Well, the new VIPER book talks about Timothy Blank, one of VIPER's top geneticists, and his plans to take over VIPER. In 4e Blank was King Cobra.

Or the X-Men story in which Loki delivered a dramatic and menacing soliloquy and Kitty Pryde walked up to him and replied "Sez you, ferret face!"

Have you tried Roger Wilco?

Re: Re: Champions in 3-D Plus Especially if the GM has seen that episode of Sliders where Quinn meets a woman working on dimension travel for her government, becomes attracted to her, sleeps with her...and then discovers that she's that reality's version of himself.

Give the computer Duplication to create the autonomous mobile body and (as Pattern Ghost mentioned) give the Duplicate Regeneration from death to be indestructible.

Re: Having Trouble Coming Up With Adventures I don't know what resources you have access too, but adaption of other RPGs with a similar scope works well. For example, since I have almost every item published for Call of Cthulhu, I replace the Great Old Ones with super-villains or the aliens whose invasion created superhumans in the first place. "Masks of Nyarlathotep" The PCs discover a plot by an international group of criminals to open a massive hyperspace portal that will allow an alien invasion fleet to materialize on Earth, bypassing any defenses. The trail begins in Manhattan, leads to London, Cairo, Kenya, and Australia, and finally ends in China. "Shadows of Yog-Sothoth" The PCs investigate a newly formed organization of some sort and discover that its leaders are attempting to recover fragments of a powerful weapon (or other device) thought destroyed. The race for the device travels through Boston, Hollywood, Scotland, Easter Island, and the depths of the Pacific Ocean (where the core of the device lies).

There's also the Justin Hammer method, from Marvel Comics. "I will supply you with all of the advanced technology that you need. In return you will give me 10% of the take from all future crimes until the devices are paid for. You will also work for me whenever I need you and these services will result in a appropriate reduction in your debt to me." And the supplier has enough villains in his debt to serve as a collection agency if anyone tries to stiff him.

The description of Life Support in Hero 5 specifically says that LS: Extreme Heat won't protect you from being dunked in molten lava, so I doubt it would protect you from the Sun either.

There was an episode of Static Shock that guest-starred Batman. Static: Where's Robin? Batman: He's with the Titans. Static:Who? Batman: You'll meet them someday. Static Shock was in modern continuity with Batman/Superman-style art, so that Robin was Tim.

Scott Menville .... Robin Greg Cipes .... Beast Boy Khary Payton .... Cyborg Hynden Walch .... Starfire Tara Strong .... Raven Ron Perlman .... Slade Tara Strong also did the voice of Batgirl, which seems appropriate. But she also does the voice of Bubbles on the Powerpuff Girls, which is just disturbing.

Mile High Comics usually works pretty well for me. http://www.milehighcomics.com

From Halfjack's Background/History: "The cyberneticists...replaced Jack's right-side skeletal structure with carbon steel, using the same substance to reinforce his remaining bones to handle the load." So his flesh-and-blood half is enhanced, but not enough to give it actual powers.

I guess I'll have to go check the new FLGS that opened in my area a few months ago. It's owned and operated by Eden Studios (Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, various d20) in their extra office space. Apparently a game store operated by a game company tends to develop a very good relationship with their distributor. And the guy running the store mentioned that he used to work with Steve. Didn't catch his name though.

Sensational She-Hulk #34-35. Black Talon attacked her with a team of zombie mutants, Changeling, Black Bishop (Hellfire Club), the Living Diamond/Jack O'Diamonds, and Scaleface (Morlocks).

From the review of 4th Edition in Dragon # 162 (Oct 1990), describing the revision process: "As politicians at budget summits like to say, everything was on the table. A Champions game player would blanch to see some of the suggested changes: the Ego characteristic changed in name and cost, mental attacks hitting automatically, Damage Resistance and Mind Scan gone, and four, count ‘em, four successive sets of Growth rules. One radical suggested stripping the list of 60 + superpowers down to just four (Attack, Defend, Move, and Sense) and simulating all effects with advantages and limitations. Yes, that latter suggestion died on delivery."

