  1. Combine the three - Furry Elite Retaliate Against Losers
  2. Furry, Evil, Reallly Angry Loons? They were named by a sarcastic blogger and kept the name after slaughtering the blogger and his entire graduating class.
  3. I was wondering what interesting things people could imagine someone with TK with fine manipulation at an atomic, molecular, or cellular level might be able to do. Given that they also had senses at that level as well. And how would you build those effects in Hero? Telekinesis (1 STR), Fine Manipulation, Invisible Power Effects (Fully Invisible; +1) (23 Active Points) Microscopic Vision (x100,000) with Normal Sight (15 Active Points) One option is the whole Transforms – one element to another. What else? Let's get creative. TFM
  4. AAR in Army speak is After Action Review/Report. It looks like it fits here.
  5. If i find myself judging people based on appearance/race/gender/age/style of dress/facial hair/number of tattoos or peircings/etc (something i try not ot do, but it occasionally happens) I force myself to assume that they are a physics doctoral student (instead of a biker for instance). It does change the way I think about them and I find myself treating them differently as well. I imaginge everyone prejudges sometimes. Being aware of it and take steps to avoid it is the best I can do so far.
  6. In many ways this can be a campaign tone setting issue. How powerful do you want the PCs to feel? If they are to be JLA/Avenger level heroes then they should be able to easily one-shot individual and even groups of thugs. If you want a more street-level tone, then street thugs need to be at least some danger/challenge to the heroes. I usually want the heroes to feel powerful so I make my thugs more of a speed bump/tripwire than a real combat. Agents/Soldiers are likely to do more damage and have better tactics, but I don’t see them as being all that much harder to put down. Minor villains have both more offence and more defense, but are still more of a quantity rather than quality issue. Peer villains and above are the real challenges in combat. Normals can still be greatly challenging out of combat. Just the way I usually play.
  7. Re: Long Time Heroes get any Beta chances? But not post-padding...Foxbat has got a special mad-on for post-padders over there now.
  8. Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Hollandaise Sauce...Scotch Eggs Benedict....MMMMMMMMM
  9. Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Hey all... Forgive me for asking...My Search-fu is weak apparently. Do I recall some time ago someone did a cardboard hero set from Storn's wonderful character art. If so, and if it is legal and approved and all, I would love to get a copy. I am looking for good minis and Storn's art is some of the best out there. Any help?
  10. Re: Biggest Brains in DC So … List of Top Intellects (as defined by depth and breadth of knowledge, number of fields of expertise, creativity/inventiveness across several fields, and just plain know-it-all-ness) 1) Batman…because he’s the Batman 2) Lex Luthor … only the smartest could give Superman and the JLA a run for their money 3) Mr. Terrific …going with canon 4) Ultra-Humanite 5) Grodd 6) Dr. Silvania 7) Calculator and Oracle ??? 8) ??? 9) ??? 10) ??? Lots of folks mentioned seem to be geniuses but confined to one or two fields: The Calculator and Oracle might well belong in the supergenius/polymath group, or they might just be really good at research/information retrieval and management. Will Magnus, T.O. Morrow, and Prof. Ivo are robotics geniuses but not necessarily other fields. Ted Knight and Ray Palmer are physicists. Steel and Gizmo are engineer/gadgeteers. Dr. Fate and Jason Blood are occultists. Dr. Mid-nite is a physician. Rex Taylor and Barry Allen were chemists. I am not sure where Riddler and Joker should go. Both are certainly intelligent but are they super geniuses? I am leaving Braniac, the New Gods, and the Guardians out as aliens. Specter and Phantom Stranger are out as mystic beings. Captain Marvel I do not know what to do with. He (and Wonder Woman when her origin included the powers of the gods…not sure it still does) should be super smart, but they seldom if ever show it. So who else makes the list?
  11. Re: Evil Schemes for the Average Megalomaniac What happens when megalomaniacs clash? What if Khan, Anthrax, and the Angler all want the same McGuffin...with the heroes...and the world...caught in the middle.
  12. I am putting together a JLU Chronicles game for my sons. As I was researching the characters I came across the claim that Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt) was the "third smartest man in the world". Immediately I started wondering who the first two were. I have often seen lists of the strongest or best martial artist in the DCU. I am curious who people would put in the top 5 or 10 smartest, and in what order. So ... Who are the biggest brains in DC?

    Luke Cage

    Re: Luke Cage I always saw Cage as an example of a High DEF med-low STR brick. The closest thing to a CoH Tanker in comics. His toughness was his main power and his strength was almost a side effect. But that my just have been my take on the guy.
