Yeah the stark foundation staffers are administrator PR and legal representative. The team has to have an annual evaluation and performance review with stark foundation representatives who discuss whether they screwed up in the field or not legal ramifications etc.

The law enforcement liaison is a federal employee (has to be for security clearance) nominally a bureaucrat but usually with field experience there in charge of disseminating classified material etc to the avengers and try to have good contacts across the spectrum of local government law enforcement, emergency service, military and civilian groups.

The liaison coordinates intelligence and is the main point of contact with the various local groups I.E. if the police need Meta human assistance they will call the liaison. It's a high-pressure job but it has a lot of prestige and is an excellent career move even if it will kill a normal home life. The liaison is also responsible for field reports debriefing and organizing mission logs rogues galleries and such.

Any other staff the team needs can be hired but it requires stark foundation approval or for it to be funded out of the teams own pockets though there is a large discretionary fund available to each team.

The Las Vegas team restaurant funds both there large support staff and a community outreach programmed.

The DC team has a larger support staff including a team diplomat a number of lobbyists on superhuman affairs etc.

i think i may have to use deep purple as the basis for a hero write up of the envoy corp from richard morgans altered carbon.

Oops I missed it out doh

Kentucky is in the Pittsburgh teams patrol area nominally but as its adjoined by three teams areas they sort of share especially as its equidistant between Pittsburgh and Chicago.

By the way can anyone think of a better regional term for the Pittsburgh patrol area?

All teams are 6 strong (as set out in the avengers charter) except Washington DC Hawaii and Alaska, which are 3-4(though often swelled by members of other teams on sabbatical).

Each team has a chairman elected by vote of all members though the first is selected by avengers prime when they set up the team usually a respected reservist. There are a lot of arguments over who gets Alaska and Hawaii. Teams are recruiters locally usually by recommendation but there is an audition as well.

Each team has a couple of Quinn jets often modified for prevalent local situations the southern avengers Quinn jet is designed for piloting swamp land etc. south western has specialty mountain rescue gear etc.

A fully equipped base of operations also reflection the location the south western team base is built under the strip upstairs is a theme restraint one of the most popular eating places on the strip.

A local law enforcement liason is assigned to each team who helps the team deal with local police and emergency srevices provides intelligence briefings and helps coordinate the teams activities. each team also has an Stark foundation staffer who organises public apperances, organizational costs etc.

she definatly needs a big black super bike like a ducati or a triumph.

some trick riding a remote control as well maybe.

i still like the idea of a modern gadgeter version with a range of trick swords. like a a tazer sword or one with a concealed strobe light one with a knock out gas sprayer in the guard. one that returns to her hand when she puts it down. thus making her the queen of swords

AIM is an offshoot of HYDRA AIM was originally there science division when HYDRA was percieved to eb destroyed by SHIELD AIM went off on there own.

The problem with SHIELD is unlike UNTIL or PRIMUS, SHIELD is entirely a super agent group they have low level supers only no cosmic powerhouses. They exist to deal with similar super agent type groups like AIM and HYDRA. The avengers have empowered by The UN and the United States government as an extra-normal intervention group they exist to deal with alien invasions rogue superhuman and natural disasters.

With this expanded mandate the new York prime team may well organize smaller sub teams to deal with the group of criminals with super weapons in Nebraska whilst there off saving the universe for the second time this week.

Of course the regional groups are a great choice for superheroes who want to get bigger being an avenger has a lot of prestige and there's always the possibility that if you excel you may become part of the prime team but even if you don’t you can still help your local community with the greater powers and resources at your disposal.

pretty much everything will fit into the marvel universe its pretty flexible

Well the easiest answer would be that threes a sudden inrush of supercrime and paranormal activity centered on the Pittsburgh Ohio area. And the New York based avengers are too busy with the paranormal weirdness that happens their and their global charter to deal with it. So they set up a regional office staffed by new recruits an experienced commander and maybe a few reservists.

Alternatively the avengers decide to create a number of sub bases nationally or even internationally to offer rapid response superhuman forces. though why set up in Pittsburgh instead of Washington or Philadelphia escapes me unless of course there is a hell mouth in Cleveland or something as well as some meta human explosion say an release of mutagenic compounds in Pittsburgh.

