  1. Re: Superhero Team Members You need to actually read the comics you're talking about before you comment, then you would know that it's right there on the cover of Avengers #1: "EARTH'S MIGHTIEST SUPER-HEROES"--not "later grandstanding." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Avengers-1.jpg
  2. Re: Super Friends I'm trying to keep things simple, and as I said at the beginning the points spent doesn't matter. All that matters is that the characters can do what kids saw them do on TV. Multiform would just confuse them.
  3. Re: 80's Champions Why do you care? Nothing better to do with your time? That's just sad.
  4. Re: Megascale Movement, Lightspeed, and Escape Velocity So you're a power munchkin. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you're into. I find it a bore.
  5. Re: Greatest American Hero type character???? So you're saying Superman SHOULDN'T use his powers intelligently because that would be boring. Or maybe you just need a better writer than you're used to who can make a good story and still have a character live up to his abilities. You have low expectations, it seems. Also, you seem to confuse intelligent use of powers with "having no foibles." Not so. Totally different subject. Don't try to conflate them into a package deal just so you can pretend you thought it over when really you're just giving a kneejerk response and picking out 1 part of what I actually wrote. Think. It helps! Or would that go against your apparent belief that powers shouldn't be used intelligently?
  6. Re: Greatest American Hero type character???? I guess you've never read Flash comics then because he can easily control where he goes and what direction he travels. Maybe you only read new comics. They suck.
  7. Re: 80's Champions Right, because Reagan built a wall to keep citizens under his thumb and shot them if they dared try to escape. Oh wait, that's the evil empire Reagan brought down with no help from kneejerk liberals who would sooner surrender their freedom than fight for what's right.
  8. Re: What to buy now ??? I see where you're coming from. I often wind up writing up the characters players want to create just because the character creation system is so time-consuming and mind-exploding. I have a rule that if you have to spend too long figuring out how to make a power work, it's not a very good power in the 1st place. I think superheroes should have concepts and powers that you can explain to anyone in one sentence. I'm going back to Champions 2nd edition, Champions II, and Champions III. Everything after that I haven't really cared for, it just seems to be catering to power munchkins now.

  10. Re: Greatest American Hero type character???? The JLA aren't skilled in using their powers. That's why they need a whole team to solve problems that Superman should be able to solve on his own if he used his powers with any intelligence. Flash stands around talking when he could just go back in time and eliminate the threat before it even arrived. And so on.
  11. Re: Megascale Movement, Lightspeed, and Escape Velocity Where are the rules on "megascale"? I only have up to edition 4 and haven't seen it. Is that a 5th edition or 6th edition thing?
