Rock Gasher

Rock Gasher is his agent in the noral world. A gangster leader who the Scorpion bribed with advance technology to outwit the police, he provides information and manpower when the Scorpion needs it.

There is nothing special about him more than the ruthlessness to sell his own mother for money and the desire to destroy anyone who opposes him. Secretly his loyalty is to himself first and the Scorpion second.

I vote for the Golden Scorpion myself. 

So I'm guessing we continue?

How about Liberace Reborn. He is a dancing martial artist who can attack with sonic powers that can both shatter stone or control your mind.

 

Considering that I live in West Alise, Milwaukee Wisconsin, the birthplace of Liberace I say thea, nay.

Battery 

David Allen Scott comes from Kinematic's own alternative Earth and worships everything about him. He can also empower the powers of any other mutant he touches, as long as he touches him.

Any resemblance to Trevor Fitzroy is kinda like looking into a funhouse mirror, right?

Tribble, it's your choice if we continue to 12 or create a new team.

Any resemblance to steriaca, well, like looking into a funhouse mirror.

Ghast

Leo Tygran is a teenage mutant who discovered the ability to go through solid objects and disrupt electronics when attacked by a Minutemen robot on patrol sent by the IHA in search of Death (a powerful homeless mutant with strong "death touch" powers, see the IHA book). Leo basically saved a cell of Kinematic unknowingly and accepted his call for advanced training. 

Leo is slowly developing other effects which happen when he phases into things.

Any resemblance to Shadowcat is not intended, really.

Great Celestral Claw

Zan Quan Do is a triad middle manager, whose right hand was mangled during a raid from the Tiger Squad. Getting it replaced by an alien's disattached hand, they attached it to Zan's stump. Zan normal hides his alien hand, but when he feels he has no other choice he reveals it and channels it's great power to create portals and slice through most anything. 

He is quite awair that the word celestial is problematic (for years celestial was used interchangeably with oriental to describe people from his part of the world).

New Team: Kinematic's Group

The mutant mastermind has decided that Blindspot, Fossil, and Overdrive are not enough to build his pro-mutant-rule organization. So these six to twelve mutants have joined him. Not everyone recruited is totally enraptured with the ideas behind Kinematic, othoe the mutant rule part they can all get behind. Of course the IHA is against them.

Very few members are "full time", having their own criminal stuff, but are expected to drop everything when Kinematic asks for their support for their mutual protection. 

Any resemblance to members of the X-Men, the Brotherhood, and the Acolytes are coincidence, really.

I have seen them with classes before but normally it has been spell casting ones.

Ok. I'll give you that.

While not a superhero entry, it is Gruntar, Mind Flayer Barbarian. Who says monsters can't have levels in classes?

Scooby Doo?

Well, he counts also.

But not Scooby Dum. Nor Scrapy Doo.

Defently not Scrapy Doo.

Everybody forgets the most powerful pet.

Professor Peachbody aka the TTD (time traveling dog) and his pet cromagnum cave man boy Benji, from Gold Digger.

Which was originally based upon Professor Pesbody and his pet boy Sherman...

What can I say. It's Antarctica Press.

Well it has been over a year now and no entries so how about this instead. What can you tell me about him ?

This is the avatar of the Egyptian deity Sabeck. Sabeck is the Egyptian crocodile god of the rivers and is said to devour hearts of the impure dead.

Sabeck is neither good nor evil and can act as a hero, villain, or whatever on a welm.

Was wondering if people think it might be a good idea to have Fantasy Hero characters pay points for their equipment. It can be said that it is rather hard to determine the strength of FH characters if their equipment is free. Or is there any other way to better determine the strength of your characters?

It depends on various factors. If the equipment is culturally advanced; magical in some way, or of primo quality, then of course the character should pay points for it. They are not going to find replacements quite easily after all.

But if it is just a sword, then don't make them pay for it by anything but gold pieces.

Guizashu

The person called the Guizashu is a very skilled martial artist who can use anything to kill. He is very precise and absolutely deadly when he does strike. He will only fight when ordered to do so, but he always goes for the kill. It doesn't matter to him who the target is.

Guizashu is the mandarin word for Exacutioner. And he does exactly that, as long as his bosses say so. He takes no payment for his murders, as the triad provides him everything he wants.

Expositor

 

Need someone to impart plot-relevant data to the audience? Casey Grey is your man! Capable of many accents, and with a bold, vibrant baritone voice, he can appear as the explaining scientist, the man in the briefing room, or even just the voice-over narrator in the case of less imaginative performances. In a conflict, his power to narrate becomes dangerously powerful, as it manifests as an area effect mind control - what he says to do, people do.

So he basically is Basel Exposition then, with Mind Control? Cool.

Um, don't let my list of suggestions derail your creative juices. Keep on creating. 

Recap.

Ingenue: "social" mind controller, marketing off her innocent appearance. 

Final Girl: martial artist who specializes in emulating the 'final girl' in horror movies. 

(Lantern Jawed) (50s) Hero: sexes and bigot brick specialising in emulating 50's military/police leading men from 50's horror and science fiction movies. 

Lights: behind the scenes guy who has the power of light generation.

What we could use?

Black Hat Jake (plays the main villain in our little mortality plays).

Mob (duplcator who plays the group of henchmen or extras).

Fakeshemp (shapeshifter who can impersonate famous people).

Dirtycop (specluses in playing Dirty Harry type cop characters).

Feel free to add your own to the list.

