Mr. R

It works. You just don't usually see Lockout on only one power, so I was curious. 

Deviates a bit from my backstory for the character, but I think it works very well. 

He comes from a land down under
 
  I took the Spidy villain Pumpkin Jack as my inspiration. 
 
To Power him up, give him more gadgets
 
To weaken him, get rid of the grenades

We come to "E".  She has no code name:
 
 
 
I wanted the Brick who gets hurt, but heals before your eyes.  In a way she's like Wolverine (but prettier).  And taking inspiration for Ben Grimm, I made her a hot shot pilot.
 
To power her up a few levels of HTH, Spd of 5, and general improvement of her stats.  Maybe add a Vehicle pool!
 
To weaken her get rid of the Damage Reduction and maybe even the Reduced End on Strength

I wan this to have a more.... international flavour.  I like the Vietnamese or maybe Moroccan?

Goals are the most important thing.
 
Unfortunately, in some of the source material, "proactive" means becoming fascist dictators or going on a murder spree. That's no different from being a supervillain.
 
In a more general case, proactive means seeking to make change. That can occur on different scales, and that means that power levels are less important. It doesn't inherently require becoming authorized to do things either.
 
An example: if you are living in a crapsack environment, your characters can act towards changing that. If a city (or town) is being held back by a network of corruption and organized crime, for example, the goal of breaking up that network becomes worthwhile. That requires more than just stopping individual crimes - the symptoms of the problem.
 
Once you break up that network, ordinary people can then start to fix up the rest of the problems. Of course that leads into everyday issues of power, wealth, racism and all the rest of it, which is a bit beyond the normal scope of superpowers.
 
But maybe you can break up the local Klan-equivalent, expose the environmentally destructive practices of the local Evil Corporation and it's Evil Corporate Overlord and...
 
At the very least, this is different from sitting around waiting for the Bat-phone to ring.
 
A fun option: stopping "proactive heroes" who are being murderous fascist jerks.
 
 

Man, I would love to see the character sheets from those early PCs and compare them to what they are now.  This would be like Mr. Allston's treatment in the Strike Force book.
 
Also a timeline would be seriously cool!

Mr. Immediate is from Norway--specifically the town of Hammerfest, in the far north.  Unable to tolerate the persistent cold weather, he wished fervently he could be in Hawaii, or someplace else warn and sunny.  One day, he got his wish--and found himself on a warm, sunny beach.  Soon he was visiting places all over the world--and then UNTIL found him and recruited him for the Alphabet Squad.  As he had always been a good person with no desire to break the law in a major way, he agreed.
 
Hope that helps.

Freefire could be Tomás Santos from Portugal.

Its a magic system that Chris Taylor uses in his world he currently had three books available for purchase A bestiary A spell codex which also explains his magic system and field guide which
covers a lot of stuff like crafting and herbs. He has a web site that has some free download that explain some things.

I'm using the Jolrhos magic system , but the thing I really loved about Killershike was his totem magic system and his musical instruments system as well have added both of those to mine as well.

It's hard for me to believe I'm saying this but come this June, our campaign will be 40 years old, along with the 40th Anniversary of the game Champions. It's actually mind-boggling to me, that any campaign could be that long. The campaign is older than my friend's marriage as well as some people in the campaign. I'm planning on buying some plastic award medals that you can put your own emblem inside of and giving them out in June. By the way, this is the same continuous campaign - never stopped or retconned. It's gone through changes over the decades and has seen players & characters come and go, but the core players are still playing some of the same characters that the campaign started with.
 
So along with saying it's been 40 years, I also want to say that it is the Champions game that is so durable and flexible that made this happen. My hat off to you, Hero Games and more specifically, to Champions.

Delta of Venus sounds vaguely Greek to me. Angelina Metsiopis as a name?
 
For Belle, Mai Nguyen?
 
Caterwaul - I might suggest going against type and making them Scots.

I like the alchemy section so I think I'll add it in for all cultures!

With Belle, while the French language aspect is great, why not use somewhere else it's spoken? She could be Angolan, Haitian or New Caledonian. Or Vietnamese.
(Come to that, I like Vietnamese. Good reason for her to have other languages and not perhaps what would be expected by someone being pursued by a P.I.)

Wrong name
 
Requin fits MUCH better!
 
