Why didn't he just take Does Not Add to Figured Characteristics for -1/2? That was still legal in 4th Edition.

You don't need 1000 pt characters to crush the military. You merely need characters designed to take them on.
 
Most Champions characters are built to fight other Champions characters according to genre convention. IOW, they trade shots on the battlefield. This type of character plays into the standard military's strength and is least effective against them while "sniper" types who can attack safely from miles away and many exotic character designs are discouraged by most GMs.
 
Here are some character types who can crush regular militaries:
 
1) Long range teleporters
2) Desolidifiers
3) Subtle mentallists
4) Anyone with a reasonably broad VPP
5) People with Danger Sense and even remotely useful powers
6) Tunnellers
7) People with Extra Dimensional Traveller
8) People with properly designed Change Environment
9) Creative uses of Transform
10) Summoners
 
There are probably a few types I'm missing.

Re: The cranky thread
 
On another message board, I'm in a debate with a 16-year old who thinks, because his daddy is an officer in the US military, knows everything about the Iraq war and our President's content of bovine scatology.
 
I present facts. He presents vague responses and rah-rah "Yeah man, we were in their face! Not like under Clinton, and I'm going to ignore your presented evidence about how many Iraqi aircraft and ground defenses were blown to smithereens by the US Navy across the eight years Clinton was on watch over Iraq."

Hey, this thread's all about discriminating against us perky people.
