You could restore the cybernetic Supreme Serpent from 4E VIPER, perhaps changing its motivation to something more clearly malevolent. Two available routes I see to that: 1) Keep the space probe origin, but make it Malvan as per the current CU. The age and advancement of the Malvan civilization, and its more recent decadence, should fit the background of the probe well enough. Perhaps it sees potential in humanity to become the "new Malva," but believes it needs to take direct control to guide our development, and chooses VIPER as its instrument. 2) VIPER's AI, Serpentine, could be the secret Supreme Serpent. Serpentine is programmed to be loyal to VIPER, but not to any individual member of the organization. It may have decided VIPER's goals could best be served by taking leadership itself. In either case it would almost necessarily work through a figurehead/puppet as with 4E VIPER.

Partly the reason I ask is I've seen a good number of how to questions on here. I'm thinking of doing a thing called "Hero Bits"... not full code just samples on how to do different things - my main languages (as a web developer) is HTML/CSS/PHP/JavaScript. I'd want to do it if there was enough people interested and I'd prefer to use things that anyone can get ahold of for free or easily (i.e. Atom, Brackets, etc)...and since Atom seems to code in pretty much ANYTHING...

yes, he was called too soon. I remember his art from early Hero books. He had one site and I was hoping it would still be around - though 20 years later who knows.

I don’t normally answer “how to” questions, but for once I’ll make an exception. Here’s how I’d do it:
 
1. Buy an Entangle with Takes No Damage From Attacks (+1).
 
2. Apply addtional Power Modifiers that allow the Entangle to work against CON rather than STR.
 
That second step is a little tricky, though. One option is to adapt the Based On CON (-1) Limitation, which ordinarily only applies to Mental Powers, to this ability.
 
But here’s another option. I swear to 3d6 random gods of your choice that somewhere in one of the 6E books we published rules for using alternate Characteristics for things like this (and various other powers), but damned if I can find them right now, and I don’t have time to keep looking. So, what I’ve appended below are optional rules for escaping Entangles using alternate Characteristics that we published in Digital Hero #5. I’ll consider putting these in APG3 (unless, of course, someone points me to where the “using alternate Characteristics” rules are already in print).
Here ya go:

Entangles Affecting Characteristics Other Than STR
Under the standard rules, a character breaks out of an Entangle using STR. 6E1 217 provides rules for creating Entangles that require EGO to break out of instead of STR. It’s possible to extend the reasoning behind “Mental Paralysis” Entangles to create Entangles affecting other Characteristics.
 
Doing this requires a Power Modifier, Works Against [CHAR], Not STR. This Modifier may be an Advantage or a Limitation, depending on whether, in the campaign, the average character is likely to have the affected Primary Characteristic at a lower or higher level than STR. If it’s likely to be higher, Works Against [CHAR], Not STR is probably a Limitation; if it’s likely to be lower, it’s probably an Advantage. This takes into account not only Characteristic cost (expensive Characteristics are likely to be lower than STR), but the nature of the campaign and types of characters in it (in a psionics campaign, EGOs are usually higher than STRs). The value of the Modifier depends on the average relative level of the two Characteristics, as indicated by the accompanying table.
[[BOX TEXT]]
WORKS AGAINST [CHAR] SUGGESTED VALUES
Affected Characteristic Is,
On The Average...        Suggested Value
Much higher than STR        -½ or more
Slightly higher than STR        -¼
Equal to STR            -0
Slightly lower than STR        +¼
Much lower than STR        +½ or more
[[END BOX]]
 
Here are some guesstimates of these values for “average” HERO System campaigns, with descriptions of possible special effects. The number in front of the slash represents the value in Heroic campaigns, the number after the slash the value in Superheroic games. Many of the suggested special effects require the Takes No Damage From Attacks Advantage.
 
Works Against DEX, Not STR (-0 / +¼):  This might represent energy bonds that can’t be broken, only wiggled out of, coils that stretch so much they’re unbreakable but which the character can squeeze out of, and so forth.
 
Works Against CON, Not STR (-0 / +¼):  This might represent paralytic attacks such as some venoms and nerve strikes — it’s not the strength of the character’s muscles or will that governs how long he’s paralyzed, but his hardiness and fitness.
 
Works Against INT, Not STR (-0 / +½):  This might represent psychic attacks that put the victim in a “mental maze” he has to “escape” from before he can act, or a puzzle so absorbing a character can’t do anything but try to figure it out until he somehow forces himself to look away from it.
 
Works Against EGO, Not STR (+¼ / +¼):  This represents “Mental Paralysis,” as discussed on 6E1 217.
 
Works Against PRE, Not STR (+¼ / +½):  This might simulate the ability to inspire unwavering awe, or a terror attack leaving the victim so frightened he can’t move.
 
Works Against BODY, Not STR (+½ / +½):  This might represent attacks similar to Works Against CON.
 
A character attempting to break out of one of these “exotic Entangles” may use his “Casual” Characteristic, in exactly the same way that Casual STR works against normal Entangles. This costs END at the standard rate of 1 per 10 Active Points used (including the base points the character gets “for free” in the Characteristic). An exotic Entangle functions in all ways as a standard Entangle (it reduces the victim’s DCV to zero, and so forth). Depending on the special effect involved, another character who wants to “attack” the Entangle to free a trapped comrade may actually have to try actions other than attacking (such as slapping the victim’s face, splashing water on him, or shouting out clues and encouragement).
 
 

Im terribly sorry if this has been discussed before, but i simply could not get a good search result to find the answer.
 
Where or how, do you access the additional powers in the ADV guides in HERO Designer? I see Possession, but where are the Powers such as Extra-Dimensional Space or Probability Alteration? I am still getting used to using HERO Designer, but i wanted to use it help speed up character creation math and double check some of the player characters i have in my game. Which, currently, i have players using the previously mentioned powers.

RPMiller has one that works

OK here are a few other threads containing various other conversions to 6th edition by folks so they're easier to find in one thread:
 
Deathstroke by rjd59
The Blood by rjd59
Crusader, Starburst, and the 4th edition Champions by me - the one that started up this madness for me in the first place
Some Enemies for Hire and Mutant File rebuilds by Dr Mid-Nite
Roadkill by rjd59 
Several different write ups for The Guardians, the original team featured in the earliest Champions books.
 
I think that's all of the recent batch, if I missed any maybe someone can post them.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 

 
I had a period of down time from publishers projects and commissions and my own projects moved to the fore. Now, I'm swamped with (shameless plug time) for World of the Dead for Eden Studios... Zombies in all flavors!!!... and the Mastermind Manual, Green Ronin's expanded optional rules for M&M. And, oh yeah, finishing up one L5R card.
 
But I'm definitely having fun working and have a nice groove going. Which is following a down period when I was sick after New Year's. I definitely have cycles of high production, low production. This is a high production time.

Alas, I'm a divorced father and the dreams I had of going to Meca (aka GenCon) have been left behind to my teen age years.
