Re: WWYYCD: The Rally Sun Wukong will do something awful to these people. He's a trickster god, after all, and he considers himself obligated to educate and enlighten people using his pranks. He's just not obligated to be gentle about it.

Re: Robot with an adamantium shell? You could put Restrainable on your multipower, to represent that those systems can be removed by a Roboticist or disabled with an EMP. That would save ~20 pts.

Re: WWYCD: Multilateral Menace? Here's an interesting thought: suppose the UNTIL black ops project in question was some kind of mass mind-control experiment. When it was botched, it gave most of the federal government officials progressively worsening brain damage. They may seem sane (or as sane as politicians get) right now, but in a couple of months, they'll be nutty as a fruit-cake. WWYCD?

Re: Batman vs Midnighter Mr Terrific would hand Midnighter his own ass, thanks to his "invisibility to machines" tech.

Re: How do you feel about Superheroes that kill? It's worth noting that the alien civilization in 'God''s body ended up dying when their world rotted around them.

Re: The Essential Bad Silver Age At the time, Joker had the powers of Mr. Mxyzsptlk, the omnipotent fifth-dimensional imp. He could fold up the laws of physics and wear them like a paper hat if he wanted.

Re: The Essential Bad Silver Age In all fairness, the Joker almost certainly wouldn't have really let Superman kill him. Joker's life focuses around Batman, but he was willing to actually give a shot at killing him.

Re: Of course we're criminals. We have to be. It's worth noting that at least two of Spider-Man's foes have tried to kill Jameson in the past - the Green Goblin and the Scorpion. If not for Spider-Man's assistance, Jameson would be dead - the man has a (virtually admitted) psychotic hatred of Spider-Man.

Re: The Spore - For your critique Consider sticking the spore powers in a MP to save some points, if possible. Also, those disadvantages are pretty devastating - they make the character really difficult to play.

Re: Why super tech never goes mainstream

Yeah, giving her a lot of martial arts would probably be a good idea - it'd simulate her combat training well. She should have a decent ego, higher than flash's at least (maybe around 15?) and a bit of mental defense - she seemed to last as long or longer against Despero's psychic assault than Katma Tui. To simulate her toughness, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add in a lot (~15 pts) of basic PD & ED, and then give her the Combat Luck version of Damage Resistance.

Which thread is this?

Canada has fairly strict gun control laws, doesn't it? Much more so than the US, I think. If you wanted a more stereotype-busting super, how about... Arsenal (or Firepower, or nearly anything sort-of associated with guns, really...) Johnathan Murray is one of Canada's oldest living superhumans: he participated in (and just barely survived) the disastrous raid at Dieppe in World War II, and, though you wouldn't know it to look at him, is a good 80 years old. After being seriously wounded in action, Murray volunteered for one of the first cyborg programs in recorded history, and was not only healed in the process, but was equipped with some very powerful weapons in the process. Over the years, Murray has continued to upgrade his cybernetics, and anything in his body is comparable to the most powerful technology Viper or ARGENT could put out, thankfully. Despite his cyborg status, Murray isn't full of the self-loathing that many cyborgs are - he volunteered for the conversion process and dutifully and gladly pays the price to be able to protect the free world. Murray is also a well-known conservative in Canada - he has vigorously opposed Canada's high taxes, welfare programs and (in particular) gun control programs, and is a good friend of Charles Heston - he is roughly comparable to an American moderate Republican on most areas, and is less conservative on some social issues like gay marriage and abortion. He has openly and strongly denounced recent initiatives to reduce criminal penalties for marijuana-related crimes. His strong and unconventional political views have, however, earned him the ire of many politically motivated liberal supervillains and even a handful of superheroes, and they have also put his status as one of Canada's state-sanction superheroes in jeopardy. Powers: Arsenal should probably be an artillery-style blaster - he's screaming for a big multipower full of attack powers like gun-hands, Summon-homing-missle legs, and so forth and so on - probably shouldn't be TOO lethal or cause too much property damage, as he IS a superhero. He should also have subdermal armor and similar powers. Campaign Use: Arsenal's political views make as good a story hook as any - at the very least, he might get into an argument with highly liberal PCs, especially if their views are well-known. Arsenal should still be a team-player, though - he probably has more experience at it than any of the PCs, too.
