of villains who want to make a fast buck. In addition he wants to continue his research! So robberies, industrial espionage, kidnapping.

Appearance: A tall African-American male with black hair, and black feathered wings. He wear black pants and vest, with blue boots and gloves!

So if you think he's a joke, you are in for surprise. He's a planner, so contingencies will be in place. If he can get the other two to stick to the plan, then this team can be very efficient.

Build wise, I liked it. he's a flying brick with a different look and feel. He really didn't need a lot of fixing, and he still has room for improvement!

Background/History: Jennifer Bailey was a rich, spoiled wife of a collector. Then one day one of his collection items fell a broke hear her. A mist escaped and engulfed her. Jenny was sure that bad thing were gonna happen and they did. Suddenly she seemed cursed with bad luck. She became to poster child for Murphy's Laws. Broke and divorced she decided to go into burglary. On her first job she met Jack and though they argued, they also realized that they were an effective team. Then came the Lab job. After the mist cleared, Jenny found that she could control the air and wind. Taking Jack with her to rescue the third man, they joined together as the Masters of Crime.

Personality/Motivation: Greedy. Jenny wants the finer things in life and views the team as means to an end. She feels no loyalty to Black Buzzard, but he leads well. But if Jack decided to leave, she'll probably go with him!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: Jenny can control air and winds for a number of effects. She can fly, put up an air shield, fire concentrated wind blasts, suck the air out of an area, stir up a dust cloud and even push things with the wind. She can get quite creative when she needs to.

Campaign Use: See BOOMerang!

Appearance: A small woman with short brown hair. She wears a black and red bodysuit with a black mask.

She can be a wild card, but with the group she plays ideal support. As long as the team is successful, she will stay.

Build wise she needed the least help. She is a classic flying blaster. Get airborne, set up opponents, interfere with opponents movement or vision. She trusts Black Buzzard to keep is opponent busy, so she concentrates on the backline!

Background/History: Jack Darby grew up in Australia where he met a retired villain called Dr. Boomerang. Jack idolised the man, and learned all he could about the tool. He even improved on many of the designs the good Dr. had developed. But the action was in america and there Jack met up with Jenny. Though they bickered constantly, they knew they made a good team at soon they were committing crimes across the country. One night they had broken into a lab which they had heard was housing some rather rare materials that many would pay good money for. But an accident with another person already in the lab cause a minor explosion and black out. When he came to, Jack had found his agility was increase and that his hearing was now like a bat. When Jenny discovered her own powers, they decided to rescue that third man. After all there is safety in numbers, and he may make for a good fall guy one day. But right now BOOMerang is having fun!

Personality/Motivation: He likes the criminal life. He's no killer, but if it's not nailed down then its begging to be taken. And it might as well be him.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: Jack's mutation is the least obvious. Basically he has agility and reaction times that belies his frame. In addition his hearing has been improved to the point that he can navigate in complete darkness. He can even target opponents with his hearing. Add in an arsenal of trick boomerangs that can flash, cause oil slicks, gas opponents, explode on contact, and other effects, and you have a wild card. And if you think he's no good in HTH, his fighting sticks can change that fast.

Campaign Use: Mercenary villain. right now he's with the Masters of Crime, but he can show up anywhere if the money is good.

Appearance: Short and pudgy, he has brown hair and eyes, and an amiable face. He wears a form fitting two tone brown bodysuit, and looks like a joke, at least until the weapons go flying!

A fast talking, wise cracking bundle of energy. His mutation in the original was not really explained so I went with an enhanced hearing mentioned in his build and expanded it, made it more Daredevil like.

One thing I changed was the weapon. The original were boomerang/ax devices, a mixture of the two. I just made it more classic boomerang.

He's another looks like a joke type, but really he's pretty efficient. Another great support type. And with room to expand as you get ideas for more boomerang types.

Mr. R · August 31, 2018

Team tactics

First, remember that the leader is a planner. So they will have a plan and back ups in place.

Black Buzzard charges in to what looks like the toughest opponent. Twist will fly high to take out any flying opponents (if she can get around he desire to fight ladies first), and BOOMerang will drop attacks on the back line to keep them busy. Boomerang and Twist have been partners for years so will double team at a moments notice. And they are not too proud to retreat.

