Social “Justice” is not justice at all. It should be scrapped thrown into the garbage dump.

I really like the Presence Attack version. Seems the most simplistic.

Exactly these characters.

I don't think that's a good idea, with Tencent, being ye another arm of the Chinese Communist Party. On the plus side SOcial JUstice will be removed from the property, but on the other it will be nerfed to cater to Chinese sensibilities. But since having shifted the weekend games over to Pathfinder 2 I won't miss anything.

No need, Duke. Ninja-Bear was asking for 4E stretcher examples.
 
There is another one in the 4E version of Champions of the North:  A-Man, aka "the Amorphous Man," a reserve member of Canada's Sentinels superhero team(s). Fairly versatile elastic-body power set, but rather low-powered.
 
Sanctuary, as updated to 4E in Classic Enemies, has a character named Yu'Genothrax who's an amorphous Lovecraftian horror, except it's benevolent and rather shy. It has a fair amount of Stretching which it uses to reach through air vents in Sanctuary, and apply its touch-based Powers.
 
The 4E incarnation of King Cobra's COIL organization, as presented in Champions Presents #2, includes a few Coil-gene serpent-man mutates with minor amounts of Stretching, including the King himself, Russ "Stretch" McMasters of COIL's Alpha Squad, and their enemy Slithern. Continuing the snake motif, Python, who for 4E is a high-ranking member of VIPER (and is written up in that group's source book), also has moderate Stretching.
 
I'd have to do research to determine if there are others, but I'm not up for that tonight.

You're not wrong, but I found axes to work well enough against any type of armor.  Plus I could use it to hook shields and limbs, and possibly even throw it depending on the axe type.
 
Furthermore, don't overlook the non-combat utility of the axe.  It's hard to build fortifications, breach a door, or cut firewood with a mace.

@Asperion, if you get a chance, the Asian Bestiaries have some monsters that are similar but different than Westerners are used to. If I understand correctly, the Witcher’s monsters are more in the vein of Eastern European traditions which seem different. 
 
The monsters you listed are so influenced by Media that by just going back to the original myths would make them seem different too.

I think Noose.

I don't like find weakness either, but... Karnak from the Inhumans was based entirely around this, as well as a few other characters, so it has its place, but not the way it was built in the old rules, in my opinion.
 
I always understood double armor piercing to simply be a way of negating a level of hardened, not that it quartered defenses.

Testament was by Scott Bennie and is a good read.

There is a "Christian RPG" called Testament that is set in that kind of time period too, has a lot of interesting source material.  I think there's some interest in a Bronze Age Hero book, but probably not a huge amount.
 
 
For some reason Europeans like really dark, doomed, miserable stuff, especially the Brits.

Well how does that exactly work with game with a skill system? Fantasy Hero you’re expected to buy skills to represent your character. How you going to do that if the campaign just declares in-progress what is relevant?
 
In a similar vein, I see people talk about OSR where the answers aren’t on your sheet. “You describe your character’s background and those skills”. Now in the right group? I can see it working. However……I can see problems even with honest players and GM. I rather don’t think the solution is as easy as it’s presented.

Honestly I think a Roman Empire era fantasy game could be a lot of fun.  But my real dream is to create a bronze age fantasy setting -- very low magic, very low tech.  Conanesque.  Akkadian empire, etc.

Ru5150, I don't believe the Duke meant anything with Malice though perhaps he shouldn't name names in case someone did see it that way. It is certainly okay if anyone wants to raise old threads up for renewed or updated discussion. I've done it myself and there were necromancy jokes then too. I don't think they were at my expense, but more a light hearted observation on the passage of time. That said, if it truly offends you, I think the crew around here can be classy enough to ease off.

Well not to sound blithe about it but what do you consider Standard Superhero? In theory since Steve Long cut Figured Characteristics we are able to build a 15 DEX, 8 OCV 4 DCV character. However if you are using legacy characters with minimal change then perhaps you want your brick at 18 DEX 6 OCV 6 DCV. Trust me there were some threads debating this.
 
I’m away from my books (so it won’t be point balanced)  here are some rough examples for ideas.
 
15 DEX because well because. Still higher than your normal but not “Standard Brick”. 5 DCV he’s a brick and we don’t have to have equal OCV and DCV.  Drop PD to 10 and ED to 5 with Resistant Protection that gives you 30 PD and 25 ED still good for a brick. You probably only need 10 REC and 50 END keep the STUN though.  I’d reduce the Blast from 10D6 to 8D6. And Reduce Striking Appearance to +5D6. If you need to cut some more costs reduce KB to -5 reduce Mental Defense and Power Dense to minimum but I wouldn’t get rid of them as that’s different. Also depending on cost you could keep say KB at original value and just reduce the other two. But again this is very dependent on how your world is built. 

Frankly, the most horrific thing I can imagine is the monster overpowers you, and while you are unconscious it implants an egg in you.  The larva hatches inside and consumes you from within as it develops, carefully avoiding doing any immediately lethal damage until it is ready to emerge, which could take months or years.  There are bits of this concept in the Alien franchise and other sci-fi tales, of course, but it could be done in a fantasy context as well.

Duke it’s not 2nd Ed. so of course you’re going to be disappointed! 😜

I might be if I knew what it was. 😁

I’ve been watching Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman on Tubi.

He reminds me of Yosemite Sam when he’s dressed as a knight. 😁
