Files? Sure.... Renegade

Okay, in my CU I am introducing New Asgard, these are my creations plus those fated to survive the final battle, if any. I had one source that mentions Magni and Modi, and Vidar.

THat might work. ...Have the brick punch them and see if their PD increases.

But... I can't wait that long....

Courage : a 'Man without fear' so to speak... Honor both of these guys sound like Martial Artists to me. How about: Life? I have made a Green Lantern type character who'se abilies stemmed from the manipulation of his own life force...

Personally, I have such a variety in scale for my universes that its not an issue. I've kept defenses around 30 Def because I have damages ranging from 7-20+d6. Starting out I keep player damages about 12 d6 and def 30 pts. this leads to 3-4 hit fights more for bricks. I've never had a problem with my groups we never saw combat as tedious.

I am full of it today. Questions that is. Comic book characters evolve slowly and often against the will of fans and the companies themselves. Technology based heroes change most often but everyone evolves, look at Iron Man, Spiderman even developed his "spider tracers" and different uses for his web fluid. In Champions this can be done in more drastic ways rather easily. Aside from team comlinks, bases, and vehicles; have the groups you've played in (or GM'd) "helped eachother out?" Case in point though they are NPC's I have always been fond of a group I made for my first campaign, The Tomorrow Legion. Basically they were a circle of friends (and uber geeks) from college who over the course of their young adulthood aquired superpowers either through accident or self achievement. Each member of the team had a field of specialization (and I have updated them over the years as I have read more comics and seen more cool stuff). Basically they were like this: Omniman ( a superman clone whose abilities came from a transware suit he developed) He never let on that the powers weren't his. Gear (Powered Armor) Pretty Standard Oni ( a bio chemist who developed a "super soldier"-esque formula. Giving himself Peak Human Stats, he then donned a battle suit that made him look like a monster, the suit was developed to look organic. (it even bled convincingly) Kirin - a young lady with minor telepathic abilities, she became a world class specialist in artifical psionics. (and after the ultimate mentalist; Psionic Engineering). Nightshade a martial arts enthusiest who developed a special "stealth suit" for what he thought was the Government, but turned out to be VIPER. He stole the suit and tries to pass its abilities off as "Ninja Magic" (ripped him off from Allies) Dynaman (Electromagnetic based powersuit) Bengal ( genetesist who accdentally gained tiger like abilities when exposed to one of his genome mapping experiments) Later I added an all round gadgeer named Bianca White. She didn't use a secret ID. well, all these characters were scientists, close friends, and confidants in the scheme that most didn't truely have superpowers, though this was less dramatic a secret as I originally planned as they proved to be quite powerful and capable. The source of their powers was not the earth shattering secret I had envisioned. Over the course of the campaign the PC's met them about six times. The first three encounters were standard, but on the fourth the Legion was noticably stronger as a team, many of their original weaknesses were elimnated or lessened and their abilities were enhanced. Here's why, Bianca and Oni perfected his formula so that it didn't negatively effect people who lacked his genetic code, everyone suddenly had access to Peak Human Physical stats. Kirin developed implanted psionic com-links/defense mechanisms so the team had constant telepathic communication, and she also added a psychic beacon so they could easily find each other. Omniman and Dynaman working together managed to reduce their suits vulnerabilities, and add some new features, Gear, who's original designs were more elaborate than he could afford, now had the backing of a successful team and a conglomerate of tech companies that the various members had started in their secret Id's. Not to mention that the members constantly worked as support for eachother, their technologies advanced a lightning speed, and by the sixth time they encountered the PC's Omniman had, using nanotechnology, internalized his powers, Oni could telepathically alter his "bioarmor", Dynaman had developed into a manipulator of incredible flexibiliy, etc... admitedly this was just done by adding points to them but it was using their backgrounds to rationalize the changes. This and the concept that they were a team and would natureally want to help eachother hadn't occured to me when I was a player. So, to sum it up, when you look to spend XP, do you ever look at your fellow PC's for aid or ideas?