Background/History: An only child of doting parent, Lacie lost her mother at a young age due to complications in her pregnancy. So her father raised her by himself. When she became ill soon after, her sought a radical treatment involving strange substances and techniques. Whatever it was worked and soon she returned to full health. Soon she excelled in school and in her father's after school lessons in survival and martial arts. But she also developed an obsession, with the super-natural. She wanted to study parapsychology at university, but her father persuaded her to go into psychology. Getting her masters in record time, she is now a respected lecturer and professor. All of which finances her private investigations into the supernatural. Lacie Delmont is here to look into it.

Personality/Motivation: Very forward and opinionated, Lacie is also loyal, devoted and tenacious. This makes for a top rated private eye!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: Some say the treatment that healed her worked too well. Lacie is stronger that she appears and agile beyond the scope of the best gymnasts. Add a top class mind tied to a great education in investigation. She also has a collection of supernatural nick nacks, the main one being an old style long barreled colt that shoot magical bullets. Though not afraid of combat, Lacie gets more satisfaction from outwitting her opponents!

Campaign Use: If you have a supernatural element, the Lacie will be in there knee deep. Also she is an authority on the supernatural, so having her used as an advisor would be useful also!

Appearance: At 180 cm and 68 KGs, Lacie would stand out in any venue. Add waist long white hair and an athletic figure. On the job she wears a black bodysuit with black boots and a black overcoat!

So this is a homage to all those horror/occult comics from the 60's. But for a change of pace, we have a brilliant female protagonist. I like it. She is great for a specific type of campaign, and as an NPC is a valuable source if knowledge. Basically she's a prettier, more amiable Constantine!

Power wise she was pretty OK. I just added a gadget pool and some Martial Arts to flesh her out a bit.

Background/History: When an unknown dilatant tries to summon forces to help him in his plans, he got more that he bargained for when a 3 meter tall, hulking monstrosity crying out "Who summons ORglo?". A quick bit of shuffling furniture (That broke the summoning circle) and "Orglo is FREE!" after a chase and battle, Orglo appeared to die and disappear with inly the glowing ball that followed him slowly fading away. But then a few months later, he was back. And again he appeared to die. Now people wonder when he will appear again, and what his plans are?

Actually the creature they refer to as Orglo is the servant. Orglo is actually the glowing ball that follows him around. A botched magical service caused him to lose his body. Only Logos his servant could hear him. When he tried to get Logos to reverse the magical ceremony, an accident cast him to another dimension instead. Now he wanders the earth, looking for a way to restore his body! Thyen the world will pay!)

Personality/Motivation: A domineering, self-serving jerk, Orglo's tethering to Logoss is almost unbearable. But he is smart enough to know when to make misdirection work. So he allows himself to appear as a energy familiar while Logoss chants thing like "How dare you defy Orglo!" or "Feel the wrath of Orglo!". Otherwise his goal is to get himself a body and start on his revenge!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: His form is almost impossible to hurt, with attacks seeming to pass right through him, if they hit hi al all, given his small size and darting movements! In addition he can cause his glow to flare to blinding levels, use his energies to fire bolts of lightning, and finally deflecting ranged attacks.

Campaign Use: The unknown dilatant is still alive and is technically the master of these two. As a result they keep coming back because he has not freed them yet. So they search, to persuade him to free them, or to cause him to die (which will free them also, they just can't do the killing). As well they search for methods to free Orglo's body!

Appearance: A glowing ball of energy about 25cm in diameter!

Background/History: See Orglo!

Personality/Motivation: Fawning servant to Orglo. To other he is all bluster and aggressiveness!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: Big, strong and tough. Logoss makes it look like he has magic, but it is under orders from Orglo.

Campaign Use: See Orglo!

Appearance: 3 meters tall with a big flesh body, thin arms and legs, with large spade like hands and feet that have eight finger and toes. He is bald, with small tusks coming from his bottom jaw. And is costume is a loincloth!

So this pair oozes cool. What looks like a servant is actually the boss, and what the PCs see is a carefully orchestrated deception. If done right, this pair can befuddle heroes for months.

As with the motif of the Hero Lacie, this is a villain best suited for one hero or a small group with a heavy tie to the magical.

Background/History: Causality. What was it and how did it affect day to day events. But he was hampered by his own lack of raw intelligence to see the connections and this frustrated him. Then he was involved in one of those freak lab accidents where two chemical, a faulty safety feature, a mis-filled fire extinguisher and an electrical fire all served to douse hin in a combo of bio-chemical reactions that left him unconscious. When he awoke, he knew he had been changed. Connections that seemed so tenuous were now blindingly obvious. He was living proof of all his theories. So his first act was to make sure to get revenge on those that belittle him in the past. It went flawlessly, until (insert hero/heros) intervened and threw all his careful calculations off, and rescued the scientist. Here was an anomaly he didn't plan for. He went over his calculations and found where possible fluctuations could affect his solution. Since then he has staged crimes to test his theories, and the heroes are his subjects. That he makes a profit from it is a bonus. As a side project he acts as a scientific advisor/supplier to the underworld. He is the Brainteaser!

