He'll do anything to escape his growing up in Hell's Kitchen. And for him this meant being a bigger, meaner thug. Then he got a job at Matthew's Genetech. It was common knowledge that the company was crooked, but it gave Carl a veneer of respectability while he set up his protection racket. But eventually the cops figured it out and a fire fight broke out at a warehouse storing various chemicals. Many got sick, some died, but Carl, he gained metahuman powers. Since then he's become the mobs go to enforcer when going up against metahumans. And occasionally asked to make an example of someone. This gives him the chance to show how he got his name, Torque. (he uses his TK to twist your top half in one direction and your bottom half the other.) Personality/Motivation: A sociopath with TK powers. He's a Mafia thug in outlook and action. He wants the good life, no matter who has to get hurt as a result. Quote: Powers/Tactics: A telekinetic, he uses his powers to grab an opponent a twist. If he can't do that, then he'll rely on TK punches and blasts. he's not very subtle that way. Campaign Use: Super powered thug you like to beat up. He's powerful, but beatable. Appearance: 188 cm and 92 KG With black hair and brown eyes. His costume is a brown two toned bodysuit with a hood that leaves his mouth/jaw visible. Every campaign needs a villain tough enough to take a pounding but still be beatable. Torque fills that niche. Power wise he's a TK with a neat twist. His Torque attack is quite deadly if he can get it off. Add his other attacks and he makes a formidable gun emplacement. You'll note his +3 to OCV. He should be scary if he gets a chance to attack, but easy to hit. And he's not very inventive, so stick to an attack pattern!Personality wise, he's a Mafia goon with superpowers. Take Joe Pesci from Casino or Goodfellows and you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which attack is his Torque attack, but I don't see anything really scary in his powerset. I also can't grok where the 39 rDEF figure is coming from, unless you're including the conditional Armor in that tally. Lastly, which TK is the continuous EB linked to?

Well its all in what you think is nasty. In a game where 10 d6 is average then a 14 d6 is nasty. My Hero Designer adds all the armour regardless, so his default defenses are 33pd/33ed with an extra 6pd/6ed under certain conditions. The EB adds to the first TK (40 str) so all told he does 14 d6 damage. Remember as an assassin / Thug for the mob he is generally used against tough normals. A 14d6 attack will shred them. Even low powered supers should be scared of that damage. Not high enough add 2 d6 to make it 16 d6 total. Also remember it is continuous. That's 14 d6 every phase as long as he has hold of you.

Ah, that makes sense. You can fix that pretty easily. Once you've got the power open in HD, there should be a "Totaling Options" dropdown that'll say "Add to Secondary Value". If you switch that to "Do not add to Totals" it'll exclude it from the main tallies. 4 minutes ago, Mr. R said: Well its all in what you think is nasty.

Hadn't realized that the EB was meant to add to the TK, I'd read that as a stand-alone attack. 14d6 makes a lot more sense as a big gun attack, especially if he's fond of haymakers.

