death tribble

Hasn't this be covered in the bomb strapped to person thread of What would your hero do ? But I like the idea. Mind you we had several Speed 12 people. One was the Blur who had a baton that allowed him to do this. One of the others was the Voidwalker. A hero. With a 20 D6 energy blast. Who went on to have a cosmic power pool. And no, you honestly don't want to know what the terror of the Void was. Dice wise at least.

Well everyone who remained in our group was whitr but we had one black female player. It was fine, no issue ever made. When it came to characters though it was a different matter. To begin with we had the anti-mutant hostility which was a major part of the campaign always with known mutants in the campaign team. And then having to put up with Genocide and X-Terminate (which is what the non-robot part of Genocide became). The colour bar was also important to some characters like Ace who was a martial artist. We had some race things thrown in. Some villains were black or Asian. And yes hate-mongering villains like the Klansman. And hate-mongering heroes like Britain's Fist. What irked me was that when I proposed that we go after Genocide, the answer was no from the mutant players. I could never understand the logic of this. But that was the main GM for you. However we got the same answer when we wantd to take the offensive against other crime groups. QED But the team had resident aliens from off planet. The Unicorn who was big and yellow. cf the picture in the Images thread; The Voidwalker who was bonded with what became his DNPC but was just really a swirling blackness or night sky (depending on how much energy of the Destroyer was present) and the Angel who wore armour so we couldn't tell. We had two Puerto Ricans, a Brazilian and one African. And the person who was disliked the most out of the heroes who joined the team aside from the traitor was the one who would not share their feelings. They were afraid to but were given a really bad time for the mutants etc. But that again was the main GM. He played the best mutant Dr Density and the worst Wolfclaw (Wolverine). We only had one Arthurian type, The Shining Knight. Lastly the biggest Campaign villain was black. But bearing in mind that was the Destroyer, a monster (literally) their colour was never really the issue.

Granite was West Indian and a brick. Lethal Laser and Pole Star were Puerto Ricans. Ranger 2 was Brazilian. Thaw was Greek by ancestry. Puma was African

Too General/Nebulous or Specific Part 3 Dave, Thanks for including Double Cross. As for trying to talk you out of ones that have been rejected, Hah ! some wish. I have a few more batches of these again. Then I have a new list Would you find it helpful for a full list of the ones who appeared in the Palladium books and the GURPS books ? Elk Elusive Butterfly Entrance (hypnotise) F.A.S.T. Fellow Traveller Fighter Fire & Ice Firefighter Flash Dog Flash Harry Forestal Fuss Gang Boss Giant Frog Good Samaritan Gooner (fan of Arsenal Football club) Grandee Greasepaint Grebe Grey Nurse Grey Ray Hero Heroine Hill Himeki Hottentot (African native. Cf King Solomon's Mines) Housecarl (Saxon/Norman infantry) Illustrator Impostor Impressionist Industrial Espionage Couple of these might be too generic like Fighter, Hero and Heroine. I have no idea what F.A.S.T. stood for. But for a speedster it might be appropriate. Fellow Traveller is the name of a paranormal aiding Communists in America. Even today. Flash Harry is an English name used to imply that someone is a bit of a show off and maybe tied to something not quite legal. The Hottentot tribe are resiliant to heat but not cold as the book King Solomon's mines prove. Imposter is like the Chameleon in Spiderman. You may noty know that this is who you are dealing with.

Storn, Thanks

Could You ? Dear Storn, I wonder if I could ask a favour ? Can you have a look at the Superhero Images thread and have a look at the artwork I have put up. The pieces were mostly done by my brother and a friend of mine called Paul Geelan. Tragically the latter vanished over a decade ago and has not been seen since. But I would like to know what you think of them. They start on Page 10 and at present go to Page 14. You might find the ones on Page 14 amusing. Obviously I don't want an opinion on every one of them but a general view would be nice. Thanks

Very Silly Villain: Dr Strangefruit This is what happens when you cross Carmen Miranda with Dr Doom. Always good for a laugh, this is Dr Strangefruit. And if you should thwart his plans, the obviously you were his arch enemy. The good Doctor would turn on the hero and say 'You ! You're Richard Reeds !' And if you don't get that then you really need to read the Fantastic Four. Created and drawn by Paul Geelan. EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

Silly Villain: Mr Punch Part of the dynamic duo, Dr Jackal and Mr Punch, the latter was a simple and simple minded brick. In England there was a tradition known as Punch and Judy shows where Mr Punch usully used a truncheon to beat up Judy, the Crocodile, the Policeman and the Doctor. He also talked in a high pitched voice. Typical dialogue:- Mr Punch: Can I hit them Dr Jackal ? Dr Jackal: No, Punch Mr Punch: Oh, what a pity. EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

Silly Villain: Dr Jackal He talked like Noel Coward (see the original Italian Job with Michael Caine and a 40s film called In Which We Serve), dressed elegantly but was the result of Genetic experimentation down on Willow Farm carried out by Marion Willow. This is Dr Jackal. He was smooth, suave sophisticated and kept his erstwhile partner, Mr Punch in check. A great fun villain created and drawn by Paul Geelan EDIT: Attachment removed.

