Re: A Thread for Random Videos Quite possibly the most embarrassing 3:54 in human history. 2:29 is a moment for the ages.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos I always liked this one:

Re: New Original Wonder Woman Isn't a 20 STR a little light? I seem to remember her bending iron bars and the like. Maybe I'm thinking of Jaime Sommers.

Re: Your Definition Of A Super Hero? I can't believe we're having this debate when there's been a well established definition for years: Mr. Brown: At Diversity Today, we believe it's very easy to be a hero. All you need are honesty, empathy, respect, and open-mindedness. Dwight Schrute: Ah, excuse me? I'm sorry, but that's not all it takes to be a hero. Mr. Brown: Great, well, what is a hero to you? Dwight Schrute: A hero kills people, people that wish him harm. A hero is part human and part supernatural. A hero is born out of a childhood trauma, or out of a disaster, that must be avenged. Mr. Brown: Uh, you're thinking of a superhero. Dwight Schrute: We all have a hero in our heart

Re: Doesn't this sound like a gadgeteer villain idea to take over the world? It wouldn't be the phones, it'd be the cell towers. That's why I put a little piece of tin foil inside my hats.

Re: What Non-Fiction Book have you just finished? Some friends of mine and I formed a book club with a focus on history/ politics/ cultural studies about 5 years ago. We've read some great ones and some real stinkers. My all-time favority book was Conspiracy of Fools, by Kurt Eichenwald about the Enron collapse. We're currently reading Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us) by Tom Vanderbilt.

Re: WWYCD: Mirror Universe I'd order Spock to kill us both.

Re: Totally noob question I was in the same boat about 6 months ago and you could do what I did. I joined a game and wrote up a character using the old rules handed it to the GM who rolled his eyes and handed me the 5ER and told me to read it before coming back. Worked like a charm! Getting back in after a long lay off lead to some odd looks when I admitted not knowing what Megascale or Millennium City was one moment, but I could recite the vulnerabilities of Classic Enemies the next. Good luck and have fun!

Re: Odd Champions campaigns I'm in if I can play Incoherent Kid.

Re: Champions Personality Poll Hey alright! I got Superman. I thought I'd end up with Robin or something.

Re: The Worst character in comics I'll split my vote between Guy Gardner and the Punisher.

Re: Superman Sometime in the 80's Adventurers Club printed a DC Heroes to Champions System conversion. I ran it word for word for the Man of Steel with no personal interpretation (i.e. no Super Ventriloquism) and created a 1766 point hero under 3rd edition rules. His STR was a 150. It's amazing what you can do with a 1,413 Hero Bonus. Cassandra, I like the first write-up as opposed to the updated version. Something about his LS and ES in Ultra Slots doesn't work for me.

Re: Black Widow (250 Points) Cool write-up. I'd add that she's a world class ballerina and her COM seems light at 18.

Re: Campaign: Classic Champions Universe I love the idea of a Champions reboot. Empty canvas that you can populate with the established CU as you go (with changes as needed of course). Sounds like a lot of fun. Deathstroke was one of the first games I ever ran. Good times.