The Ingénue

 

Amelie Monroe appears to be a shy, meek, and frail young woman whose large doe  eyes exude innocence. This is all the convincing act of an accomplished and skilled con artist. No one is suspicious of whatever tale of woe she weaves in order to get what she wants. She came to the attention of The Director when she conned Best Boy out of a small fortune by playing to his vanity and ego. Impressed, the mad auteur recruited her to assist in his schemes.

Obviously she plays whatever "damsel in distress" role needed. But she is more the bait and trap as opposed to the victim.

Melody Smith is the Final Girl. She is very physically fit and seems to be the type of girl who is sweet and innocent but ends up destroying the monster at the end. She works with the Ingenue but can also work alone in the Director's plans.

Her skill set is martial artist with acrobatics, climbing, breakfall, and other similar skills.

I dug out Pyramid in the Sky

 

The previous people working for him were Best Boy, Foley, Gaffer, Key Grip and The Stuntmen 

Best Boy is a foreman for the Gaffer or Key Grip.

Gaffer is head electrician

Key Grip is what equipment is necessary.

Foley is reproduction of every day sound effects added to film.

Yep. But I think after learning how really impaired The Director has become most of them won't work with him again. Also, all thors people are all off screen talent (The Stuntman is an exception of course). He needs of screen talent (or so he tells himself).

Yes, he can simply blast a bystander with his newest toy to make an instant actor. But having a few professionals in the "cast" for the major roles is good also.

(It also allows you to use both groups if you choose, in case you think some of them think the way The Director does.)

NaponRex

Napon Rex is a little dog saved from a laboratory. Rex is highly intelligent, can talk English, and can envelop himself in a fiery aura which burns everything but himself to ash.

Next Team.

Centeal Casting 

The Director of Crime (from Pyramid in the Sky) returns from the psycho ward with a group of six superpowered henchmen/actors. Who are these six people, what roles do they usually play in the Director's crimes, and are they willing to get zapped by his new Instant Wardrobe gun? Don't forget the Director's real name might as well be Allen Smithie (the name directors use to use to disassociate themselves from a film they don't like).

There is my in my mind only so far revision of The Director (of Crime), who is basically a deformed man in a floating chair and camreabots. But one of the new tricks I plan on giving him is a "Instant Wardrobe Gun", a combo Cosmetic Transform (air around target to costume), and a linked telepathic Mind Control (act like whoever your costumed as). While the idea of zapping a big strong brick into a stereotypical Victorian damsel in distress costume comes to mind, one could as easily zap the brick into a 80s Slasher Villain costume also (with terrifying results).

I would love at this juncture to bow and modestly claim that you are right. However until you mentioned it I was blindly oblivious. Maybe my subconscious did it.

 

Meantime.

 

Let this be a salutary lesson to you all. never give a supervillain or a Mad Scientist a board game. The Mad Intellectual Think Tank was given Kingdom of Tokyo and were playing a few rounds when inevitably someone mentioned that they could design one of the monsters with ease.

'The one problem is that the law enforcement people would know that one of us was responsible' said Professor Mayhem, 'No-one else could build anything that large'

'Nor equip it with such weaponry'. added Professor Steraica,'Although we would be limited in attacking either New York or Tokyo'

Both then saw an BB looking at something and paused to follow her gaze. She was looking at The Designer who was holding the dice in his hands and studying it intently.

'Maybe' he began, 'Maybe we are looking at this the wrong way. What if we used the symbols from the dice to cause an effect from someone'

'How so ? asked BB

'Well, the claw is easy you take damage from it. The heart will heal damage you took and the lightning would power you up. I just don't know what we could do with the numbers 1, 2 or 3' replied The Designer.

'We could have that mean that one, two or three powers activate', said The Assistant.

'Hmm' said The Designer 'We imbue a subject with the ability to do this and that would throw the authorities off. It would have to be somebody that is alive because the law would know Dr Corpening's work easily. And we can't transplant claws onto them as again that would tie it to us'

 

'So Dr Boumont and Dr Nymax! make the subject and imbue them with the ability to generate or call the effects into being. The rest of us work on a way to make the effects reality.' replied the Assistant.

'Excuse me, I'll go find Spirit in the Sky and get to work' replied BB. The group had taking to calling Dr Nymax! Spirit in the Sky as a reference to the good doctor being away with the fairies and the cover version being by Doctor and the Medics.

 

Thus was born Queen of Tokyo who has to roll dice before something happens. She can summon claws that can shred through tanks, so battlesuits, armour wearers and forcefields/forcewall users beware. She can energise herself and this is dangerous if someone tries to jump her when she tries to do it as they can be electrocuted. She can heal herself. And lastly she can use one of three effects which varies week to week. The authorities are baffled by whomever gave her powers but she can be taken down quickly during dice rolling so she is not considered a major threat.

 

(I have King of Tokyo and it is great fun. Also available as King of New York)

I don't have the game, but I love that you incorporate Dr. Steriaca in this, as his gimmick is Game Tech.

Maybe. Maybe not. Remember that each game is an alternative really, and some universes are way different than others.

While watching a certain annual holiday parade (default: Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade), one spots members of CLOWN marching down the parade route entertaing the watchers. Mery Andrew is on stilts, Ballon-A-Tick is floating on a balloon and tossing candy and non-magical balloons to the children, Fox is teleporting all over the place to shake children's hands (and get confused with the Car Fax fox), Tag gives out Nerf Balls, etc. They don't seem to be doing anything wrong, but....

What would your character do?