Vincento 'No Nose' Urko The attached is an example of aul's warped creativity on occasion. He wanted a Demon a little bit different for a witch to summon and this is what he came up with. Mysteria looked like an ordinary paranormal but was a witch. And what she summoned up was Vincento. First time he appeared he did not say much. Until someone actually stunned Mysteria. he then pulled out a humungous handgun and opened fire on the offending hero uttering the line 'You hurta the bossa lady, you make a my day !' Vincento was hunted by Elvis the Centaur. (Yup, Presley crossed with a centaur). Created and drawn by Paul Geelan. EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

Warlock 3 Here we see the Warlock in typical gloating mode. Near the end of his terrestial life he will soon die at the hands of the Protectors only to come back as a powerful Demon. Some villains. You maim them, you kill them. And then they turn up on your doorstep for revenge. What did we ever do to them ? Created and drawn by Paul Geelan. My favourite of the Warlock drawings. EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

Warlock 2 And as we are talking about the Pentacle, what about the man who made it all possible ? Ladies and Gentlemen let's hear it for the Warlock ! Shown here at the start of the Pentacle's formation. Created and drawn by Paul Geelan. EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

Master Spite Those who have been following the thread will have seen me mention Arsenic and what he became Master Spite. This indeed is Master Spite, a thoroughly horrible villain. If you killed him, he regenerated. He has a couple of nasty transformation and killing attacks. Spite joined the Pentacle and had his revenge on the Great Alfonso killing him in combat despite stringent efforts to save his life. Spite became one of the villains that got pounded in order to stop him doing something nasty. because his nasty was nasty indeed. Created and drawn by Paul Geelan EDIT: Attachment removed.

The Swamp Witch Sometimes your mistakes come back to haunt you. Other times something you were supposed to find inert like say a Skull turns into the real thing. So the whole group of us are in our first multi-part adventure which pits the Archon and his champions, The Protectors against the forces of the Destroyer. We had to collect pieces of something like the key to time. So having collected the first bit, the Magician (Yup my character) hit the wrong button in the time sphere and we ended up in the 13th Century. Up against the Swamp Witch. She was functionally blind but made do with sonar. And used Telekinesis in the form of a huge purple demon. Created and drawn by Paul Geelan this was the first villain in the campaign to have reflection. She became another recurring foe joining the Warlock in the Pentacle. EDIT: Attachment removed.

The Flame Mk 3 This is the third rendition of the Flame character sheet. I am not putting up Mk 2 as it really does not give much to people. However Mk 3 does. As you see the Flame is in flight and about to open fire. There is a little water damage which is why the right hand side is blue. At this point in his career the Flame has clashed with several of his team mates for their lax attitude to law enforcement ie looking cool is more important than enforcing the law and the penchent for some of them to let the villains go. He was also liaising with the government over the running of the team. No easy thing when Thatcher is in charge. The drawing is by my brother Paul. EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

Dr Apocalypse 2 mk 2 This is the Dr Apocalypse 2 armour after it has been in for an upgrade. To recap, Dr Apocalypse 2 is the son of Dr Apocalypse and is out for revenge after the Protectors aided in the death of his father. At this juncture Doc Apoc 2 is a member of the group VILE. Villains International League of Evil. Created and drawn by Paul Geelan EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

This is the original costume for Demon, the armour wearing leader of the Chaos Corps. The Infamous Mahoney Snark. He was not as good in his armour as he was a business man. At this he gave us much more to worry about. Created and drawn by Paul Geelan EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

Wolfclaw This one is he contentious one and I will happily remove if it is too IP. If a moderator also removes it before hand for this reason, so be it. However having seen the Epoch design which was adapted from a DC comics villain, I felt that it should be ok to post this one. Wolfclaw was a Wolverine rip off as you can see. The costume is when he was a member of the group MAIM, Mutants Against Ignorant Mankind. Created by the main GM of the campaign. And often badly played. 5d6 HKA before Str and trying to figure in martial arts and that ws used in preference to most anything else. Sadly. Drawn by Angie. EDIT: Attachment removed.

Silver Dreadnought This is for a hero I did not get the chance to play. The armour and design is based on Big Barda of the Female Furies. In the campaign, the armour is designed by the Magician. Drawn by my brother Paul. As always any criticisms welcome. EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

I think that Blonde Bombshell had a write up in the Champions comic. Gargoyle from the cover of the early editions of Champions. We'll never see him but.

Epoch based on DC character Epoch's design is based on a DC character who time travelled. I have the Secret Origins comic with the pic in it.

Poison This is Paul Geelan's adaptation of a villain I believe in Enemies: The International File called Pretty Poison. The idea was ok but needed work so Paul did this drawing and reworked the stats and origin. Voila Poison. Thaw almost ended up as her husband on a couple of occasions. And she almost got elected as head of state in the country's elections after Communism fell. Another member of the Chaos Corps. EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

Thorn Deputy leader of the Chaos Corps and lover of its leader, Mahoney Snark, Thorn was an egoist. Secret ID was a barmaid created and drawn by Paul Geelan EDIT: Attachment removed. Available on request

Carnage Now some of you might recognise this little lady. This is Herculan's daughter, Carnage. Well not 5th edition obviously. Carnage is half alien and a brick. She is also a regular member of the Chaos Corps, banes in the life of the North East Protectors especially around Halloween Night. Created and drawn by Paul Geelan EDIT: Attachment removed.
