Re: Waking up with super powers The ability to sleep twenty hours, and tear up furniture without getting in trouble because you look so cute?

Re: Certified's Super Awesome thousandth Post Had to delete the fist try didn't get all the files added. Looks like here's one thousand and one since I can only put in 5 files a post. ... and Certified Sound will be live tomorrow at 2 PM EST... NSFW or basic human decency.

So for my thousandth post I thought I would put up a collection of villains ranging from fodder to giants who can take on a full team alone. Feel free to snag them I've attach the HDC files. Hope you enjoy. Lady Night: A crazed Metahuman able to tap into the place known only as the Shadow. Dement Ator: AKA The Man in White AKA the Master of Genetic Alteration AKA My pet Mad Scientist. Who Dement Ator Works for, what his motivations are even his real name are all still a mystery. The only thing they know for sure is so long as he possesses the chemical known as Quintessence he is capable of any numbers of crimes against man an nature. Failed Test Subjects: Dog men created by the master of genetic alternation Dement Ator. Early attempts, sloppy work but they get the job done. Grey Matter: Hyper Intelligent collection of ninites with dreams of a perfected world. The show stopper. The Shin Tsubo Ken: Every good hero team needs a ninja and on the same token no GM should be without a smattering of ninja handymen with interesting martial powers, even if they don't stack up to that pesky hero. Gigamax: The all purpose Giant Robot. Detritus: The final parting gift from the Man in White Dement Ator before leaving HAAD (Humans Against Altered Dictatorships. Taking the solders he could lure into the lab their bodies we fused together using the mysterious Quintessnece.

Re: Hero Histories based on the Ages of Comics When I was working on the timeline I wanted him to start earlier but I knew from the start I didn't want him to have any kind of super powers until the modern age. Vigilant as it stands is about ninety. Part of what I wanted to portray was the decline of his body and his loathing of having to rely on technology to compensate for it. Sure this could have been done if I pushed it back into the true pulp era but at a hundred and ten that's pushing even my exaggerated suspension of disbelief for the character. One of the things I made sure not to cover is a true back story for him. No mentioning his real name how he learned martial arts but I pictured him in his thirties at the start of his career as a crime fighter, old enough to have fought in the war or a number of other things. Oh and that was post number 999.... I'll need to come up with something good to break 1000 with.

Re: Waking up with super powers For that whammy power what's the Limited Coverage value for 20 rPD Backside?

Re: Hero Histories based on the Ages of Comics One of the campaigns I'm in over at Hero Central centers around older heroes coming out of retirement. For whatever reason I thought the bast way to try and capture this idea was have the character kind of mature trough the ages starting out as a late pulp early golden age detective. When working on the timeline I tried to tink of things as print runs of a comic to emphasize the shift in eras. Here's the bio for the masked detective Vigilant. Vigilant Timeline

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States For publication maybe you should talk with some of the artists on the boards see if they would be willing to help with doing hand done pictures for the characters.

Re: Waking up with super powers I suppose that is a super power, turning part of your body to crystal. Ouch. Just ouch. Yeah, I'd take regeneration over that too.

Re: Waking up with super powers What would you really do if you woke up with super powers? Don't know depends on the super power, likely call in to work sick for a week at least. What kind of powers would you like to have? The ability to transfer my consciousness from one body to another. (Hay someone has to get the cool villain powers.) What kind of powers would you NOT like to have? Invisibility, there are too many logistical issues with this in real life. I don't want to get run over by a car or have people bumping into me as I hang out at the girls locker over at LA Fitness. Would it matter if only 1 in a billion people had powers vs 1 in 100 million, or even 1 in a million? From an individual basis probably not, I'm not telling no one when I snag my new body. On a global scale it's would obviously have an escalating degree of impact. Would you tell others? Just one person. How do you think your life would change? This all depends on the degree of bastard I become as the hubris of my body jumping ability sets in. Any other thoughts on the subject or questions that need to be asked (that I didn't think of)? Do you think Angelina Jolie would notice if Brad Pitt put on like fifty pounds?

Re: Confedrate Comics I thought about ayindie's post as well but I think it has a valid point. The initial post offers little guidance of the scope and nature of the heroes and only the smallest information on the setting. The setting is designed to get peoples attention for good or ill, ayindie's post is an emotional reaction to a vary dark time in their family's history. As they has been no further posts from LWhitehead it seems all answers are valid. Personally I think it may be time to drop this thread until they post again otherwise we're just buying into flamebait.

