I have had a lot of trouble building Spider-Man, especially without using any Focus. 

His Bugging is the Spider Trackers.

His Eidetic Memory is his Camera.

His Stretching is Spider-Man using his web slingers to grab and object.

One of the villains has to be Rodeo Clown. Because Clowns are evil.

Then there is Texas Steer who is a minotaur Big horns.

For financial corruption you could always use Indian Agent

Then there is the Indian hating military minded Custer of the East

After the ELO song Wild West Hero, we have Wild West Villain 

They are not so dangerous so they have been dubbed The Mild Bunch

He looks like a train from the Old West, Iron Horseman

The South never fell for Stonewall Johnson

I use Emperor Maximilian and Pancho Villa.

Champions Universe has a few cities of fiction which to hang your hero hats in.

 

Millennium City (Detroit): Hi tech big city of the midwest/upper north.

 

Vibora Bay: Mystical southern east city of mid size.

 

Hudson City: Semi-corrupted city of Mafia and darkness, where costumed vigilanties and costumed mercenaries outnumber out right superpowered heroes three to one (and only vaugly exists within the Champions Universe).

 

And now:

 

Star City: A southern city proud of its western heritage, Star City is unique because it is layed out in a city grid which looks like a huge five pointed star. It is a big place. It is a place where heroes are just as likely to wear cowboy boots and a ten gallon hat along with there masks. There are more country-western bars here than rock n roll bars. It is a center of hi tech, but not THE center of hi tech. For magic, you are more likely to find ghost bison and Native American Shamanic Magic than anything else.

Lone Star City might work better.

Yes it can. 

So you're the reason Greg the Bunny was cancelled.

And they have already established that Alice is working for a HER, who will probably be the next seasons big bad AND will require (ala Arrow and Deathstroke) Kate working with Alice to beat her. Mind you, they did something similar in the run that started a couple years ago, where Alice came back and was working with the father to help Kate.

Mia Sara as Harley Quinn no doubt.

Except Legends still has a Big Bad. 

Yes, but they usually are background and don't get in the way.

Any show that turns characters into puppets can't be all bad.

You know, I'm not entirely convinced that Batwoman needs to follow the serialized Big Bad For the Season structure established by Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It could benefit from a Villain of the Week structure instead, allowing them to use their creativity to establish a whole new rogue's gallery for Batwoman rather than focusing so much on a single antagonist for the whole season (or even for a big chunk of it). Because right now, the show is really straining under the weight of how tiresome Alice is as the featured antagonist.

That's the biggest problem with the CW shows except for Legends.  All of them have a main villain who is unstoppable until they accidentally step into an open manhole.  Legends avoids this by traveling through time taking on missions so they don't get bogged down with focusing only on one villain.

That's sad, because Batwoman's debut performance during the last CW crossover was intimidatingly impressive.

 

But almost all these CW superheroes seem more impressive during the crossovers.

That's because we are dealing with the Superheroes in the crossovers, and not the "Characters" behind the mask.

Richard III (1995)

William Shakespeare's play about Richard III is brought into the late 1930s with Ian McKellen, Annette Benning, Robert Downey Jr., and Kristin Scott Thomas.

Skip Reming for Earthquake safety.  I've had my opium pipe rattled more then a few times by the dirt goblins mischief.

I'm going to save some time here by reviewing tomorrow's episode now.

 

The latest episode of Batwoman was terrible.  How could Kate done that?  Alice is so predictable and yet Batwoman hasn't caught her yet. 

Called it.

Kate confronted Alice and left her alone to kill Katherine.  Alice was talking about a tea party and Batwoman didn't get that it might be the Charity Awards?  And Batwoman was basically useless as she took forever to fight a bunch of rent a cops and then let herself get broadsided by Alice's henchman.

I haven't seen that (or heck, even heard of it AFAICR). Is it any good?

It's funny and was written by James Gunn who is in the cast as Minute Man.  Jenna Fischer, his wife at the time has a cameo, as does Melissa Joan Hart.  

It's the day in the life of "The Sixth or Seventh Best Superhero Team in the World".  There are "Real World" like confessionals mixed in, and early in the movie an introduction of the team by Power Chick and Minute Man.  

The DVD Commentary by Gunn and Paget Brewster is hilarious, unless you're Jessica Alba.

There is a chance you'll get to punch a stranger.

Okay, I'm in.

You know in an old movie where you see lipstick on a wine glass next to a dead body?  This is that wine.

She'd certainly be on my "short list" for casting the character.

she was great as Deadly Girl in The Specials (2000).

That is Paco, my servant.  He is mute, and cannot speak.

Excellent,  Perhaps he can give lessons to my wife.

Played by Judy Greer.

Ahhh... okay! That's a very neat solution!

As you can tell I have a lot of templates already to go which helps creating a character.  My most recent, Spider Woman Jessica Drew is a variation of my Flying Weapons Master.

I really like these conversions. But isn't Prof X's Str a bit high? Also, has he recently gained the ability to fly? In the old comics I read that wasn't something he could do. In fact, in the old days I'm pretty sure he didn't have any TK at all, that was strictly Jean's power (though admittedly, I could easily be wrong, god knows the comics have been running forever and I haven't exactly kept up!). 

 

That said, these are still great!

His Flight is the X-Men Blackbird.  I don't use the vehicle rules and Professor X's function is mental power and transportation of the team.

The reward for this man is $5000.

Judas settled for $4950 less.

There were no dollars in those days.

But not Jimmy Olsson. He is notorious for gaining short time mutations.

I think that was all in his head.  

He also cross dressed three times in the comics.

Nighthawk might be too useful. And Daredevil is blind.

 

I am wondering if I should have included Snapper Carr ?

Or Rick Jones.
