Re: Champions Powers and Their Comic Book Inspiration The 6th Ed creation of Barrier seems to me to have been done in order to mimic all of the diversity of a Green Lantern Power ring. Previously, Force Wall was only capable of mimicking a small fraction of a Green Lantern's power, the rest having to be created from a menagerie of other powers. It always seemed forced and clunky (Making a simple force-bridge out of modified Flight for example). Now, with Barrier, reaching the true potential of a TK wielding superstar like GL is easy (If not slightly unbalanced).

Re: "Neat" Pictures I can't quite make it out but I'm assuming that you're showing those two students how to get to the HERO boards, right?

Re: Costumes Best costume: Tie - Silver Age Flash / Captain Marvel Each of these costumes simply screams hero to me. Worst Costume (other than the universally accepted train wreck that is Marvel's Captain Ultra): The only hero to ever take costume design advise from Captain Ultra... Kitty Pride

Re: What elements should a great superhero setting contain? INNOCENTS!!! Your setting will need REAL PEOPLE! Palpable members of society to which the heroes feel an attachment. People whose welfare is in the care of the heroes,who NEED to be saved and whose loss, should the heroes fail, will leave behind deep scars.

Re: Microverse : what did you do with it ? Just a top-line view of how we use the Microverse in Epic City (see link in sig for Epic City campaign stuff) Lots of good scientific explanation mumbo-jumbo in the PDF.

Re: "Neat" Pictures I think they're pretty neat.

Re: Hypothetically and unofficially, what would you like to see in a Mecha Hero book? Sorry if this has already been mentioned... I'd like to see an in-depth hit location and result chart that is specific to the body parts of a mech and its pilot. I liked the old battletech so I guess I'd prefer mech creation and combat rules that, while based on HERO, are a bit more... crunchy.
