This incarnation of The Rustlers is the 3rd generation of them. Also, how do you think the connection between the Warlockz and DEMON could work?

I am planning on doing a HEROS game one day focusing on a group of Heroes in Millennium City fighting the city's street gangs. So far i came up with two gangs for use in it. The first gang is The Warlockz, a gang consisted of Caucasians and African-Americans that specialize in Arms dealing, drug trafficking, and Racketeering and are easily identified by their red aviator jackets that has their infamous logo, that of a evil sorcerer with red eyes. They are also rumored to be connected to DEMON, which makes The Warlockz much more threatening to the citizens of Millennium City. The second idea i have is a gang called The Rustlers. They are a cowboy-themed gang that are leftovers from "The Silver Age". They used to be the enemies of a now retired super-heroine called The Eagle who have somehow survived into the modern era. The gang has evolved from a bunch of thugs who commit Cowboy-themed crimes into a a brutal street gang who specialize in Drugs, Prostitution, Car Jacking, and Black Marketerring. However, they still keep the cowboy gimmick and are currently led by a mysterious man named Joseph Bloody-Scalp, a man with the ability to transform himself into a Lycanthropic-like creature. What do you think of these antagonists and how do you think they could fit in the Champions setting?

I am guessing his son would probably have the same powers.

Yeah, Kenetic being The Tornado's former nemesis makes sense. Also, i feel tempted to make The Tornado's leader, Chad, the son of Fat Man, who is one one of the people bankrolling the gang, even though Fat Man claims to be retired.

Sounds like a interesting guy. Also, if i make their former nemesis a Champion, the Nemesis might be either Jaguar depending on what edition i get, Nighthawk, or Withcraft. Though, i do wonder why Witchcraft would have constant fights with a gang of rich punks.

Good advice so far. One other idea I had is to make a past incarnation of them a former enemy of a member of The Champions. I wonder which Champion, past or present would've made a fitting foe for a gang of spoiled punks and how they could've resurfaced years later?

I am thinking about purchasing one of The Champions editions. While thinking up antagonists, I came up with a street gang Called The Tornadoes. The Tornadoes are a street gang consisted of middle-class punks and trust-fund babies doing the life of a gang-banger for fun and for some quick cash. They are mostly based in the more-well off areas of Millennium City and are easily recognizable by their uniform, which consists of a Blue Sweater with a Tornado image on it, blue jeans, and brown shoes. Can i have some advice on how to make this gang a threat to superhero PCs?

I found the perfect song for my guy.

Good point with the henchmen. I am just picturing random street thugs with mechanical wings attacthed to them by harnessess. Icarus, of course, calls them his flock. Also, I wonder which one of the current Champions would make a fitting nemesis. I am kinda thinking either Defender, Kinetic, or Witchcraft.

Good points so far. I am wondering how a bird-man could get human henchmen without creeping them out with his appreance?

I might go along with the half-man half-bird idea and also make him a airplane thief. I am now wondering how it would work mechanically to give his henchmen flight suits to help with his capers?

I came up with a basic outline for a villain to use in Champions if i ever get it. The basic idea is a villain who is obsessed with flight and aviation . His obsession is staved at first by stealing airplanes, but, as time goes by he becomes so obsessed with flying that he gene-splices himself and effectively makes himself half-man half-bird. This obsession was started by his father who unfortunatley died after being tossed of a airplane. My villain, whose name is Icarus, wondered if his father's death could've been prevented if his father had the ability to fly a bird. So, he pretty much got more and more obsessed with flight as he pondered this idea and studied bird wings and made his own flight suits, which failed epically. He tried to get his pilot's liscense, but failed. That caused him to become so obsessed with flying that he decided he was gonna be a pilot with or without a liscense. So, he started to steal planes throughout Millienium City and once hhe was donge flying them, he would sell them to the highest bidder. My question is how would you make him threatening mechanics wise both in human form and in human-bird hybrid form?

I came up with a antagonist for Champions. He is basically a guy who has a psychotic obsession with fairy tales that haunted his childhood, especially Grimm's fairytales, and not the edited versions. He turned into a villain after getting shot in the head by a bank robber in Millennium City and being plunged into a coma. During his coma, he was trapped in a nightmare world that was full of twisted versions of the fairy tales that haunted his whole childhood. When he finally woke up 3 years later, he kept on seeing image of his nightmares and heard a voice in his head reciting the fairy tales he heard during his childhood. Edward was unfortunately driven insane and ended up attacking and killing his nurse. Before he left however, he cut off her ponytail and wrote the name Rapunzel in blood. Edward had become a psychotic criminal nicknamed Lorekeeper, who bases his crimes off fairy tales. He uses gadgetry that is based off of fairy tale memorabilia like poison gas grenades shaped like apples, and a axe that cuts anything among others. What he doesn't know is that the voice reciting the stories to him is a entity from a different dimension using him for it's own ends. I need help detailing him mechanically, developing the entity that is secretly controlling him and making plothooks.