So you end up with

West coast avengers based in LA responsible for California

The northwestern avengers based in Seattle responsible for Washington Oregon Idaho Montana and Wyoming

Southwest avengers based in Las Vegas responsible for Nevada Utah Arizona new Mexico Colorado lots of action there between the mob super crime the aftermath of gamma bomb tests and the Roswell incident to name but a few.

Texas avengers because Texas wouldn’t be happy without its own branch. They also cover Oklahoma

Southern avengers based out of Miami with responsibility for Florida Georgia Alabama Tennessee Arkansas Mississippi and the Carolinas

The great Plaines avengers have responsibility for the middle ground they cover a lot of area based in Minneapolis they patrol north Dakota south Dakota Nebraska Kansas Missouri Idaho and Minnesota

The great lakes avengers are based in Chicago

And serve Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana.

The Pittsburgh team has responsibility for Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware (but not Washington DC) Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and technically the northern parts of Tennessee but they mostly leave that to the southern avengers by default.

The avengers in new York handle most of new England and New Jersey but are considering passing on the responsibilities to a local team either based in providence Rhode island or Boston Massachusetts’s, New York state is a lot of responsibility without there global status

Then you have the DC avengers a smaller team mainly concerned with protecting the capital and liaising with the united states government and other nations its a small team but can expect backup from there others including the national team at times of crisis the team tends not to be heavy hitters but espionage and security specialist mixed with diplomats and linguist there the team that gets called in to deal with alien first contacts for instance.

Other small teams are the Hawaiian team and the Alaskan avengers.

basically she seems like a female zoro

so think mask of zoro line of women training apprentices to continue there fight for equality and fredom from opression for all women.

modern one would probably still by hispanic but now shes a computer geek or police woman or something who ends up training in fencing and becoming the legendary queen of the swords cpombined with concealed gadgets

in modern day LA or san fransico or santa helena for that matter but a big city would be better

i was kind of considering this for my Dr hel of the strange defenders write up. i wanted her to be sort of medium level power wise a just starting out super(with a lot of skill but not much experince) but with a couple of powerful vehicals as back up so she can mix it up with the big leagues

no heather married James hudson after she killed wolverine when a weapon x chip drove him feral

hmmm just out of curiosity what is the best way to handle cerebro technically xaviers powers only have mega scale when hooked up to cerebro. oh yes and theres copying skills from skilled people.

well i ghad abit of ago I think im going to have to see about finding a few more techniques to try out its a bit better.

oh and here is one i did a while back

well this is the latest attempt i dont think i got the metalic feeling i wanted i think this calls for more investigation

well the practice continues on a pace yet anopther great picture from solomons collection

well i spent a little tim eon it and i think it looks really spiffy coudl do with soem more highlighst and such thats my next task but i think ill find anotehr image to work with. just a suggestion for solomon if you do use the name Silverstone he should get to wear a classic set of leather racing goggles

Tacticians

Captain America, batman Cyclops, reed Richards

With good communications a superior tactician is a decisive advantage

Terrain masters

Aqua man, jack hawks Moore, storm

Capable of using the environment to their advantage if you control the field of battle you force the enemy to fight on your terms.

Artillery

Storm,

Long range indirect attacks over terrain obstacles or the horizon storm can call lightning or tornados to this effect there are relatively few super heroes with these sorts of powers.

Heavy hitters

Hulk, Thor, thing, colossus

Used for breaching static defenses and dealing with immobile Armour and artillery emplacements most have poor combat movement and thus rely on faster moving units to delay or disable targets before moving in for the kill.

Air support

Human torch, storm, north star, star man, Apollo

supers who can target ground based opponents from the air to assist ground forces

Air superiority

Hawk girl cannonball swift

Destroying enemy aircraft to keep the air space free for their own air support

Multi-role

Sue Richards Spiderman Green Lantern The Doctor The Engineer

Iceman, Magneto, Wolverine, Night crawler

These types fill multiple roles plugging the gaps in the supers offense defense or logistics magneto supplies brute force but also defense and logistical support sue Richards offers defense but also stealth and offense whilst night crawler can use his superior maneuverability for offense against, any type of opponent delaying action and emergency evac.

