There stands in Paradise a house of Four Doors where answers are found, but it never in the same place...

Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! Andrew Matthews was newly assigned Primus Investigative Agent, following up information about possible Viper activity in campaign city. His snooping was noticed by Viper and they use the opportunity to misdirect both Primus and COIL about what they were doing. Viper agents set up place where they baited COIL with a possible Viper ranking member matching Andrew's description. COIL took the bate, and they grabbed Andrew and used their mutagen on him, in attempt to get operational information from him. Thing is Primus had tested Andrew for Cyberline tolerance pre-screening very recently, to see if he could use the substance. This is done by using a related but usually inert compound and checking for adverse reactions. And it was still in his blood when the mutagen went in and things went very interesting from there. Andrew did mutate, but he was not under the control of COIL. In fact he quickly moped up the snake men and called in backup. Primus medical could not undo what had been done as the complex reactions were beyond them. Primus assigned Andrew a new code name, Draco, and sent him to act as there contact with the Constellations.

Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! (I take inspiration for this from this statute I saw in a museum - The Lost Pleiade and Greek legend) - Every Hero Group needs a Greek demigod The heroine they call the Pleiades is very old in fact they said she had faded away, that she was lost. But she was seeking – hunting – for answers to what she had become. She had once loved a mortal, but that mortal was not what he appeared, his deceitfulness was punished. But she was left separated from her sisters. She had wandered the Lands Of Legend and The City of Man seeking forgiveness and understanding. After millennia she returned to see what has become of her decedents. She was drawn to a city, not in her beloved Greece but in North America where she saw young man of her decedents attacked. Her motherly instinct appeared and she repelled attackers, a gang of thugs that where trying to press him into doing something he would not do. She sensed her purpose and her path to forgiveness was to stand up for the weak and defend those who would be honest and lawful in the land of mortals. This would take much endurance, strength and guile to win, But Merope the Pleiade, daughter of Atlas and trained of Artemis, had what is needed. So she found like minded beings that called themselves the Constellations and she used her Strength, Endurance and knowledge of the hunt to aid them in their cause.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team! (I am taking my inspiration from cross of Animal House and the MIT/CalTech pranks, and Douglas Adams ) Boyd Bates, is an odd sort, brilliant, charismatic, prankster and a party animal in one handsome package. He hatch the plan after finding some weird electronic devices from a little side adventure he had in getting some free beer for the next frat party. He built it in no time flat, and it would be cool but he needed to test it. So he wired his device into an campus maintenance access tunnel and hit the switch. There was a flash and bang, then he found himself in his room in the frat house. He ran to the window to see smoke poring from the access to the maintenance tunnel, a bunch of women running quicky back to dorms and sorority houses and a large pile of women’s underclothing setting in the middle of campus. He wished he was in the campus union to revile in the mayhem he just caused, and he was. And Mr. Improbable was born, the Teleporting Gadgeteer of the frat house.

Re: Most PCs... The min-max-er would have no issue with that (With a permissive GM) -- 5 pts still doubles the number of Multiforms - "Point Miser add 512 forms today!"

Re: Istvatha V'han - why can't she conquer Earth? I will throw an idea out there for those who don't worry about being out of continuity* - V'han needs an "anchor avatar" to truly rule a dimension, a humanoid female native, who when touched by the Empress becomes transformed into a living conduit of her will. The problem is finding this person, she has narrowed the search area for the Champions Universe to earth, and now only has to figure out which single woman of approximately 3.5 billion women/girls is the receptive to this transformation... This gives reason for V'Han to be sending just small commando forces and for her personage to come to the world as well, as she can not hold the hearts and minds of this universe until the target is transformed by her touch in our universe. *(As it is in an Comic book based RPG )

Re: Conspiracy Theory: Who was really behind the destruction of Detroit? Long ago Lore Lived in Detroit, For those who like government conspiracies: I would say that Officials in the Cities Redevelopment Department learned of it in a inspection steel mill for disposition and told the political higher ups and they set all these things in motion through underworld/mystic contacts... (boy it was sure lucky for the mayor and councilman Reeds families were on vacation in South America...)

Re: Captain Iron Spider Thor vs Super Aqua Bat Flash Lantern Woman There is a Villainous race by the name Dominionators in DC that in some time lines create Biological Super weapons (BION ) that have the powers of multiple powers. That said they have unusual track record and might be a good origin for your DC woman.

Re: "Alternate" Ideas for Freemasons? There was a DC comics Elseworld comic where the JLA was a freemason lodge and it keep all of it's activities secret, The leader of the lodge was Clark Kent. It fell apart when events caused the lodge members to turn on one another. But at the end of the story an FBI agent by the name of Bruce Wanye refounded it with the help of Mr Wally West. But for the life of me I can not think of the title.

Re: "Now I will RULE the CITY!!!" How does that work? This reminds me of this page from Girl Genius. The Baron just hates too rule, but he sees no one else to do t he job.

Re: Are single climate/habitat worlds really possible? I have only read some of Robot stories of Asimov (my SciFi basics are lacking), but they are part of the Foundation time line, So it could be assumed that Positronic intelligences, running by the three laws would ensure that humans of would be getting food they need. Running the the farming loading and unloading of the food supply ships. Would you not?

Re: Single Most Powerful Super Hero EVER!!! While, I do believe there was the Avengers/JLA crossover that had Superman using Thor's hammer to fight the big bad. Superman is a wish fulfillment character, a Marty Stu that resonated with a lot of people.

Re: Phaser Disintegration in 6E I have only glaced at this thread so forgive if it had been mentioned earlier. Looking at the source material, primarily the televised series and early movies, they had quick disintegration only when it fit the story or budget need. Most of the latter ST:NG stories had a slow disintegration. I think of the show that introduced "trans-phasic" shielding. Doctor Crusher tried to kill an alien that had an usual biology and shot a hole clean through It and made it mad. So she used a longer shot at the same power level and vaporized it. SO that story out I would say 10d6 Killing Damage ALVD, does Body with cumulative advantage (This level would allow for instance kill of most normal characters with an average damage of around 30 points)

Re: Wold Newton Oddhat has, he based his super world off the concepts of Mr Farmer. (look at the Similar threads block below)

Re: Where can I get resources for the original Champions RPG game? If I remember correctly Steve Jackson Games Modern paper counter's has supers paper counters and maps of the same size (AND may have some OLD Champ's Characters IIRC)