Zuras came back in an Eternals 1-shot that had him reclaim the throne of Olympia and renew the Eternal isolationism. Icaris rebelled and left with several other Eternals who accidently ended up establishing themselves as a hero team on the West Coast. Nothing else has been done with it though. General Ross was revived by the combination of the Leader's resurrection machine (the one that was used to revive Marlo) and "Soul Man", one of the Gamma Town mutates. He was active in Hulk before the current "on the road" stories began. Betty Ross is probably still dead though. After the Abomination poisoned her, General Ross put her corpse in a cryo-preservation chamber. That's where she was last seen.

Except that he's a part-time hero instead of a villain. He has accepted that his father was insane and sees no reason to follow in his footsteps. He knows Spider-Man's secret identity and the two of them have actually become friends. Plus his mother was a mutant and he has powers too. Essentially another wannabe-Wolverine, superhuman senses and accelerated healing, but the characterization definitely saves him from being just a Wolverine clone though.

Actually he was one of the evil plant men who periodically threatened K'un-L'un (the mystic city) transformed into a duplicate of Iron Fist. And the terminally ill super-human child who killed him was actually the Super-Skrull, magically brainwashed by Iron Fist's enemy, the wizard Master Khan.

Thunderbolts. Techno saved Zemo's mind electronically, much like he did to himself. It was then transferred into various bodies, ending up in the unscarred body of Zemo's Counter-Earth duplicate. Thor 475 dealt with the High Evolutionary and the Godpack. You may be thinking of 432, when Thor destroyed Loki and Odin "dispersed" him as punishment, leading Erik Masterson to become Thor. Loki's body was destroyed and his spirit was imprisoned in Mephisto's realm, but he got better. Kangaroo appeared (without explanation) as an inmate in a secret super-prison in a Wolverine story. He also appeared in Spider-Man's Tangled Web 16-17, set in the same prison. The Spot did die at the end of the stoty however. Leeds wasn't the Hobgoblin. The Hobgoblin Lives limited series revealed that he was a brainwashed pawn of the real Hobgoblin, like Lefty Donovan when he was used to test the refined Goblin formula. The second Hobgoblin, Jason Macendale, formerly Jack-O-Lantern, is dead though. The original Hobgoblin blasted him to ashes in his prison cell.

You may be thinking of the original android Human Torch, who came back from the dead and joined the West Coast Avengers. But there was a mystery around Toro's death and there was a homeless man with flame powers in Power Pack at the same time that it was revealed that Katie Power's elementary school teacher was Toro's widow. But nothing ever came of it and at some point after the book's cancellation it was denied that he was Toro. Just backpedalling in my opinion.

A limited series a couple years ago revealed that the "fatal explosion" only left him in a coma, from which he has recovered. He was in the most recent Defenders series.

The Ringer was brought back as a cyborg in Lethal Foes of Spider-Man. It's kind of funny. Mark Gruenwald predicted (half-joking) that Turner D. Century would be the first Scourge victim revived. Green Goblin II and III are still dead. Norman's back.

Miss America died during childbirth on Wundagore Mountain. Bova tried to pass-off the infant Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch as her children to Whizzer. Baron Blood was recreated by the Bane in the Marvel UK Knights of Pendragon title, and he's drifted here and there since then. Karma was believed dead in the single digits of the original New Mutants comic, but she later turned up alive and possessed by the Shadow King (before he was called that). Terrax came back in New Warriors Vol. 1, #1. A scientist was analyzing the residue of his energies left where he disintigrated and accidently concentrated them enough for him to create a new body from rock and soil. Count Nefaria revived as a side effect of the ionic energy he absorbed from Power Man waaay-back-when. He blew up fighting the Avengers and Thunderbolts, but ionic beings do that a lot. They always come back. Guardian came back, three...four times? He's currently alive and leading Alpha Flight again. Sasquatch also came back, unless you mean the Sasquatch who wasn't Walter Langkowski who died in the most recent Alpha Flight series.