Dagon was a loyal US Navy officer until some strange coincidences showed him the duplicity of that Navy in his life. His father was always sick and when his father and mother died of simultaneous heart attacks, he looked into it and discovered his powers were as result of Navy tampering to create a super seaman. He went from loyal to angry in that instant. The navy created a metahuman operative, noe he was going to use those powers for the benefit of metahumans worldwide. He started by stealing a super sub to use as a base of operations. Since then his goal has been freedom for metahumans from the onerous restrictions placed on their life. part of his financing comes from Seahaven, a highly secure data-hub that promises complete anonymity and privacy. Now the world will tremble at the name Seawolf! Personality/Motivation: Starting as an American patriot, he has transferred his allegiance to the downtrodden meta humans of the world. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Super strength, durability and aquatic abilities that make him a natural underwater. Tied to a keen political and military mind. Campaign Use: He's a variation on Magneto. He asks tough questions and will oppose heroes on philosophical grounds. But he's also on the side of the angels and could aid the heroes when push comes to shove. Appearance: 205 cm and 125 kg, blue gray eyes and black hair. His costume is a one piece bodysuit coloured blue and green. So he's a combo of Aquaman/Namor crossed with Magneto and a dash of Captain Nemo. And he works. He's a strong, tough atlantean type character who has taken up the cause of metahuman rights ( What gives a country the right to kidnap a metahuman's family to compel his loyalty.... Why are laws made specifically for metahumans... Why are metahumans denied due process under the law in many countries...) Add that he has a high tech sub and a private organization to support him and he can be a campaign all by himself. In addition he has a cadre of supers he brings along if he thinks he needs help (Seawolf's Get will be created later). Power wise he's tough but don't let the point total fool you. At least 170 pts are in contacts, base and followers. So all told he's about 450 pts. But it is efficient. He can go toe to toe with most bricks, is as fast as a Martial Artist, and in the water should be close to unbeatable. One power I forgot to add was a regeneration just underwater (about 25-30 points). Most encounters with him should be near large bodies of water. Personality wise, see above. This is a NPC which if used right to add a lot of richness and (no pun intended) depth to a campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But her use of the voice was less than stellar. Though as a singer she was amazing, she fell into a cycle of bad boyfriends and bad ideas. Soon she was on the run from both the police and the Mob. When Seawolf found her, she was at her lowest point. Now she serves Seawolf and hope to manipulate him into serving her interests. So far Seawolf has resisted his newest Songbird! Personality/Motivation: Get rich and successful through the application of almost no work. She's a manipulator and seducer. Quote: Powers/Tactics: She's your classic sound blaster. She gets up into the air and supports Seawolf on the ground! As well she is sometimes sent in undercover as Seawolf is smart enough to use her manipulations against his opponents! Campaign Use: One most likely to betray Seawolf for a better deal! Appearance: 180 cm and 70 Kg, with long blond hair, she is the definition of statuesque. Her costume is a dove grey bodysuit with white highlights! This was a very straight up build. Just your basic sound manipulator. Her personality is that of a classic user: find someone to pay her way and glide along in life. So far she has made bad choices. Seawolf is not the best, but is still better than her previous targets. And it doesn't hurt that Seawolf has a strong personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No depth perception, light sensitivity and ghost images all plagued him. Thick polarised lenses that severely limited the light getting into his eyes were his only recourse until a doctor specializing in paranormal powers took an interest. Soon a specialized set of goggles allowed him to control the amazing visual abilities Alan had. But Alan had been picked on all his life, so now he was going to grab his slice of the pie, through any means available. Cheating at card games became easy, but he parlayed his winnings into connections where he used his gifts to spy on others, stealing secrets and blackmailing others. But he wants in on the big time. Seawolf has set up a data haven never seen before. To a person who traffics in secrets, this was the place to be. And so Beholder became the next member of Seawolf's Get. Personality/Motivation: He wants to be where the action is, information wise. If there is a secret, he wants to find it! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Great vision. Infrared, Ultraviolet, X-ray, Telescopic, Microscopic. If it is visible, he can see it. In the field he is not a fighter. Rather he finds a safe location and feeds info to his allies about where the opposition is. Campaign Use: The ferretter of information. Appearance: 179 cm and 70 Kg with brown hair. His costume looks like a set of brown army fatigues, but more form fitting, with a vision assembly on his head. He carries a blaster pistol JIC! He's not a primary combatant. He's more likely the guy they escort in so he can use his abilities to pilfer secrets and information. He has all the vision tricks so this is very possible. But if a fight does occour, he'll find a nice place to hide and then start telling his allies about the movements of the opponents. "Songbird, turn 180 and fire off cone scream" because an invisible opponent was on the field is totally applicable. Personality wise, I made him a voyeur as it says in his description he'd spy on people at delicate times. He should come across as creepy but not totally dangerous.

I'm not good at figuring out other people's emotions from what they write. Your reply could be "short and slightly irritated" or simply "short and to the point". If there is any irritation involved, I apologize for not making my questions clearer. I don't have access to the source material you're using and haven't heard of the characters before. When I ask "Do her powers work normally in a vacuum and underwater?", I'm not asking how I'd build the character because I can figure that out. Instead I'm asking how the character is handled in the source material, or if that is unclear, how you think the character should be handled. I've seen sonic characters with a team equipment Life Support gadget (against vacuum and underwater) who can operate fine anywhere (the LSH's Tyroc, for example) and I've seen mystic characters who use incantations in vacuum and underwater with no problem (almost every mystic in the comics). I've also seen sonic characters whose powers shut off entirely in vacuum and underwater. So when I ask a question, I'm looking for your thoughts because you're the expert on the character herself and how she was used in the source material. My intent wasn't to say "oops, you forgot this" in a passive-aggressive manner so I apologize if it came across that way. About the "Distinctive Features: Gorgeous" disadvantage vs the "24 COM" advantage, the character also has a Disguise skill which suggests that perhaps having a high COM isn't always an advantage to her. If the DF Gorgeous disadvantage is added, random people would be hitting on her in an inappropriate manner (which would make her boyfriend jealous), falling in "love at first sight" with her, maybe starting fan clubs or approaching her (or at least not backing away) in combat, all of which could be disadvantageous to her. If that DF seems appropriate for the feel of the character, great. If it isn't, that's fine as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I used Incantations with the idea that she needs to make some sort of sounds to get her powers to work. I didn't even think of Vacuum and it is very logical. But also sound travels well under water and so I did not add it. The DF is not something I would add just because she is very beautiful. She is above average, but A DF for me for beauty would be a Com of 30+. The disguise is a skill at make up. She can bring it up or tone it down. This suggests another possible Psych Lim Just another pretty face. Not valued for her smarts or ideas (there there my pretty little thing.