Personality/Motivation: A scientist first and foremost, he plans his "crimes" as a series of seemingly unrelated events that culminate in a successful test. But he also wishes to study those anomalies called super, be they hero or villain on his calculations.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A thinker and planner, Brainteaser is the behind the scenes mastermind. He never gets involved in combat, but he does realise he may get attacked, so he carries a pistol and shield device. Also he has good HTH abilities due to his being able to calculate angles, momentum and pressure points. But more likely an encounter with him is him leaving through an armoured door that will trigger explosions and lead to a vehicle to take him to a new lab!

Campaign Use: One: Source of villain gadgets and gizmos. Two: Criminal mastermind behind a series of thefts/accident/disasters that all lead to a major crime.

Appearance: Average height and a bit pudgy, he has grey skin and purple eyes and hair!

SO he's a Mad Thinker homage and really a pretty good one. But I had to change his background and appearance and some of his powers. But the core idea is the same. Now I realize he's not a supernatural threat, but he does appeal to the fact that she is so smart, so as to give him a challenge.

If you have a thinker type player in your game, then he's tailor made. His plots and plans can be made to follow anything the players do as his plans for their intervention. Dismantling his plots will be the hard part. Also I see him as a source of super tech in the game. So this NPC has a lot of potential and use.

Power wise, he's a very behind the scene type. Combat is not his forte. But if you want him to be more competitive, more gadgets, maybe some power armour, but more likely...ROBOTS!

Background/History: Wu Shen, advisor to the Ming Court. He enjoyed swaying the minds and actions of others. Until one discovered he had been trafficking with Dark Forces. The official had Shen quietly poisoned. But in his last moments, Shen made a deal with one of the Dark Patrons and he was returned to life. But he had a job, to find a way to free his Patron from his prison. Shen laboured for ears until he heard rumours that a set of scrolls were key to freeing his Patron. But he became enraged when he found that they had been looted by white foreigners and scattered across the world. Thus he began his travels to gather the scrolls. Now he is in (insert city) following clues to another scroll. Nothing will stand in his way! Jade Fang must not fail!

Personality/Motivation: Deceptive, manipulative and unscrupulous. Jade Fang will do whatever it takes to free his Patron. He is also quietly furious, as his life is not his own. He waits for the day his Patron is freed and he can give full vent to his desires!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A powerful sorcerer with a number of magical abilities. But he prefers to get others to do his dirty work. If can't get them due to blackmail or threats, he will take over their will and force them. In all cases, he enjoys seeing his opponents fail and realise their inevitable destruction.

Campaign Use: A magical threat. He's either looking for a means to free his master or, looking to augment his own powers!

Appearance: Tall and thin, he looks in his fifties with long black hair and thin mustache/beard. He dresses in fine silk robes of green and blue. Around him floats a Jade ghost snake that follows his commands!

And his familiar

So this is a mage done right. Still scary, but less over the top than Jonah was. In retrospect, his powers in the MP should be Multis so he can adjust the power and keep two or even three powers going at once. Also he has that Spirit Snake Familiar. So he will always be double teaming an opponent. He also makes a great patron of a team of villains who do his dirty work!

Build wise, he was a lot less complicated and over the top than Jonah was, and as a result easier to make more powerful. Keep in mind that he's been around. This is a guy who will always have an exit strategy.

Background/History: When your the son of a famous hero, life can't always be easy. Though she died when he was in infancy, the shadow of Ms. Shield always loomed over Bryce Kingsly. He threw himself into training, his mind and his body. And on his 18th birthday, he received a mysterious package, his mother's shield with a note "She wanted you to have this!" When he opened it, it was her shield, but as he grabbed it, it shifted and became multi coloured. It was as if the shield was changing to fit him. Taking the name Onyx, he began patrolling and investigating when two other heroes joined him at the behest of a mysterious Keeper of the Realm. He said they were needed to avert a future catastrophe, and that together they could avert it! So became the Freedom's Trio!

Personality/Motivation: He's a legacy hero, but also a natural leader. But he also questions authority and is not afraid to change plans to fit new information. In addition he's honourable, to his legacy and to his team.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A man at the peak of physical abilities, he has no powers. but for his shield. The shield seem to have no offensive abilities, but has a number of defensive ones he uses to help set up his teammates.