Ever (as a GM or a Player) Seriously miscalculate the ability of the foe you were facing? Two examples: Way back in Highschool, my 7th grader brother wanted to run a campaign, so my best friend and I made some characters and oen of the first encounters is a group of thugs protecting a dweeby accountant. The Accountant was a link to a major crime lord and my character, a macho ninja wannabe lays out three of the thugs and tries to intimidate the dweeb only to find out that he is a Brick, and that being the mastervillain's accountant is only one of his duties. The guy wipes the floor with my ninja, as his first shot stuns me as does the subsequent grab and smash. I am out. My buddies character, a low level brick with mid level mental powers captures the accountant and spends the rest of the campaign laughing at my sorry butt. 2) This one involves a martial artist in a playboy bunny outfit, she was a henchwoman of Foxbat's and it turns out he picked the costume, she was quite skilled and very dedicated. She worked for Foxbat because he saved her grandmother from an assault by rival assassins. This time it was someone elses character that had to explain he got beat up by a play boy bunny.

Mattock? perhaps an animal he identifies with? Perhaps he is fond of bunny rabbits and calls him self Mr. Rabbit?

More Protectors YAY! More Art YAY! I'm too happy, darn sunshine.

Never give a crazy elf a sword.

I think that Aquaman would be hard pressed to defeat Namor hand to hand, but if he knew him at all, he could probably get him to dry land and wait until Namor's strength was about at his level and then beat him. Aquaman gets the shaft, but I always liked him.

Scott could you contact me too? I'm lonely...

I almost always use the Patron. The Cattle Call is also fun. Its a variation on the Patron where someone announces that they are creating a superhero team and holding tryouts. Make a bunch of wierd powered or delusional normals to mix in with the PC's and have "Mystery Men" type hilarity.

What?!? Who was that guy?

Hah, I have written up Renegade, Blue Collar Man, Lady/Lorelai, Queen of Spades, Cold War, Man of Miracles, Superstar, and a bunch of other Styx songs.... but I like your Mr. Roboto better than mine.

Well, they sprang from the fact that when I got Creation Workshop and hero creator, the Champions New Millenium Eurostar was there. They were different enough from the originals that I thought of forming a rival villain team. It grew from there. Basically Divine Right is a combination of not-quite-mastervillain level villains and RAVEN. They are made up of about (at the moment) half a dozen (mostly European) supervillains who want to rule the world. Their main strenth is that they have banded together and pooled their resources and have a relatively simple plan for divying up the world once its theirs. Their main weakness is they form cliques and plot eachothers demise once the world is theirs. Aside from the newly joined Barron Terror and his "Terror Incorporated". The Council of Monarchs act as far behind the scenes as possible. They each have agents with similar technology but differing uniforms to further hide the fact that they are one powerful organization rather than several smaller ones. Its this ability to seem like the "lesser evil" when compared to VIPER, or even ARGENT, that keeps the world spanning UNTIL mostly off their backs. According to some, the organization was started in 1945, but this isn't true, it was started thousands of years BC. The three oldest and most powerful members represent civilizations that died befre Rome was an empire.

Powerman was my Captain Marvel clone, he was very powerful but tactically unsound. Most of his "tactical solutions" got him ko'd and whenever he was called on it, he'd merely, say "It's okay, I'll survive."

I always thought that Prof. Muerte fit the Invisivble woman role. He had the forcefield based technology. btw Giganto has always been one of my favorites. I brought him back as a henchmen for the as yet unnammed Spanish Monarch for my Divine Right organization. Fore the record, Terror Incorporated's name has been appropriated by the German Monarch, Baron Terror.

Perhaps another one wouldn't hurt to try my hand at this haiku thing

I think this is more a problem with the group you are playing with. I can't think of a game system where a group of gamers all with the same goals or at least the same level of maturity can't make it work. This is everyone's responsibility; GM and players. I know it sounds cliched but you should seek a group with motivations more to your liking.

Everything I would have given you has been covered; But I definately want to keep track of this thread. Tell us how things work out.