Maybe team equipment is covered as part of Seawolf's base and vehicle points? Or I should have added it to everyone before. I often make mistakes like this and have to backtrack a bit. But a secure HRRH device would make sense for a tam like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She started at such a young age, she has forgotten her name. All she knew was the rigid constraints of the training and missions. So when Seawolf offered her a way out, she took it. out of loyalty, she has become Seawolf's bodyguard, and is totally loyal to him. If the Get is around, then Lash is somewhere near Seawolf! Personality/Motivation: Her mission is to protect Seawolf. All her training is to this. Quote: Powers/Tactics: A martial Artist of the first order, many speculate that she is also a low level meta human whose physical abilities just add to the deadliness of her abilities! Campaign Use: Totally loyal member of the Get. Appearance: 173 cm and 50 Kg with long black hair that reaches to her knees. She wears a black suit at all times! The description is of a highly trained and gifted Martial artist / bodyguard. Who likes to use whips. I can see this. So this is a straightforward MA build with an OAF whipchain. Without the whip, she's dangerous, with it she's totally nasty. Personality wise, she's transfered her loyalty to Seawolf. So the totally loyal 2IC. Nobody takes a crack at Seawolf for fear of having to deal with her. One note is all the cramming skills. This is to reflect her doing a crash course on the various Area Know, City Know, Culture Know for each new area rather than listing 25-30 individual ones. So we have a female MiB crossed with Jackie Chan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was found near a wrecked American base in Central America with almost no knowledge of her life. So he took her in to use her talents as a member of his Get. Personality/Motivation: She wants to find out who she was, and Seawolf and his information network are good at finding information. In return she is loyal to Seawolf. Quote: Powers/Tactics: A weather controller, but whose abilities diminished the farther she is from a large body of water (I would say About Great Lake sized is minimum) Campaign Use: The amnesiac innocent. Appearance: 155 cm and 50 Kg with light blue hair and yellow eyes. Her skin is a dark blue and she wears a yellow and blue one piece bathing suit! A weather controller in the vein of Storm of the X-Men. Powerwise I gave a large Change Environment (Note should have added Mega Scale) and a number of powers that a weather controller would have. I may have under powered her, but its easier to under power that overpower! Personality wise I am not given much. She has amnesia and possible hidden hunters (other than the police) Is she a mutant? An alien? A government experiment? She could be a whole sun- campaign all on her own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She picked up the nickname Blaze as a result of her amazing speed and ability to leave a fire trail behind her. When the Magistrate got on her case, she ran. Seawolf found her and offered her protection. Personality/Motivation: She's a biker in the style of Hells Angel. She want to drink, party and drink. And fight when the mood strikes her. Quote: Powers/Tactics: A speedster with a neat trick. As she runs she can leave a fire trail behind her. Si she doesn't have to hit you to hurt you! Campaign Use: Another loose cannon in Seawolf's Get. Appearance: 170 cm and 65 KG with brown hair and brown eyes. She wears biker leather and boots and her arms are covered in tattoos! A speedster with a bit extra. She's like Lightspeed (see earlier) but more destructive. Again, she has a few extra combat options and uses! Personality wise, she's a biker chick with powers. So take your usual view of a criminal biker, make it a girl and give powers and a bad attitude. Powerwise, a fairly straight forward build. Also, if you have Canadian Supers in your game, then she is a logical in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 In a side bar of the book they explain that duos are a staple of the super's genre. A pair of criminals with a theme to them. They even give a couple of sample names like Jack and Hammer (NOPE) or Double Cross (Meh). But I wanted to do a couple and so settled on.... Spider and Fly Punch and Judy So coming up, my takes on these names. Feel free to comment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing his story, John wasn't sure he was sane, but entered into a deal with Fly. Develop a suit for him and in return for training and assistance. So soon Fly was joined by a partner, the Spider! Personality/Motivation: An opportunist and career criminal, John is doing his own scores while helping David gather info on his situation! Quote: Powers/Tactics: David's suit increases his strength, durability and agility. Spider is the HTH person and the suit allows him to use his Martial Arts more efficiently! Campaign Use: Criminal half of a robber duo. Does he believe David, or just stringing him along! Appearance: 181 cm and 84 KG with brown hair and eyes. His armour is black with yellow highlights! I thought about drugs and chemicals and such, but I felt that had been done. Then I remembered a NPC in Gramercy Island called Firefly who had a bug themed Power Armour. There we go. So Fly is the brains of the duo in the mechanical ideas and Spider is the criminal fixer of the team. Wait until I post Fly to comment please. Personality. He's a career criminal who has latched onto the big time and will ride it. Whether the Fly's story is true or not is a complication the GM can add later if he so desires. Power. A martial Artist / Second Story man who has a suit that gives him the abilities of a spider. He's the HTH person of the group. With his strength and the abilities of the suit he should be a dangerous opponent! Add Fly providing covering fire and the two can take on most opponents!

