    Some supervillains take it personally when you misspell their names. You never know when there's going to be a cross-dimensional incursion so "better safe than sorry".

    50 STR would bring the HKA up to 4d6, so something else is odd there.  But the Coils will not add to the KA as he is not Grabbing or Squeezing.
     
     
    The mechanical issue this creates is that a 15 PRE will be pretty easily slowed or cowed by PRE attacks.
     
     
    He has a DCV of 7, at a cost of 20 CP, but everyone gets +4 OCV to hit him due to his size which is effectively a DCV of 3.
     
     
    Which is fine.  Recognize that he will be a very slow Super, if playing in a typical Hero Supers game, as most have a SPD of 5+.

    It’s tough to assess a character in a vacuum.  Campaign standards are what he needs to measure up to.  My comments are based on a typical 400 point Supers game, which normally revolves around 12 DC attacks.

    For such a campaign, the character is very weak defensively.  With 10 PD and ED, resistant, a typical campaign killing attack (4d6) will do some BOD, and a 12d6 normal attack will pass 32 average STUN past his defenses, Stunning him.  A second hit and he’s KO’d.  That’s exacerbated  by the fact that, with a DCV of 3, he is pretty tough to miss.


     
    A 15 PRE is also pretty low. 

     
    He’s pretty slow – a 4 SPD is about as low as Supers tend to go, and he’s at the bottom end of the CV scale as well.

     
    The Fangs KA should be 2 1/2d6 with STR – I’m not sure how you got 3d6+1.  He paid for 2 DC’s and he has +6 DCs from STR.

     
    He is designed to kill opponents with the two KAs.  That may not be consistent with the tone of a Supers campaign.  The venom is likely to be lethal, but with the time required, only after most combats are over.

     
    You spent a lot on weapon familiarities, ambidexterity and 2 weapon fighting.  Note that, in most Supers games, you spend points on your gear.  If he wants to wander around with 6 swords, he has to pay character points for 6 swords.  But he does not have to pay points for the ability to attack with them with proficiency.

     
    The character won’t be of much use out of combat – where can someone that massive go in an investigation-focused game session?  Again, this depends on the campaign, but most Supers games includes investigation, and situations where the rest of the room doesn’t know these are the Supers.

    @TheNaga, you could change Burst of Speed from Running to +1 Speed. Keep all the other modifiers for it. It can represent him moving faster (more actions) but it is tiring too.

    @TheNaga, is this your first character? Impressive! As Hugh Nelson pointed out though what can make judging characters tough is without a campaign guideline, it’s difficult to say what should be improved. For example, my group hardly uses PRE attacks so PRE 15 is fine.  One thing I did notice in the movement MP is that the burst of Speed wouldn’t work with Fast. The reason is that the MP lists the Active point of 10. Think of this as a pool. You can have as many slots as you want and you can power as many slots as possible but only with those 10 points. And since you made those slots fixed, you cannot change how many are used per slot. So Fast slot is already using 8 points out of 10 total. BoS uses the full 10 points. You could use BoS on your base Running but you cannot combine Fast and BoS together. The easiest fix for DCV is to give Naga a slightly different complication so even though he’s big, he doesn’t suffer the +4 OCV against him.  The sfx there is as REH writes (and I’m paraphrasing here) “ His bulk belies his speed”.  Anyways this is Hero system so you aren’t beholden to the Complication of Size if  you don’t want to.

    You might try contacting the studio and asking if they'd donate the art for your cover, or sell it for a modest fee, if you give them credit for it and recommend the GM and players watch the movie on Prime Video to get the appropriate tone for western genre.
     
    And maybe recommend watching other western movies which are for sale in their inventory.
     
    Increasing interest in westerns can only be good for studios which have a large inventory of westerns available for view on demand.

    I wish it would rain down one more night,  so that you'll be in my heart and you can't hurry (a groovy kind of) love.  Do you remember, Billy don't you lose my number because I can't stop loving you in the air tonight?