Re: Paths Not Taken After years of failed attempts to raise his mother from the dead and crushing the souls of those who serve under him Doctor Victor Von Doom opens his labs to the public. Publishing his research papers and shifts the country in the direction of a Constitutional Monarchy. After several years of planning the first election is held where a young man and former political prisoner is elected Prime Minister of Latveria. This marks the beginning of a new golden age of science as the precepts of Doctor Doom's strange infusion of magic spread through the community. A year later the new Latveria, a scientific haven and industrial superpower becomes an official member of the burgeoning EU. Six years later the Prime Minister of Latveria takes the reigns as President of the EU. Within a year after this Latveria is considered one of the economic hubs of the Union holding more power than any other nation. In effect Doctor Doom successfully conquers all of Europe without firing a single shot.

Re: Paths Not Taken Found wandering in the Canadian wilderness a man with amazing regenerative abilities and nigh indestructible skeleton is taken n by the government and trained as a bomb technician. Although never the best, he is the only bomb tech to ever walk away from an accident. He is the Bombardier.

Re: Paths Not Taken After crashing in the Arctic Steve Rodgers manages to sail to a fishing boat on an ice drift. Returned to the US he continues to battle evil foreign and domestic for the next thirty years, founding the Avengers. As his age continues to advance he is persuaded by his close friends and allies to more into the public sector where he can continue to do good things. After eight years in the senate he runs for the highest office becoming President America. After several months in office he is struck by the Quesada Retrovirus activating programing by his long time foe the Red Skull becoming the Manchurian President.

Re: Paths Not Taken Hank Pym bases Ultron's brain functions on the data saved by the original Human Torch or Steve Rogers. Calling himself American Armor Ultron goes on to becomes the leader of the Avengers.

Re: Confedrate Comics A flame war... okay maybe that's just me.

Re: Confedrate Comics Wow, there is a lot of room here for CSA "heroes." Chattle Master using his mighty energy whip and impenetrable shackles to bring evil doers and escaped slaves to justice. The Darkie, by day Aryan playboy by night, detective who roams the segregated cities looking for some boy to step out of line. Okay, before I go off on a tangent of what might be considered by a modern confederate nation I guess I would like more detail on what the two nations are like. Politics, history, common values all these things play into what a cultural hero may be. Are heroes of the CSA heroes of more modern values who fight against the system or do they serve the greater good and country? This is really a broad question and setting concept you've presented I would really like more details. Now just for fun here's this:

Re: Transgendered Superperson Ahem... Hello, sorry, no mom I haven't been avoiding you. No, I, I'm just going through some stuff right now. You know Super Hero stuff. No, no mom it's not like that. No, I'm sorry. It doesn;t have anything to do with how you raised me. It just kind of happened. - - - Okay maybe it's because I do a podcast on Sexuality I find this more amusing than GM's giving me $#!^ but I have to say this would at least be a funny joke to pull on a player just to see their reaction.

Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... As someone who runs a Podcast on Kink and Sexuality let me just say those 3 point CSLs add up quick.

Re: Super Friends Campaign "Power Levels" ahem... Sorry had to get that out of the system.

Re: your pcs might be OVERPOWERED IF... I think it's safe to say anything from Rifts post like supplement 3. ... When you first heard about Lovecraft's Mythos you thought: Who is this hack and how did he find out about my character? More importantly. why did he tone him down and make him wear yellow.

Re: Super Friends Campaign Themes I can picture this, okay everyone make 600 Base +150 Disadvantage Heroes. Please take Analyze Combat at 20-. "Okay, looks like they have 6 PD, due to my moral code I should only use 8d6 out of 35d6 Strength on this attack." - Superman's Player As a GM, I would just enjoy watching the players squirm at all the baddassery they are not using.

Re: Reality Alteration: Welcome to the comics This maybe a Major transform with AoE Megascale, Uncontrollable, NND: Mental Defense and Limited to the one effect.

Re: Reality Alteration: Welcome to the comics Sounds like she wields raw fiatium. This is an NPC right?

Re: The Namesake Thread So I think this a fairly accurate conversion, this is all off memory from years ago and from a very different system. Something I found kind of amusing is that Certified came very close to being a starting level Superhero PC. I added a few more herocentric things in his Variable Power Pool I think by the end Certified had a fairly wide smattering of Spheres with one or two at fives and fours. I added the second VPP to represent the lingering damage of a healing spell gone wrong. It never had any numeric effect but I think it's of a low enough value it should be okay.
