  1. The most powerful superman I can rember is the one where braniac sent sups 2 million years into the future and Super man AGED 2million years. At the ripe old age of 2million, super man fought off giant garbage collecting robots who were about to throw out the old earth. Split planet earth in half (so as to regenerate the surface top soil???) used his super lungs to inhale an entire atmosphere from another planet and breath it onto the earth. Collect alien animals and proto humanoids from other planets to repopulate the earth. Again doing all this while having aged 2 million years... 

  2. Vondy, in the silver and golden age there was not capital punishment in America. 1977 i think they bought it back so for most of Batman and Superman they would not have turned the bad guys over to the death house. In the early 80's you started seeing characters  similar to the Punisher...Who in 1974 was a villain, by the mid 80s was a hero with his own comic series.

  3. America has moved so dramatically to the right that any hero with a code against killing can be considered "liberal". Capital punishment and stand your ground are actual laws in much of the USA. Daredevil was a liberal, he would catch bad guys in hero id and make sure they had proper representation pro bono in his secret ID as a lawyer. 

     

    As far as actually getting involved in politics hero's don't do that much.

  4. Rebar, I had not intended it that way. He can manifest his hands behind barriers but then he is feeling around blind with them. I suppose technically his TK touch sense comes off his body and thus might be interpreted as coming off his TK hands as well, but that was not the intent and I think it would be abusive. Frankly until you just mentioned it it never occurred to me.

     

    Taking a couple of standard 15pt hunteds would be WAYYY less inconvenient than his blindness. 

  5. Normal Touch is semi discriminatory and semi targeting. Rules are a bit vague about targeting, you can make a perception roll to reduce blindness penalties.  I paid for targeting just to make it clean and to not have to take a 1/2 phase perception roll every time i wanted to throw a punch.. 

     

    I would be willing to bet that Eddies blindness affects him in just about every single adventure he  goes on. Not many complications I can think of are as crippling to a character without rendering him unplayable. 

     

    Paid for 360 degree ranged touch in this version (I had mistakenly thought he could get 360 for free with basic touch) as well as a TK assisted super leap which was in Eddie's original write up.

  6. Rebar, He is definitely seriously disabled.. He cant see through glass, cant read normal print, cant see color, can't drive any vehicle with a windshield, can't use a computer, cant watch TV or movies, Desolidifed villains are invisible to him, etc etc... His ranged sense of touch is overwhelmed by the same things that touch would be so most damage shield characters get a DCV bonus vs him... A GM may quibble about how disadvantaging it is, but it's pretty major. Alot more major than most complications.

  7. First off a commando is a military role not an occupation. I think you mean mercenary. A mercenary typically works for governments and mercenary commandos tend to work specific ops. Bounty hunters work for themselves on the behalf of law enforcement or bonds men. They generally take either publicly posted rewards for the return of fugitive criminals whom have already been found guilty in a court of law, or take on jobs returning people who have not shown up for appointed court dates.

  8. Re: [interest in an online game?] Avengers: Generation 3

     

    I would like to play a son of Hercules. I love his somewhat dimwitted but well intentioned character.

     

    Cydon is a chip off the old block. He wants to be an avenger but at times seems more interested in beer and women. Still he is a grandson/son of the gods (have not worked out whom his mother is) and as such has real sense of nobles oblige under his rowdy exterior.

     

    Cydon would be built as a strait up brick. Let me know if you want to see his write up.

    In case you did not read through this thread, IT'S ABOUT POLITICS.

     

    Read the comments on how the third world would fall into dictatorship under supers. etc. I notice you did not flame any of those comments for politics or spelling.

     

    Comics, especially the good ones, make political statements all the time. ( I just loved Senkewitz's (yea yea spelling; bite me) friendly dictator cards. Or the comments Miller often works into his narratives about american military power. A good game based on those more mature comic books would involve these themes.

     

    Condescension is not argument.
