I also came up with doing this in a previous thread. I did Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.
 
 
I'm kind of curious what you expected of CHATGPT? Did it live up to your expectations? Do you think it will be replacing human character/adventure generation?

LUCY!!!!!!!!!!
YOU GOT SOME SPLAININ TO DO!!!!!!
 
I too watch the old shows (Mission Impossible, I Love Lucy, Star Trek. Bewitched, etc...) because I can't get into the new TV network shows.
 
I'm probably showing my age too!

Another old fogy here, and Ball and Arnaz's company was the first thing I thought of, too.
 
In fact, given the median age of this community, I think that will come to mind a lot. 👴👵

I told it to design <insert name> using the hero system 6e rules 🙂
 
I just wanted to see if could make an accurate representation of the characters using the 6e rules.

I noticed we've been getting a lot of new people trickling in to Hero System. I thought it would be nice to introduce each other and I have put together a list of questions I thought would help. Some questions are hero related but others just general questions I could think of. Enjoy 🙂

On an A to F scale how do you rate the system overall

It seems like summons and duplication are more like special effects than straight powers. Doc Democracy built a character named Madding Crowd w/o using the duplication power and instead used it as a special effect. Some ideas:
 
Clairsentience = Summon a bunch of people to look around (as above)
Density Increase = A bunch of duplicates on top of someone
EB w/ Area Effect = Attack a bunch of foes with dozens of duplicates
 
You get the idea. The Madding Crowd character is in the download misc section so take a look.

I have a plot seed concerning Destroyer changing to a female:
 
The Doctor realizes the armor can longer sustain him, his body's DNA is becoming unstable and must use other methods to survive. Through research he finds a way to digitally download his brain to another body with similar physiology. The one he seems to find that is almost identical is an upcoming model/actress named Wendy Allen with no close family ties. He clones Wendy and transfers his memories into the new body.
 
He destroys both his original body and stores the "actress" memories on file in case of necessity like inquiring fans or paparazzi.
 
"Wendy Allen" is becoming a major superstar thanks to the use of digital suggestion (and natural beauty) to make him/her an icon in the acting world. The Doctor is using this a possible stepping stone for control of the entertainment industry and manipulate the minds of a new generation of movie goers to eventual global control.

I have a similar thread about the master villains you're discussing if you want some ideas.
 
 
Hope this helps.
 

I'm curious about some power or power combinations that you as a player or GM came across that you thought awful cheesy?
 
In 5th edition, I had a player in my group who used the power AID where half the points ended up in PD and the rest of the points back into AID creating a perpetual motion machine like power.
As  far as I know it wasn't illegal but kind of cheesy.

I'm building the character right now and we haven't gotten into any legal issues yet. Right now I am building the character and the mechanics are confusing me.
Some of the suggestions above seem good but not exactly what I am looking for.
 
The PC, as mentioned, is a PI who can see events (past, present, and future) and wants to record them without the use of mechanical devices (ex. bugs) being planted in a room.
The PI can then record these audio and/or visual images to aid in his investigations.
 
Thanks for all the previous answers though.