Infantry nullification

Quicksilver, The Flash, Jack HawksMoore, Iceman

These are the people who can easily keep a large number of infantry occupied infantry is often dangerous even to all but the toughest super heroes so you need to nullify them super heroes like spider man that might have no trouble with disabling a tank (using proper tactics) but can fall pray too only 20 or so trained soldiers.

Defense

green lantern sue Richards iceman green lantern

self explanatory

scouting

Sue richards Batman Kitty Pryde

Able to gain acces sto enemy positiosn to report troop movments etc and give early warning of possibel threats they also offer an early lienof defense scouts can act as a force multiplyer with sutible equipment they can perform area denial delaying tactics etc.

Logistics

magneto, vanisher,

most super teams make use of jets or base located teleporters to fill this role getting them and there equipment into the field and evacuating out.

well i have been inspired by thsi thread to start learning how to colour using photoshop so heres my first colouring of solomons image speedlord (by the way you might consider changing the name to SILVERSTONE thats the name of the racetrack where they have teh british grand prix)

oh wow i love that picture loraxxx teh jacket is especially cool

3 marvel super heros that could easily deal ith a large military force

cannonball with his high speed and invunrability would easily make a mess of airsupport

spider man with the webbing to deal with sensors hatches and his formidible stregth to destroy wepons and tracks he can easily disable a whole tank group and

quicksilver even without a bag of grenade's he's the perfect tool for disabling infantry

Perfection The Bride of Teleios.

telios creates a female duplicate a perfect woman to be his bride unfortunatly for him she is just as ruthless and possibly even smarter than him. unfortunatly for him she didn't like his plans and used her feminine wiles to defeat him and take over in an attempt to make a better world for her children/creations.

well he may not have his perfect vessel but 3 ritual sacrfice of righteous souls to ones dark gods always improves your chances of your big ritual going right.

simple evil trap i call the the hostage hitman blast fest.

room filled with hostages supervillain who looks like a normal person but with a powerful indirect energy blast with invisible power effect . find him before he picks you off or kills a lot of the hostages. how the PC's do that is up to you.

You could just get sense the flow of water, which are basically just spatial awareness 360 arcs only underwater. Add discriminatory and analyze to get a good idea of the size shape composition movement etc of the objects.

Oh yeah all off the cuff seemed like a good group not to high powered with disadvantages so good to role-play.

Admittedly it would be kind of a cool campaign team them with an occultist/archeologist and send them out to thwart nazi artifact hunters (I love that theme).

Mean while back at the project you have the left over people horribly deformed by the process driven insane or whose capabilities are too unstable. What if one of them got loose.

Energy projectors would be PsI based.

Like say

Firebomb

Jed Stewart another subject in the process that created brains Johnson. Unfortunately he had a latent psionic talent that the serum awakened.

In stress situations Jed produces a huge explosion of heat igniting flammable materials he I seemingly completely resistant to the effects of fire instinctively controlling heat to keep his body cool and his lungs free of smoke.

The scientist on the project hoped to help him to control and use the fiery power for the war effort but his incarceration in an asbestos lined cell made jab and feeling of betrayal that the government had turned him into a dangerous freak.

Jed decided he’d had enough and during a testing session he let rip with the full power of one of his incendiary blast killing a technician and escaping in the ensuing confusion. He’s left a trail of destruction across the country as he tries to avoid the MP's sent to bring him back.

Defiantly go with the chemicals though radiation and electro acupuncture work too.

I’d try assembling a whole team each a prototype they worked buy not as completely as they wanted

The chameleon who has skin containing Colour changing pigment. Perfect as a scout expert with knives for that silent take down.

Long shot super vision and hearing total body control making him the world’s greatest marksman. Wear sunglasses and earplugs to avoid being over whelmed when off duty.

Sam "twitch" McCoy former race car driver turned army courier sent on medical leave after developing a dangerous addiction to amphetamines enrolled in super soldier program now his body works faster he runs like the wind but he can't stop moving.

Bruiser. Lumber jack of Scottish decent built like a giant red wood the process toughed his skin and enhanced his muscles but enhanced his already dangerous rages. Carries and big axe and a belt fed machine gun

Edward "brains" Johnson think captain America without the physical prowess has just a normal guy but with an amazing tactical and scientific brain
