Marathon was one I used quite a bit. He was a rival for an Olympic Athlete themed PC: Olympiad. It was a perfect match as they were almost polar opposites. Olympiad was all about fair play, hard work, something of a lady's man but courteous, respectful and a bit chivalrous towards women and he was an honored American athlete. Its like they wrote Marathon for the job.

That's awesome.

I see Cassandra likes SPD 4.  In the games I've played since 2011, the GM has a preference for SPDs 5-6.

To be fair to the writer of EE, DC had a pair of supervillians (Coldsnap & Heatstroke of the Masters of Disaster) who had similar problems; Whenever CS got within a foot of HS steam erupted between them. They joined the group to get money to cure their condition. IIRC, at one point HS was thrown into CS, and the resulting steam bath knocked them both out.

Interesting.  Good to know.  I just felt it was redundant given their vulnerabilities.

In the original 4e write-ups, Hoarfrost and Midnight Sun were actually Susceptible to each other (1d6/Turn). 

They used to be engaged, but he thinks she's dead and the one time they met after they gained their powers, he couldn't see through her mist before he flew away.

Right.  I dropped complications that I felt were excessive, not actually complicating, or silly.  This fit the definition of both excessive and silly.

I'll be posting Midnight Sun later.

She seems like an homage to DC's Killer Frost. She'd be tough to fight with AE attacks or some kind of enhanced senses. If I can make a suggestion I'd give her Freezing Fog powers Unified Power (or would it still be Linked?) since I get the impression they're a collective effect of a single ability. Do they affect beings that are immune to extreme cold and/or non living or inorganic things?

 

I guess she doesn't get much use out of her Striking Appearance being constantly surrounded by a blinding, deadly fog.

Yeah, she's very similar to Killer Frost- and Midnight Sun has a bit of Firestorm going for him.

Immunity to Extreme Cold and non-living/organic beings would be immune to the temperature level effect, although not the BODY drain.

Yeah, I'll get rid of the Always On and Persistent modifers so she could use her Striking Appearance.

That said, I'll post an altered version with your suggestions.

Currently I'm combining the Champions Universe with that of Necessary Evil (a setting from Savage Worlds).  My players have really enjoyed it so far, as I have included references to previous campaigns (two of the players are former GMs of mine).

I also recommend for some fun and twisted villlains as independent super-criminal leaders to deal with:

• The Kyphotic Man: wants to create an army of his own experiments under his control
  
• Diomedes: attempts to take over the other crime factions
  
• Card Shark: takes over the gambling joints
  
• Shango's Krew: takes over the role of the IRL Bloods (major black gang)
  
• Strad's Gang: Takes over the rule of the IRL Crips (major black gang)
  
• Caligula: kidnaps DNPC of PC for his own "satisfaction" and amusement (well use your imagination based on his bio in Predators), runs sex trade
  

The particular concerns I have about Aematlon:

 

1. Skill, "Analyze Story" is inspired by the character Castle from the show of that name. A hero who can see a narrative and spot flaws in it, to understand where the narrative is false or incomplete. This helps with deduction and interrogation, replacing conversation, and of course helps him edit and improve his own storytelling as a professional author. As a referee, would this fly with you?

 

2. Skill, "Science, General" is meant to reflect a background as a high performing speed reading prodigy in a typical athletic scholarship at a good school (along with "KS:  Law"). As such, the skill could be used to check science facts, claims and broad questions, as opposed to the type of specialization someone might use as an Inventor to advance discoveries at the leading edge of a subfield of science. Where science is involved, it would be a complement to Deduction, for instance; or if giving a speech on science as a complement to Oratory to come off sounding knowledgeable; It would also include advanced mathematics, working with Lightning Calculator. As a GM, would you allow this sort of use?

 

3. Skill, "Deduction", not gained from detective work but being a logical, 'deductive' thinker. While he's read a great many detective novels, and more case history in his liberal arts pre-law studies, is that enough to justify the skill?

 

4. Lack of Noncombat multiple for swimming, with a background as an aquatic athlete. Aematlon has Normal Maximum (5") swimming speed, but his sports were sprint types that needed full CV at all times, not distance types. Does this work?

 

5. Background; too inspired by a villain NPC no one seems to like: Powerhouse? I'd even begun with football as Aematlon's background sport. But I just couldn't get the Powerhouse imagery out of my head, and that wasn't what this character is meant to be like. Does this character differ enough?

 

6. Dorky name?

 

7. ATP - too technical? Should I have just said, "Life Force Powers" and be done with it?

1.  That works.

2. That seems a little too broad for a skill, and it would be unfair to the other players with just a single focus on science.  I would give him the broad fields: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics- plus any others you want him to be familiar with.  KS: Law is fine.

3.  That's fine.

4. Also fine- not too many GMs run aqua-focused campaigns, so I wouldn't worry about it.  Let the GM know if you want maybe a single combat to feature water so you can use the swimming power.

5.  I think you added enough originality to the character to make him different from Powerhouse.  In one game I ran, one of the players ran essentially a carbon-copy of Blade except Blade was a female- I teased her about constantly, despite her protestations- and your character is far better designed than hers as far as originality and distancing itself from copying the original.

6.  If the other players have trouble pronouncing it, then you should come up with a nickname.  Other than that, I don't have a problem with it.

7. Nah, I'm impressed that you attempted to include actual science in a genre that often relies on questionable (and outright made-up) science at best.  You can translate the powers from the ATP base to "Life Force Powers" if the other players don't understand it.

Anyways, those are my thoughts.  Nice job!

I like the concept.  I'll have to see what comes to me as far as events, places, hooks, etc.

One question: are you running a more light-hearted or a darker game?  For instance, is the crime mostly thievery, taking over the world (without killing anyone), etc. or is murder, drugs, and death a part of the game?

Thing of it is, the boys occasionally scrap with named human NPC bad guys other than The Shredder. Do they simply have more character points than our heroes?

Yes, The Shredder definitely would. Although his competence level would depend on which TMNT version the GM wants to imitate.  For instance, the 2012 series and movies Shredder would far more competent and challenging than the 1987 series Shredder.

At this time I would like to also extend the offer to include a team of Chinese government superheroes. If people want this say yes. Be warned, this adds two full months to creation time for the supplement, and there's already 23 sheets. That will bring us to close to 30.

They do have the Tiger Squad in Champions.

I am interested in how one would balance a human streel-level hero against the Turtles, what with their many anthropomorphic animal physiological advantages.

The answer is that you don't (300 CP is really high for a Heroic campaign), unless you give them the same amount of CP, but impose a normal characteristic maximum.

I came up with a Magical Girl for a Champions game, a Filipina named Sirena.  She has water control, weather control, and animal friendship powers.

That sword looks wimpy but it sure hits hard

It's supposed to be a "magical sword."
