Re: Hugh Neilson and D.U.H.S. But can we get a better acronym than DUHS?

Re: Instand Death - No Escape Usually, an attack which harms a superhuman will have a good chance of KOing or killing a normal person. It's not too far-fetched to use such an attack. After all, Dr. Doom carries a Mauser to dispatch targets unworthy of his armor's weapon systems. Build it just like any other attack. If you want to get really technical, make it a Minor Transform: Normal person into a sleeping (KOed) normal person.

Re: Arms Fall Off Lad Wow! Maybe I ought to go for the comedic angle here. I could of course present him to other players straightforwardly, and play him straight, but oh... the hilarity that would ensue...

Re: Crazy Idea to Remove the Math Kind of looks like the Mayfair DC matrix.

Re: How Much? "37" (note: cheesy colon)

Re: Arms Fall Off Lad If it helps, I will be making each limb as an 80 point slavishly loyal Summon, with feedback, mindlink with psychic link, and the major side effect that the charater can't use that limb when summoned.

Re: Arms Fall Off Lad Well, I think you may have something there with 1 and 3 2 I'll leave for someone else... lol

Re: Illiteracy... As an illiterate, I feel uniquely qualified to answer this. Persuasion, (I forgot my glasses. What does this say?) and Acting (I read it, I read it. Go ahead and let's talk about it.) are the key skills. Eidetic Memory is purely optional.

Re: WWYCD: Six Million Thugs Six Million Thugs Can't Be Wrong... I'd get mine done too

I want to make a superhero whose arms and legs can detatch. But I haven't the foggiest idea about how this would be useful. How can I justify the colossal waste of time to write him up to myself?

Re: Pirates versus Superheroes Extra Rep to Hybo

Re: Character Transformations My first Marvel Superheoes character was named Bobcat. He was a normal man who was almost killed in a battle between the X-Men and some other group, it's sort of unimportant. He was saved from death's door by an unusual application of Warlok's transmode virus, which healed him and granted him superpowers of his own. He is a durable, feral warrior with the ability to control his transmode virus infection to perform two notable effects beyond pure fighting: He can override computers and AIs with no range and extra time; He can infect others with his version of the virus, bringing them from death's door (and sometimes beyond) back to full health. He also has the drawback that he is affected by mental powers which only affect the animal class or the machine class of minds, as well as the human class of minds. Incidentally, those he infects with his virus also have this limitation. In a few cases over the years I've played him off and on he has infected people who have developed their own, unique transmode-derived superpowers. This of course is a GMO thing, usually to explain an origin of an ally or villain of his (or another PC who wishes for a radiation acident!)

Re: Queer Eye for the Superhero Guy Thais depends on the superhero subgenre you like. In a game I GM, I would never penalize a character for using a cape- I presune they are "perfectly" profocient with using their own costumes. And remember, Dollar Bill didn't want a cape- a marketing exec designed his costume!

Re: Why Are You Hitting Yourself? I think a +0 lim is the most appropriate- it certainly isn't an advantage to remove ranged reflection possisilities.

Re: Queer Eye for the Superhero Guy Wasn't he a joke devised by the detestable Scott Lobdell?

Re: Queer Eye for the Superhero Guy

Re: Queer Eye for the Superhero Guy Yep, that's a crime.

Re: Queer Eye for the Superhero Guy I don't know what the Beast looks like now, but I think he was very handsome in Earth X and Universe X.

Re: Queer Eye for the Superhero Guy Black Lightning needs pants! Even bellbottoms will do. No man-hero ought to be running around with a covered upper body and Speedos.

Re: Change Environment: a dangerous weapon Speaking of which, I love the idea of making TK str in an AE. Even a 0 strength TK (Intense magnetic field) brings to mind a pretty cool visual.

Re: I smell something fishy Rapid modifier may come into play if you wish it too as well. Especially in the case of J from MIB.

Re: (In Character) The Q.U.A.R.K. Column begins anew! And if you figure that one out, let me know, too.

Re: Pirates versus Superheroes It's a well-known fact that most pirates can't swim! They think it's tempting fate.

Re: A Tale of two disads I like them both. 56 stun and 84 stun are functionally identical in most cases. Plus... taking a disad means taking your chances, and leaving yourself open for such a thing.

Re: Wishful Thinking Radiation accidents come in many forms. Witness Captain Britain, very much an analog to what you're describing, although not exactly the same.
