Re: This is Stupid... Welcome to the Awful-verse! Check all clones and dopplegangers with the attendant, then proceed to registration and classification... Guns-n-Pouches types, please step over to the left. Yes, you can compare the length of your "gun barrels" if you like. Special prize for the person with the most pouches. Mutants and Emo-Angst types, form a queue on the right, over there under the black cloud. Wolverine clones, please step through the transporter labeled "Bub-Snikt". You will be taken to a small planet devoted to your type of character. Mega-powerful and mystical characters, please phase sideways into the Discontinuity Dimension where you will be assigned to an upcoming Universal Reboot. The large center area is devoted to A$$hattery. If you anticipate acting completely out of character for entire story arcs, please wait there. No, you don't have to listen to Reed Richards explain it all "With Math!" if you don't want to.

Note the number of ammo pouches, which he will need for this .50 caliber BFG he carries..."

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat For the duration of her term in office, the knock-jingle is officially "Shave and a Shimmy, Two Bits".

Re: What was Marvel's WORST decade? Actually, I think the metagaming aspect would kick in, and the players would try to find ways for their characters to "investigate" something they wouldn't actually know wasn't "wrong" in their (revised) world. The players themselves would treat it as a mystery to be solved. That said, I agree OMD was an incredibly stupid thing for Marvel to do. But after Civil War (and the Clone Saga, and... need I go on?) this seems to be "business as normal" at the House of Ill-Conceived Ideas.

Re: My Danger Sense Goes . . . Are you talking about different results of a successful Danger Sense roll, or creating Powers with "danger sense" as the SFX? If the latter, you could have: Flash Defense (sight), Requires Danger Sense Roll -- you get enough warning to close or cover your eyes in time. You could build a Combat Luck type of defense, Not vs. AOE, Requires DS Roll. Skill Levels on stuff like Conversation, Persuasion, Disguise etc. -- only for defending in skill-vs-skill contests. (A timely Danger Sense warning makes you think twice before speaking, or as the person is trying to convince you, or "sees through" a person's disguise, etc.)

Re: Beefing up Villians Another thought is for the villains to recruit, or even temporarily hire, someone that would work very well against the heroes by taking advantage of a hole in the heroes' MO. For example, in my game none of the PCs have Area Effect damage attacks, and only one can affect desolidified targets. So one master villain recruited Pestilence, a shrinker who can summon swarms of stinging/biting insects to harass the heroes. Are the heroes mostly ground-bound? Pick a fight in an open-air area, and hire some thugs to attack from rooftops with No Range Mod sniper rifles. Are the heroes weak in enhanced senses? Hire someone with Invisibility to ambush them in combat. Is one hero the damage sponge? Ignore him and concentrate on taking out his softer teammates first. Villains can have key info on the heroes (vulnerabilities, susceptabilities), even if was never displayed in combat against that particular villain. I introduced an organization (CrimeNet) into my game that collects and disseminates info on individual heroes and hero groups, for a small fee. They start hero fan clubs and internet chat rooms and discussion boards dedicated to the heroes, giving them a lot of unwitting help in collecting this information. This made a fun plotline for the heroes to follow up on, after they discovered different groups of enemies all possessing similar printouts on their powers and tactics.
