Re: Character Challenge: Write up Bizarro-Apache Chief It occurs to me, he's wrapped himself in some sort of skirt.. and when he grows, everyone can see his enormous junk. Makes sense to me.

Re: Superhero Archetypes I know which site you mean- but I can't remember what it was called...

Re: Superhero Gaming articles for you Thanks! Bookmarked it.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings According to the radio commercial, Avacor will not grow hair on anyone younger than 20 or older than 72. Seems like an odd vulnerability.

Re: Super-Villain Showdown: The Taskmaster vs Deathstroke the Terminator. This, in a nutshell, is why I like Marvel better than DC. Most DC heroes have to forget they have powers to be threatened by the villains in their rogues' galleries. With the exception of Iron Man, most Marvel first-stringers have a plethora of credible threats to face monthly.

Re: Super-Villain Showdown: The Taskmaster vs Deathstroke the Terminator. Says I gotta spread rep around before I rep you again.

There are a lot of DC and Marvel characters (well, mainly DCs) with cool powers, or a cool costume, cool name, or a cool backstory... and absolutely nobody has the slightest clue how to write them... or else, didn't for a long time before anyone figured out how to use them. (I'll leave Image out since they don't use writers.) Hawkman, Starman, Moon Knight, Darkhawk, Metallo, those Serpent Society losers, the Slug, the Ray, Amazo, Paladin (Marvel), Mysterio, Quicksilver, Damage all come to mind. What characters are disappointments to you, and (if it isn't immediately obvious,) why?

Re: Super-Villain Showdown: The Taskmaster vs Deathstroke the Terminator. You know, here's where I give it to Taskmaster: He's smart enough to to fight his own battles. He's become quite wealthy training lackeys for other villains. He also beat the combined might of Captain Marvel, Ant-Man (Scott Lang), Carol Danvers and some other schmuck that I hope has been written out of the Avengers. Rick Jones ultimately chased him off with a suckerpunch, but he had the aforementioned group of fairly powerful heroes stymied for a good six panels (which I assume is about two or three turns of combat). OTOH, Slade fought... teenagers. Powerful teenagers, but still teenagers. I mean, that's low even for a supervillain.

Re: Which supers movies were better than you expected, which were worse? You know, I always hated Nightcrawler until the movie version.

Re: Eryck Webb art I thought the art stuff was fine. The characters were pretty Liefeldish though.

Re: Character Challenge: Write up Bizarro-Apache Chief You-NUK-nuk, if you like. Having him say Eunuch is funnier.

Re: Which supers movies were better than you expected, which were worse? You know, I've never found myself immediately disappointed by a superhero movie. Upon further reflection, I've become upset about losing time from my life after viewing such films as Batman & Robin and Superman IV.

Re: Gamemastering Tutorial Adventures I'm surprised you've made the transition from coach of the St. Louis Rams so smoothly. It's too bad the BBB is not still available- the adventure in the back was very good for introducing everyone to the system. Look at the Company Store section- there are plenty of premade adventures. Since I have only played a small number of them, I don't know which would be the best for your needs.

Re: A Good Word for "Abusive" Framework Uses During my last regular campaign, in 1999, we were between 300-350 points, and the brick was built on something like 600 points. Because he didn't go out of his way to show up the other PCs, it worked. The same can be said about frameworks- as long as the player is mature enough to play within the team concept, no framework construction is really abusive.

You all remember this stumblebum from Super Friends. What would he be like as a Bizarro? Show us what you got.

Re: Gravitar vs Graviton? There was a time, however, during the late 80's, when Spider-Man kicked his butt (Along with Titania, Goliath, the Brothers Grimm and Paste-Pot Pete, but they was just for exercise), so you have to be careful about what version that you're talking about. All in all, Graviton Smash.

Re: CU top Ten Richest Top 10 is tough, but Batman and Magneto have to be right up there. Lex Luthor isn't in my world as of now.

Re: Animal Writeups Some sort of very high PRE- he can shout the other muppets out of their shorts.

Re: The Forbes Fictional 15 Luthor is easily much richer than Wayne in the DCU, however, once you get to your basic $8 billion US (Wayne), it matters very little.

Re: Most Powerful Member of the FF? The difference is, Sue doesn't have a ring you can take away from her, and Kyle's got no imagination.

Re: WWYCD: Hostages for the Holidays This is a hard category for me, since there are more PCs I love than possible strategies to explore. Ratman Would probably infiltrate through the heating ducts or a small window in a room with less traffic. His power to disorient and blind his opponent would make him a useful point man in a rescue attempt. I'm not sure how excited he'd be about the rescue, but he'd be pleased to tear into a supervillain with such a crummy plan.

Re: Most Powerful Member of the FF? Repped!