I figure that the society would be especially opposed to magical heroes like Witchcraft. I am also wondering what to make their average like stats wise.

They actually think that chaos is whatever oppose them. They plan on having no chaos whatsoever.

I know the masons aren't evil. But, i just like basing evil secret societies off them because of there secrecy and rituals.

I would like them to encounter both. The Mistress is probably a extra-dimensional being that embodies order. The order was founded in 1895 so it is pretty old and may have some backers in some wealthy families. I would guess the technology comes from a man named Simon Husk, a tech mogul who works for the group. The reason they don't use magic is because the Mistress view it as too chaotic. They are Hierarchical and answer to the High Lord. Below him are priests and barons. The two lowest ranks are acolyte and recruit. The Mistress wants all reality to be static and unchaotic. Think 1984. The Order, of course, thinks they are gonna be in charge. The Torch is supposed to be a symbol that represents the Orders guidance from chaos to order. The kidnappees are brainwashed into joining the order.

They also do the occasional occult ritual.

They have some hidden documents and if they were stolen they would reveal a lot about the group. They resources are very varied. They have military-grade weaponry all the way to very high-tech gadgetry. They have a super branch called "The Chosen of the Mistress" Which is consisted of supers the group says are blessed by the "Mistress". assault. Besides infiltrating governments. The Order does kidnappings, robbery and assassination. They have also been known to recruit in college campuses and the internet.

I came up with a antagonist group. They are a Masonic-like group called The Order of the Black Torch. They are based in Athens,Greece and are led by a mysterious man called The Highlord. They are servants of a mysterious deity calling itself The Mistress of Order. Her origins and real name is unknown. But, what is known is that she is disgusted by the amount of chaos the world is under right now and wants to bring it under her own form of order. The Order of the Black Torch is dedicated to this cause and often installs it members in various governing bodies throughout the world. Of course, they have to deal with the occasional snooping around by reporters and heroes who want to know more about the group and their mysterious rituals. They have managed to remain secretive but they,along with their mistress knows that one day their intentions will be exposed. I want advice on how to build this group. I also want help on detailing the Mistress of Order.

Sorry for the bad grammer on my previous post. I was typing on a mobile phone and I accidently entered it before i was finished. I do like your idea for using prank-themed weapons instead of toys. One prank is a explosive whoopee cushion which blows up when enough pressure is placed upon it. I have to figure out who gave them those pranking tools because odds are he is not intelligent enough to make those types of pranks on his own. Also, I am wondering if I should make him have a past with the Champions or not.

So, Harlquin and him have one thing in common, the both have deadly toys. But, Goldstein's personality might be vastly different. Most of the time he is very childish and views every crime as a game and is prone to childu

Thanks for the advice so far. What do you think of the whole evil Pee-Wee Herman gimmick he had going On?

I came up with a villain to use if i ever get Champions. His name is Elijah Goldstein, AKA Funnybone. Elijah used to be a actor on a kids TV show called Uncle Bill's Funhouse. On it, he played a man-child-like character named Funnybone His character was well loved by parents and children and was well received by critics who called the character a mix of Pee-Wee Herman and Stan Laurel. Unfortunately, Elijah was having his own problems outside of work. His mother was terminally ill and was moved to Elijah's apartment so he could care for her and his ex-girlfriend was suing him for a bullshit sexual harassment charge. Then it happened, a few days after the law suit was dropped, Elijah's mother passed away in her sleep, leaving Elijah with no family. The next day, he was suddenly and unexpectedly fired by the studio executive and was replaced the same day. While on his way home from his last day of work, a unexpected bomb planted by a VIPER agent near Vibora Bay Bank knocked Elijah off his feet and buried him under rubble. Suddenly, something snapped inside Elijah and he started to laugh. First in his normal voice, than in the voice of his Funnybone persona. When he was rescued three hours later, he unexpectedly attacked the paramedic who pulled him out of the rubble and bit off his ear. He then ran off into the night, his mad cackle echoing off the walls of the city. He had turned into a darker and much more sinister version of his character. Except, instead of a well-meaning childish goofball. He is now a cold-blooded childish criminal who views every crime he does as a game for heroes and him to play. His first crime was blowing up his former boss by placing a explosive jack-in-the-box in his car. He then started a crime spree across the city that ended when one of the Champions apprehended him and shipped him off to a loony farm upstate. Recently, he has escaped and may be heading back to Vibora Bay. Equipment: Funnybone uses deadly versions of childhood toys and sometimes, a trusty machine gun. A few questions: How would you build this guy with the HERO system? Which Champion would be a fitting nemesis and would anyone be willing to draw him and his minions for me for reference?
