    DoctorImpossible got a reaction from CaptainCoulson in Top Five Fictional Characters to Punch In the Face   
    Thor, for not noticing that Loki had been under the influence of the same sceptre/mind control as Hawkeye had been during the events of the Chitauri invasion. What, did Thor think Loki just suddenly became a wannabe dictator of his own free will? Despite that completely contradicting everything he knows about the personality of the brother he has known for millennia?
     
    Speaking of which, Thor again, but also Sif and all of the Warriors Three, for the events of the first Thor film. First Thor is banished without his hammer and "the power of Thor", to Midgard. Fair enough, he learns some humility and stuff, Loki is currently the only possible heir to the throne of Asgard for a while. 
     
    Then, when Odin enters the Odinsleep, Sif and the Warriors Three *commit treason* against both Odin and Loki, by visiting Midgard to try and find Thor and convince him to come back to Asgard to steal the throne, effectively staging a coup while his father is in the Odinsleep, and we're... supposed to think that they're the good guys? I think?
     
    Loki, quite rightly, as the rightful (albeit temporary) King Of Asgard, sends the Destroyer (an Asgardian law enforcement tool created for exactly this purpose) down to Midgard to take down Sif and the Warriors Three. They, and now Thor, resist arrest, destroy the Destroyer, and, in Thor's case, violate their exile, to return to Asgard. Once there, all five violently assault Loki, the rightful King Of Asgard.
     
    Fortunately for them, Odin wakes from the Odinsleep and opts to apparently punish them far, far less than he will later punish Loki, for the "crime" of *being tortured and mind controlled by an enemy of Asgard*. 
     
    So, yeah, Thor, Sif, and The Warriors Three are four traitors and their big, dumb, royal accomplice, well deserving of far more of a punishment than a mere strike to the face, but since that is what is on offer...

    DoctorImpossible reacted to Tech in Mutant Cure   
    The original request was: "I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to stat a serum that could be carried around in an device to cure mutants or inhumans if one was encountered in the middle of a field mission? Not against their will, even".  This seems to be a plot device which no player will be using. However, he asked how it could be built and it can be built since with enough points, any power can be built. However, PsiJudge has already said:  "Thanks guys. I think I know what I'm doing now" so unless he says something, I think he's good to go.

    And this is a game so saying handwavium isn’t really useful. Even if the GM says the Mutant Cure affects everyone the same and in 3 turns you turn normal if way more useful info than handwavium.

    If you're using 6th Edition, don't forget about the Absolute Effect rule (basic discussion in Volume 1, page 133; a more detailed explanation plus some creative uses of it in Steve Long's "Control Powers" supplement).  This might be helpful in a basic stat-out of a "Mutant Cure" power.

    The problem I have with these type answers are that they aren’t really useful. I get the point that this doesn’t need fully stated out. Even plot devices should have pertinent information listed and questions answered.

    Never said I'd allow such a construct, but just presenting a RAW method(totally different from a fair and balanced method).
     
    Note that making it take 64 segment(1 min, 04 seconds) just ups the cost to 65 points.
     
    Severe Transform 0 1/2d6, Damage Over Time, Target's defenses only apply once, Lock out (cannot be applied multiple times) (33-64 damage increments, damage occurs every Segment, +5 1/2) (65 Active Points)
     
    Hideously overpowered, sure. Legal by RAW, also sure. Constructs like this are what GM's are for.

    Easy using 6th  and not really expensive. Transform is inherently Cumulative.
     
    Mutant Cure:  Severe Transform 0 1/2d6 (Mutant into Normal Human, Reversal Medical Treatment), Damage Over Time, Target's defenses only apply once, Lock out (cannot be applied multiple times) (33-64 damage increments, damage occurs every 5 Minutes, can be negated by Antidote; +3 1/2) (45 Active Points)
     
    One injection that will do 128 BODY over the course of 5 hours and 20 minutes while only being subject to Power Defense once. Damage Negation is probably ineffective although Damage Reduction at the 1/2(possibly) or 3/4(likely) will make a target immune.

    Well, I can do that for you. Look at Loki's eyes from the Thor film and any film apart from the first Avengers film. Green, right? (Except in his blue-skinned, red-eyed, form of course.) That is his natural eye colour. 
     
    Now look at his eye colour when he arrives on Midgard to take the tesseract. Bright blue. 
     
    Who else has their eye colour changed from whatever it was before to a piercing blue? Anyone being controlled by the stone in his sceptre. When Hawkeye is under his command, mind controlled, he has bright blue eyes, unlike his usual steely grey eyes whenever Jeremy Renner played him in the rest of the MCU. 
     
    Loki isn't invading midgard because he was hoping to conquer it. Asgard has always been the only place he cared about, except for his targeting of Jotunheim simply to win his father's approval in Thor 1. Loki is here to attack Midgard as a cover for him first grabbing the Tesseract (and therefore an infinity stone) then also attacking New York (which is, canonically, where the Sorcerer Supreme is, at that exact moment) to get hold of the Eye Of Agamotto and therefore another Infinity Stone, since Earth has the rare distinction of holding two of the infinity stones at the time. Well worth Thanos risking his own infinity stone, carried by a mind-controlled god, to bring him back two more. 
     
    You can even see how badly hurt Loki had been, just before he was mind-controlled and sent to Midgard to capture infinity stones, much more so than after Hulk's beatdown. He'd been tortured, for a long time, whether for information or simply to make sure that the mind control would take effect. 
     
    How does this make losing a fight to the Hulk into a victory for Loki? Well, much like Dr Selvig managed to resist mind control just enough to include an off-switch for his portal, Loki managed to resist his own mind control enough to pick a fight with the Hulk and then opt to monologue instead of being ready for an actual fight. Which, much like Black Widow's punch to Hawkeye's head to "recalibrate" his brain, was able to reset Loki's mind to free it from the mind control. You may notice that his eyes, after the beatdown, are back to their normal emerald green, instead of the bright blue of the mind control effects. He also suddenly changes from Shakespearean villain monologues, that we know are not his usual mode of speech, to the casual quipster that we are more familiar with.

    I have long questioned my religious beliefs, specifically regarding my faith in the Gods of the Norse. I finally made my mind up to follow them recently, specifically because Disney have supposedly tried to claim that they own the trademark on the name Loki, and using my legally mandated right to the religious freedom to use one of my Gods' names as I see fit, just to mess up the plan of a wealthy, dictatorial mega-corporation like Disney in response to such a spurious proclamation, seems like an appropriate thing to do for Loki.