Eventually some sort of scandal involving missing material or his being a stealer of ideas would surface, and he would be let go. David thought he was the victim of a conspiracy, and so conceived of his "Fly" armour to try and gather info to clear himself as he would be like a fly on the wall. But he only made things worse. So now resigned to a life of crime, he has joined with the thief John "Spider" Robertson as the duo Spider and Fly! Personality/Motivation: David feels that he has been unjustly forced into a life of crime, and if so he will be the best criminal he can. So now he wants the good things in life as well as enough money to tool on the armours he has made! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Fly is just as his name sake, a fly themed suit of power armour. He suit gives him strength, durability, flight and has a set of sound blasters he calls his Buzzers. Generally he stays airborne and blasts, or will do a moveby. Campaign Use: Is he really the victim of a conspiracy? Appearance: 181 cm and 84 KG with brown hair and eyes. His armour is black with green highlights! So he's the brains behind the suits. Personality. He's a victim. Whether real or imagined, he feels he's been wronged and that crime is the only way to prove it. So far Spider and a few others are believing him, and he hopes to gather more evidence. So he does a job with Spider to satisfy the money needs, then a Spider helps with a mission to get back at his tormentors. Power. He's the old first edition version of Dragonfly, but with a power armour twist. He generally snipes, but if the opponent is tough enough he'll do a move by or move through. But generally he'll stay airbourn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul and his girl friend survived the process, and Artificer let them loose to see what they would do. Declared missing, Paul decided he and his girlfriend should go into business for themselves. Now they pull scores together and he has taken the nickname Punch as a cover. Personality/Motivation: A crooked cop, presumed turned, with super powers. His main motivation is greed. He wants MONEY! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Punch is a brick. He gets close and deals damage. When with Judy, he'll wait for her to set up an opponent, and then he'll deliver a closing attack. As well he has learned a couple of attacks that will knock people off their feet or hit multiple opponents. Campaign Use: Appearance: at 179 cm and 77 KG he dresses in a head to toe grey bodysuit with a large black "P" on the chest! This is your basic brick build. Lots of strength, durability and a couple of brick tricks for when things get scary. Personality wise I made him a former bad cop, correction, a former greedy bad cop, who has kept the greedy part. Add his familiarity with police proceedures and he's be a valuable addition to any villain team. Add that he's always with Judy and you get a nasty combination. Note: If you see a similarity between this story and The Contenders super villain team I did a number of months ago, you're right. It was too good to pass up!

She ran with the bad boys and participated in many of their antics. And a girls gotta protect herself right, so she learned a few moves from some hard guys who owed her a few favours. She also managed to pick up a lot of skills, and was soon earning a name for herself. And she had a good main man in Paul. Sure he was a cop, but that made it exciting. then came the night at the bar. Artificer wanted to try out some new empowering device and want people who would be easily missed. Genny and he boyfriend survived the process, and Artificer let them loose to see what they would do. Declared missing, Paul decided he and his girlfriend should go into business for themselves. She agreed. Now they pull scores together and she has become his Judy. Personality/Motivation: A thrill seeker. She likes taking chances. Quote: Powers/Tactics: The process made Genny extremely agile and quick. She is now probably one of the top ten MA in the world. Add some weird Kung Fu tricks she has practiced and she becomes a very dangerous opponent! Campaign Use: Appearance: 160 Cm and 60 KG she wears a bright red bodysuit with a stylized yellow "J" over her left breast! European Enemies had a pairing called Chromedome and Silver Hyena and so I used parts of them in making this pairing. Judy is a thrill seeker and willing to take chances. That she has a big strong rescuer in Punch makes it sweeter. Of the two she will be the one to suggest a score just to get some excitement. So she's basically your super Martial Artist with a few moves I stole from and Adventures Club article a few years ago. The entangle is basically a nerve pinch and the tport is a blinding fast attack (you can barely see her coming) As well she has some useful skills from life on the streets.