 
SO:
Angel (blaster)
Belle (Investigator/ Gadgeteer)
Caterwaul (HTH expert with a blast)
Delta of Venus (Emotion control)
Elenor (Brick)
Freefire (Speedster/ fire projector)
Gunslinger (Guess)
Hellstorm (Pyromancer)
Mr. Immediate (Teleporter)
Jumping Jack (Gadgeteer/ Acrobat/ Martial Artist)
Knockout (Tactile TK)
Locust (Martial Artist)
Moonstruck (Geokinetic?)
Nobody (Invisible Scout)
Optic (Enhanced Vision)
Psion (Mentalist)
Quatrefoil (Elemental Controller)
Requin (Aquatic Expert)
Saturn (Gadgeteer / Investigator / Scientist)   HMMM How is he with Belle?
Turbulence (Weather Control)
Upscale (Growth Brick)
Valoress (Brick / Drill Sargant)

Didn't he used to team up with Downtown and Gentrification?

Tech-vs-magic is a recurrent theme in much of Norton's early fantasy work, most explicitly her two "Janus" novels.
 
I have to admit, I've long been intrigued by the idea of a campaign based around a war between a magic-based fantasy world, and a technology-wielding alien invader. I would like to use Hero's Atlantean Age setting, with the Atlantean global empire at its height, as the invaded world. With their magically-enhanced and -armed soldiers, war golems, sky-ships and sky-chariots, not to mention wizards with mighty elemental combat magicks, Atlantis would make a far more appropriate opponent for a tech-equipped army than most fantasy societies. On the other side of the coin, Champions Beyond briefly describes a malevolent alien race called the Ghok'pa, destroyed by the Star*Guard "tens of thousands of years ago" (about in the Atlantean ballpark) after they tried to enslave other worlds using "the dark mental powers of their priests." That sounds like a motif that wouldn't be a major tonal discord with a fantasy milieu.

When I adapted TA to my own use, I expanded the role of various non-humans, giving them a more prominent "footprint" in the setting. For example, I made more explicit the economic and political ties between the score of named Dwarven kingdoms and their human neighbors, as well as their role as trade middlemen between the surface world and the Sunless Realms. I also tried to individualize each kingdom as done with the human nations in TA. I inserted more Elven forest realms into several areas where there was space on the map without much else happening in their vicinity. I also gave more independence to various Gnome and Halfling communities. I added communities of Drakine driven from their original homes by the wars with Men who had adapted to new living arrangements, e.g. "barbaric" clans living within the Ulimar Jungle; and boat-dwelling Drakine "gypsies" roving the coasts of Lake Beralka and the Sea of Mhorec. I also established a couple of underwater kingdoms of Merfolk in places I thought they would logically fit, and expanded the presence of aquatic races like the Uthosa in Mhorec and Beralka.

I would agree about the volunteering part.  A lady who chose to have parts of her striped off and replaced would be extremely focused.  
 
 
Also I agree with the Steve Austin/ Jamie Summers idea.  Add a suit of body armour to protect those vital organs, but with arms and legs with built in weapons and tools!

Taking a page from City of Heroes, the cult seeks a method of summoning ancestor spirits en mass to use as heavy hitters in their fights.  And even if defeated these spirits keep coming back.  Being able to summon a host of them would be catastrophic.  OR.... rather than a regular spirit a GREATER spirit (like 400-500 pts).  Can you disrupt the ritual?  If they are successful, can you defeat the GREATER spirit and stop their plan?

Just some songs I like at this time of year.
 
If there are any others you can think to add, let me know!
 
 

That's essentially what I did with the official Champs villain team, the Ultimates. Their name begs the question, "ultimate what?" and their membership is already preponderantly scientists, so I jiggered their roster a little to make them all scientists. Like Beamline these Ultimates believe in rule of the world by the scientific elite, who as the most knowledgeable and "rational" thinkers are best suited to govern and apply science to the benefit of all. They do actively recruit other scientists (not just supervillains) into a larger network they call the International Scientific Elite, or ISE (pronounced "eyes"). ISE has established research centers, or "Secret Plan Bases," in hidden locations around the globe (financed by the Ultimates' thefts) where they work to develop super-weapons with which to blackmail Earth's governments into submitting to them. The Ultimates also try to steal breakthrough technologies invented by others.
 
(Long-time Champions players will probably recognize the inspirations for several of the above-mentioned elements. I never claimed to be an original thinker.)
