Last weekend, we had a battlemap game where various heroes (not in any supergroup) got together at a park to protect a park statue from being stolen from villains. Among these villains is one of the campaign's most powerful bricks: Armageddon. This brick is from an old book "Trouble for HAVOC" (although he no longer has an 8 Spd!). Anyways, my detective character minifig is closest to him; I decided to have him go up against him and I say aloud, "This is nuts, but my character's going for Armageddon."  Really, one hit from this brick and my character will go down.

Here's where I pull off a few brilliant moves: my detective character has Cinematic Brawling. So, I delay until Armageddon is ready to attack, then use the Eye Gouge attack and blind him for 5 phases. He's blinded and misses. Next attack phase, I use Hoise & Heave and throw him away from me. This allows another character to use a blinding light (Darkness ) on Armageddon when he can see.
 
In the meanwhile, my detective turns on another supervillain who throws things to entangle heros. My 6's move is to make a half-phase up to him from behind and clear his throat. When the villain turns around, my detective slaps him in the face saying, "That's for attacking a woman."  Next phase, my character delays until the villain reaches for his chemical ball to entangle my detective so I use Disarm on him and he drops the ball, entangling himself.  (Every villain we fought, we found out later, had Unluck!)

Quite frankly, I thought my detective character was going to be *splat* quickly but somehow, quick thinking made him shine in the other character's eyes.

"Let it go" (from Frozen movie)

"Let it go" (from Frozen movie)

Not trting to be funny here, but while I can see some curiosity here for those using rhe eukws to run a large scan tactical,skirmish game,oe a space battle, I would think that for a lot of us, 1050 AP is somewhere considerably north of the "plot device" line, isn't it?
 
 

Recently, we did the 40th anniversary episode for the campaign. More recently, the 100th episode for one of our newest supergroups. However, this past Saturday, we did the 600th episode for our earliest, and continually running, supergroup. It featured every hero of that group for the past 40 years, against Dr. Destroyer. Total supers, including cameos of which there were plenty, came out to 18 superheroes. Woo! It was a rousing success, complete with a 3 minute video I created (which came out to be the 250th video created for our Champions campaign), and an actual map of Paris the players used to save the city.

Thank you! No wonder I confused people. But, on my behalf, I do have to say it does make the attack reliable.

Reliable is/was a +0 Advantage that allowed you to always do average damage (assuming my memory is correct). A 10d6 Blast, Reliable, always did 35 Stun, 10 Body.

It's in Dragon number 100, August 1985, in an article called CHAMPIONS™  Plus! New powers for CHAMPIONS™  heroes by Steven Maurer:
 

Hello all, old timer from early 90's just getting back into the game again. I was looking at an old character sheet and had a power called "Vertigo" on it. I believe it may have come from one of the old Hero System fanzines we had back then. 
Still trying to figure out my notes, but after 20+ years, not a lot to go on. If any old timers still around, here is what I have on the power, but sadly no specifics.
 
Vertigo
1X -1 DCV - 1OCV
2X -3 DCV -3 OCV
3X No Ranged Attacks Can Be Made, All Actions Require a Dex Roll -5 DCV -5 OCV
4X On Floor Immobile Vomiting 0 OCV 0 DCV
 
Does anyone out there remember this power? It's been a looong time. Just trying to figure out how the power worked back then. Seems to be an if I rolled over X amount then the effect would happen.
 

Our heroes battle some viper agents and come up to the main entrance where a lone viper agent is, with the access codes. I decide to borrow some lines from a movie (you can probably guess which one)
 
My hero, known to have no love of Viper: Open the door.
Viper agent: I don't know the code.
My hero turns to the brick: Rip his arms off...
Viper agent suddenly says: Oh! Those access codes! (opens the door for the heroes)
 
Of course the Viper agent didn't know it was a bluff but it worked

While going through a box of old Champions stuff, I found I still have the Danger International book (not pdf). I've held onto that for a long time.