Campaign Use: Bryce is something of a playboy, so he can be introduced as a love interest. In addition, he leads a powerful team, so a team up is very likely.

Appearance: Brown hair and brown eyed. He wears a brown body suit with green highlights tha leave his jaw and hair free. His shield is a small kite shield with a multi-coloured design like his namesake!

So he required work. They gave him no Martial Arts but eight (8) levels All Combat. It had a great premise, but was an example of letting a literal conversion go wrong. So I adjusted the levels, gave him some Martial Arts and rounded out his skills. I also added to the shield, giving it abilities that I thought would work. The DCV is from examples I have seen, Missle Deflection a given, and a Force Wall to represent the "Get behind me!" part we see in a lot of Capt. America.

Personality wise, he's good. A legacy character, playboy, a questioner of government honesty, leader of a super team. Lots of Hooks!

Background/History: Ray Chambers was a sickly child, but determined. He was going to have a normal life. So when his parents heard of a treatment that could help him, they immediately agreed for him to try it. And it worked. Soon he was surpassing normal human abilities. Unfortunately, the good doctor died before he could disseminate the formula, so Ray was the only recipient. So Ray hid his powers until WW2. He could not deny the call of duty and went to Europe, where he clashed with many Axis Powers including Leige Lord. After the War, he returned and fought home crime. But on a trip to the Amazonian jungle tracking some clues, he fell into a coma. A local tribe found him and helped keep him alive for the next few decades. Recently he received a vision from the Keeper of the Realm to find and join two others to avert a coming danger. So Atlas walks the world once again!

Personality/Motivation: He's a throwback to a simpler time. The world is Black and White with no Grey. He will follow order until he sees that they are wrong. But he is a staunch hero who will do what is right!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A flying brick. His tactics are simple, "Fly up and Whack Em" So he always takes point!

Campaign Use: An old fashioned hero. A counterpoint to the cynicism of today!

Appearance: Yellow bodysuit with blue trunks, gloves and boots. He has a mask that covers his eyes but leaves the black hair and his jaw free!

So he's a mix of Capt. America and Superman. And he works. He's a fish out of water. Rip Van Winkle. He comes from a simpler time. Play up his idealism and his "we are better than this" attitude. But remember he comes from a time when overt racism was acceptable, and chauvenism was right. Don't make him a pinata doll, but done right he can expose some lingering attitudes about race and sex.

Power wise he was the easiest to convert. He's a FISS (Flight, Invulnerability, Super Strength). He knows he's tough, let him show it.

Background/History: Nancy Hill was a normal teenager. Until she fell through a cloud of glowing dust. Soon she realised she had developed super abilities. He family found out and helped her adjust, and made her promise to not use them. But her desire of "Great Power means Great Responsibility" came through and soon she was patrolling behind her family's back. then came the visit from the Keeper of the Realm and her joining two others as Dust!

Personality/Motivation: Through a normal teenager, she has a great dose of Spidey Syndrome. So she acts like a carefree girl, but realizes the great burden on her shoulders.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: She's a version of the Wasp. Shrinking, flight and a collection of blasts. In any fight, she'll go small and use her powers to support her team-mates!

Campaign Use: She's a teenaged hero. though she's tried soloing, she doesn't like it. So she's better as a contact or an extra bit of muscle while away from her partners. And there is always a teenage romance if you want to do that.

Appearance: A dull green and black bodysuit with a black mask. Over it she wears a black jacket. Her hair is blond and shoulder length!

So the concept is nice. She provides a female perspective and a youthful (maybe middle view) from her team mates.

Build wise, she required a lot of work. Lack of defenses, and a 5d6 blast made her a fly to be swatted. Seriously, she could not even take on minions. I liked the Wasp aspect, but a bit of defenses, (High DCV does NOT replace PD/ED, Get some JIC), and some decent attacks. If you find it too much knock a DC off. As it is she's support, the one you forget about as a blast comes out of nowhere.

Team tactics.

So again, this is a small team but they should have some solid team tactics. Atlas will take point in all situations. His strength and toughness means that getting hit will not bother him too much and he wants the attention.

Onyx will either be protecting innocents (using his force wall/ missile reflection) or assisting Atlas. If the second, it will be deflecting ranged attacks (if there are any ranged attackers) or double teaming against Atlas' opponent!

Dust will go small and use her blasts like Onyx. She also makes a good scout, but in any fight, she will be at range and using the blast that makes the most sense!
